Let them ruin their own experience? Or it’ll make Elden Ring much more accessible to casual players.

If you have children, remind yourself that you want to be around for as many of their achievements as possible.

Aldi is so rad and they have the best chocolate.

I definitely recommend turning on List view in the settings. The default card view is okay but it only lets you see 1-2 things at a time vs 5-6.

When Reddit went to shit I turned to RSS to get my daily news. After trying many different iOS apps, all of which either sucked or had a monthly fee, I came across one called feeeed.

It has become one of my favorite apps and I highly recommend it. It’s free and extremely well designed! I believe its creator also works on the Arc browser team.

I soft quit Reddit last year and deleted all my profile’s comments and posts. I only kept it around because I had heard Reddit was restoring deleted posts and I wanted to make sure mine were gone for good. After several months I stopped checking.

This article made me finally pull the trigger and go in to delete my account. Surprise surprise, two pages of old comments had been restored.

Sure, that sucks. But I’m not saying there are zero downsides, I’m specifically countering the argument that there are “no good reasons” with my personal good reasons.

Thats precisely what I’m referring to- these things being possible when you’re inside of a store, restaurant, or an extreme case like you parked at the airport for a trip.

The fob won’t work if you’re deep inside a store, will it? Same for checking the mirrors.

That’s a very subjective take. My friends and family that live in hot climates love the ability to remotely turn on and pre-cool their vehicles. I appreciate being able to check if I remembered to lock the doors.

It’s a pretty neat idea, although currently the bots only reply to your posts. If you don’t say anything, nothing happens. It would be cool if the bots could converse with each other about random topics.

I bought $1 of bitcoin around 5 years ago just to see what would happen with it. It’s now worth $6.70. Do I regret not investing more? Ehh no.

You can uninstall a lot of Apple’s apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone. Not all of them, but a surprising amount.

This is bait

Protect your hearing. Listen to loud music in moderation and use earplugs in loud environments.

Jean creamer. Even the cheap stuff works wonders.

I went back and looked at the articles I had read and dug a little deeper to get to an interview with Lilly Wachowski herself:

Continuing on The Matrix**, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —**

No, I didn’t.

You didn’t? Tell me more.

Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrixquestions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

To be honest, her statement doesn’t seem like either a denial or confirmation to me so 🤷‍♂️

From what I’ve read, The Matrix wasn’t created as a trans allegory, it’s just that you can apply the fundamentals of its story to many concepts. One of the most popular interpretations happens to be gender identity because its creators transitioned years after the original trilogy ended.

Meta Quest 3. I had been saving for a Valve Index but I was getting impatient. Turns out it was an amazing buy and (for me personally) having an untethered headset was more important than I realized. My computer room is small but my living room has plenty of space. Plus the Steam Link app works so well nowadays I can still play Steam VR games but wirelessly anywhere in my house. Pretty awesome deal for something that costed half the price.

It’s likely because the Quest runs Android and we already have Android ports of San Andreas, which would have expedited things theoretically.
