My wife uses it to get up-to-the-minute updates when there's power outages, flash flood warnings, fires, and other pertinent information during emergencies or natural disasters. You can't find that information anywhere else.

Are you fucking serious? No where else, huh. Only Twitter.

Arguing about this sort of thing online is always so dumb. Yeah, it's easy to analyze the situation and formulate what the perfect solutions would have been when you're sitting at home safely on your computer reviewing every angle of a video and not actually in an intense, instantaneous fight or flight situation.

Do some of you guys just spend your day staring at your driveway or something?

I've noticed some people leave their windows open and I think some people, especially older people, honestly do watch their lawns and driveways all day. I don't think I would ever noticed if someone used mine.

What do you mean gobbled up? It had a massive amount of refund requests, so much that I believe Sony and MS had expanded refund policies specifically for the game since it had so many. If you mean like pre-orders, it's not hard to imagine why everyone was hyped, it was promised as this beautiful and massive cyberpunk game coming off the heels of what many consider to be one of the GOAT games and I remember it reviewing very well.

There's still a lot of great rock music out there. Why it isn't as big as it once was, I don't know. Maybe lack of promotion now or something, and a lot of people in the rock music world can't move on past the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

It's pretty obviously misleading because it makes you think weight loss done in a healthy way impacts the mortality of older adults before it finally discusses that they mean unintended weight loss most likely due to other physical or mental health factors. People are just going to read the headline and go "see! It's better to stay fat! No exercise or healthy eating for this guy!"

I bet all the minorities and LGBTQ+ and everyone else within these companies is getting a fair slice of that profitable pie and everyone is prospering.

Or all these companies are virtue signaling and the people at the top are raking in the cash and making sure all the minorities and LGBTQ+ and everyone else in their company see no pay raises and fight any unionization and benefits, but now they have characters they can relate to and #'s to follow.

Yeah, I have a Kindle, and I love it.

I don't have to tap a "no tip" sticker on a tip jar.

You still look at it and ignore it, don't you? Hit "no tip" and proudly be on your way.

Just fucking hit "No tip", why is that so damn hard? What's the difference between a touch screen and a tip jar that these places have had forever? If it's a restaurant with wait service, tip 10 to 15% if you want. No one has a gun to your head. It's not your job to "support" everyone you come across.

What kind of lame asshole makes an anti-upskirt game mod?

Then stop doing that stuff?

People outside of the Internet aren't usually hyper-obsessed with politics to an insane degree where it's the only thing they're capable of talking about. It gets exhausting. And most people just want a friendly co-existence and not a constant frothing politics battle where neither side is going to change their views anyway. Especially if you're in a professional setting or a big group get-together.

Late 30s and I have a physical job so I get little pains here and there, but no, I don't have any consistent, ongoing pain in my joints or back.

Sometimes people just get busy and forget to reply

This. Some of you are so damn clingy and must have nothing going on. I forget to text people back often because I don't want to spend all day glued to my phone or I don't feel like being social and enjoying some me time or I just have shit to do and I'm not going to focus on instantly texting you back to spare your feelings.

But also, you could be profoundly uninteresting and people find it a chore to talk to you.

The Matrix is the only one that I can think of. Amazing movie but I heard the sequels were eh so I never bothered.

Cause it's good to have emergency funds? You never know when expensive shit will just break, or if you'll get fired/laid off.

About as offensive as using GIFs and memes of white people looking super nerdy or redneck-y. They just say this stupid shit because it gets a billion views and comments. I remember seeing an article posted once that white main characters in books is racist. Feels like some of these people have a dartboard and go "let's see what's racist today".

The only thing I think it did better than recent Fallout was the dialog options. That part of it was fun, had a lot of variety how to respond.

The first part of it was kinda annoying, though. Felt like some kid off the Internet wanted to grab me by the shirt and shake me screaming "CAPITALISM IS BAD!!"

I wanted to like it but it just got boring. If I remember right, it was fairly low-budget, though. I think if Microsoft throws more money into a sequel, it might be a challenger to Fallout.

I don't care for their music but I don't think the name is bad at all.

My aunt's name is Karen and she is the literal definition of what we consider a Karen, short haircut and entitled attitude and all, so the whole thing amuses me greatly.

I'm vaccinated and boosted, so no, don't care about it anymore. Feel like it's mostly the shut-ins that really want people to mask forever and the world locked down for 5+ years.

sounds like a cope from ugly lonely people.

