Milyen a Bitwarden-hez képest?

I do when I'm in a hurry. It's not as good as the real one but gets the job done when I really need it.

A ban usually means that the account is closed forever, while a suspension is temporary.

But even if it's not, brands like to distinguish themselves by using different lingo to their competitors. For example, even though Lemmy ~~is a Reddit clone~~ is heavily inspired by Reddit, they use different words like community instead of sublemmy.

Just started Dragon Age Origins, I'm still at the tutorial level but it looks like a game I'd enjoy.

It's also ok to support neither or to say it's too complicated to pick a side.

It doesn't bother me unless you go super slow, which is rare.

Notable Thief Rule could be Grand Theft Auto?

Notable - grand and thief - theft make sense, I don't know what to think about rule - auto, tho.

Edit: I think it's Notable Thief Auto, not Rule, so it all comes together now.

Also, Alloy Cog Stable is Metal Gear Solid

I'm not an expert on American politics but my impression is that there are a bunch of people with conservative attitudes towards change, and politicians know exactly how to play them.

They get riled up with the proper slogans and become what you have described. I'm not saying they are innocent victims here, they definitely should know better and everything they do is on them, but I still think this is mostly what's going on.

It's not really about that, sometimes conservatives also agree that a change is needed but they disagree on how to get there.

They see the current state as something that was built up naturally over a long period of time and everything has its place for a reason. Sometimes those reasons are not apparent immediately and making a sudden change will bite us in the long run in an unexpected way, maybe 100 years down the road.

They might agree that the status quo is bad but they think change should come gradually in small steps, allowing things to settle down a bit, and reflect on the consequences before moving forward. They might say that at least we understand the situation and the rules of what we have now, we shouldn't stray too far ahead into the unknown.

For example, imagine that you live in a country under foreign rule. Should you start a war of independence and risk getting crushed or should you try to force concessions gradually over time and risk not getting anywhere? This is roughly the debate that took place in my home country in the 1800s.

While it's true that the extremes are that conservatives want time to stay still while progressives want to burn the world down and reform everything in a single day, but most of the time people are somewhere in between, or even change their positions depending on the issue.

Conservatives (with a lowercase 'c', I'm not talking about Republicans) prefer a series of small incremental changes over a longer period of time while progressives believe in big leaps. Both are valid viewpoints depending on the issue, sometimes we should take things slowly but other times we needed that change yesterday.

Asking titles has been around for a long time so conservatives are ok with it. It also conforms to their existing ideas about gender and roles in society.

Asking for pronouns is a relatively new thing and the whole debate around them is a big and sudden change (at least as far as they see), and it turns everything they believed in on its head.

Of course, there are people who are just plain hateful but I think there's more nuance to it than that most of the time.

It's worth noting that a huge part of their manufacturing takes place outside of Germany where salaries are way lower and regulations aren't as strict.

 

I recently dusted off my old Guild Wars 2 account after YouTube recommend some videos of it.

I was a huge fan of Guild Wars 1, I especially loved its skill system. You had hundreds of skills available but you could only equip 8 at a time. This forced you to think carefully and craft builds, which was half the fun. There were some skills that were only available once you defeated some hard elite enemies, which was also a fun challenge.

When GW2 released I bought the game on the first week, but the skill system was very underwhelming for me. A huge part of why I loved GW1 was not there in the sequel, so I quickly stopped playing.

Around 10 years later I logged in again and created a new character. I'm aware that there were tons of changes made to the game but the very early game stayed pretty much the same (as far as I remember). However, the way I experienced it was very different.

It no longer bothered me that you only have a fraction of the skills available. I'm 10 years older than I was when I first played it and I have much less time. This means that I appreciate not having to spend days to craft a character, I can just go out and enjoy the game.

The story is also pretty good, I've heard that GW2 is one of the few MMOs where the early game is also as much fun as the late game, and it seems to be true. I don't feel like I have to rush to max level to have fun.

Have you ever had a similar experience?
