I can handle any action game, platformer, etc. using a controller, despite heavily preferring a keyboard and mouse (excluding racing). I still can't play FPS/TPS games on a controller... it has to be m&k.

Imagine growing up and remembering the one time Uncle Derrick took pictures with you and then took your family out to a nice dinner.

And then you realize they were just using your likeness to push restrictions of reproductive rights.

I hope you meant "much like with foreign people" and don't actually mean to say that foreign people don't pursue understanding and instead lash out.

It's interesting that Wikipedia says it's pronounced " S-Q-L" but was historically pronounced "sequel."

Also interesting, MySQL says on their site:

The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we do not mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.

Lastly, for those curious, PostgreSQL says on their site:

PostgreSQL is pronounced Post-Gres-Q-L.

If anything, being very strict about food intake usually leads to unhealthy eating behavior, at least according to every person I know who has issues with food in either direction. Including myself.

Bastion has a slew of great soundtracks and environments, and I found the story very impactful. Highly recommend trying the game if you can!

If OP said "Bitch, I blah blah blah" then it could be argued that it's a figure of speech and not directed towards the waitress... but OP said "Fucking bitch" with no comma, so it's clearly directed at her.

Fair enough, my sentiment was towards liberal arts schools in general. Transylvania University is quite a name.

No no no, you don't understand! Liberal Arts colleges are infested with leftist agents and propaganda, and one could never gain anything of value studying there!

Unless, of course, you're a conservative man who studied economics there; then, your education makes you knowledgable and impressive. Of course, of course...

IEEE is in shambles right now!

Ordered a pair of Moondrop Chu IEMs, mostly for the eartips that come with them. Pair was defective, so I contacted the seller and demonstrated that one ear doesn't work. Got a full refund without return, ordered a new pair, and ended up with two sets of those eartips.

I gave away the second pair equipped with generic eartips to a friend who recently broke his earbuds. I also snipped the dead earbud, heatshrunk the wires, and I use the single earbud for when I'm washing the dishes or doing the laundry. Very nice outcome for me!

Redout 1 and 2 are great fun if I'm in the mood for lap times, but I hate racing against the NPCs.
