I mean, even like 2018 it wasn’t uncommon to stand in line at my local Chipotle for 15-20 minutes. No DoorDash orders, no online orders. Just really slow workers, but also understaffed, and somehow always waiting for something (rice, veggies, anything from the grill). I mean I can talk that up to poor management.
I remember when the McChicken was a buck.
Did Lemmy just compare using a computer to domestic abuse… really…
That’s some out of touch bullshit. These are not comparable on any level. I get this is a meme section for Linux, but it’s some out of touch bullshit.
I have had 1 week off the whole year. I have some PTO coming up. I feel guilty using it (even though I shouldn’t).
Some comics are going to translate better if you can go R. Like if you want to portray something truly cruel, dark, painful, tragic, I feel like you’re not really going to get that on anything less than an R. Like DC’s Identity Crisi. Or you could just look at movies that did come out like Logan, or Deadpool. If there’s a Peacemaker film you probably would want that rated R.
You forgot to mention, that was was fired from PayPal(?) for being incompetent.
And the engineers he hires are either not that great, or (more likely) are having to play fast and loose due to unrealistic expectations. Like the original hyperloop demo that was setup years ago for a competition, instantly rusted and was secured poorly. It’s since been destroyed.
I mean, it’s the 40k universe, there’s a 100% you gonna die. So, really, it does fit your criteria… just in a roundabout way.
What’s a way to create a local repo mirror?
When I was a kid, I knew a kid who was (presumed) special needs but also EXTREMELY VIOLENT. I remember being in the 3rd grade and seeing him literally being carried away into a side room at school (probably to get him away from someone). And I mean like some teachers had his arms, and others had his legs, literally suspending him in the air because he wasn’t going willingly to any degree.
He was known for biting and clawing. One time, he flat-out just choked me. He was a known entity in the school.
I have no idea where he ended up. I think his mom ended up putting him in a group home or something because she basically couldn’t overpower him anymore, and he made it known he was pissed at her.
Same. I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t just be like “wtf is this, fuck it, give me four”
Who you are now, isn’t likely who you’ll be in 6 years. You’ll change a lot over the next few years as you become an adult. Legally, becoming an adult is the difference of a day. But actually maturing into an adult takes time and effort. Yes effort, you’ll meet plenty of adults who cling to their highschool self.
I don’t know if alcohol is still placed on a pedestal like it was in my teens, but alcohol isn’t that great. It’s an expensive poison humans can sorta metabolize. It can taste good, but moderation is key. The point isn’t to get drunk. As an adult who can drink anytime I please, is generally would rather just have water.
Now is a great time to get into a fitness routine.
It was about the goal, not the how.
Holy crap, it is there. Ok, scratch at least that one from the list. They should have emphasized it because I missed it completely and I can’t be the only one. I nearly missed it in the video you shared. IMO, it’s important to show that there’s an active gym culture there, because it means overall the community approves of it and they do have extra. Building muscle requires a surplus of calories. If it’s just a single person, they’re an asshole. If there’s a welcomed gym with active users, or even if it’s encouraged it sets a very different tone. She still sucks as a character. But slightly less.
That’s really inviting the real issue with Abby. They designed a story for people to hate her, with the expectation that she’d grow in you and you’d sympathize with her at the end. She literally looks that way through a whole game for the big reveal at the end when you see her.
It’s a post-apocalyptic setting, and she’s the only one jacked. It would have taken all of 30 seconds to show an active dairy farm, a weight gym, and other people also jacked. Bulking up muscle if you don’t have the resources is not a wise thing to do. Turns out there’s a “blink and you’ll miss it” gym. Very possible to not see it if you don’t rotate the camera to look. Still, a single person walking up looking like her (jacked), to be VERY explicit would have gone a long way.
If the second game had started at the end of the first game, from the perspective of Abby (basically take the one flashback and make that the start), and then you move forward in time bouncing between Ellie and Abby, giving players time to learn about Abby, that would have changed a lot.
Instead we are forced to play Abby, who has an unnecessary sex scene with her friends (Mel) boyfriend (Owen), who immediately kills Joel, who appears to be wasting resources on a selfish revenge plot, in a game with a story was written by writers who saw Momento + GoT and thought they could pull off clever writing (they couldn’t). And at no point is the player given any agency, especially at its ending.
Abby sucked, because Naughty Dog set the character up for failure.
Sorry but you NPCs aren’t supposed to know that information… It causes issues…
When I was still playing Nintendo games up to the switch, my games were physical.
On PC I have steam. But I still have various install discs from years gone by.
And I have various CDs, DVDs and blu-rays.
I don’t have any streaming subscription services. I canceled all of them a long time ago
Hold on, that’s a real photo? I thought it was a joke or something!
8th or 9th for me. 8th just feels epic. But I started Doctor Who on Netflix with Chris, so the 9th is nostalgic for me.
I think you mean '99
Due the storm of ‘Bawitdaba’, ‘Only God Knows Why’, and ‘Cowboy’ being released that year and Napster.
Oh how kind of them! They force disconnect an appliance but give you a coupon to buy the latest model.
And the newest model is different how? It’s a thermostat after all.
Whole reason I got one was because of the promised savings (never saw any, from the learning, just bullshit offers that allowed the electric company access…).
Guess it’s back to the tried and true mercury thermostat.
