What's your opinion on social media as whole? What's your favorite social media platform and why? Do you think forums like this one provide an alternative to social media or not?
they're fine. i use twitter a lot during breaks to see memes/funny imagery
i feel like they get a lot of flak from uninformed people/people who don't really understand how they work and blame the whole platform for any of the problems that might've been caused by themselves and themselves alone (like following shit people who post shit content, developing a co-dependency for the platform, etc) or just plain exaggerate how harmful they actually are. social media is only shit if you make it shit for yourself, i always say this.
twitter is my most used social media, and it's the only "big" one i still use up to this day so i guess that counts as my "favorite" (even though
favorite is kind of a strong word and wouldn't really call it that)
i've been there for over 11 years at this point and never had any issues.
besides uh, you know, elon musk being a fucking idiot and removing useful features/ruining its already low reputation to the ground(this question is not in the OP btw)

What's your opinion on e-dating? (suggested by eblf2013)
not worth it
for a relationship like this to actually succeed it takes a level of maturity that is nigh impossible to see these days. i've only seen it happen once to someone i knew, and they still managed to break up somehow
but if you're not going for anything serious and you're both of age then yeah

What do you think of physical media? Do you think it is still relevant? (suggested by eblf2013)
it's neat. i have an entire collection of physical videogames from the n64, gba, gamecube, nds, wii, 3ds and even some from the wii u and switch. the games from the older consoles give me a lot of nostalgia because they used to come with instruction manuals that were very well done most of the time and explained things that you might've not noticed in normal play. however, the newer games just come with the game cartridge/disc and nothing else, which is a shame
as long as there are people who want to fill their shelves with videogames, physical media will always be relevant and in demand, no matter how expensive or difficult it might be to purchase

Self-employment or working for someone else? (suggested by eblf2013)
work for someone else 100%, no contest
self-employment might sound cool on paper but in reality it's a fucking nightmare. your salary and the clients you get become
literally RNG (meaning it becomes difficult to budget and plan for the future), you don't receive benefits like health insurance, retirement plans or paid time off (unless you hire them on your own), you might run into the issue of having tasks that are not related to your specialty (this is probably one of the worst ones), etc.
maybe it's better in other countries, but here in spain jumping into the self-employment ship is a very,
very bad idea, especially if you never had a job before. do
not do it
