Non-American here.
I don’t dislike America. I was a teenager in the ‘90s, when the culture was peaking in influence here in the UK, so I have great nostalgia for American things (which really helps when playing the daily NYT games). I’ve visited a few times, and always enjoyed my time there.
But I am real fucking tired of the American influence on the internet, on politics, and on attitudes around the world.
I’m tired of the American view being the default on social media, because the majority of social media sites are American, populated by Americans.
I’m tired of saying something that would completely uncontroversial outside the US that attracts a rash of people bitching at you because it’s not normal over there. Like letting our cats outside. I once said something on Reddit about my cat getting killed by a car, and got a bunch of replies from people telling me how irresponsible I am for letting her go outside.
I don’t use TikTok, but my wife does, and part of her kinda wants the US ban to go ahead, so that her feed is a bit more balanced towards Europe. And I get that.
:edit: I accept that this isn’t the fault of individual Americans, and hold no ill-will towards them. It’s down to the vast majority of global tech wealth being held in the US, giving the illusion that the whole internet is an American thing.
I also accept that this is rank hypocrisy coming from a Brit. If we’d had the internet 250 years ago, the whole world would be speaking English now, as opposed to most of it.
The easiest way to find coppers is to get naked on the high street.
Folks ITT
This here. The One True GIF.
If Brent Rambo approves, we do.
Oh yeah, I feel your pain.
Charlie has an excellent face. Can you tell him that for me please?
I don’t think the seal on those pads is sufficient for Kitty to be getting the full impact of the bass.
Bluetooth, while being perfectly adequate, does need to compress/encode the audio. As a result, wired does sound better, though it only really makes a difference if you’ve got headphones where you might notice it.
That thread is still magnificent.
Some very dedicated modders have managed to squeeze bluetooth into their Classics. Personally, I think that undoes the point of having one of the best sounding DAPs, but all power to them for adding some versatility.
And flashmodding a classic iPod can give you 500gb of storage, if you want.
Put this outside a good number of pubs in the UK and you’ll make an absolute killing. It would have to offer a £1 toastie, of course, but the principle is the same.
Louis Rossman’s recent video on this is good.
And yeah, my Plex server doesn’t fuck me about the way the streaming services do.
An exceptionally Good Boy, by the look of him.
Oh, can you use Plex as a DVR then?
Oh Christ. It’s been a while since a meme spoke to me quite so clearly.
He’s just found gold, so he’s going through a range of emotions.
