  • I stream because i enjoy playing single player games and it’s nice having people to hang out with and share the experiences. I know I will never “hit it big”, I don’t have enough time to put in since I work full time. But I enjoy playing video games and it’s cool to make a little side cash on your hobby.

    The biggest toxicity in streaming is typically from yourself. Always watching your followers numbers and viewership, wondering what you did because one stream did worse than another. I find myself falling into that trap as well sometimes and it definitely makes wanting to stream again hard.


  • As someone who has lived in Indiana for 31 years, if you actually talk to people without mentioning R or D, a large percentage of their values like up with Democrats. But as soon as you compare that to democratic policies, they immediately go into excuses for why they’d never vote for a Democrat. Abortion is really the only Republican policy that they support, and even then a lot of them still support it “but not the way the Democrats do, up to the moment before birth”.

    The issue is that Democrats practically ignore us here so there’s no information campaigns to correct all the misinformation they get from Fox news and the like.

    It’s really frustrating going back to my rural bumfuck town and seeing all the legitimately good people who have been brainwashed into Republican support by friends and neighbors.








  • While fucked up, it’s disinguinuous suggest that the news is blowing up only due to the fact that they’re billionaires. While large boat disasters are fairly uncommon, how often do you hear of a submarine disaster. Especially one where the inhabitants are missing but potentially on a timer - trapped in a submarine with no way to open from the inside, many peoples ultimate fear. The story writes itself, pile on what seems to be a neglectful company and you’ve got a story people are going to be invested in. I don’t think the coverage or the search and rescue would be any different if it were a scientific submarine with scientists.
