Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?
  • I'm sure some middle class people can afford to go to burning man. But you're being wilfully ignorant if you think burning man isn't catered to the rich. It's almost purely a status symbol event. It's definitely where people go to show off their lavish wealth and take pictures for Instagram. I'm pretty sure if they took a survey 80%+ would be wealthy people.

    I'm middle class, and I'm spending a couple hundred dollars on my holiday this week, I almost can't fathom spending thousands living in a tent in a desert.

    But you're right, the middle class has been eroded. What was considered middle class in 1970 would be rich today. That's just because most people are worse off financially.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 "feels so alive" because it used mo-cap and 248 actors to bring its characters to life
  • It definitely depends on the game, I'm perfectly happy with a game that has a story to tell, and tells it well. Not everything needs to have branching options and 50+ hour playtime. Some of the best stories I've played are short and railroady, WaW and BO1 campaing's are fantastically interesting and you don't make a single choice in them.

  • It Took 23 Days for Lemmy Posts to Double from 1 Million to 2 Million
  • First you have to install the revanced manager onto your phone.

    Then uninstall the play store Reddit app if you still have it. And install a version of Reddit from here I believe you want a bundled version but it'll tell you if that's wrong when you try patch it with revanced.

    Finally open the revance manager and find Reddit, click the patches you want - it's quite limited still and you'll probably only want to select the remove ads patch but have a read, there might be 2 or 3 you want. If there's an error try downloading a slightly older Reddit apk.

  • What book had the greatest impact on your life, and which part of it is the most memorable for you?
  • Bit late to the party, but either Mortal Engines, the Young James Bond series, or Michelle Paver's Chroncal's of Ancient Darkness. They were all very engaging and transformative to a young me.

    I probably remember parts of Young James bond the best, there's parts about leeches that really stuck with me. I can still remember Mortal Engines as a whole in great detail, the concept and descriptions of the city chases are fantastic.

  • Donald Glover and Brother Stephen to Write ‘Lando’ Series at Disney+ as Justin Simien Exits
  • Atlanta is one of the slowest releasing shows I've ever seen, and it's so simple. 4 seasons in 7 years, god damn.

    Idk what Glover spends all his time doing, he left community early because he was so busy but has pretty much only released Atlanta, Solo and one album since 2010.

  • Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter
  • Hell, I've had a £100 phone for 3 years already and it's absolutely fine. I've noticed a little battery degregation but it still lasts a whole day. Plus a cheap batter change will make it last year's more. I can't understand why anyone would still sing those contracts for a new phone every 2 years.

  • Wagner could pose as migrants to enter EU, PM Morawiecki warns
  • And what would they do in Europe? Just give migrants a worse name? Because fighting wouldn't help anything and probably trigger article 5. Russia can't exactly claim they aren't affiliated with Wagner anymore.

  • The Witcher Season 3 [Spoilers]
  • I was half way through the third episode and it dawned on me that I just don't care. The story isn't engaging. There had been like 5 minutes of monster hunting which was the best bit. I like the main 4 actors but they're not doing anything with them.

    I might slog through a few more episodes but idk if I can be arsed finishing it.

  • People should be taught in school that humans are not that smart, and that there are many comparable species in intelligence.
  • Yes, a lot of humanity only cares about reproduction. But we've also elevated ourselves to creat art, science, music, etc.

    I can't know for sure what animals care about, but I can make an educated guess based on evidence and observations. Most animals haven't got past the "find food, survive, reproduce" mindset - at least not much more than that, maybe add entertainment to pass the time. There's documentation of dolphins getting high recreationally.

    Pretty much, some animals have other have a slightly varied goal set, but none are able to do anything close to our achievements. Which are mostly based around intelligence as we're not physically gifted.
