Seeing it live was a bit of a fever dream - the realization that the intro is going longer than normal + the shift in tone hit harder at 3am

This is how I feel, and I know a lot of folks who are in a similar boat. We’re sold this story of being financially stable, having a house, a car, and being able to retire, but for a lot of Americans that is looking more and more like a pipe dream each day.

The poorly educated/informed people eat up the propaganda like candy, vote against their own interests, and tear down everyone around them in hopes that they’ll be on top one day, and it simply won’t happen in the present state our country is in.

I’m not OP, but I also prefer KDE over Cinnamon. The size/spacing of the buttons on the left side of the start menu/application launcher looks weird to me, and while I’m sure there’s merits to Cinnamon that was enough to sour my tastes.

I didn’t hear a single thing about the game until after it was already dead, and that’s why I’m not surprised it flopped.

If they’d done better(read: any) marketing or public testing, then it might have been at least salvageable, but from what I’ve read it seems like people weren’t fans of the character designs and gameplay either.

The thing about IT for older folks is you have to be up for conversation too. Most of the customers I have only get out for church, so if I come out to see them it might be the first conversation they’ve had in days.

By definition? No.

But if there was a situation like that, I’m willing to bet people would default to using the “first” title anyway out of custom.

“First Grandchild” has been used previously (mostly tabloids), but I think the “first” term is usually limited to immediate family

I’m surprised they thought it was going to do well. I heard absolutely nothing about the game until after it launched, which is never a good sign to me.

If it was free, I’d definitely give it a try, but paid multiplayer shooters just aren’t worth it to me anymore.

I will forever miss the old pepper and onion mix that CFA had before the breakfast revamp.

The chicken salad recipe was pretty basic, if I remember right though. They have it listed on their app, too, I think; The only important note is you have to use debreaded fried filets, not ones with breading on. Grilled will change the flavor a little because of the marinade.

They’ve got the coleslaw in there too, but I didn’t work prep when we had it and cannot vouch for the accuracy.

Hands down my least favorite companion.

Independent IT Contractor: I have a 4-wide 1080p screen setup. I keep Slack/Teams on one screen, the semicircle setup means I can only really look at 3 at the same time. I upgraded from 3 screens because I kept having to juggle windows around while troubleshooting someone’s webserver.

Also used this setup when I was really heavy into FFXIV- I like having wikis/alerts open and visible, so one screen for that, the game, discord, and then the last one was just for youtube/netflix.
