TRUTH to that. Which is why one of my unspoken rules, for myself, is to always be 2 hours early. (side story alert)

I think standing up is fine, just don’t be the person who tries to force ahead of the people sitting ahead of you. 

When I used to run cafes, nothing would be more frustrating then getting a bad review* than when the problem was never brought to our attention in the first place and was easily fixable. And it’s so frustratingly common, because mistakes happen.

Because I can think critically, I can move beyond the tone of one article, from one writer.

I mean, you’re describing digital TCGs.

I see absolutely no part of that quoted sentence which is telling you what you are supposed to think...

The only 2 of these I’ve ever heard of, tbh, are the hooves for gelatin and the chemicals for fast food ones...

I’m legitimately surprised Genshin isn’t on this list. It never would have existed if not for BoTW, its DNA is so tied to it. 

Also, a lot of these tips are ultimately tips to move away from language which is socialized as more feminine (particularly around hedging words, filler words, whatever, no worries).

I don’t even agree with that as an absolute. I totally get what you are saying, and I’m not disagreeing that it’s fine to simply say “checking in on this.”

Nintendo exists in a relatively distinct space from other gaming ecosystems, so it stands apart. Most multi-platform games, unless they are indies, don’t come to the Switch. And the rare non-Indie that does usually sells poorly, because USUALLY they run super poorly, a la Mortal Kombar or Witcher 3. Most multiplatform…

The problem is that you’re comparing players to sales.

I have nothing to say about the larger point you’re making, because I don’t follow SE news in general, but I do think you’re misinterpreting your FF7R numbers.

which is somehow still better than every other streaming service. bleak

I haven’t seen all the films on this list, but I’m always surprised by how some of them are misinterpreted. Because none of the movies are particularly subtle about their messaging.

Yeah, I always find it FASCINATING when people hate her performance when, to me, it’s stellar.

Yeah, and that would be valid.... if literally anyone EVERY combined this rhetoric with a counterexample about that demonstrates how they are the backhoe to the shovel.

There’s a fundamental difference there. In the “Good German” scenario, we’re talking about something that happened over the course of years and it happened within their own borders, down the road from their villages. The railways used to transport Jewish (and otherwise) prisoners ran through their towns. And the…

I do get this equivocation, but I think there’s something dangerous in it.
