Iirc it’s based on a real experience, so that’s probably true. I haven’t seen it in forever, nor do I intend to, so I say probably because I don’t recall all the nuance.

I don’t remember fully about that airport(after all, it is a full 20 mins from my house) but as i recall this is a major Delta hub, and because of that the entire section where they board and then move to taxi is all Delta only.

It’s just so common here. It’s an automatic assumption that a snide culture comment isn’t about America but those of us with some melanin in our skin.

Networking, we had a remote office in Europe (I’m in the US) and wanted to reset a phone. Phone was on port 10 of the Cisco switch, port 1 went to the firewall (not my design, already in place).

Helping my coworker, I tell her to shut port 10.

Shut port 1, enter.

Ok… office is offline and on another continent…

I’m imagining that last line said with a thousand yard stare.

That “only” reason is my primary (but not only) reason. Having had too many headsets I had to replace because only one ear would work. Wasn’t worth the hassle to keep replacing em. In addition, I like a lot of the noise canceling and remote control features good wireless comes with. Not that you couldn’t get those from wired, but a lot of the good ones I’ve seen don’t have much controls.

Yet another reason, my phone, which I chose for the screen size, unfortunately has no headphones jack.

I do currently use wired headphones for my pc, both work and fun, but I started this after my wireless of about 5 years fell apart(plastic degraded, the electronics still work). While the audio quality is higher and my new desk mic is highly superior as well, I do miss being able to walk around my room or get a drink and still listen to conversations.

Anyone who adamantly states such a position of yours is stuck in their own use cases and thinks everyone has the same needs and priorities. I’m not you, and you aren’t me, and we use our devices differently.

Kif, we have a conundrum.

It’s so hard finding low sugar cereals. I’m lactose intolerant so I usually get no sugar added oatmilk at least.

Oh, nvm then.

Edit: I may be mistakenly looping stuff like Darktide, Helldivers, Monster Hunter, etc into Deathmatch, as those are most of my co-ops aside from survival builders. I also play FFXIV and Elite Dangerous with friends so not hurting as much as others for co-op.

43: chuckles, I’m in danger.

That’s fair.

Honestly, I agree to a point with them. Your other comment was vague and didn’t make a direct point, while your followup made a valid point.

Having tried to use those, my main issue was the 710 is an unreliable 2.4ghz wireless, when bluetooth controllers all worked much better for me. I couldn’t get the 710 to have reliable button presses from more than like 4 feet from my pc, so I ended up just using the 310 wired. Maybe there isn’t enough interference on the sub for that to be an issue.

Yeah, this theory can be funny, but it completely ignores how the Kochs and John Birch Society, among many others, have been trying to “take back” the country since… well civil war at least if you include the KKK and south. Though more since FDR. They have been planning, shifting the Overton window, and trying every little thing they can. They even freaked out about Timothy McVeigh a bit, thinking he set them back by exposing the general secretly violent right wing by going so public, iirc.

I listen to a variety of podcasts for different moods, and I also use it like music. Sometimes I’m in a music mood, sometimes I decide I need to hear how terrible Kissinger really was, sometimes I want to hear Dan research and refute all the lies Alex Jones spouts (the last two come often with the benefit of learning the origin of bullshit being spouted by some internet personalities), and sometimes I want to hear 3-5 guys who I find funny discuss movies and/or Wikipedia articles. I also like listening to factual and historical podcasts that have more detailed researching.

Why listen when I could look up and read it? Well I do look up and read specific topics, but that takes my full attention. I have ADHD and my mind can wander without additional input if I’m doing something tedious. So I listen while driving, cooking, cleaning, working, and even gaming. Gaming isn’t tedious per say, but sometimes you have bursts of that (farming items, repeatable dailies, etc). I pause when I really need to, but some games I also play for relaxation, and I can relax and listen to a funny podcast at the same time. If it’s work or gaming where I need focus, music works better.

I knew there was some connection between em but wasn’t sure if it was by the same people, or based on it like Robotech, or a knockoff, so I just left it out. Thanks for clarifying.

Gundam, Evangelion, Transformers, Macross, Aldnoah Zero, etc etc. There are some more nonjapanese examples but I didn’t see much of those myself. I think MegasXLR or something was one? Live action of course I’ve seen much less of.

Mech Warrior of course bucks the trend. There are several game series I failed to mention beside Mechwarrior as well. Battletech iirc also uses Mech.

It’s not octopuses that octopodes corrects, it’s octopi. Octopi is a Latin pluralization, and since the word is Greek and us to i isn’t specifically American, I agree with you that octopuses is fine but not that octopi is fine.

… as opposed to American Spyware? I’m no fan of any governments, including both Chinese and American (not fully anti government, just think all need drastic improvments) but while I understand calling it Spyware, the focus on Chinese feels a bit sinophobic. Facebook does bad spying work too, plus has run experiments on users live. Cambridge Analytica stole info for political means as well. Google, ISPs, and many other info sites collect and sell info on you, and many of them will submit info to governments when requested. X/Twitter is run by an egotistical MAGA idiot who is blocking stuff he doesn’t like but allowing Nazis to be broadcast to everyone.

They should all be considered similarly problematic.
