I think the worst part is that most of us are adults. I can't imagine what it's gonna be like for kids growing up now. They'll never own anything. They're priced out. And not only that, they won't want to be like it. They'll be happy being sedated and in front of the screen all the time like AL1GN says, as that is all they know as cocomelon potato brains.

Personally still grinding away at with my remote corpo job, but starting to make small changes to shift to more cybersecurity stuff, which is refreshing after so many years of product engineering. Finally excited to learn again ..read more

oh nice.. Decades ago, when me and some friends did ameture movies, you'd be surprised how far you can get with airsoft guns, paint over the orange tips, and then apply some artistic metal highlighting(thanks games workshop) to get some decent looking, at least on video guns that look semi-realistic, or enough for prop usage on ultra-low budget movies ..read more

This thread is for parties and stuff that cater to the cyber crowd. There seems to be a bit of a resurgence going on. This one is in Berlin, this coming Friday (2023-11-17).
