    Houses are pretty great for a few factors

    • Not sharing a wall with a neighbor
    • being able to be louder in general
    • Not being woken up by neighbors
    • Not getting your home infested with bugs because of having a nasty neighbor
    • No loud honking at night
    • Not having your door accidentally knocked on to ask if your apartment neighbor is home when they’re not answering their door
    • Parking in your own garage
    • Having a yard for your dog/kids to play in

    Apartments fucking suck in so many ways. I get that they’re pretty handy in City Skylines where everyone bases their urban planning experience from but there is a reason people prefer to live in house and it’s because it gives you separation from other people in a way apartments cannot.


  • I enjoy Lex’s longform style but man he does nothing journalistic, which drives me crazy. He’ll ask a hard question but never pushes back on answer cause he’s concerned about being friends with everyone moreso than actually challenging someone’s PR answer that never exists in reality.

    When your topic is AI, and it’s at the forefront of national attention you’re pretty useless if you don’t have the stones to actually challenge these pie in the sky type answers the regulars give on his show.

    Altman “It’s going to make money useless and probably result in massive unemployment. But I think everyone should have some say in the development in AGI and how we handle it.”

    Lex “Wow that’s so noble. Anyways, do you think we can have AI friends someday.”

    Like you don’t have to be mean or rude but you gotta have the courage to press some of these guests on their bullshit.




  • No one on this planet currently had anything to do with any of this, we actually live in year 2023 where we know the consequences of those decisions so why the does that mean we can should make the same mistakes they made hundreds of years ago…they didn’t know any better, we do so we have to do better. Is that fair? No. Is that the hand we were dealt? Unfortunately yes.

    We can either whine and justify doing the same shit over and over or we can be better and utilize the knowledge we now have and a choose a more responsible route.

    Yeah it fucking sucks. Every response is political and hyper hostile, like damn I get it capitalism and the USA have caused some issues but man I am just asking about Taco Bell’s new menu item.

    Tried posting about an obscure issue with the latest Steam Deck update and oh my god 1) I was attacked for being wrong, Valve doesn’t make mistakes ever and 2) I don’t understand how dev pipelines work (I work in IT dev for a Fortune 100 company haha)

    Posted the same thing on Reddit and the response was like hey thanks for the heads up and then helped people affected by the issue get to resolution.

    Lemmy as a community truly is super fucking bitter and it sucks. Hope it changes, Fediverse is a cool idea and I am so down for a Reddit replacement but not if it is gonna be an asshole factory.
