It should be on a pivot so it always faces where youre pulling from

Also do you wish you had taped dat ass more when you were my age?

Heah, I guess for people in this day and age health span maximisation (not life span) should be the main goal.

I see. I just feel a bit bad because I’ve spent the past few years living with my parents, without friends, stressing over university yet failing. And I’m really tempted to just say stuff it, move cities and actually live. My life has been so defficient in adventure up to now. I just can’t help but think that university, careers, office jobs etc. can wait when the (biological) clock is ticking.

What would you do differently if you were young this time? Asking as a 21M.

The best pranks are the ones that people pull when they know they don’t risk revenge

This looks like it deserves my time, I will give it a read.

That’s true, and propaganda is probably enough to make people feel desparate

This is a well balanced response

How did they enshittify your country specifically? I want to compare it with how neoliberalism enshittified the UK.

I think for many people who feel desperate, everything starts to look like a zero-sum game.

This is a good observation

It often happens when a society’s prosperity decays

It will be interesting to see whether the far right rises in a country like Denmark, which afaik still has the definition of a well functioning social safety net.

This is an interesting observation

Does anyone remember before the 2015 crisis? That could plausably have been the trigger, at least in Europe. I don’t even know if the rise of social media needs to be roped in to this.

I wouldn’t be so pessimistic, the erosion of democracy is usually a relatively slow process. Poland went 8 years under its equivalent to NF and still managed to win its democracy back.

It feels like this is gonna be his David Cameron moment

But I still haven’t seen a definitive explanation of why so many voters are switching to far right parties, and how exactly they can be won back*. Because the far right parties sure aren’t going to solve their problems (although they do name them), and the center assume they just need to do more of the same but better, and that hasn’t and won’t work either.

It makes me wonder whether a) the whole system of parliamentary democracy has reached its limit and cannot logistically please its voters any more than now, or whether b) voters just have too high expectations/are too selfish.

*I imagine that some voters that have been sucked too deep down the propaganda hole, like those of Trump or Orbán, cannot be won back.

They shouod also introduce Phone a Friend where it remotely opens a debugger on the dev’s computer.
