General Discussion / Re: Decluttering your home space
« Last post by KT 💣 KλBoƠM on Yesterday at 10:32:23 pm »
Covid :

Trained people not to go outside and not interact
Killed people
Broke families
Ended businesses
Bankrupted small businesses
Decreased the quality of healthcare permanently
Put us in a depression (economic)
Broke everyone’s habit cycle
And let’s be honest, changed the path of human history, kinda like events that happen every 400 years.


Not minimizing everything that happenned to you, just saying that the way humanity handled covid did way more than we think. And i am sure some of those things affect you in a way or another, even if you say you were already there.

Not that it did not affect me but that because of how I already lived it did not impact me as much as some who fell into a deep depression.

I was already living as a hermit and spent most of my social time online as it was. I was already practicing the medical habits due to already being immunosuppressed and the fact that masks and hand washing became more commonplace was easier on me.

But I do agree that health care has plummeted and is much worse than I have seen it in many aspects even though I have seen many of the things that have come to life even as far back as 2008. Just was pushed under the rug easier back then.

Family was the worst part. The divide. There was a very clear distinction in families between those pushing the shot and those opposed to it. It really brought out a different side in people at times as well if not on the fence but strongly on one side or the other. There was a lack of searching for truth and believing and pushing all that was told to you. There was also a lot of paranoia that led people to not be able to distinguish fact from "fake news" pushing cures that did not exist. So much confusion. It definitely became the Age of Confusion for sure.  Some family members outright cut off connections to some families due to their views and others called the rest sheep, putting them down and insulting them. Communication deteriorated. Clear lines were drawn in cases while gray lines widened.

And the ones who could not handle the breakdown of families and the separation of loved ones and the lack of hugs and time with them, especially those who live alone and depend on emotional help, fell into a downward spiral of depression that affected them long-term. For them, it was easier to fall out of strict practices of self-care and care of their environment and living space. A lot more people have fallen into clutter, disarray and chaos in their home and their lives. Financial goals had to be rearranged and many who lost loved ones ended up with their stuff and no energy to deal with it all.

For me, I already had too much stuff before Covid. That is why I don't blame Covid for my home space situation.  For others, it could be the main cause.

So.  To put this in a nutshell.  The new Google search AI thinks like a 10-year-old who's only source of information is Tic-Tok and Reddit?  Umm, no thanks.

Screw that.  If I had just come back from vacation and found someone else living in my house.  I'm gripping them up and throwing them the heck out.

I would rather play something that has a first-person perspective.  This top-down 3rd party view makes me feel a bit nauseous.

That is the list of the 10 worst offenders?  All still very popular games.  And that seems to suggest that there could be many, many more.

You know that if you have bit locker enabled on win10 and then try to disable it, it gives you a warning that data loss may happen.

Well, I saw an early access play thru a while back.  It looked interesting.
