It certainly is synergistic though I also think it has to do with being at the right place at the right time. New technology, new industry, new ideas - pure excitement for all involved. I feel as the industry ages out the "fresh new e

> I write all my code in Rust because I am a Rustacean. Why is Rust the only language to have literal acolytes? It's as if people believe they are part of some collective computer religion ushering in the messiah. Weird, man.

My friend does have some mental issues. Some of these tedious games really suck them in and it becomes personal when things go wrong and it can trigger an episode. For my friend he almost smashed his PC but instead left the house, went to a

I gave up on streaming few years ago. I had both Netflix and Hulu which were fun for a few years but it gradually felt like it got worse. It got to the point where I would catch myself scrolling past one uninteresting show after another for

IMO the last real war the US participated in and helped to win was WW2 giving it a massive ego. And even then it was drawn in via Pearl Harbor. After that it was a bunch of "wars" it fabricated to satisfy its ego with various (oft
