Reddit never came up in daily conversation for me. It came up only occasionally, and it actually seemed to do so more often after it went public.

It was a weird coincidence

Was it “notoriously bad” or just lacklustre? That makes a difference! Lol

Video games. Retro video games. All of it.

Sure, we have Steam sales and those are still cheap. But physical games? Gone bonkers since covid.

This is the first time in the history of the world that current Gen consoles have gone UP in price. Games hardly go down in price anymore.

Retro games used to be cheap. Now everyone and their mother knows they’re not just old children’s toys, and think everything is a collectible. And these days, they might not even be wrong! Not to mention thrift stores and sometimes even garage salers are trying to charge eBay prices for everything they have.

I’m just holding onto digital games and Steam sales and such…and, well, piracy of course. (But storage is expensive too…)

Add me to the list of people who just learned that anybody takes their phone into the shower regularly.

From reading the comments though, it seems to be a mix of phone/stimulation-addicted people and people who aren’t. But I’m skeptical of those who claim they aren’t.

the real problem here is people taking their phones in the shower with them. gross. the thing covered in fecal matter, and all sorts of other germs/microbes?

Wait… why’s it a problem? You’re actually convincing me that taking it into the shower is a good thing because people can clean it off! Lol

We have fines and demerit points where I live, but they don’t seem to be enforced often. Our cops are too busy…uh, I don’t actually even know, but we sure pay them a lot (as an organization). Traffic enforcement seems to have gone down quite significantly in the past few years.

It’s like oreos. These are the “double stuff” smartphones, haha.

I like the idea that they’re called “double stuff” because they doubled the “stuff” in the middle, but couldn’t think of a better word to call it other than “stuff”

Same here! That’s exactly why I buy foldable phones!

What is the context of zero? What are you trying to learn?

Is it math? English? Social skills? Household maintenance? Sports trivia? A bachelor’s degree in a specific field?

It would make it easier to know how to answer if we knew more about you and your reasons for asking this. The advice for a 16-year old American boy heading out into “the real world” for the first time would be different from a 30-year old German woman who escaped a bad marriage where she was confined to the home.

What are your goals? That’ll decide what people would recommend you learn.
