That’s one way to tell people you don’t know much about your own language/culture. Because all of them have words or phrases that ignoramuses think are normal to most people.

86 is a common term in the hospitaly industry for “getting rid of”.

It sometimes refers to items out of stock, but it also refers to being kicked out or refused service at an establishment. Like someone being too drunk and getting thrown out of a bar can be said to have been “86’ed”.

Despite what many people think/have heard, most places do not have a specific law against doing loops in a roundabout. And when they do it is often a local ordinace(mostly small towns trying to prevent a local car community from driving up and down the main street all night). Although other laws or regulations can apply depending on circumstances.

Things like impeding/obstructing traffic, careless/reckless driving, noise ordinance, etc. But if you’re driving around one in an industrial area at night, the worst you’ll get is probably some accusing questions and a “warning”.

Maybe they meant the 1800s?

The basic fishing rod is basically a scam, in that it’s almost impossible to catch anything but the most basic fish. The “natural rod” you can buy from vendor takes 2 out of the 3 stats on the basic from 2->4 for almost nothing. And some fishing spots have an upgraded rod already.

As for how it works: It’s basically like fishing with a spinner. You throw it out and slowly reel it in as they swim towards lure/bait, and you pull/click as they bite. Then you pull the rod opposite the direction it’s swimming and try to reel in a bit at the same time(if it’s swimming towards you, just reel). As the line turns from green to red, you stop moving and reeling in to let the line “cool down” before doing it again until it’s at the shore(I often recommend standing a little bit into the water if it’s shallow, since standing too far back will prevent catches)…

There’s also different bait depending on wherer you are fishing; Mountain lake bait wont always in a river.

And once you have a hang of the basics, there are two quest chains that give you high level fishing rods.

I’m on the other side of the world from Microsoft HQ, and I can still hear the shouting.

Because this was basically a one way decision that will now block them from a lot of future contracts with governments, organizations and companies.

Then you come across a game like Far Cry 5, which is mainly about gunning down fanatics, like most Far Cry games. But it has surprsingly good fishing. Although it’s mainly down to the enviroment, the actual fishing mechanic isn’t amazing.

It captured that feeling of standing on the bank of a lazy river, seeing a deer through the foggy reeds in morning, as fish catch insects on the surface. Or watching over a mountain lake as the sun sets in the distant mountains and a bird circles overhead.

For me it heavily depends on the genre.

If it’s supposed to be understandable and they cut off words or mumble through multiple words, it really annoys me. Although I don’t really have a problem if I don’t understand all the words of a black metal song.

I was on one of those around 2000. Profiles were called crypts, instead of likes it was pentagrams and it was styled to look like it was written on parchment.

Yes.

Political bribery was effectively legalized in America in 2010 with the Citizens United v. FEC decision.

They copy-pasted text and personal logo.

If you think that’s “abstract enough”, I’m guessing you’re either a plagiarist or an “AI artist”. Or do you want to admit that you didn’t really look at the comparison images?

In reality we all know it wont do shit.

In Trump’s mind it will show the world what a glorious and powerful leader he is, and everyone will just do what he demands.

Are you a bot posting this on every thread? Or are you just here to feel outraged? Because this is a post about doing the opposite.

That’s because it’s a programmed response.

There literally is no concept of a joke in their algorithms, it’s an advanced chat bot basically going through a list of responses and comparing them similar questions it as analyzed, and spits out the answer that is likely to match.

Take a giant spreadsheet with two columns. First one is questions, and the second is responses. Compare queries against first column. When a close match is found, prints out what is in the second column. That’s an extreme simplification of what ChatGPT does. It was never programmer to know or understand what is in either column.

Boomers still think fast-food jobs are part-time things that teenagers do for some pocket change. They literally do not grasp the idea that there are adults working there to pay rent and buy food.

For context, my account is over 15 years old, it has over $6k spent, and almost all of that is in the last decade. And it still comes out to under $50 a month, with thousands of hours played across a bunch of games.

For comparison, I know people who spend much more on their hobbies with car, bicycle, home theater equipment, etc. each year

It’s literally been decades since I’ve seen it, but I seem to remember that he got upset regularly when he was forced to participate with the family instead of playing outside.

As the old saying goes: Don’t feed the trolls.

Replying as if half the comment doesn’t exist and putting the word intelligent in quotes is a classic antagonizing move by trolls to make people try to engage them.

It’s banned in several European countries like Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Iceland and Greece. And it’s pending legislation in several others. As to why it wasn’t EU law already: Some of the legislations are pretty new so it wasn’t considered as something the majority would approve until they started implementing their own laws. On top of that several EU countries have pretty strong homophobic communities.

Countries like Poland. In 2020 the EU was witholding funding for parts of Poland, because they established “LGBT-free zones”. And the last one was only made invalid by the Administrative court last month.

Get your head out of your ass and learn to read. No one likes the “Uhm akshually, that’s not technically true” -guy. Especially when they’re techinically wrong(it’s not talking about no-logging for your entire browsing session, just that the VPN doesn’t store logs of your usage. And that is very much a thing, as proven by this court case).
