     @meso coliving spaces were catching on even before all this, over ten years ago they were building them where I used to live. They really creeped me out because they're like college dorms. The uncharitable interpretation is there are a ton of young Americans that are not capable of living as functional independent adults. The charitable interpretation is that people want more urban lifestyle and don't want to take care of a house.
     
     I had a house and I got rid of it and live in an apartment now. If I had a family though I would try to get a house again. Having a house is a lot of work tbh

     @meso @coolboymew the ussr put multiple unrelated families in the same apartment. at least i read about this in moskow, it may have been related to the desirability of living in the capital city

     @coolboymew say what you will about commie blocks but at least you had your very own large apartment, there were never "rocketing housing prices", and there was never a shortage of them, and people who wanted to still lived in houses

     @meso I refuse to get an overly expensive apartment and having to live with random weirdo assholes to make it affordable. Almost all stories of people living with randos I've heard were completely negative

     @meso @coolboymew you VILL own nothing
     you VILL share a 10-square-meters studio apartment with 7 random people you know nothing about (the Happy Urban Housing™ Advanced Algorithm™ chose them for you)
     you VILL NOT have personal space nor family
     you VILL go out every night and CONSOOME because of said lack of personal space

     @usernameswift it's very easy to spot people that have no soul or principles, they never go at the root cause, they always go at some made up symptom of it. example: AI, liberals do it by instead of criticizing the societal problems that AI can cause, they say it has a racial bias or something and that's the only reason why it's bad. or crypto, environment is the only reason it's bad. or Twitter, Elon Musk being a meanie is the only reason it's bad. you remove these trivial elements and their argument falls apart. same with right wingers, you talk about something terrible and they're immediately like Oh yeah I'd hate living in the pod with BLACK People!!!! would be totally fine with living in the pod if it was with white people though

     @meso @usernameswift They are literally incapable of grasping any kind of complex thought and thus resort to "reasoning" only in soundbites and received narratives. Considering how many far righters are like this, there's a certain degree of irony in William Luther Pierce coining the best and most descriptive term for them (lemmings).

     @meso @usernameswift it's simple really, the notions of left and right wing were simply made up (or i guess i could say adopted for modern day politics) to group people up and make them infight over which senile pedophile is better, it's mostly a westoid thing too cuz i've rarely, if ever, heard the terms "left wing" or "right wing" in russia
     to the common man politics should be as simple as supporting whoever you think will allow you to keep living comfortably without any real trouble

     @meso @usernameswift and in addition, i'd say that outside of america, your best bet is to support anyone who's working towards independence from america, i guess ideally you'd want total independence, but these days small countries either get economically conquered or physically, so at the very least you can do your best to not allow the worse of the evils to do that to you, at least way things look right now

     @Moon @meso @coolboymew The communal living was primarily prompted by the lack of quarters. It is what happens when there are no landlords and the government owns and operates all of the housing. I know where it goes when someone on Fedi talks shit about landlords. Fuck those idiots.

     according to the description these have many living rooms but a shared kitchen and stuff (lived in one of these, not that fun), I meant the massive stereotypical commie blocks, those were made for a single family per apartment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communal_apartment

     @meso @Moon @coolboymew @zaitcev Actual good communal housing for urban residents is something that would have a lot of uptake for ppl who are close to that kind of disposition. But what the elites propose is less of that and more of a westernized khrushchyovka.

     @zaitcev @Moon @coolboymew >Most communal apartments were replaced after the death of Joseph Stalin with Khrushchyovkas, in which each family had their own private apartment. This was then followed by Brezhnevkas which were built taller, had larger apartments, and came with heretofore unavailable amenities such as elevators, interior bathrooms, garbage disposals and central heating systems. Today in Russia, Soviet-style apartment blocks are still built and are termed "Novostroika"; they are often painted colorfully and have all modern amenities.

     @meso @Moon @coolboymew @zaitcev My experience has been almost the complete opposite, rural SFH being a totally isolating and soul destroying thing, while I actually do relatively well in an urban apartment living with roommates. That being said, I think the happy medium is SFH at Hamtramck-level densities with sufficient common areas and walkability.

     @mischievoustomato @Tadano @coolboymew @meso I tried to get into being a pro CVS2 player in the early 2000s. You find out that if you're not super talented, don't have the right mindset, or you don't have a crazy amount of time to devote to practicing, you plateau, then you realize it's more fulfilling to play with friends and not be crazy good at the game.

     @mischievoustomato @Tadano @coolboymew @meso Especially in a genre where the people that care are autistic enough to count individual frames and determine whether or not a character is viable based on how many frames they're vulnerable for after they use key moves. Playing fighters online is a waste of time and completely unfun.

     @coolboymew @mischievoustomato @Tadano @meso What sucks is it's possible for fighters to have great single player content (SSB:Brawl, Soul Calibur 3, Rival Schools series) but most developers go "too much work." Esports taking off and fighting games having a ready-made pro scene in the FGC killed any reason for devs to include any solo content.

     I don't have the basic drilled in and I don't really want at this point. A lot of fighting games has historically been low single player content, and, yeah. I've always been drifting from game to game and I'd rather keep it that way

     I do wonder, if I had a fighting game as a child, if I could have had the basics drilled into me with sheer autism. It still would have been pointless because I would had nobody to teach me or play against in the end
     
     Although, with Melee, I had over 1000 hours on my save file (yes, really) and even without any sort of "pro" training and looking up pro strat and all, I was "top scrub" beating people who clearly practice on pro strats on pure fucking intuition
     
     Couldn't fucking play online ever because my entire game was pulling out weird shit at the last possible second, can't fucking do this with lag
