Gregory's Server@platypus @bright_helpings @hisham_hm but this last part is precisely the kind of nostalgia you describe as having a good reason - appliances last less because of planned obsolescence and globalization, precisely those processes that are endangering the future of our planet and making our world worse. nostalgia always serves a function, as the late great Svetlana Boym taught us. 🤓🙂

 @platypus I’m sorry, I misunderstood! I understood your “And then..” as being “but”, as this is how some people use that phrasing. You’re absolutely right! |
@loshmi that—is literally what I said? There is no “but” from my sentences to yours?
Some space “nerd” nostalgia I could really take a miss on (eg Pluto does not care exactly how it’s classified, people claim to love science and then hate that science refines and revises itself). I then gave an example of—exactly what you said? How sometime it’s quite good? 🤨 I don’t know what your reply means
