Cid Vicious

Been trying to do more reading before bed. I think avoiding backlit screens helps me transition to sleep more easily. I really recommend an eInk based ereader to anyone who likes reading but hasn’t tried one.

This is incorrect. What you’re describing is the Third World. The Second World was the eastern bloc and other Soviet allies. The First World was NATO allies. The implication is basically that the third world was not important enough to be a factor in the cold war.

First thing I noticed on this was that they erased her name. Very lame. Edit: I reported it, removing author credit seems like it should break rules.

I think the number of scammers went way up though

Questionable message and definitely not a meme.

I just assumed it meant they were working on Exchange servers which is a guaranteed bad time.

The fact that your autocorrect is capitalizing Exchange makes me think you’ve had some bad times.

shrug I guess we’ll see but I don’t think it’s at all far fetched to think that more people will be lining up and saving for a switch 2 compared to a new xbox, even a year after the launch. The switch is one of the most successful consoles of all time and I don’t see any indication that demand for the switch 2 will be softer.

The problem with the question of why is that you can always ask why again. Say we do understand the mechanism of the big bang. You can still ask “why” about why things are that way. Which is why in my view that’s still more of a “how?” “Why” is more of a question for philosophers than scientists imo.

I’m doing just fine.

Well we still don’t have a date on it and many previous Nintendo launches have had demand way outstrip supply, leading to the new console being a pretty hot item way past initial launch date.

Perhaps for people who want gamepass but don’t want to deal with PC gaming. But I can’t really think of anyone I’d recommend buying an Xbox to currently. Really the last place platform this generation, by a lot.

I don’t fancy their odds with the switch 2 coming out and eating their hype cycle. Have a feeling people would view this more as an xsx pro than a full generational upgrade. I honestly don’t think Xbox stock has ever been lower so they better hope this doesn’t flop (or perhaps hope that Sony does something really dumb with the PS6 launch, which admittedly is far from out of the question).

Empirical observation can get you the what and the how, but I don’t think it will ever tell you the why. Who says there even is a why?

Majority of McDonalds locations are franchised so quality varies widely.

Well, “confirmed” probably involves a trial. And I’m assuming the majority of these people are dead by now.

“if you cannot feed yourself then wtf are you even doing” - nah sorry you come across as a condescending ass. People have busy lives and you seem very judgemental.

To be clear, I quite enjoy cooking and cook the vast majority of my own meals. I just don’t look down on people who don’t enjoy the same things as me, or perhaps were never properly taught.

Not everyone knows how to cook, and fast food is the cheapest (if not necessarily cheap) option. This is kind of a weird question to me.

Played a fair amount of this at launch, but will probably wait until 1.0 to go back. I’m assuming it’s a lot less buggy now?
