The straw one is dumb - I’m not a mathematician, so I have no idea if this holds any water theoretically, but isn’t a 2d circle “filled”? Like, in Photoshop, you can draw a filled in “circle” or a “ring” which is just the outline of the circle, with nothing in the middle. So if a straw is the latter, not a circle, but…

Nah, thats not controversial. That sounds like a really good idea that I, and the people that have starred you, appear to be 100% on board with. Mouthing off used to come with consequences, aka, a meeting of fists to face, which is why so many people now seem so shocked when some BS they posted online comes back to…

Also, what games can it play? All the brainwashed crypto-bros can’t answer that because there are none. And no bullshit vague, wishy-washy answer can ever get around that.

Contra is not hard - when it was literally the only game I had on my NES, my bro and I played it so much we could eventually beat it on a single life each in co-op. Its actually predictable and not dependent on pixel perfect jumps. Ghost & Goblins? FUCK THAT GAME.

I’d never heard of Harry Mack because I’m an old, but damn, that dude can spit thunder, unlike the shitty dime-a-dozen mumble rappers that top the charts now. Fuck those dudes.

Cool story bro, why don’t you go down to Disney HQ, get a writing job with them and do better? Easy to armchair write and criticize when you have literally zero credibility to validate what constitutes “incompetence”.

Ahem, Ugly “Mainland” Chinese please. Taiwanese tourists are fine, as are ethnically Chinese but from abroad Chinese people (ie. Chinese American, UK Chinese etc).

This was a great article until you mentioned ditching a fancy French restaurant for some nonsense “thanksgiving” dinner instead. Dude, you’re in Paris. The food there is incredible, even the most average looking diner is good - and you passed on that for some faux fusion? Source: been there dozens of times

I don’t understand why Hooters is still a thing. I guess because its explicitly obvious about having busty waitresses in skimpy clothing, but honestly, my local Moxies has the same thing if you go on a Friday or Saturday night, except their clothing is all black, in an attempt to look “professional”.

It costs nothing, but to these mentally deficient shitbags, its never a win-win - if you acknowledge someone else’s rights, that means you MUST have taken some from me. Never mind that recognizing someone’s fundamental rights that have been denied to them is just the right thing to do, but also costs nothing, to these…

So basically he’s really good at transcribing existing music? Yup, confirms that mentally unstable dipshit is also a talentless shitbag.

I wish it didn’t take a worldwide pandemic to have people re-evaluate the social idiocy that is “I have to move out when I’m 18 or I am somehow a failure as an adult”. As an Asian, its totally normal to live with your folks, sometimes until you get married, even more so in Asia (its still a bit unusual in North…

Why not just click past the monetization? I’ve been playing a Dragonball Z gacha game for the past 6 years and haven’t spent a penny, despite being constantly pestered to buy more in game currency to get better pulls. I still have a team that is competitive with the changing meta and its enjoyable. I was doing the…

Micro-transactions blow and I’ve personally never spent a single cent on them because they are usually for BS cosmetic upgrades. That said, based on the review of the final product, and my experience playing the beta, this game is more or less a full AAA release game, on par with the other Diablo’s in the series.…

I generally am not a fan of others using my phone, but how far does that discomfort go? I’m 100% fine with my kid and spouse (and generally, extended family) using my phone unattended. I’ll hand it to them and come back later when they are finished with it. If you are uncomfortable with that, your own literal,…

JFC, I realize that kids don’t have as much life experience as adults, but the fact that they can’t distinguish between “real” and genuine situations vs manufactured “industry” virality is mind boggling. It literally just takes a second to think “who benefits” whenever you see something questionable and that should…

Ah right, you’re the same kind of jerk off who says “Blue Lives Matter”. Highlighting one form of abuse does not in any way diminish or amplify the abuse another group suffers. Its all equally bad. Trying to make one “more” important just makes you “more” of a jerk.

I think it just depends on what type of music you are into. I’m older than you and recognize or could hum probably 70% of the songs on the list, but I have a very soft spot for modern pop music.

You sound like you are both well read and well travelled. I cannot believe you said skip Istanbul. There’s a lot of things I found annoying about the city, but the sheer history and variety of interesting architectural, cultural and religious sites is almost unmatched by any other city in the world.

I’ve visited pretty much all the “great” cathedrals and churches in Europe but aside from St. Peter’s which is of course, insane, Sainte Chapelle is my favorite for its quiet, contemplative beauty, especially if you catch it at the right time of day/weather.
