    No no, I don't think it's rude at all. I agree that there is a distinction. One implies lack of ability to be financially independent and one doesn't.

    But I guess my overall point is that this distinction isn't necessarily important in other cultures, as you don't really even entertain the idea of "moving out" to begin with.

    Even more astounding to me is that we have the largest percentage of kids, averaging in their mid thirties, who still live with their parents. Something is way off.

    Is this all that weird in and of itself? In certain other cultures, they'd see this as normal.

    Hell, I'm considering asking my mom to live with me when I graduate grad school because I love her so much and I don't want her to have to work so hard!

    I'm very new to this site, but will members ever have the power to create their own communities?

    Sites like YouTube and Reddit have been frustrating me more and more over the years. They've morphed from fun websites where you can be chill and get entertained to bending over backwards in an attempt to please advertisers. No one even seems to be allowed to swear on the internet anymore. I really don't want my favorite sites to become as censored as Disney films. If I wanted those, I'd watch them.

    At the same time, most alternative sites just seem to be filled with hate speech.

    Sorry, this turned into a rant of sorts not entirely related to your comment!

    Oh, I get that it's expensive and time consuming. It's why I'm not really demanding an app, just trying to argue with those that say apps are totally unnecessary and a browser provides the exact same experience...when it's just flat out untrue. And I'd argue that dedicated apps for sites like these do help to gain users.

    I also didn't realize I was responding to you and not the other guy lol!

    On the topic of apps, I'm in favor of simplistic ones like Reddit is Fun as opposed to ones with too much nonsense all over the screen like some other Reddit apps. Are those any simpler/cheaper to develop for?

    I'd love to offer my services to help for an app, but unfortunately I'm not a programmer or anything of the sort. So unfortunately I'm stuck as a cheerleader on the side.

    Granted, is anyone surprised an outdated social networking site lost some of the things you uploaded to it and forgot about eons ago? It never tried to be a cloud storage service, and it is a mostly defunct site. Quite frankly, I'm surprised it's still kicking!

    I disagree that apps are inherently worse than using the browser. I mean, for any website you want to browse, you could just use the browser. It's true. But when you have maybe three sites you frequent and don't want all of your other tabs getting in the way, it works better as a dedicated app.

    Moreover, mobile apps often make for a more efficient use of screen real estate.

    I tend to be a mobile user when browsing the net more than a desktop user, and I prefer it that way. An experience like Reddit is Fun would be terrific. It's simple and efficient.
