Or Gitlab. Unless Gitlab is terrible for some reason.

Or software development. Math majors tend to make good programmers.

I don’t recall hitting 110°F (43°C) but other than that your description is spot on with my recent experience in Michigan.

I miss summers where it was just humid, not stupidly hot AND humid.

How else are they gonna make the rural folk be okay with their nation getting fucked?

Quis cobiet ipsos cobes?

I can understand this hesitation, but I don’t expect that from Larian, they’ve delivered in the past and I suspect they’ll deliver again.

(So had CD Projekt Red of course, but Cyberpunk’s launch issues were largely stability/performance related, IIRC. Whereas Hello Games over-promised and under-delivered core features on No Man’s Sky.)

So I’ve heard! I just don’t want to see it on my store page. 🤣

Star Wars - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith would both be infinitely better if a better actor than Hayden Christensen had been cast as Anakin Skywalker.

I really think George Lucas as director was the problem there. Hayden Christiansen isn’t a terrible actor. Neither is Natalie Portman or Ewan McGregor. But all three of them have just terrible, awful line reads in those movies.

Portman’s career took a hit from those movies, though she recovered because she already had a foothold in the industry. McGregor was a well-known actor already, so he wasn’t hurt. Christiansen got demolished.

A bad actor makes themself look bad. A bad director makes every actor look bad.

Even the steam store just feels different now. Its full of gooner porn bait visual novels and mundane activity sims and 1 season relevant fps shooters.

For what it’s worth, I recently learned you can turn off the gooner porn bait visual novels in the store without turning off incidental sexual content games like BG3. They have gradations of sexual content.

(This doesn’t solve the other categories, but I suspect you can tailor your store experience to limit those as well.)

Corinth is famous for its llama!

I mean I wouldn’t dare say this to a therapist, I’d get involuntarily committed, which would just make me even more depressed.

Being involuntarily committed requires a present danger to yourself or others. Curiosity is not that. Talk to a therapist, it can really help.

(Also, for what it’s worth, being committed can really help. I spent a few days in a mental health ward and, while I wanted nothing more than to get out at the time, it ended up being very good for me. Unfortunately it also meant I started avoiding talking to a therapist, like you’re doing. I regret that result immensely, therapy is too useful.)

Interestingly, from what I can tell from my family, “non-MAGA” republicans are actually less likely to break with Trump over stuff. They’ll say they don’t like the man, but then they’ll shrug off criticism of him. This actually makes sense. MAGA drink the cool aid, but non-MAGA Republicans view themselves as rational. So they convince themselves that he’s not that bad.

It’s a pretty common cognitive dissonance reduction technique. In college I learned about a study where participants were told they were going to go eat a bug for market research. One group was offered $1 to tell the “market researcher” that they liked it. Another group was offered $20 for the same thing.

Afterwards, the people who paid them asked if they really did like it. The majority of the people paid $20 admitted they didn’t actually like the bug, but said they did because they’d been paid. But a significant number of the people who were paid $1 told the person paying them they actually did like the bug. People generally consider themselves honest, and view $1 as not enough to make them compromise their honesty, so they convinced themselves they really did like the bug after all.

Non-MAGA Republicans have spent so much time convincing themselves they didn’t fuck up or compromise their morals by voting for Trump that they support him even if they claim not to. Even if they’ve said for years they don’t like him but voted for him for whatever single issue they vote on, often abortion.

(Note, I am in no way an expert on any of this and am probably grossly oversimplifying.)

It sounds like replacing them with Hall effect thumb sticks is really easy. It’s on my list of upgrades if I ever notice an iota of drift.

No, it sounds like the proper tool for your use case is a spoon or squeeze bottle.

Sure, and that general purpose tool works fine. This is just the tool specifically designed for honey. It’s not necessary, just useful.

You keep slowly rotating it as you move it from the honey to whatever you’re going to put the honey in so the viscous liquid essentially “orbits” this thing instead of dripping onto your countertop. Then when over the target you stop rotating and let it pour off.

You’re probably right, I just wanted to be J Jonah Jameson.

I once heard someone say:

“My teens were my body’s puberty, my twenties were my mind’s puberty. By my thirties I started to have a handle on things.”

That has really stuck with me. I’ve loved my thirties!

I resent that!

Piracy is stateless. When state-sponsored it’s “privateering.”

My LG OLED panel is awesome. Beautiful TV.

I just don’t let it connect to the internet. 🤣
