Front right is wallet and keys front right mini pocket is pixel buds, milwaukee fastback, and file cabinet key. Front left is just my phone. Back right is work badge. Back left is typically where I collect receipts without realizing it. I also have a pen pocket by my right knee which always has a pen

I just picked up AC valhalla after 3 years of not touching it due to the stupidity of the game. There really isn't anything stealthy or assassin like except the mini quests that max out the difficulty settings that can't be adjusted and since you don't really play stealth having these sections turned to max made me say it's not worth the effort. I play on the easiest setting so that I can enjoy a relaxing experience and feel like I'm progressing with my insanely small amount of time I have I don't wanna be replaying levels 15 times in a row.

And I know what everyone is gonna say and while I agree it's a series I use to love even well after it got terrible. I'm just doing me in my own world not interested in all the multi-player games out there.

You're misunderstanding those numbers. The current older generation is boomers which got their name from the baby boom. People don't have kids like that anymore so everyone including retail stores will see drops in body count. If anything will kill them off its going to be their pricing. It is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper to go with nearly any other brand.

I'm curious how so? Wouldn't an influx of people immigrating into any country cause a dramatic economic shift? I'm aware racism plays a part of the selection process but I can't imagine it's the sole reason for such strict control over immigration.

The emissions laws they have in place isn't really a ban but instead just less encouraging of smaller trucks. The bigger the truck the emissions get easier to pass.

Yah, why not? I had $15 to just answer questions. If you're smart just answer them with whatever and the longer you make the survey the more you'll make.

Phones have honestly flat lined. Back in 2011 me and my buddy were heavily into phones upgrading what felt like every few months to try the latest and greatest new features. Nowadays you get a marginally bigger optimized battery, upgraded camera, and a mildly upgraded screen, however you pay significantly more. The only people I know who upgrade on schedule are iPhone users. I'm upgrading every 5-7 years now and my next phones probably gonna be whatever I can get cheap enough

I can say that for myself it's not really just the price. I don't have space to put a computer. With a console I can hook it to the TV and tuck it up under it. When I wanna play I can grab just the controller and sit on the couch. I like simplicity. With a pc I need a mouse, keyboard, desk, a chair, speakers, and a monitor. I know it can be hooked up to a tv however the tower still stands as an issue. The smaller compact towers that can be tucked have limited capabilities that rest below consoles.

On top of all that PCs are regularly getting releases years after a games release. PC gaming is only superior if the things going to be entirely utilized by the person and for some reason a lot of PC gamers think the average person will be doing so when that's simply not the case.

Ever since smartphones exploded the expectation to respond IMMEDIATELY is out of control. Anyone who gets my number I warn them they'll be left on read for days if not weeks at a time. If it's important I'll respond but otherwise it's whenever I get time to decompress and respond. I've got a buddy who I love we respond to each other every other week mostly. We will even have calls in between. People really get entitled to others time and it's insane.

I know someone's gonna say it but no the entitlement wasn't even remotely as bad with the older phones. Smartphones began putting pressure to respond because it was easier and then they introduced the "seen" option followed by the "typing" option.

I'll be open and honest knowing whenever bringing the subject up generates anger. "Normies" aren't gonna join somewhere where 99% of the conversations revolve around using Linux. Jump into any thread and someone's talking about it. Doesn't even need to be a tech thread. As soon as someone goes against the grain immediate backlash. It's not welcoming at all.

So phones are illegal but not this? What in the actual fuck is going on right now. We are being forced so many damn ads it's nearly impossible to get away from them. Now I need to worry about someone trying to hit skip instead of focusing on driving. As a motorcyclist I'm now even more terrified. Half the drivers now already don't look up from their phones....

The world is such a fascinating place. I genuinely don't think I've ever seen a bank WITHOUT a drive thru. I've lived in big cities and out in the sticks.

 

I'm looking to make links stand out by any means. I find myself always opening them and having something like YouTube or other video services open and start playing while in places where that's not ideal.

 

With the ad adjustment came these banner ads on the top of comment sections and they are atrocious so much so I don't bother reading comments anymore. They all have the obnoxious white backgrounds and they flicker since they move. It feels light no matter my phones britness they are blinding and since content doesnt get loads of comments the banner is just distracting while reading. I'm on board with ads as I haven't paid to remove but this specific style changes how I'm using sync now.
