  • Having not touched a Mac in about twenty years, is there a visual indicator that the application is still running when there are no open windows? Steam, for example, displays an icon in the systray on Windows, or the equivalent on Linux DEs, to show that it's still running even though you closed the main window. Does MacOS have an equivalent system that all its apps hook into? If it does, then that's fine. But if it doesn't, then that's a serious problem.

  • My personal example is identical twins. If they've had the same experiences, then knowing what one looks like tells you what the other looks like, but ripping the arm off of one doesn't magically rip the arm off the other.

  • He never retired, he just became irrelevant.

  • Hang on, I think I've seen this episode of, uh, everything.

  • I think a bunch of people on here genuinely don't know how to spell the word.

  • His character is actually Lithuanian, so he shouldn't have a Russian accent. Not that Scottish is accurate...

  • Ironically, pre-sugared cereal may have also reduced the amount of sugar in kids' cereal. For a while, kids were taking regular cereal and dumping sugar on it. Instead of actually parenting and telling them no, the parents started buying sugary cereal.

  • I could not for the life of me get used to using the left pad mapped as a stick, and d-pad stuff on the stick just felt wrong. Still loved the controller, though.

  • Something something torment nexus something something.

  • They also had a chunk of the budget set aside to digitally un-recede Costner's receding hairline.

  • It's so corny that it wraps around to feeling sincere.

  • Don't forget that there's a whole hell of a lot of voter suppression going on in red states, too. Remember when Georgia voted for Biden in 2020? Or when Paxton said he was certain Texas would have gone to Biden in 2020 if he hadn't prevented mail in ballots from being sent to certain counties? Republicans are actively preventing people from voting because they can't win if everyone votes.

  • Officially, the British monarch can reject any bills that Parliament sends them, effectively vetoing it, but no king or queen has exercised that power since 1708.

  • Propoganda is a hell of a drug.

  • Which makes sense because even 1080p streaming is garbage compared to blu-ray.

  • Carrie Fisher said she had no memory of making that due to being high off her ass.

  • E.g.: the illogical irrational hyper-emoting vulcans.

    Uh, Vulcans have always been illogical and irrational. This is partially because the writers tend to be bad at basic logic, but Trek has a looong history of Vulcans being pompous, racist assholes that are irrationally obsessed with tradition to the point they made it a de facto religion.

    They are usually stone faced while they do it, though.

  • Cyberpunk also has a nudity setting in all versions.

  • They also tend to spell out the way the character deceived you without lying anyway, so just flat out having a character tell you that another character lied wouldn't be weird.

  • What bugs me is that when you realize how incredibly reluctant game writers are to have a character just flat out lie to you, you can see this coming really early on the first run. They'll omit information or sidestep questions, but they won't just fucking lie when it would make sense for them to do so.
