Have you got a real world example that is not on the web/social media?

In my experience, the world is not run by NT folks, and if you're being yelled at as an adult that person doing the yelling is certainly not NT.

As I've gotten older I have come to realise everyone is dealing with something, whether it's a diagnosable condition or not. As an example my wife has anxiety with OCD thrown in, my daughter probably inherited both, my son has some ASD tendencies, my MIL is the biggest narcacist and a complete A-Hole, her partner is a functioning alcoholic with his own issues. Then my mum is likely got mild anxiety, as well as my little brother, older brother has anger issues as well as my father. All this is to say externally you would consider everyone I just mentioned NT, my wife is the only one that has been diagnosed with anything

Yeah I feel my family is one, my wife is even a trainee nurse and hasn't brought it home, even once she sat next to a classmate for 4hrs who was clearly symptomatic with no mask, kids classes at school have been filled with it, and it's gone through all my work colleagues, still none of us have tested positive yet

Umm, it's mentioned in the linked article, pancreatic cancer

I'm living in Dublin and even here folks from mainland Europe complain about the lack of non-car related infrastructure, but friends of ours from Indiana absolutely loved being able to get around for the most part without a car. They repeatedly mentioned things like sidewalks just not existing in many places, which seems crazy to me, everywhere I've lived has at least been pedestrian friendly enough.

Verge has done a great job of sensationalizing this email, the actual quote is a lot less of a gotcha than the headline represents

I still visit about 3 sub-reddits, all on a browser with ad-block, and I completely avoid commenting, I probably should start using libreddit. Haven't touched the front page since the initial blackout

Exactly, Sony had a great start to the PS4, they gained a lot of goodwill because they started that generation on fairly equal footing with Xbox, and MS made a lot of blunders before the consoles even went on sale. At the time, the PS4 was a better deal, and Sony was much more customer-oriented. I was mainly a 360 user, and had a PS3 but it was rarely turned on, but I went all in on PS4.

I reckon however about mid-way through the last gen Sony had enough market share to care a bit more about profits than their customers. Mainly the issues around cross-play and cross-save, some say their stance on back-compat wasn't great, but I'm not sure I agree because it's likely largely a technical issue.

When the mid-gen refresh started coming around, I seriously considered switching to Xbox, but PSVR helped me stay in the Sony eco-system, but I did end up going all in on Xbox for this current gen, and am happy I have done, sure I miss out on some Sony exclusives, but I certainly appreciate the user-experience more on Xbox, with things like quick-resume and smart-delivery making Xbox feel truly next-gen

Git extensions, have been using it for years, and while the UI is not flashy, it gets the job done really really well.
