I have almost 6500 hours in FO4, I played today.

I have maybe 300 hours in Starfield, can’t be arsed to look. Haven’t touched it in at least a year.

Bethesda knows how to make great games, but they chose not to. I don’t know why.

That’s my take.

They were right.

It does sound really stupid.

partially aquatic.

So, like, a mermaid?

You can get over it with practice. Stop avoiding what you’re afraid of.

In the mid-70s, in middle school (8th grade), we were taught all about the holocaust-which I remember because of the pictures and movies. I don’t remember what we were taught about the war itself, I’m sure it was covered. I didn’t realize it then, but many of my teachers grew up during, or were adults during WWII, simply based on how old they were. My English teacher that year was 70+, and he told combat stories in class.

That’s for washing hair. I’ve seen these before.

Penis > fish.

I agree, but I might be biased.

I vote for neither.

When a casual acquaintance asks my political leaning, I say Democrat to keep things simple. But, really, I’m a Bernie guy. I don’t want to talk politics, and trying to explain that Democrats are actually center-right is just too much effort to put into… well, just about everyone nowadays.

Six.

Look at this fork. LOOK AT IT. Now, calm down.

Apostrophe?

Are they normally this clean, or is this right after a cleaning crew?

Never been to NYC, I dunno.

You’re not going to get “improvements” in Windows, that should be clear by now. Crystal clear, I would think.

Linux IS good, and today, the “paradigm shift” is more like a gentle learning curve with people holding your hand every step.

I’m an old geezer who made the jump a year ago, it really isn’t hard. Literally, the only thing I miss is the big preview window in the file manager. Big previews for all of the major formats is a big plus for Windows, but not one that kept me on their side.

Wait, there’s actually humans working at Discord? I thought the entire thing was run by bots.

At least you didn’t pronounce it “gif”.

Tesla is a shitty company, and everyone who works there is shitty. Same for SpaceX. They don’t have any excuses left.

Anyone who buys a Tesla from this point forward is also shitty.

My last GF had sex with other men. I knew it. I didn’t care. Same as you, when we were together, it was just us. I knew she was careful with who she chose. I didn’t want to hear the details, but I was fine when she mentioned it off-handedly after the fact. It was no more concerning than if she’d told me she’d been to the dentist, or went shopping for a new coffee maker. What she did when I wasn’t around was irrelevant to “us”.

When I was a teen, with my first GF, it was too easy to become jealous.

Over time, and with more experience, I got over myself more after each relationship. By the time I was married, and in the end she had cheated on me, I was sad about losing her and what I thought our life was going to be, but the actual sex with another man didn’t bother me. Then, with my last GF, all that mattered was the time when we were together. What she did in her “free time” was her thing. I didn’t need to control her, I didn’t even want to control her in any way. Love is choosing to be with someone, love isn’t choosing NOT to be with someone else. The sooner people figure that out, the easier life is.

Why not both?

If money is the only motivation, and especially if some part of the job is demotivating for you (maybe ethically speaking), then I’d count that as burnout. Remember, they can never pay you what you’re worth, because then there’d be no profit for them to leech. Also, the corporate entity has no morality. It’s just a machine.

1984. Mondale.

My life-long democrat parents broke ranks and voted for Reagan in 1980. I’ll never understand that.

I’ve never voted for the right, and never will. I vote as far left as I can, believing we need to pull harder to have any hope of getting back to the middle.

When you vote for the lesser of two evils, you’re still voting for evil to win.

Statistically, he’ll die of poor health in the next four years. He’s very unhealthy, and very old. Medicine can only do so much.
