Why did we change from chapo.chat anyway?

No, it really doesn’t mean much. Claiming it’s fruitless to try to make a lifestyle change because most people who try fail isn’t helpful to anyone. About 85% of former smokers relapse within the first year, but if a friend of yours wanted to quit smoking, would you tell them “oh, you shouldn’t even try because you’ll just fail anyway”? I would personally encourage them and try to be a support system they could lean on! Likewise, if I had an overweight friend who wanted to lose weight, I’d support them!

When I was obese and losing weight, I appreciated my friends who supported and encouraged me a whole lot more than the “friends” who tried to sabotage me by telling me stuff like “weight loss is impossible for most people.” (And both groups of friends had underweight, overweight, and normal weight people.)

I couldn’t log in for about a month because of the infinite spinning bear bug. I saw a number of people talking about that issue. I wonder how widespread it was and how many people just gave up on trying to log back in.

You can’t be serious. If teachers exist to persevere capital, do you seriously think teachers would no longer exist in socialism?

Chicago is basically the capital of the Midwest and it is most certainly a real city. Unless if part of the criteria of being a real city like NYC is smelling like trash, then Chicago isn’t a real city since they hide trash in the alleys rather than leaving it everywhere

LTT is facing backlash for a couple things.

  1. They’ve had a lot of recent factual errors in their videos
  2. They received a prototype water block from a startup, used it incorrectly, and released a video trash talking it. Then, they sold the prototype at an auction rather than returning it despite the startup asking for it back.
  3. A former employee came out recently with reports of sexual harassment and a toxic work environment during her time there

We have 25000 users and yet my posts and comments aren’t getting 25000 upvotes. Some of you aren’t pulling your weight