YOU SEE THIS SUCCESSFUL YOUTUBER AND HIS GIRLFRIEND? EVEN THOUGH HE CONSTANTLY UPLOADS CONTENT WITH HIM AND HIS FRIENDS HAVING FUN HE IS ACTUALLY DEPRESSED AND FEELS THE CONSTANT PRESSURE TO BE PERFECT! HE WOULD GLADLY SWAP PLACES WITH AN AVERAGE JOE IF HE COULD!!!

You mock, but there's quite a few celebrities that either kill themselves or go down a path of hard drugs or end up real fucked in the head. And hopefully you're old enough to understand that what people upload for the public to see is not always what is happening in reality.

Anyway, I feel like being a pretty girl would kind of suck ass. You're constantly harassed and stalked by creepy ass dudes.

First game was pretty good. A bit too long for me and got kind of repetitive, but it was fun from what I played.

I'd probably glare at her. One of my pet peeves is when people force conversation on me while I'm trying to read.

Probably yes and no. I think it's a human thing with any piece of media. Sometimes the author/songwriter/whatever didn't intend any deeper meaning but people make it something deeper than it is, but some authors/songwriters/whatever do create with the intention of having some meaning to their craft.

There seems to be some Internet movement to analyze any depth as pretentious. Like with the curtains are blue thing, a lot of great writers incorporate techniques like metaphors and symbolism. All throughout human history, emotional states have been linked to colors and weather and personalities compared to animals, etc. One of the basics of good storytelling is Show, Don't Tell: blue curtains are a good way of expressing depression instead of just writing "John is depressed and sad" and if they're going out of their way to describe the interior decoration, it probably means something.

I love books and classic literature, and I always enjoyed book discussions in class. Maybe they were making shit up and talking out of their ass, but they did sometimes give me new ways to think about certain stories and gave them some more depth.

It's my duty as an American to tell those South Koreans how they should act.

Is this a one lane road? Just go around them. Sometimes I go slower on empty roads 'cause there's a greater chance of a bored cop you don't see pulling you over for speeding any little bit.

On this site, it's the number 1 board for Xbox and number 9 for PS5, so people are still talking about it. Major discussion of single player games usually fades out until there's DLC. Multiplayer games are usually always updating either content or nerfing/buffing things so there's usually always something to talk about.

This is a "normal" woman to people who don't look at normal women. Go outside or go on Tinder and count how many "normal" women look like rugged men. Western devs are so up their own ass about beauty standards or whatever that femininity is misogynist.

Depends. If you're just starting out, you're all about that money. Once you've got some years under your belt and you've got a comfortable amount of money to live on with some nice savings, I think vacation time and work-life balance and benefits become more important than just the paycheck alone. At this point in my life, I could move up and make a ton of money, but it's a ton more hours. I'm living comfortably and rather have that free time than more money.

I went to the mall recently and EVERY teenage boy had that exact same hairstyle. It was kind of amazing to see. I can't really hate, I think it looks dumb but my generation had their copy-cat styles. Back in 2000, EVERY dude had bleached blonde spiked hair.

The magic looked cool, and I thought the complaints about the language were way way overblown, but everything else looked so bland.

No kids, never will have kids, and life is grand. I don't need a "purpose" or a "legacy".

Yeah, I think they're fun, but it's something I'd only do maybe once a year with friends.

I like small cars, SUVs, and big trucks. Seems kinda small dick energy to rage about larger vehicles.

Stephen King needs to get on the sensitivity bandwagon. If we took out all the racism and homophobia and fatphobia and domestic violence and sexism and sexuality, we can turn IT from like a 1200 page tome to a 20 page novella.

They rebooted that show, too? They really just want to reboot everything from the 80s and 90s and make sure to suck all the soul and fun out of them, don't they.

You sound insufferable.

I dunno, I always felt like being good got you less rewards. Usually when you're bad and finish a quest, you're like "I demand money for my time and I might keep what I found on my quest" while being good you're usually like "I went out of my way into the Pit of Despair and fought the God of All Monsters just to bring back a locket you lost and see a smile on your face! Bye friend!".

Witcher 3 always tried to make you feel like a greedy, evil bastard for negotiating some compensation to kill a monster that was killing every person and animal in that villager's village.

How the fuck do you get bullied by Internet trolls? It's like walking down the street letting some mangy dog of a human being push you around.

Whenever they dropped all the mask mandates everywhere. I threw that thing away as soon as I could.

Don't give a shit about her but I bought a bidet during the Great Toilet Paper Crisis of 2020 and I honestly think it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. I feel like a savage if I have to shit anywhere else besides home and have to wipe the old way. It's faster than just wiping and feels so much cleaner every single time.

Ummm, no. People seem to think that because fictional TV shows showed shit like that. It was probably easier to support all that with one good, above minimum wage job but the teenager working at Chicken Shack wasn't buying homes and cars and supporting a family.
