Thank you for the nuance. Bad data and hyperbole doesn’t help what I agreed is a serious issue.

I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but for a good read from a Villain perspective try A Practical Guide to Evil

People change at the speed of convenience. They are generally willing to put up with a convenient shitty product over being inconvenienced. And yes, switching to a superior product is often an inconvenience.

Go through all my RPG saves and use all the super powerful items I’ve been “saving” to finally see what they all do.

Second for GNUCash - there’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you get used to it, it works great!

Tell that to the Grim Sleeper!

“The Archon Toilet refers to a Protoss tactic unique to Wings of Liberty that combines the Mothership’s Vortex ability with the Archon’s high splash damage output to destroy large groups of enemy units quickly.”

Some people work to live, others live to work. Personally, I enjoy having a life completely separate from my career. I don’t know anyone who sits around Sunday afternoon saying, “All right, it’s almost MONDAY! Glad I got through the weekend!” And I like sleep, sleep is good.

It’s not specifically what you are requesting, but your comment reminds me how much I enjoy Fallout Radio. Great songs interspersed with fictional hosts discussing all manner of things. It’s just so nice to haveusic broken up with a little bit of banter.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Meta bought Oculus in 2014 and the Rift S didn’t come out until 2019, so you already have a Meta product. I understand if it’s more of a branding concern, and I love my Rift S as well, but it’s still a Meta headset.

Many people can be selfless and wonderful, true, but the people who are selfish and cruel often work hard to be in positions of power and authority regardless of the system.
