Yes, one of the rules is to never confuse Cyberpunk with Cybergoth. It’s mildly acceptable to conflate it with gravers (Goth Ravers), but not if you want to make friends.

We live in society. There are rules.

Nobody has more rules than hyper niche cliques. If your locks had foam, you were very clearly deeply wrong about the actual deep meaning of whatever we imagined ourselves to be about and you’re doing everything wrong.

You might be hard pressed to find any cybergoths in the wild, though looking at current fashion, maybe I should dig up some stuff.

Let’s not discard my Cybergoth phase. I had plenty of colours, as long as they were neon

But the pan is really just a hot place to put parchment paper, so who cares.

Husband hit stage 3 when he was 16, and is still there nearing 40.

Well, The Netherlands, so yeah, pretty much.

practically

Ahhh, art students trying to be practical.

Oh no, my cat immediately starts apology purring and licking if she bites or scratches during playtime.

“Lets play until I go too far and then feel bad!”

And lets not forget, by buying it from NVIDIA, they enable higher profits, which generates money that NVIDIA can invest into OpenAI to buy more stuff from NVIDIA.

And also, if you’re going to soon have more stuff, you can take a loan on those assets that you will soon own to buy more assets that you will soon own!

That has to be a joke

I’m not doubting your experience, but I’m curious about the paw damage from scratching? What does that look like?

She would use the scratching posts (that we had to have for the other cat) with her paws, would just break her skin. For the limp, the vet set it was likely nerve pain.

I had declawed rescue kitty and she had difficulty walking because of it. It also didn’t stop her from scratching stuff, so she damaged her paws frequently.

She was also VERY bitey until we had the time to properly train her (which, you know, they could have done instead of declawing, she was a pretty smart cat)

replacing the functions of the system so it doesn’t matter if it collapses or not.

That’s what preppers do too. Providing their own food, water, shelter and security so that they’re not reliant on the system. Hosting your media is really just stockpiling entertainment, like someone else might stockpile food.

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to do, and it might even be useful in some events.

is this resistance?

It’s doomsday prepping. It’s the IT equivalent of keeping 17 guns in your cottage with your buckets of food.

Useful in some highly specific cases, pointless in most. But if you enjoy doing it, there’s no harm.

time is the one resource Big Tech steals that we can’t ever get back.

That’s an odd argument, since DIY takes significantly more time than just buying a solution.

By… Stepping outside and talking to people? I think all neighborhoods have that ability, even if we don’t really use it much.

Because you, and everyone, is in a huge bubble.

Normal people don’t give a shit where stuff is hosted, or if it’s hosted at all. The vast majority of people couldn’t care less what happens to their catpics if their phone gets crushed and they don’t want to use a separate messaging platform just to talk to you.

The things you think are important absolutely don’t matter to them. Most people don’t give a single second of thought to where their documents should live, and will just download it again on a second device instead of synchronizing anything.

It’s really nice that these things exist, but why would someone do anything with them if they literally don’t have a purpose for it?

Joke’s on you, my country is tiny, so I can just visit them frequently anyway

Depending on your reading of the bible, and how you interpret Jesus saying he didn’t change the old testament law, anywhere between zero and all of them.

But as stupid as biblical reasons for murder may be, they’re not quite this heinous.

Also, your buddy told the trolleydriver to drive off.
