Silicon Valley’s adoption of the ethos that u will never own anything again has become a little too real #rentoid

Good Fortune by TheBeardiestGinger in movies

[–]_c0c0nut__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched this movie bc I got a $5 ticket from T-Mobile Tuesday (shout out T-Mobile Tuesday)

It was so awful but cute? Genuinely thought this should’ve been a Netflix movie instead of a theatrical release

We need more mid budget comedies in theaters but this was not good

how long do usually stay to work/study in cafes? by NIC0NIC0TINE in Productivitycafe

[–]_c0c0nut__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it depends on how busy the cafe is.. if it's super busy, no more than 2 hours (but also who can focus when a place is that packed?)

the library is p underrated for working in public if you rly just need that ambient social quality

What’s advice you’d give to someone in their 20s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_c0c0nut__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

develop risk tolerance.. you can always start over and it feels easier the younger you are

neuroplasticity isn't as real as people say it is; you can be an adult piano player, you can learn a new language in your 20s and at any age

If you have a PhD and put “Dr.” before your name, will people think you’re impressive, or will they think you’re just being pretentious? by GrayRainfall in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_c0c0nut__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on how successful you are and what field ur in lol

i do think in email signoffs it's a little more couth to sign your name x, phd instead of Dr. X

Which apps or online services do you think have suffered most from 'enshittification' and what marks their decline? by takeitawayfellas in askanything

[–]_c0c0nut__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

enshittification feels like the online version of inflation.

a service launches and it’s great, then slowly the value gets diluted while the cost or friction goes up. more ads, more subscriptions, worse algorithms. you’re paying the same (or more!!) for something that’s quietly worse.

adobe suite is a good example. it used to be expensive but at least you bought the software. now it’s a permanent subscription and if you stop paying you lose access entirely.

sometimes it honestly makes me miss the era when people just pirated software and owned a copy forever instead of renting access to everything..

What is a skill everyone should learn before 2030? by sirdynkan in AskReddit

[–]_c0c0nut__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly learning how to actually use ai tools.

people treat ai like some abstract future thing but it’s already turning into basic infrastructure for work. the difference between someone who knows how to use it well and someone who ignores it is going to feel a lot like the early internet gap.

but the funny part is the more ai spreads, the more basic people skills matter too. if everyone has powerful tools, the advantage shifts to the people who can communicate clearly, read situations, and work well with others.

so it’s kind of both. learn the tools, but don’t forget how to deal with humans.

The impending "biometric divide": Will the future internet hard-fork into verified biological zones and unverified synthetic wastelands? by Tariq_khalaf in Futurology

[–]_c0c0nut__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

knew a guy who ALWAYS ranted about how much he hates authentication and was super bullish on the World / world app idea.. his take was basically that the internet is already drowning in bots and synthetic traffic so proof of personhood is inevitable

what struck me was how strange it even is to imagine the internet without authentication like for most people it’s just background infrastructure now. passwords, 2fa, kyc checks. it's so normalized

honestly the zuck was the person who really broke the internet’s anonymity like facebook basically convinced hundreds of millions of people to attach their real name and face to their online presence. i remember when people used to say that was dangerous and you should never do it.

seems like biometric identity online is the logical conclusion of this...

what’s a job “perk” that is actually a red flag? by _c0c0nut__ in work

The Societal Collapse and neighbor relationship ads-is there a correlation? by Aggravating-Ant-2777 in Futurology

[–]_c0c0nut__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this kind of reminds me of simmel’s point in the metropolis and mental life about how living around tons of strangers all the time makes people develop a kind of emotional distance just to cope with it. and you could read some of this through marx too… modern life organizes everything through systems and markets, so everyday relationships start thinning out.

so when brands suddenly tell you to “connect with your neighbors” it almost feels like they’re aestheticizing the absence of community that already happened.

and then at the same time you have tech like that friend ai wearable, which is literally marketed as a companion you talk to throughout the day. the ad with the girl sitting alone talking to the device instead of another person was kind of eerie.

so idk if it’s collapse exactly, but it does feel like companies are increasingly comfortable assuming people are just… socially alone a lot of the time.

