Videogames
Was spielen sie?
I am thinking about starting a new game in either Vintage Story (autistic minecraft clone started by an Austrian IIRC) and Workers and Resources which should need no introduction, it's the best city builder ever made.
I'm undecided on which, I already own both.
What if, purely hypocritically, one soldier who got transferred to a rear unit recently and got a vacation, chose not to return to his unit and just stayed living in his freshly renovated apartment treading carefully outside only early in the morning or late at night? Would it be feasible? Hypothetically of course.
This guy probably had no internet presence whatsoever. No images of his face, no mentions of his name. A ghost online. And now? His name is going to show up forever, with pictures of his face and mentions of his online history. Along with videos of his house and family and details of his living situation. Publicized to the masses and impossible to remove.
This is something from my nightmares and I experience severe paranoia at times thinking that I could get exposed and humiliated like this.
I found this post on Reddit. A substitute teacher, from Sweden, wrote about how technology is negatively impacting the youth and their ability to perform in school. Here's the original post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sweden/comments/112u7m5/kan_vi_prata_om_hur_den_digitala_v%C3%A4rlden_p%C3%A5verkar/
Rough translation:
> I have worked as a substitute teacher for over a year in middle schools and high schools. I am extremely concerned and in some cases shocked over how big of a difference there is compared to my own school years. I'm born in the mid 90s so I'm fully integrated into the digital world. The difference is I didn't have a smart phone or any social medias until I was in upper secondary school.> * Students today (especially boys) have an awfully hard time concentrating. Many students (including those without a diagnosis) can't even do the simplest of tasks without being directly instructed by the teacher. If a math task takes more than 15 seconds, they need to take a phone break after 7 seconds (not an exaggeration). I've had high school students that can't handle reading 1/3 of an A4 paper with instructions, and these are students without a learning disorder.> * It's not unusual to have students that are completely disconnected from social life. I've had several students with autism (in multiple schools) that are allowed to sit with their laptops and headphones during class. And during recess. And during briefings, basically the entire day. These students are so fragile that they can't handle the social pressure of sitting in a classroom without a screen in front of them. Yes, autistic students have always existed - but back in the day there was no digital world to escape to. I have no idea how these students will be able to handle an adult life.> * Nowadays there are truants in basically every other class. Normal male (usually) students that simply can't handle the pressure of school and instead live their digital lives at home.> I'm not an expert in this field and don't have a relevant degree. But something is very wrong here. The only solution I can think of is some kind of nuclear strike approach:> * Ban smartphones in all schools (translation note: he's specially referring "grundskola", there isn't a good translation for the word that I know of, but basically he means until you're 15-16)> * Remove student laptops/Chromebooks. Have computer labs instead (students in 8th and 9th grade can have laptops)> * Remove all games/social media that exist on wifi (there are dozens of blocklists online)> Needed to get this off my chest, something is extremely wrong with the current system.
Additional comment from OP:
> Many high school students can barely write complete sentences in Swedish without rough grammatical errors and English loan words. Internet usage has without a doubt negatively impacted Swedish proficiency among students.
Other users in the comment section also paint a dire situation:
> Us 90s kids played Counter-Strike all day on our personal computers in upper secondary school and we still managed because we understood it was just a game/not reality.> Nowadays it feels totally hopeless when they are so connected to the digital world that they forget reality exists. I have a cousin that is almost 18 that doesn't have any diagnosis but has spent every day for the past 5 years at home. She blames this on her being "depressed" (despite the fact that doctors have said that she isn't, it's just an excuse that works). Her parents won't do anything about it because she gets mad if she doesn't get to sit in front of the computer 20 hours a day, and she hasn't even begun attending upper secondary school.

I know many people do not understand this example.
Do you know the experiment where a capacitor charged with 10 kV suddenly has 20 kV when the plate distance increases?
Many people don't understand that either.

It's obvious that water pressure decreases.
It's also obvious that storm clouds paired with usually wet ground and humid air are very huge capacitors and their voltages are incomprehensible.
I am so fucking enraged I can't smoke my METH

it's a flow state of instant connection in the brain coupled with the feedback on my fingers as they wander the keys into making my lips curl upwards like a banana when it grows towards the sun or a penis as it bends upwards when it sees a picture of your mom
I couldn't imagine having to deal with khohols and other subhumans insulting me when I'm on a desktop like a wageslave. I look at their posts as I'm laying in bed on my phone and think "haha" like you do when a toddler is throwing a tantrum in the supermarket

I've been here for so long that there's literally nothing than can insult me, and I feel that the general vibe of this place has also shifted towards that direction. There're no really heated discussions anymore.

Like seriously, Bernds in the early 2010s were devoted to their beliefs, had actual weird hobbies (or issues) and were much more emotional in their writing. Now it's just bland, but that's good because this place has become much more comforting.
With a little digging I managed to find out what happened with ebinlauta.org. Domain was suspended. Also managed to piece together when it was last online - appears to have died at some point between January and February 2025, making it (probably) the first image board death of 2025. It wasn't around long, I think it came online June 2024.

Marc sounds like a wannabe French gay faggot who sits on a wine bottle after he empties it in his tiny studio apartment where he reads pretentious beatnik shit and masturbates to trannies.

I thought it was some northern German thing hijacked by hitlere Munich centred leadership of the nazis? You mean to tell me Austrian catholics thought they were blue eyed blond aryans? Ohnonono
I am from Central Europe and I know someone who said his grandma lives in Chechnya. I was shocked hearing this, because I thought we were same ethnicity

man, this is the most pathetic cope i've read today.
and if idea of ukraine/ruthenians/etc. were as "fake" as you wrote, it wouldn't have persevered as an idea for hundreds of years, as well as today. you can insult and deny the struggle of the people in whatever way you want on the internet, only karma shall punish you, but that wriggling of a worm won't change the facts and the reality.
