Lol, there are just so many random variations of every opening that it’s virtually impossible to know them all. It’s sometimes helpful to see what an opening is called so that you can potentially look it up later, but 99% of the time I feel like Michael in the meme.

Holy hell

They’re going to tell me to google something. I can feel it.

Also can’t forget gaming companies that have turned many modern games into Skinner-boxes.

That’s amazing, haha.

It made the world weird - especially politics. I still attribute the extreme polarization that we see today to the aftermath of 9/11.

Don’t get me wrong, I know people had strong opinions before 2001, but it didn’t seem like political party was as significant a part of the average person’s identity like it is now.

You’re not supposed to notice such things.

It’s really disappointing how much of our space is privatized.

Oh hey, I didn’t realize we had a best of lemmy community!
