I’m hoping he departs for Mars and is never seen or heard from again.

Honestly, I thought about taking the time to adjust lighting on the pacifier, but instead decided to get the post out. Now I wish I’d taken another pass

Can we all just take a minute and observe that the top photo is pretty decent photoshop work? The pacifier is so-so, but the baby sun hat is a pretty convincing sell.  Just needs a little more edge blur and depth of field.  Nice!

I might be able to muster up some empathy if all his problems weren’t knowingly and willingly self inflicted.

I’ve played about an hour so far, but I’m pretty disappointed. The physics are pretty good, if a little understeer-y, but that can be tuned out easily enough. There is a TREMENDOUS amount of hand-holding though, which is really annoying. Like yes, I understand that modifying my car will increase its performance, thank…

indeed , the mandate was not that long. she acts like its been years upon years. And saying i am anti vax thats why they banned me. sounds the same like...i am not racist, its just freedom of speech.

The mandate was also only in effect for about a year for the film industry so it seems hard to believe that’s the only reason she was broke.

“I hope you’re never in the fucking position I’m in.”

That position being, refusing to protect yourself and others from a deadly pandemic, at the expense of your career, and then acting like YOU’RE the victim?

Thankfully, I will never be in the fucking position you’re in.

“taking someone’s $70 one time and giving them a game for the rest of their lives”

The ‘playwall’ is by far the worst thing about modern Forza games. Having to do that every week in Horizon 5 for the new cars is basically the only reason I play the game. I guess that’s their intent, to get the player base consistently coming back, but I can’t even care about the main game (what little there is of…

The fact that they’re leaning heavily into the whole service aspect is what’s pushing me to not buy this one. I’ve bought all of the previous ones and even have the collector’s edition for FM2 which wasn’t even sold in the US and I have the Best Buy demo disc for the first one.

According to a traffic engineer I knew in a city in the SW (in the 90's) they intentionally left those buttons disconnected. His words were to the effect of:
It gives them something to do while they wait for the lights to change. Actually integrating those buttons into the control system is next to impossible without…

But businesses can self regulate!

My biggest knock is that I don’t want to be forced to hand various people my phone any time they need to see my ID. Most of all, being forced to give a cop an unlocked phone.

Airlines do NOT hold a flight for someone connecting if that person has not checked in at their arrival desk to have that arrival gate desk call the departure gate desk so the flight would NEVER be held for this passenger who left the airport. I missed a connecting flight during the Christmas/New Years holidays in…

Dang, you’re lucky. I can’t recall even flying on a non-full flight.

This is almost as unamerican as HOAs. If someone buys something, it is theirs to do with as they please. They can use it, or they can not use it, but the seller shouldn’t be able to force them to do anything, otherwise they shouldn’t be selling the thing.

If he had payed the higher one-way direct flight fare, would he have been on the same flight at the same time, to the same destination?

I couldn’t agree more. I did something like this many years ago when trying to get from Oslo to Vienna for a reasonable price. It was a bit different though - a round trip was cheaper than a one-way trip so I booked the round trip and didn’t take the flight back to Oslo.

An empty seat is a ticket unsold to the money minds who make air travel tick.
