  • How do we get the average person to care about this? Like okay, as dumb as I am with tech, I probably am more techy than the average layman.

    And guess what, they do NOT care about this shit. Most of my non-tech friends still think GrapheneOS is a thing criminals or paranoid schizophrenics use.

    They also tend to not care about age verification things. “So what, you show ID at the bar or store to get alcohol, what do I care?”

    Like really gamers, how can we make the common person care about this at all? How can we communicate to them it matters and will impact them?



  • Man, I remember when I was 23, good times! Yeah, gonna be real things like work, school, and all that productive stuff won’t make you feel stable. I spent a lot of my time wondering about that phrase that happiness is what you make of it.

    When I was like 19, I felt I had no path forward and my dumbass served 6 years in the US Army. I had a near death experience in Iraq when I got fucking blown up and you know what went through my head? Was it the incredible team meetings when I was an NCO, the great grades I had in school, the awesome days of work when I got a lot done? No, it was the time I spent with friends, getting so drunk I passed out in a field, going to gaming tournaments, bowling, and all that. So what’s gonna matter in the end isn’t going to be anythong ‘productive’ at all.

    Work and school are oh so much fucking applesauce. And hell, making more friends does help with jobs. I got my job now, as a civilian, because of the friendships I made in the Army.

    …I feel like I old man rambled. Yeah, get out there and make friends. Literally just talk to people. Out of nowhere. Hell yeah.

    This is a good start, but I feel we can expand it.

    “What meme do you detest most?”

    “This meme.”

    “How contrarian.”

    “I care not for pithy virtues or vices. I simply wish for entertainment.”

    “Your inability to introspect will drown you in an ocean of indifference.”

    But yeah, overall good meme. Good out of ten.
