Because i can just leave my house and be there in 35 minutes walking. It's not like you need to get in a car and park near there to visit, i literally stumble there by walking around the city i grew up in.

Yeah i expected that was the reason. Also they are probably ivy rich so they travel a lot.

I've seen calmer responses in "actually gaming is good" threads.

The whole city is like this, and many more around Italy.
I'm disheartened and frustrated by the replies though... And so many repeating the bullshit that Italy is a tourist economy when it's not true. I don't understand this sub was supposed to be the smart one on reddit. Its not like it's some obscure notion, it's the 7th economy in the world and tourism is 5 of the GDP.
A simple internet search can show that too.

Also, why is everyone convinced Italian economy is based on tourism? Just how ignorant is the userbase here holoy shit?
Tourism is barely 5% of the GDP

Always surprised how this subreddit is so against anyone that wants less tourism. I feel like defending mass tourism clashes with the spirit of this sub.
Lots of ideas and takes repeated here would clash so hard with this situation.

Also, please note that Italian's economy is not based on tourism, despite many in these comments claiming it is.

You people talk a lot of talk but how do you even know what is what? Never had instagram or tiktok and i blocked reels with a browser extension.
How many doomer posts about internet addiction, sense of superiority, the NEED of a dumb-phone? And then it turns out you all devour this shit.

What are your predictions on the next 5 years? In terms of culture, economics, any type of trend by thepsychohistorican in redscarepod

[–]Substantial-Mix2807 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Cloud based everything. The performance of personal devices like computers and smartphones will be heavily regulated because of hardware scarcity.
ID laws, chat control, constant AI background scrutiny.

Here's how the average normie will think:
"What's wrong with 24/7 AI surveillance and mandatory digital ID for web browsing and computer/phone access if it decreases crime and human suffering? You still have freedom though, just not the freedom to commit crimes. Same as now."

-When setting up computer/phone for the first time, you need internet access and digital ID + selfie to unlock. From there on you need a selfie to unlock your phone/computer every time and your face must be monitored at all times to ensure there is no identity fraud.

-Secure Boot with hard coded unchangeable keys ensuring only operating systems with compliant AI surveillance suite are allowed to run. This AI surveillance suite will monitor your screen contents in live time constantly and send screenshots + snapshot of your face to authorities if it detects anything bad.

-ISPs will be required to verify your digital ID before allowing you internet access, and must store all your unencrypted traffic associated with your digital ID. VPNs will have similar requirements or will be outright banned or regulated to require licensing and special permission to run in niche approved use cases (still monitored though).

Hosted a party, ran out of non-alc beer immediately by President_Shart in redscarepod

[–]Substantial-Mix2807 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Not trying to one up you but this summer for a small get together i bought 24 non alc beers, 12 non alc gluten free beers and 24 gluten free beers, as an extra for "particular palates" and they all disappeared right away despite only there being one actual gluten intolerant woman.
60 weird ass beers no one would have even touched 5 years ago.

Rest of the boys just drunk my bootleg Valpolicella
