If you could regulate something relatively inconsequential, what would it be?
  • I think all food packaging should be standardized and reusable, with a deposit system similar to reusable glass drink bottles (at least in Germany).

    For instance: All the cereals should use the same returnable 'cereal box'

  • Earbuds
  • I mean, all the phones I've ever had (including my current Samsung A52 from a couple years back) have a headphone jack, but I haven't used anything wired in around 6 years.

    I just find Bluetooth to be much more convenient and a nicer experience. I even bought a Bluetooth adapter for my desktop so I could use the same headphones there.

    Not to mention, I just looked and there are plenty of phones with 3.5 mm jacks on the market, so it looks like the option is still out there for those that prioritize such a feature.

  • Has anyone ever been to a political candidate rally? What was it like?
  • The democrats tend to be less organized but way more friendly and accommodating, the republicans are very their way or the highway, but tend to have all their ducks in a row.

    This is the most believable thing I've ever heard.

  • Married people, where do you land?
  • It's mostly the "hobby" bit, which implies that this is one of your favorite, regular free-time activities. If you are someone who smokes weed a few times a year in social situations, that is a different situation.

    A lot of people would find it difficult to be around someone who spends their time smoking unless they are really into it too. The smell especially can be really grating/annoying, and the person smoking often doesn't realize because they have become smell-blind over time (similar to tobacco smokers).

  • TikTok likely helped far right in elections: researchers – DW – 09/02/2024
  • You are right on those points, but it's always easier to police/regulate local corporations than foreign ones since you have more tools at your disposal.

    With foreign networks, you can only really levy fines and ultimately threaten to ban them from the country.

  • This Year's Gamescom Showed Us A Ton of Devs Care About Steam Deck Support - SteamDeckHQ
  • Yeah, I played through the whole thing on my steam deck and it was mostly a great experience.

    The last act was, performance wise, pretty rough though. Maybe there was some setting I could have changed to make it smoother, but the framerate was only about half what I got during the other acts.

  • PlayStation’s ‘Concord’ Did Not Break 700 Players On Steam On Launch Day
  • It's really good if you are into moba-type gameplay.

    Some people will compare it to something like overwatch, but it's really closer to Dota 2 with shooter combat. It's a cool mix of map-control/strategic elements of Dota with more twitchy aspects of arena-ish shooters.

    I've really enjoyed it, but then again my two most played games of all time are dota and tf2.

  • Reading habits in Europe
  • It can vary depending on the context, but essentially it just means that you can only read/write at a fairly basic level.

    For instance, imagine someone who reads at a 4th grade reading level. They can get through basic aspects of life, but get totally lost/overwhelmed if they are presented with anything more complex. For instance, they wouldn't be able to comprehend most official letters. (Thus is especially an issue in Germany since Amtsdeutsch seemingly tries to be intentionally complex....)

    They are effectively locked out of most modern jobs, because they can't parse emails effectively or formulate a fitting reply.

    It's also something that people are generally very self-conscious about and get pretty good at hiding.
