I think another part of it is that gaming as a kid and gaming as an adult are for entirely different purposes a lot of the time. I still game for entertainment, but also as a way to unwind. It’s just relaxing to me and if I can get into a strongly written storyline, the stresses of my day fade away.

But as a kid, I gamed because gaming was flashy and fun and challenging, and then I wanted to talk to my friends about it after I beat yet another game.

Lol I had to look up the year that happened because yeah, my fridge is roughly that old. It was the fridge we got when I was a kid and now I have it at my house. I’m planning on it working until I’m dead.

But get a prenup.

Parents, man. Wish they’d be more concerned with dressing their kids appropriately for the season and less about the colors they wear because of perceived meaning behind those colors. Self expression and all that.

Oh I know, I was just being a pedantic shit, mostly because linguistically we always say we put clothing on even if we’re on the clothing.

You put your feet on your boots? Weird, I put my boots on my feet. 🤔😂

Many years ago I realized that I had mostly blue shirts for work and wanted to mix it up a bit. Went to the store, tried on everything I was buying, and came home with all blue shirts. Lol now I purposely buy at least a couple vibrant, non-blue shirts as my first picks every time I shop for clothing just to make sure there’s some variation. Yes, it’s still mostly blue.

To each their own. I get the need to have historical chat and all, and I run a Mattermost server for friends for the last few years and I depend on history there too. But on Signal it’s really just what I use with work peeps for after hours non-Teams IT chat in case something breaks and they needs emergency help since we all basically mute notifications for Teams after work.

Correct, it will only have all future messages. Nothing historic. But it should sync literally everything going forward.

I use it on mobile and desktop regularly without sync issues. Has it always had that problem for you? I generally always get messages at the exact same time without fail.

I also have two ring fingers, but they’re on separate hands.

Ackshully, that’s a jackdaw. Wait, where am I?

They can’t smell it on themselves. You get so used to the smell that it is completely unobserved by them.

That’s great in theory, but you’ll have passwords for logging into OSes too which password managers do not help with and you better have it memorized or you’re going to have a bad time.

Very common for pass phrases, and not dissuaded. Pass phrases are good for people to remember without using poor storage practices (post it notes, txt file, etc) and are strong enough to keep secure against brute force attacks or just guessing based off knowledge of the user.

Absolutely 7.5. Little column A, little column B. I’m thinking 8 causes 7 for me.

Just don’t bleed while drowning so you don’t die.

I’m the same. I’ve been a manager and I’m so glad those days are done. I want to do the work, not delegate the work, and do it well. I don’t care about recognition, I just want to see a functioning process or system that’ll make me appreciate the effort I’ve put in.

Can confirm, I’m on my second one now and it’s so good. Some traps back the water up and others don’t trap enough of the hair to be worth using, but these are perfect.
