I don't think this is what the smart people meant when they said neuroplasticity is a good thing...

Hope they enjoy getting their faces eaten!

Please let it be AI.

Fuck these developers.

I mean, the bar is on the ground at this point at best.

It was a painful process, having my love of Pokémon games slowly stripped away until I finally gave up on them. It's hard giving up on something that you've loved from childhood. Pokémon used to be my comfort game and it's now unplayable trash.

The only reason I still have my Switch at all right now is the Zelda franchise because I currently lack the means to emulate. And the occasional sale item from the eShop because I'm not paying full price for a Switch game ever again after they ruined Pokémon.

I'm surprised no one's brought up the hellscape we know as the Nintendo eShop. It's >90% trash.

Alcoholic brain worm confirmed

I don't think there are any vegans in The British Miracle Meat but I could be wrong. It says a lot about the state of everything that people actually thought it was real!

This. I worked in a call centre for a while. Service was not the priority, speed was. I got in trouble for staying on the line to actually resolve a customer's issue because it took a long time (basically ended up having to do a conference call with the third party who had fucked up). I left that job ASAP because fuck that.

In descending order of good privacy:

• Tor (not necessary for the majority of use-cases)
• Hardened Firefox (you can find tutorials for this with a quick Google)
• Mullvad
• Librewolf
• Brave (yes there's controversy about crypto and the founder being a dick, it's still miles better than Chrome)
• Everything else
• Chrome itself (seriously, don't use Chrome)

My number 1 recommended plugin for privacy and getting rid of ads is always ✨ uBlock Origin ✨ (not uBlock, that's not the one by the OG dev).

Eugh.

Did you mean to say American for one of those systems? England is part of Great Britain.

On the ground floor, you're standing on the ground which has been covered by a (hopefully nice) floor.

Eh, I find it easier. If someone says second floor, I know that's two flights of stairs I need to go up.

Then we would think it's a three-storey building. Really don't see the issue with calling the ground level what it is. The ground floor is zero levels above the ground. The first floor is one level above the ground. Think of it like this: how many flights of stairs does it take to get to that floor?

Example: my local hospital lists a ward I visited as being on the second floor, therefore you go up two flights of stairs to get to it.

Yes, a single storey does have a floor. We call it the ground.

With a latte, it's just normal steamed milk. A cappuccino has foamy steamed milk. Specifically, it has an equal volume of steamed milk and foam taking up space in the cup. You get more actual milk diluting the coffee in a latte, resulting in a milder drink.

We need a t-shirt that says this.

We need them in most residential areas honestly. I live by a main road in my town and there's so many people with these cars in the wee hours of the morning. I hate them.

They can pry panto from my cold dead hands.

Dagnabbit you've got me there!
