World of Warcraft font and quest mark! The Forsaken keep forgetting they’re not supposed to eat people.

Yeah, that checks out, I usually notice a 10-20 years “cultural” gap. Personal anecdote: watching The Sopranos in 2020s still felt like the topics in russian media and culture are just starting to catch up, before that no one really talked about depression as a disorder, and people taking ADs were seen as “crazy”.

I had a job developing software for datacenter machines’ hardware and software health. And the most common automatic repair that we had was escalating 1. reboot; 2. reinstall OS; 3. check hardware. I know it’s different but it was fun to see it “first-hand”.

And also, “to create Linux problems, be root” works as well.

I’m not so sure but I think back THEN there were less captivating PC games as well. My perspective is from the early 00s Russia, when you had to deal with pirated games, unbelievably slow Internet, funny videos shared between friends on CDs, going with a hard drive to a friend’s house just to share your music collection, etc. Basically, we had to know how to do this kind of stuff because the alternative was so expensive. Now with LLMs you don’t even have to “google” anymore, so there’s no need to know, for example, what a file extension is.

I think one of the reasons is that MacOS didn’t really have any games back then, so there was no reason for a kid to be glued to their computer. And if you use something for a long time, you collect problems and ways to solve them, getting the experience and some technical knowledge along the way.

Probably a spelling mistake from an English native speaker. Because of how the transliteration Zelenskiy (or Zelensky) is sometimes read.

oh hai

Here’s for anyone looking for the actual video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stlj_OoVnmY

it honestly feels like a psyop at this point. in russia there was a particular focus on making people “apolitical”, which is a different direction but still was focused on reducing opposition turnout.

Some Americans will justify not voting by using Palestine as an example. Well, yeah, your dems suck too but it’s not a reason to not take action. Voting is easy enough, and at least it really works. Fantasizing about the Revolution won’t do shit.

“Hitler” = “argument lost”

Yes, both sides are “evil”. Your country is fucked up, and I’m getting shit in this thread because I’m seemingly a liberal and a US dem party supporter (кринж). Fix your country, be it by voting, revolution, economic collapse, whatever. But if you choose to argue on the Internet and do nothing, the party “genocide and more” will win instead of just “genocide”. Слава Украине, Free Palestine. А местные долбоёбы, которые ртшные помойки репостят, пусть дрищут неделю за каждый пост.

Is everyone here from the US? Am I lost?

no u

dude, I’m not reading all of that. and what do you mean by “people like you”?

Not mine, I’m not from the US. That’s another reason why I’m honestly asking and not just trolling.

By not participating you’re letting others win.

And how? I’m honestly curious. I’m not saying voting is perfect, but at least it’s better than doing nothing and letting the worse evil win.

oh brother, I wish. I’m from a country with only one party. just wishing that US will vote out their shitheads. yeah, I understand that they suck too, honestly, but let’s be real for a second. last time everyone boycotted harris we got THIS, was it worth it after all?
