I had to never turn my PS2 off or switch games because my mother didn’t understand the importance of a memory card. After the PS3 came out I had a used one that I got cheap but eventually ended up getting a PS3 myself instead of buying a second card.

Yeah makes me not want to watch anything on there. Wife was watching some true crime and I was so confused on why they kept saying essay (SA) and grape.

You are experiencing gender based persecution. Think of men who can’t be a stay at home dad, work as a nurse, or can’t show emotion, etc. Women who want to do construction work or STEM. LGBT and especially trans discrimination is also that taken to an extreme because the perceived gender divergence is more drastic. For whatever reason, there are many people in society who want to enforce strict artificial gender roles on other people.

My older sister was a grandmother at age 34. 30’s is literally grandparent age to my great nephew and great niece who are approaching their teens.

Being early adopters many people here are tech or autistic people. There are also a lot of conscientious people who left Reddit, so many people tend to be more introverted and reflective.

Always have been

Curious why you think that? Blue states no longer have any representation. Their representatives are blocked from even entering federal buildings through the public access. Their votes don’t matter. Nobody’s votes count for anything in blue states, and are unlikely to even be counted accurately in the future.

The fed isn’t even recognizing court orders. Education and most services, protections are being disassembled across the government. Energy grids weakened as wind and hydropower is being cut off.

People’s rights are being stripped away. Their tax money is being used against allies. Trade wars. Prices are going up. I can’t think of a reason for them to remain paying out more taxes than they receive into a hostile corrupt system they have no voice in, besides the military holding them hostage.

36 is almost 40? Don’t take almost half our 30’s away!

It could be a whole world or universe in there and we are making assumptions because he happened to be in a jungle with no transportation.

Yes they do match up where if you are talking about a female animal or person it’s a feminine word etc. For inanimate objects I’ve been told they aren’t necessarily giving or thinking of them as having a gender though, not like it would be in English.

There seems to be no standard way to address someone nonbinary, it’s even worse than in English. Best I know is to ask. Until then most simply skip the pronoun and use their name instead, or Sie. Since Sie is respectful and is already used for people of any gender when used formally.

The nonbinary category itself is often called “divers”. Nouns that reference gender can be combined by adding an asterisk in the middle. “Lehrer*in”. As a warning though some conservative and older people can get upset about the asterisk.

Do you know what level German you are at? My older relatives spoke German but passed away when I was young. I always regretted not learning it and being monolingual. So in my 30’s I decided I was just going to learn it even if it took years or I never fully got genders right. Now it’s been 15 months learning daily and am at the B1 level. So not an expert just intermediate with more to learn.

Yes I do feel like this. Sure there are things that I haven’t done, many involving money or skills that I don’t have.

But life feels like playing a video game that is procedurally generated. It’s minor variations of the same component things and sensations that I have felt before.

This is my biggest struggle with German. 3 genders and then plurals, cases etc that can change it again.

Ipods were extremely out of my price range as a teen in poverty. MDs were selling at deep discount, and the MP3 players in stores were 8-32 MB. And I wasn’t going to get money for the 32 if 8 was there and nobody around me understood the limitations of only holding 3 songs.

Honestly I forgot that iPods existed back then because the price was nowhere near realistic. It probably would have been preferable to MD though if money didn’t matter.

I had a MD player in 2004. I actually preferred it over MP3 at the time. With a similar priced MP3 player you could only fit a few songs, but with MD you could have several MDs and not have to keep overwriting songs. Both were rewritable if needed though. Both were filled the same way by being connected to a PC.

How do you feel about 2025 so far?

Sure but everything would be blocky and you would be stuck with villagers saying hmm all the time. Unless you decide to live alone with the lights always on so a creeper, enderman or zombie doesn’t get you.

My bad, what was the point? Laying here sick, with major brain fog, and haven’t slept. Just saying don’t think they are worried about losing majority in next election. Sorry if my post was a bit much or missed something. Probably should stop doomscrolling and get off here lol
