You’re really on a roll with all of this pedanting.

My yard begs to differ.

A Pyrrhic victory is still a victory.

I’m not sure “shut up and fuck… or else” counts as actual policy.

“Regulator angers capital for doing their job” is one of my favorite headlines.

“Today’s findings show that the Lexington Police Department abandoned continued its sacred position of mistrust in the community by routinely violating the constitutional rights of those it was sworn to must bind but not protect,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said.

“FTFY” doesn’t apply here. It’s still fucked, but it’s more accurate.

the latter features eight additional seconds of unrated footage.

Confused about eight seconds of footage being a selling point, but intrigued nonetheless.

With nobody to use it on. He likely outlived the cretins that framed him.

The devs said at one point that some of the ideas in ToTK were supposed to be DLC at one point.

That’s it. That’s all some people are processing. “Oh it’s just DLC.” Facts don’t matter. It doesn’t matter that the reason it wasn’t DLC was that they kept expanding on the ideas. It doesn’t matter that the final product was a full game. “But they reused the map!!! 😡😡😡😡”

The “it’s just DLC lol” nonsense will persist until the end of time.

At least one neighbor has a stock box holding down the fort.

It was nice knowing you. Looking forward to meeting your AI replacement.

“Fun” fact: Bain Capital killed both TRU and KayBee Toys.

Kurzgesagt videos.

This is really the only part of your rant that I was familiar with. So I can confirm: Kurzgesagt really is one of the best things you can spend time watching.

The local cable monopoly supplies modem/router/AP combos that broadcast unsecured WiFi hot spots. For “convenience” of its customers.

Pre-submission edit: there may be an authentication page upon connecting to verify that you’re a legit customer. I’ve never tried it personally and have no intention on doing so.

Interesting choice of 1st officer.

Please don’t, we have enough. No need to excavate more.
