Exactly my point, man.

Itâs easier to find good music within niche sub genres, and sites like Bandcamp put more power in the artistsâ hands.
Itâs easier to find tutorials or explanations about any kind of hobby you have or project you are undertaking.
Itâs also easier to find guides and walkthroughs for games. Imagine some of these [redacted] challenges without the internet! Anyone else old enough to remember physical game manuals? You ever try beating Myst without a guide? Hah, nobodyâs that smart.
But on the other hand⌠more Nazis. So basically the internetâs value has balanced out.

I will always be optimistic about the Internet. If you notice people are awful, the Internet probably just makes them visible and you learn there needs to be something done.
Dunno what though, it did not really improve it seems. Still, you can find well moderated places aside from big sites where the monetary interests is not the main priority. I hope yall come here because you like it here.

Iâm more cynical. Anonymity, including the pressures of views and popularity, can influence people to act in ways they normally wouldnât.

The eclipse has started here in New York!
We will get a max coverage of 89% around 3:30pm.
I am at work but I can easily step outside and there is a pretty good view from the street.
Pretty cool!

The radio station at my work decided to celebrate the eclipse by first playing Total Eclipse of the Heart, and then Blinded By the Light. I couldnât stop laughing.

Well I saw my first ever Total Eclipse! Pretty cool, I wasnât able to get glasses but Iâm so hardcore I looked at it with my eyes. And I didnât even go blind!

It was only a partial eclipse where I live but it was still neat to see.

It was super cloudy, overcast today so I couldnât even see the eclipse â the glasses didnât even work because there wasnât direct line if sight to the sun. 
(also I started my shift like 10 mins before the full event so I was stuck inside)
Ah well, at least it was cool to see it get really dark, the streetlamps turn on, then bright again.
And of course immediately after the sky cleared up completely and it was extremely bright outside⌠Ugh. Better luck in the next 100 years I guess

You should have offered up some Conservative Party members as a sacrifice to prolong it.

I did a health check up last week, the good news is that my X-Ray is better than last time, I only have a small spot left on my lung, and thankfully the infection hasnât regressed after coming off the anti-biotics. Iâm going back for another X-Ray in a month. The only bad part is that there is a possibility that if the spot is still there in my lung next time, it could mean that my lung has sustained small permanent damage. What that means exactly, Iâm not sure, guess a conversation for another time. But otherwise, it looks like the current illness saga is at an end at least.
The last 2 weeks Iâve gone back to working 5 days rather than just 3, roughly 25 hours a week, close to the 30+ I used to work. Honestly, I am struggling with it, I forgot how tiring it is to do 5 days in a row. It doesnât help that I am very bad at time management and working more means I struggle to plan out the rest of my week doing things I need to do, like clearing my house.
I have a 2 week holiday next month, I think after that I will be back on the job hunt again. Shame that job hunting is such a miserable experience, especially when you have no qualifications or skills, but I need to break out delivery driving at some point. Guess weâll see how that goes when that comes.

I saw that! Heâll still be part of the Oxventure and heâll still be on YouTube. I do wonder if theyâll find a replacement for him on OutsideXtra or just absorb Ellen into the main channel though.

Finally arrived!! phew
Dude took 2 weeks until he said it was shipped on the website, and even then ebay was saying it could arrive as late as April 17th.
And last night was the end of the digital version on sale for 16$.
So if this didnât work out or the package got lost in the mail (happened last time I bought from ebay) then Iâd have to wait 1.5 months for the digital sale or take another gamble online for a similar price. Thankfully itâs neither!

Iranians were frightened and sleepless for the night, with gas stations being flooded with cars (where you gonna flee with your ancient Peugeot mate?)
A direct attack on the Israeli side from Iranian soil, despite causing no critical damage, had never been done before and wonât be left unanswered.
No one under 40 can recall any memory from the last war (1980-1988 Saddam-Khomeini war) and this completes the puzzle in their abysmal life under the shadows of radical islamic oligarchs, directing the country into anarchy.

I mostly meant IDF will initiate a counter attack, but your point stands.
