If you have ice cream, I will give it to you.

If you have no ice cream, I will take it away from you.

This is an Ice Cream Koan.

The game’s narrative was identified as an area that was particularly in need of improvement and will be revamped in the coming months

I really don’t trust executives to be the arbiters of what is considered good narrative. I hope they didn’t just kneecap the writing because it wouldn’t appeal to as many people as possible.

I get that the implicated conclusion here is that cars are orders of magnitude more dangerous. This is true, but I wonder how much this data is being skewed because more people drive cars rather than walk.

This is Dunning Kruger in effect. You actually know way more than you think because you’re more aware of what you don’t know than a total beginner.

Also, as far as wanting to switch back goes, That’s a path of least resistance. For a multitude of reasons, stock Windows is simply easier to use than Linux for most people. Especially if you’re already used to Windows’ workflows and its particular quirks. And somewhat ironically, Linux is harder to adapt to if you’re a power user. Power users tend to use their PC for more things than a basic user does, and therefore need to configure more things to work properly.

By the way, I’m not throwing shade towards Canada specifically.

Please throw shade towards us. Our lack of action here was largely because we wanted to stay on good terms with the US, who made their position abundantly clear.

Our government calculated that there would be harm done to our country if the US decided to twist some economic screws. But then Trump was elected and it happened anyway and we look like patsies.

I would seriously doubt it, not because it’s impossible, but because it’s massively impractical.

It turns out that wireless charging is shockingly inefficient. The antennas you would need are way bigger than you could carry practically, and the amount of power you receive is very tiny compared to the amount of voltage you’re pushing through.

A YouTuber I like actually built a setup like this in a recent video.

Isn’t this basically what TOR and I2P are for?

This asshole has learned to claw at my back through the chair when he wants attention and it startles me every time.

Gendered bathrooms have always been stupid. Everybody poops, everybody pees, it’s good enough to just have a room where everyone can do that.

That’s already a thing

I believe they make you move your face specifically to avoid that from happening. Which is why the Death Stranding trick works

I think brainslugs are bad, actually.

Axiodeez nuts

Absolutely, thats something you get with population centers, but I think they’re farther right politically than most major US citites.

Miami, maybe. But I think they’re still pretty left in comparison to the Rest of Florida

It is a little weird that D&D is synonymous with tabletop RPGs, considering how many other great games are out there; especially these days. But D&D is by no means a bad game and people should still play it.

This is the thing that old people get where they think that every issue works both ways. They care about Trump so they assume we have the same opinions about the liberal elites like Clinton or Biden, or Obama.

This is also where the “Father, I cannot click the book” comes from. They can’t find reliable info online and think that kids cant find reliable info from books.

Honestly, it’s going to be awkward regardless, but it’s an important conversation to have. Just speak frankly, dont judge him, and don’t press the issue.

He doesn’t need to worry about shaving pubes, he’ll figure that out if he wants to do it, but it might be a good idea to let him know he should do it because he wants to, rather than because his partner does.

Hygiene is also not likely an issue if he’s gone this long without problems. If he doesn’t wear deodorant yet, just buy him a stick the next time you get groceries and let him know he needs it now.

Regarding porn, mention that it’s entertainment, not a guidebook. Porn is not like the real thing so don’t try to imitate things.

This has been true for 15 years, but video game execs don’t care about the game itself, they only care about the money it makes

Almost certainly no. This is the gateway for “the algorithm” to start recommending pop science and science communicators, and from there, a seed will sprout for people to get interested in “real science”
