@npub1uxm…ujtm Oh wow... what a mindset to have. I wonder where these differences stem from?

@npub1uxm…ujtm That image does look nice. I wish we had more wholesome foods to take on the go. I need to figure this one out.

@npub1wc2…4sk7 Sure, but it's not the same thing as getting around it at home on your computer. I get there is some motivation to do it. But I don't think it is as widespread as thought. Unless you are really into the internet, programming or something.

Nice anecdote how children will get around limits on their internet access... but most children aren't doing this so it works as a general rule. The exceptions would need a different approach.

One of the nice things about having sushi as a treat or luxury is that it doesn't feel like junk food. Japanese food tastes pretty wholesome here. But that might just be because I don't know what their junk food is.

"i remember back in the day when i was a little kid and my granny would be watching soap operas like days of our lives or bold and the beautiful, whenever a scene came up where there was a kiss on the lips or a romantic scene, she'd say "sies" ( slang word in south africa for gross/disgusting) and change the channel. after a min or so she would change back to watching her show. Thats the differnece between those days and nowadays. People had respect for themselves and what they watched and wanted to see. Now we just have porn thrown in our faces all over social media, on tv, in music in gaming and all these whack ideaologies."
Interesting mindset. That kissing would be seen as gross.

@npub16fs…xw8z I think he still has some good takes even if he is less edgy when he conveys them.

I think the parents of white students basically gave up on education, outsourced it to the schools/state and then let their children play outside of it whereas this doesn't really stop for asian students. Especially when their afterschool activities are academic and they use apps and things when they need a boost. Good luck being aware of or getting this type of support in studies in a western white household.

@npub1k03…gt4d I think you'd find this video essay (And channel) to be interesting. Worth a watch at some point, even though youtube is strangling the link above right now.

There is so much to digest in this video about how the city impacts us. Probably worth re-watching at a later time.
Interesting how humility seems to be the answer drawn for how to deal with this problem.

@npub1gdf…hx6t Damn... I didn't realise just how involved these people are for things like this. Handing out cookies... lmao.

@npub1wah…xc8t @npub1gdf…hx6t That doesn't sound too bad... lol. But I don't know why she says this and I don't think she is much better from what the letter describes.

@npub1gdf…hx6t I didn't even know who she was. I don't even know if this is good or bad news...

@npub1y6c…27jj @npub1tug…8u2k That's just how the algo works. If you have ever clicked a video with them in, then the algo thinks that you want to see more content like that and filters that to you. Keeps people in a bubble. I love seeing political videos when I just want to listen to music though...

@npub13d5…jhcn @npub1k0h…xygc @npub18me…xtr3 @npub1gdf…hx6t @npub1pfr…6222 Now that Disney has taken over, I think that I've reached that point of apathy except when I find their decisions to be hilarious. I'm enjoying the ride to see Disney's downfall and see how much money they can waste or see what becomes of the civil war behind the scenes. They drove out their talent and it shows.
I think I'm also at this point where I only recognise the first 6 films and that is all Star Wars is to me. The rest of it is fanfiction. If the original creator of Star Wars wasn't involved then it is hard for me to count it as canon. Better to look at it that way. Hopefully people will see it that way for my own work too. I think there is also such a thing as having too much content and we have reached that point. They have exhausted the universe and much of it is crap.

It's still funny when someone emphasises the contribution that Indians made for Britain during WWII... like, mate, we were literally getting bombed at that point. No one is thinking about that. It's always the contributions of people from other countries. Just think about how many people lost their lives to being bombed or because something at a factory blew up while contributing weapons for the war effort. That last one got less coverage at the time in case it dampened spirits during the war. Many people, even women and I think children lost their lives then. Or think about the many lives lost during training before they landed for D-Day.

@npub1gdf…hx6t It's gonna be like WWII, if we are getting bombed then it will be seen as a duty. If we aren't then fewer people will apply. I think with the numbers of the native population being so low, we'd be fools to apply. The state kicked themselves with this one by alienating the local population. But then again, when haven't they done this?