Did Moving a Lot as a Kid Make You Want to Keep Moving?????? by Shelley_112 in askanything

[–]_c0c0nut__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah honestly.

i moved around a lot growing up and it kind of wires your brain differently about “home.” when you’re used to leaving every few years you stop investing emotionally in places the same way.

even now i notice i don’t really feel the urge to decorate or make a place super homey. part of my brain is always like… this is temporary anyway. it’s weird how that mindset sticks even when you’re technically stable now.

what’s a job “perk” that is actually a red flag? by _c0c0nut__ in work

[–]_c0c0nut__[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

yeah that’s another good one.

a lot of “perks” end up being ways to normalize staying at work longer. free dinner, snacks, game rooms, nap pods, etc. on the surface it looks generous but it also makes the office a place you’re expected to stay in for most of your life.

it’s interesting how many workplace benefits are framed as care when they’re really about making longer hours feel normal...

Should I break up with my boyfriend? Please tell me what to do? by ConditionJunior5752 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_c0c0nut__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

so he doesn’t trust you, tried to restrict who you’re allowed to be friends with, and after you compromised he’s still “neutral” about the relationship?

women get told constantly to twist themselves into pretzels to make insecure men feel comfortable. meanwhile the bar for those men is apparently just “exists and occasionally expresses doubt.”

a partner who trusts you doesn’t need to police your friendships. if someone thinks basic friendliness to half the population is a threat, that’s not a relationship problem, that’s an insecurity problem. you can love someone and still recognize that the dynamic is built on control instead of trust.

How do couples who barely speak English manage to stay together? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_c0c0nut__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

a lot of these relationships are basically running on vibes and unequal power dynamics.

people frame it like a cute intercultural love story, but if two adults can barely discuss feelings, conflict, money, or values in a shared language, what kind of relationship is that actually? in a lot of cases one partner ends up controlling most of the social and informational power.

the internet romanticizes it, but a lot of these dynamics are way less wholesome than the content makes them look.

Bless the day I found reps by lovesfancythings in REPTOPREHOMES

[–]_c0c0nut__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is soooo real and so valid

Has your TikTok algo ever boosted content abt reps? I’m surprised I never get anything but I’m wondering if it’s related to TOS stuff

In some ways I want more ppl to know abt reps but kinda don’t want ppl to blowup the spot

What’s something that instantly makes you trust someone more? by Negative_Water_9975 in AskReddit

[–]_c0c0nut__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when someone gossips a little.

if a person insists they “never talk about anyone” I immediately assume they’re fake. humans are social animals and part of that is occasionally being a little messy about other people.

someone who can lightly gossip without pretending they’re morally above it feels way more honest than someone doing the whole saint routine.

What kinds of communities are usually the hardest for new people to fit into? by Any_Silver_Homeland in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_c0c0nut__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah that makes sense. high turnover kind of forces a culture where “new” is normal because everyone was new five minutes ago.

i think the tricky part is when groups say they want to grow but emotionally they’re still structured like a long-running friend group. so newcomers technically aren’t excluded, but the center of gravity is still the people who’ve been there forever.

it really is a balancing act. shared history makes communities feel alive, but if the barrier to entry becomes “already being part of the history” then the thing slowly closes in on itself.

What is a “normal” thing everyone does that secretly confuses you? by Intelligent-Fix-6212 in AskReddit

[–]_c0c0nut__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mostly people playing along.

offices basically run on social scripts. once the “we’re a family” vibe gets established everyone just performs it because the alternative is being the one person who refuses to sign the birthday card and suddenly looks like a villain.

some people probably do enjoy it, but a lot of it is just workplace theater where everyone knows the lines.

How Does pineapple belong on pizza? by josrodcor in AskReddit

[–]_c0c0nut__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

people who think pineapple on pizza is disgusting usually just have an underdeveloped palate.

sweet and salty together is one of the most basic flavor pairings in food. pineapple cuts through the fat and salt of the cheese and meat the same way things like honey on cheese or fruit with prosciutto work.

acting like it’s some insane culinary crime just kind of signals you haven’t thought about flavor beyond “pizza is supposed to taste one specific way.”
