I can also buy and sell console games 2nd hand though which isn't possible on PC anymore.

That said, PC piracy probably wins overall if you're looking the absolute cheapest option. But that's kind of a different set of arguments.

As someone that used to love OnePlus, what's the more recent equivalent?

I felt like around the 3 or so, I could get a flagship-ish phone for a reasonable price. Is there anything like that now?

For parts of the world 'free bank' and 'free transfers' are just the norm anyway. I'm amazed it isn't the case in the US already.

Yea, even with connecting flights I'm sure people miss the connection for various reasons with reasonable regularity

I go on reddit for the TeachingUK sub and for the rugbyunion sub.

If those communities existed here in any meaningful way then I'd be done with reddit properly at this point.

I don't think the solution to that problem though is having multiple, smaller, unconnected grids.

I think it's to just have a more resilient grid system that doesn't have any areas that are a single point of a failure

I think the Internet is partially to blame.

The negative stuff happening in the world seems to spread so much faster and get so much more publicity that it's easy to end up in a constant negative spiral

London currently has 73 MPs out of 650 (11.2%) when they have 9mil out of 67million people (13.2%).

So guess you're right that they'd get stronger representation.

However on the other hand, people like the Green party got 2.7% of the vote in 2019 while only getting 0.15% of the seats.

Some voices get stronger, but it's not just cities.

It makes my blood boil much more than it really ought to.

I've never seen the tree and have basically no connection to it. But just seems so senseless and destructive.

I've a friend with one that I want to try sometime!

Sure - but what do the attendees of a gaming conference have to do with new oil wells being approved?
