Thank you for eloquently saying what I often struggle to convey. I’m saving this comment for later reference.
I did too!
I won’t lie, they pulled the wool over my eyes with Starfield. I kept waiting for that moment where they brought it all together and suddenly it would be a great game. I was shook when the credits rolled and I hadn’t yet found the fun part.
A number of Android phones support most of this functionality. Unfortunately, you have to actually click on a “Lockdown mode” button after long pressing power+volume-up. Hopefully Google catches up here.
Even if this is true, and I’m not arguing that it isn’t, if you’ve committed a different crime with a worse punishment, you’ll have to take that into consideration.
The third season genuinely made me angry. Not that it wasn’t good. There were just so many unlikable characters that it was hard to watch sometimes.
Have you considered that your approach may contribute to your difficulties dealing with such people? The tone of your messages is extremely aggressive.
I do my best to set things up so that I don’t see any ads (running DNS66 for example). But if I had to see ads, I’d prefer them to be irrelevant. That way they’re easier to ignore. I don’t need to do any favors for the corporate giants trying to milk me for every penny.
This hits too close to home.
But… but… then how will they collect telemetry for targeted advertising?
We get so much chocolate at Halloween. I’m not a big candy guy (pastries for me, thank you), and I’m sure as hell not letting my kids have unrestricted access to caffeine and sugar. We almost always have some left when the next Halloween rolls around. If I have a piece in September it will likely have bloom on it.
It’s the “see no evil” approach. If you didn’t report the issue while the admin was online, then they aren’t compelled to do anything about it. Convenient for the project maintainer who doesn’t actually like maintaining things. Awful for the rest of us.
A bunch of the servers I’m on actively discourage the use of threads. No idea why. In a different server I’m on, an admin creates a thread for every post in general, so that people can talk about the post without cluttering up the main thread. I wish more servers followed that example.
Haven’t seen this one in a while. One of my all time favorites.
My company generally gives yearly raises, and before 2020 they were usually pretty generous. The last few years though, they haven’t even come close to matching inflation.

I’m not sure I understand. As recently as a few years ago, it was common to find high quality long-form articles on just about any subject linked from your favorite subreddits/tweeters/etc. Now, it seems like the majority of “news” articles I come across are vapid, two paragraph, summaries of a Reddit post or Twitter thread, that don’t anything substantive of their own. I mean, yeah you could find a lot of that 5 years ago too, but now it’s hard to find anything else. It wasn’t that long ago that we had newspapers and magazines, both online and offline, that were actually known for hard-hitting, in-depth journalism. Then they all got sold to companies like Meredith and Conde Nast and have become nothing but thinly veiled advertising. I guess my point is that it hasn’t always been that way, and it doesn’t have to be that way now.
