It's very strange to me. I live in Sweden, we barely shut things down, no masks etc things went about as well as other places that did do masms and we're now looking like we're doing better in some respects (e.g. education)

We fucked up at the start of it all with care home rules not being strict enough but otherwise all good.

Pretty certain most masks just stop you spreading something and don't protect you. So they're asking a valid question. They only work en masse.

Your shyness is a choice, just start saying yes to things that scare you and it will get easier.

The moment I worked that out life got a lot better for me. I figured it out not too far past 18 but I wonder what relationship I would have with my hometown if I figured it out sooner.

Suddenly I'm far less enthusiastic. Much prefer the idea of Max plus a bunch of sim racers turned real life.

So many people said this whole situation wouldn't end Reddit, like the end of Reddit would be some big huge sudden bang when the apps turned off.

They couldn't seem to grasp the idea that it could be the end of the Reddit we knew with a huge injection of new users to potential replacements. Only time will tell.

100%, hours of frustration trying to sort out studen loans means that font + colour + box is incredibly recognisable

Quite recently. My husband kept asking me to Ren as he's from the same town as me but I knew it was a bit rappy and rap is not my thing.

Turns out Ren is great and some rap is maybe alright so that surprised me.

Tell them more and more companies are moving to Whatsapp for marketing and Meta are doing more and more to make it easier and more annoying. Or maybe the spam will start and they will move themselves

Goes to show how difficult it can be for teams to build good products when there's a million stakeholders involved vs one stakeholder (plus users). It can be done of course, but only if managed well. Which Reddit obviously didn't.

If you want to end up hating your friends - The Resistance. I love it but it definitely is not for everyone.

Does Bill Gates count as a tech bro as he's the only exception I can think of.

To succeed in tech I guess you have to have some ego, but they really do seem to be overwhelmingly children about everything.

Didn't the people living there want to stay part of the UK?

Ultimately that should be what decides it in all situations really, not stuff that happened in the past.
