this is ALSO why my top advice for younger people is:
Remember everything that happened during COVID lockdowns, during the Gaza War, etc. because we are twenty years out from tons of people trying to retcon these things to fit their agenda. Do not let them do that.

In 2003 I marched in protest with millions of other people to try to stop the Iraq war from starting. It was the biggest densest protest I've ever seen. I was in NYC and pop stars came out to play for the protest like it was a concert. It was a huge worldwide news story.
And now its just forgotten.

this take is likely gonna move across state lines, if not further. tragic level of theft here. please spread as far and wide as you can. GameCenter is as stand-up an arcade preservation group as they come and deserve comeuppance here.
KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

I'm going to need my fellow nerds to refrain from "oh here's how you fix it" or "you should use Linux" and instead focus on the fact that this is an anti-consumer practice and help raise hell over it.
this is really annoying man my tablet was purchased new in 2019. I spent 2000 dollars on It and it works perfectly fine. Why should anyone buy an expensive tech product that's going to brick in 6 years

Anything from cultivating a personal routine, interacting with strangers, managing frustration, all kinds of stuff that can be awkward to practice in other parts of your life. Getting into fighting games can give you a place to grind being a full human among people who are doing the same.

my most extreme political position is that everyone should have to spend at least 1 year of their working adult life without a car, in order to (1) teach empathy for pedestrians (2) acclimate to sharing public spaces (3) encourage walk/transit-oriented development (4) get people some damn exercise
i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
