Hopefully we come full circle back to game lobbies. Game lobbies and fixed servers were the micro communities this article is dancing around. It worked remarkably well in the early days. I know I certainly miss it

I think to OPs point, we keep hearing that same line and I've never once seen a productionalized version of these

It's interesting that we're so afraid of cancelling projects because it's seen as wasteful...and yet deeper we march into the swamp.

New comment by homeonthemtn in "Olympic Committee bars transgender athletes from women’s events"

Right but why not a specific carve out instead of a loop hole? If it's called "men's" the intention is clear.

If it's called "mixed league" the intention is clear

I always thought the more elegant approach to all of this was to add a mixed sex league. Keep the traditions, add a novel new one, and let people consent to who they want to compete against and watch

My friend, I assure you there was a lot of shitting at the beginning as well.

Was real stoked for them at first, ended up tossing the bag midway through

New comment by homeonthemtn in "Why Some Men Struggle to Keep Up with Friendships"

It's really hard to discuss this without making overly broad statements.

For my personal expense, I have found a lot of men view other men as competitors to be guarded against. You can't begin to work with the building blocks of trust and communication without getting past that first barrier. So we often just stop at the gate.

I think this is a carry over from the early 2000s boom and bust mindset. That if you jump in early enough on nearly any technology, you'll become a billionaire. So hop on board our burning platform!

In general, we as a society have not adjusted to technology. We've gone through to much change to have any stable base lines. So we're going to float in insanity for a while until things finally settle down. Probably 2 wars, a famine, and several periods of resource scarcity away still, but we'll get there one day...

There was never a demand for this, but a lot of paid hype being blasted into confused faces.
