After a couple thousand hours in KSP1, I still managed to dodge that bullet. The only new feature I really cared about was multiplayer, and I knew it wasn't going to happen when they they started early access without it.

Maybe entering the portal takes as much energy as it would take to climb the long way? If the other end is on the moon you have to enter at 10km/s or something else you fall right back out. Warning: I am not responsible for damage caused by extreme tidal forces.

Your most fundamental motivations are inherently irrational/instinctual, but once you know what they are you can pursue them more deliberately. Nobody can decide for you what the meaning of your life is, you have to discover it through experience and introspection.

Even non-AI subtitles are off by default, what exactly are you expecting to be on?

What do you mean by active component? Is processing the audio being played back to add subtitles active?

If I downvote something without explaining, it's probably because it sounded like a bot, but I wasn't sure enough to report it.

I find downvotes important in maintaining signal to noise long term. If people downvote me, I take that as a signal that there's either something I don't know, or that I need to improve how I communicate the idea. I want a community where I can have a real conversation with people that both agree and disagree with me, not an echo chamber that only allows conforming views, nor a shit flinging free for all.

Not often. Certainly not when I'm shouting into the void.

When I'm answering a question or responding to a statement, I'll generally match the level of the existing discussion. I still try to say what I mean, but I'll try to avoid concepts with a lot of missing prerequisites. Target audience matters too, if you ask me how orbital rendezvous works, you'll get a different answer depending on where you ask the question. For example, I'd probably skip explaining how orbits themselves work if you asked in a community dedicated to kerbal space program or children of a dead earth, focusing instead on what the person asking is probably trying to do. Similarly, a comment in a community dedicated to real life space exploration is getting a more detailed answer than the same question in a community for the general public. Basically different assumptions about what the person already knows, and what the person wants to find out.

If I'm just going to cook 1 meal, I'll usually make cheese tortellini with garlic bread. Sometimes pot stickers.
If i'm going to make a batch of something for multiple meals, it's usually burritos, sometimes drunken noodles, sometimes fried rice.
Once or twice a year I'll make a big pot of chili with cornbread, get a dozen or so meals out of it.

What they need to do is throw some spaghetti at the wall, see what's fun, then throw their hundreds of millions of dollars behind THAT.

Egg is obvious if you know what the difference is between vegetarian and vegan in the first place, but I don't think you can expect most people to be able to cook vegan food, even if they're trying, and know the basic definition. I know enough non-obvious uses of animal products(like shellac on fruit), that I'd have no confidence in being able to avoid them all unless I grew everything myself.
