Almost all of this goes for pretty much every other country, though...

I work in finance, so I know plenty of rich guys. Despite the stereotypes, many are pretty down to earth guys who just happened to luck out and be raised insanely interested in something very profitable. But the truly rich dudes, the CEOs and CIOs I worked with, are for the most part sociopaths

Undertale, but I want to go back to those times where I didn't know anything about it, not now that it's been memed to death. Playing it for the first time was such an experience back then.
Also, a boardgame: Settlers of Catan. Now I loathe the game, but back when I was being introduced to this hobby it was so good

Your opsec better be tight after saying something like that nowadays

Do my best to at least wash some clothes. My plans were cancelled

I guess movies would be a specific enough topic for me, but what I mean is people with a passion for, say, film noir shouldn't wait for film noir fans to show up on a thread, they should just create the content and hope the others find it.
I want to be clear that I'm not judging any "time waster" type of communities. It's fun to discuss random questions during downtime at work, it's just not where a strong community is formed. Reddit lives on through everything precisely because of the niche communities, not because of r/pics or something

I don't know, this kind of reasoning seems to create too much empty "content" and not enough real communities. Yeah, creating a bunch of generalist coms will get traffic and engagement, but the people there don't actually share anything in common, it's just a time waster.
I don't want Lemmy to be a time wasting app, I want it to have genuine communities with valuable content instead of endless AskReddit, AITA, AIO, etc etc etc. Therefore, I'm of the opinion that people should create communities about their hobbies and create high quality content there, which will drive demand. If the community ends up too specific, they can always just cross post to a more generic one as well.

Damn, are you a private banker or something? This is so many, especially CEOs

Yeah, seeing the kid die was awesome after he bragged about killing the dog hahahaha
Such a cool movie with great shots and coreography

[–] theblips@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Just watched John Wick last night. Pretty cool but honestly his motivation is kind of dumb. Yeah, the dog has great sentimental value but then you go and kill like 40 people and throw your life away? Maybe the point of the movie is that he never really got out of the life, indeed

It will just trigger a migraine if I'm not drinking like a 2:1 ratio of water to liquor

It seems so unnecessarily angry now
