Yes, driving a car is fun. I didn’t say commuting was fun.

I take offense to this

Ah, yes, the kingdom where they secretly reign, the land where they invisibly rule

Currently replaying the Sly Cooper series, it will always be a favorite of mine

The pulp is from fruit, right? The pulp is from fruit, right!?

Driving is fun, but it also shouldn’t be the default mode of transportation. Society and infrastructure should not be designed around the expectation/requirement of driving a personal vehicle to get there.

My reply was more about special use cases not being a good excuse that Linux isn’t ready. You’re right, most stuff people can easily do on a tablet or a phone, and that same stuff works just as well on a Linux machine. So someone that wants to do that stuff, but wants a machine more powerful than a tablet, can run Linux without issues.

I mostly just game and browse the Internet and my daily driver is Linux. I have not come across anything that I needed Windows for so far, in a year and a half of not using Linux. There may be some games I was vaguely interested in that don’t run easily on Linux, but day to day tasks, 3d printing/slicing software, basic image editing software, browsers, coding IDEs, all work native on Linux.

Sure, if there is a specific software that you really want to use, maybe that specific software isn’t available on Linux. But one individual running into multiple things that only run on Windows sounds like it is a fairly specific use case. At best, someone might need to use an alternative program. At worst, maybe that person needs to keep a windows environment around. But that doesn’t seem like the case for the majority of people.

I’m sorry, I meant it incredulous, like “excuse me, it’s weird to ask that”

Still using it? Celsius was invented less than 20 years after Farenheit, in the first half of the 1700s, and initially Farenheit was much more widely used (primarily by Britain). Both have benefits; Farenheit is more granular, but Celsius is easier to apply alongside Metric measurements.

But that’s also assuming that it stays at just over triple digits, doesn’t it? 125F is just as valid as 101F, and that’s without going to something ridiculous like 872F.

0F, or -9F if negatives are included in this, can definitely be very dangerous, but can be prepared for and compensated for more easily than temperatures over 110F.

I 100% can be wrong here, but as far as I know the Champion only needs to conform to the weight limit when they win the belt. If they go over the weight, they don’t automatically lose the title, they just had to meet the weight requirements when they won it. Though, they’d have to be within the weight limit again to defend the title, so I guess if they are challenged when they don’t qualify they might be disqualified?

Trying to look it up after reading the post, it seems you’d have to look at individual promotions for their specific rulings on how it’s handled.

“Last Christmas”, any version

Thanks, I hate it (though my roommates seem to believe the more beeps the better)

Turnabout and all that; now the enemies all start carrying wooden whistles they use right before casting fireball at you. At the very least, it would be silly and should hopefully get the players being extra careful as they craft their spells!

I agree with you, but find it absolutely hilarious that the two examples you gave are the ones I almost never hear people around me using.

Couldn’t you, like, pull over on the side of the road for a very similar effect, rather than parking in the middle of the lane on a highway?

I’m not going to say dump him and block him, but definitely take time to consider why you like each other, and why you’re dating and in a relationship. If he doesn’t like the same things you like (and actively is vocal about that dislike), what do you have in common? He seems to belittle your interests, does he belittle all of your interests or only certain things? Does he belittle you directly? I think it’s belittling of you indirectly by saying the things you like are “kid stuff”, implying you’re childish if you like them.

I know I don’t have the full story and all the details of your relationship, you posted a complaint about this one thing, but it does raise some red flags to be aware of. Do what makes you happy, and if these things that bother you are small enough that the rest of the relationship is worth it, great! But you’re both young enough, and there’s never a need to lock in a relationship that isn’t satisfying for each of you.

I mean, I can certainly tell whether a movie is objectively good or bad while watching it, but that rarely correlates with my enjoyment of the movie. I can separate “this is really badly made/has bad writing/is a ridiculous premise” and “this is a fun distraction from the daily routine”.

I kind of feel like being unable to make that separation and not being able to enjoy movies that are “bad” must be an exhausting and miserable experience.

Oh, I definitely agree on the local deliveries but. But you also mentioned going back in time a decade as part of your plan.
