If this is wrong I don't wanna be right

This is the best measure (preventative). Carb heavy lunches will wreck you. Save the carbs for after work, fall asleep on the couch watching TV, then wake up with a sore back.

Take a look at the Hong Kong protests. Twitter was a huge way to show the world what was going on. But also full of shills and bots sewing discord

Honestly at this point I can't tell if I'm happy or sad about things like Twitter going away. It was full of horrible discourse and bots and misinformation, but also helped a lot of people. Back in the day it was insanely helpful for directing large areas affected by disasters.

I just don't see the good uses of these platforms ever coming back from all these primadonna CEOs

Batter? I hardly know'er

For sure. My small city sub was hilarious. Always people asking "anyone know why there's a helicopter flying over our city?!"

I'm not confused why they're doing it, I'm confused why they think b&m stores are the way to go. I'm sure they can subsidize any potential losses from other money making areas but why not just sell the merch online? Storefront overhead ain't cheap.

I've been using windows all my life and I've never seen anyone not say this about "their" version. Except ME. Fuck ME.

But seriously my dad refused to switch to Windows from DOS for the longest time. 95? The best. 98? Can't upgrade. Xp or die. 7 forever. 10 or bust. In 10 years it will be people clamoring over 11 and refusing to switch.

I'm not an expert by any means but can't this be used to launder money?

I'm a little confused and not knowledgeable on this at all so I'm genuinely curious: if inflation goes crazy for years, like 8% for 4 years let's say, why is there no concerted effort to drop it for a while, like -5% for 4 years, to "bring it back" to the 2% aimed for originally? If that makes sense. It seems like if inflation gets insane we're all just stuck with it for the rest of time?

I believe they forced him to step down because of his stubborn stance on EVs right?

I used to work at a credit union in IT. I can confirm financial institution laziness knows no bounds. Separate from their laziness is the vendor compatibility. I can't count how many vendors do not update their software to run on modern browsers and relied on specific IE instances. Adding to all that is just the institution itself having decades old hardware and software because modernizing things can be incredibly expensive. The core my company used was incredibly outdated Unix and required a ton of different middleware just to make sure we were compliant where absolutely necessary. If it wasn't necessary nothing got done. And that's better than a lot of banks that could be running on some COBOL based core. Completely redoing the core will affect every middleware crap solution they've patchworked together to keep running over the past few decades and will be insanely resource, cost, and time intensive.

Even these days at my current company I run into this shit. Huntington bank requiring IE for check processing, or SAGE DB software requiring 2013 Access or else it won't work. These are huge companies still utilizing outdated piles of garbage.

That happened all the time in my smallish city sub I used to frequent. It was small enough crap like that would get banned quickly. You'd just find them stirring every hot topic pot you could find in every city sub for our state and also like 5 other states, just 24/7 "arguing" aka spouting talking points or hit and run posts. Then occasionally a random post in /r/mlb

Baldurs Gate 3 comes out August 3rd on PC, Sept for consoles. It's right up your alley. Early access is going on still if you want to try it. You can fully flesh out your character in pretty much every way. 10/10 would recommend.

I do the same thing and have tons of issues with how they're making the game. That being said it's far from vaporware. The experience is pretty jank at the moment but 2 years ago when I played a lot it was stable and you could sink a lot of hours into an actual gameplay experience, which is far from vaporware from my understanding. Theoretically you still can but I'm waiting to play until it's more stable. It's still alpha yeah but when it works it's an actual game, albeit far from expectations and promises.

People should absolutely criticize the development but calling it fraud seems a stretch, they clearly have a product it's just like 6 years away probably from being what they talked about 6 years ago lol. It seems more like mismanagement and development bloat. The insane backers notwithstanding. Even if they dump development now I had some fun times with $45 spent. It's certainly an interesting experience to behold, I just think the hyperbole around the game can be ridiculous. My two cents.

• Suburban Sasquatch
• chopping mall
• She Came From The Woods
• Army of Darkness
• Carnosaur
• Killer Clowns From Outer Space
• Feeders
• Hack-o-lantern
• Hauntedween

Take your pick, some of these are actual movies, some pretend to be (looking at you Suburban Sasquatch). You'll have some laughs regardless of the pick.

I was bored one day and tried counting how many cat themed subs there are. I lost count. Hundreds at least? There's stuff like "cats who yell" but also a ton of ultra specific subs like "elderly calicos sitting on grand pianos" kinda specific.

This is what I do. I got a flushing ear thing specifically with the nozzle for ears on Amazon for like 10 bucks and it's a game changer. I gotta do it yearly.

Windows 2000 was for enterprise, not home use. 8 was for mobile & touchscreens (at first) and that failed miserably yes, hence their 8.1 release. Just like ME they tried hopping on a bandwagon and it flopped. Two major flops in 23 years is not a bad record. But my point remains that when whatever new OS comes out, people look back at the last one with rose tinted glasses.

Oh it's fantastic, just wanted to throw in at least one reputable film

That's a great observation about you hanging out around tractors as a kid and having that sense of awe. I had a similar thing as a kid with my grandpa working on semis and old cars. I really hope they do pull the game off despite my brain telling me this is all a house of cards. But exploring ships and space is so damn fun, this is the closest game to that. Tried all the X games and Elite and everything in between and SC, broke as it is, still has me holding out hope. At the very least if they never make it to a full release I hope someone else tries something similar. Starfield is fun but not scratching the same itch.

Not the person you responded to but you can turn any shoe into this. Lock laces. Instead of tying my shoes daily you can slip them on and off and they always stay exactly perfect. I adjust them mayyybe once a year. They're like 10 bucks and make my shoes feel amazing.
