X-creting, not posting. Or would that be xitting (pronounced ‘zitting’).

I am rarely a hipster, but I was definitely on the “Musk is an asshole” bandwagon waaaaaaaaaaay back in the days of grabbing credit for PayPal and founding Tesla. He’s always been an asshole, but for the longest time his very loud fan club was willing to overlook the various indicators.
I never realized how important MtG was to the plumber community.
I used to specifically not want A/C in my cars back in the 90s living in Denver. It was never hot enough to need it. In the past years I’ve spent quite a few days sitting in stopped traffic in my open Jeep with the thermometer reading 104-107F. Once was behind an uncovered manure truck. Good times, good times.
Where I live now (further north from CO) there’s a massive junk yard with thousands of snowmobiles. Apparently my current area used to be a mecca for snowmobiling in the 70s and 80s, with 1500 miles of snowmobile trails. It snows maybe 3 times a year now, average of 10 inches total per season. Neighbors all around me have every kind of motor toy imaginable, but I have not seen a single snowmobile. My snowblower hasn’t been seen use in over 4 years, and the city routinely forgets how to plow or sand streets.
Weather definitely got hotter year round over 3-4 decades. I’ll fight fellow Gen-X and boomers over this.
No, air conditioning is rare in Europe. Pretty much only hotels have it, and by far not all hotels. About 5% of private residences have A/C, even in southern regions of France, Spain and Italy.
Source: Wikipedia, and my kid that went to Italy and Greece and Germany for the previous few summers worth of heat waves.
Edit: Formal, government supplied cooling centers are a CA thing. Informal ones like shopping centers are more widespread in the U.S., but don’t really exist in Europe.
2 hours is enough to BEAT some games.
Normies can change if burned often enough. I am a filthy casual, and used to pre-order games. Between digital delivery and getting a few stinkers in my library I don’t feel the need, and haven’t for about a decade.
Industry will keep punishing those willing to pre-order until that behavior stops.
Swan Lake is all the entertainment Lapotnaya Rus’ needs. The Party will communicate everything, no need for comrades to talk to each other.
Elon views even previous, no longer employed workers as his slaves for life. The truly disturbing thing is he’s not the only one with that mindset.
Odds are it was written by ChatGPT or similar A.I. Been seeing a LOT of articles with odd mistakes or written in “A.I. voice” lately.
I’m also feeling more quality over quantity, as in the earlier days of Reddit. Ditto on broadening of interests, and more scrolling.
Perhaps that’s not all a good thing, but I’m rolling with it.
I jumped the gun and simply deleted my account, but this is 1337% more genius. Having the script pull from Bullshit Ipsum to edit years of linked and quoted posts would have been perfect.
I thought I was the only one to answer unknown calls using my best Barney Gumble impression (which is really, really good I’ve been told). If it’s a legit call I can pretend I was choked up due to allergies. If not, the telemarketer can continue to enjoy talking with Springfield’s best known alcoholic.
What’s worse is the login page re-directs to a home page, wiping out the comment I was making and navigating away from the thread I was browsing. I could deal with it if it expired my logins once a week or so (although reddit kept me logged in so long as I kept interacting daily), but multiple times a day is infuriating.
