“mainstream users” ? Wut

The country? No lol

Boycott Nintendo

Jesus

Imo, the idea of it doesn’t match the reality, which is a very virtual one. Intrinsically, it’s a lot to bet on when real life offers more.

VR today also forces the first person perspective. For some that can cause nausea, and for others they get fatigued quickly.

I think there’s potential but from what I’ve seen a lot of hokey options mixed with a limited market in a limited supply due to price just won’t foster anything organic.

So, this is the direction we’re headed. Why is it news when a company does it?

I thought Uber said they would leave altogether if they passed that law. If the mayor didn’t veto then wouldn’t that lead to a lot of job loss?

I don’t see the value of space stuff right now and don’t understand why humanity has a hard on for it so much.

Eventually, yes. For now, I’d prefer a focus on world peace and fixing the climate.

THEN, once humanity is standing strong and our own earth is taken care of, move on to space.

Counterarguments will not take into account the (im)practicality of space faring and what it can offer to our species. Sure, some of us may colonize mars eventually, but the billions on earth will still be on earth. And the earth is worth salvaging and in a much better place to salvage than fucking mars.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t have research into space, just that we should temper the investment to match the return we get, for now. Going to the moon is not an example of tempered investing. Of course, that said, I don’t blame India for doing it. I just personally find it impractical and ineffective.

Screw the Olympics anyway.

Come now…

How fast is it flashing? Unless it’s flashing more than 5 times per second I doubt there is a meaningful seizure risk.

I don’t see how a sign on top of a building would cause a car crash.

I agree the light pollution is annoying, but hyperbole about its effects isn’t helpful.

The quote is totally messed up for sure. What annoys me as well is that image is not even from that scene or the same person. Doesn’t it come from the “inconceivable” poison cup scene?

For sure. The key to getting into budgeting is to base your budget off current spending rather than desired spending.

Setting a goal to budget and cut spending at the same time conflates the budgeting with “I can’t spend money anymore” feeling, and adds a hugely unnecessary, negative connotation to it.

I think making a budget for bad habits is a great thing. Better to know and be aware than not be.

I have a budget for weed and alcohol, like I do for everything else. I also have a budget for savings, charity, portfolio contributions, gifts, retirement contributions, emergency fund, and other “good” things.

Being a human is hard, no need to disparage an “unnecessary” pleasure budget.

I would TL;DR your post with really the idea that you must save and avoid debt. However you do it, budget or not, spending money or not, does not matter. You can be super frugal and save, or not be super frugal. You must save, though.

You actually gloss over saving and focus on budget, when really I see the budget as a means to the end of controlling your spending so that you can save.

If saving was not the ultimate goal, there really is no reason to budget in the first place.

All that said, I agree with a lot of what you’re saying. We’ve been using YNAB for about 5 yrs now and it’s been wonderful.

Does wefwef (voyager) support kbin? It sounds like that’s what you are implying, just want to make sure I’m not misunderstanding.

If so, I may make a kbin account and see how that works. Mostly I am looking for a familiar “post/subscribe into categorical communities” solution with no extra fluff. That’s why I like Lemmy, but I haven’t looked into kbin at all, in truth.
