I’ll open a bottle of something nice when this happens, along with doing a happy dance, but I think that cork is staying put for now.

I’ve been deeply disappointed by Take-Two and its CEO for years.

I was originally thinking of grabbing parts as they go on sale finally (this PC is from 2018ish, I think, and I guess I could upgrade some bits), but I think I’m just going to wait and get a laptop. In part because I do less gaming, the gaming is less intense, and I’m thinking about trying to spend part of the year living outside of Japan which would make the logistics of shipping a heavy full tower around (or even mid if I downsized) just too much of a headache. Still not 100% sure, though.

Yeah, Japan is similar to this as well. I’ve had positive experiences all around, but I know some who have not (especially with corona which really worried me for how prepared we are).

Who steals a porch? Seriously, the nerve!

I work in Japan and get paid in yen so that seems unlikely. Indeed. I am basically at the median us salary with the exchange rate. I’ve bought two phones in the last 11 years (and won’t replace my pixel 6 until it dies). I also work two jobs.

I’ve never felt like I fully belonged anywhere. It doesn’t really bother me anymore most of the time.

I said it aloud and still didn’t get it. I assumed it was something about case/queso.

Xennial here. I got rid of most social media years ago (FB, twitter, etc.) and never signed up for a lot of others. I’m replacing my google pixel watch with a pebble. I’m open to ditching my android google phone as well once something works properly with all the Japanese government and banking services. Thinking about how to degoogle.

It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows back in the '80s and '90s, but I definitely feel like we should take back some of our balance, security, and comfort (though streaming and recording video can stay).

My pepper grinder is clear (except for the actual grinding mechanism, of course)

Worse is a comparative and worst is the superlative. So, without something to compare to, using the comparative is a bit odd (though, at least for this phrase, I think anyone would understand what was meant).

I have no idea who “The Weekend” is.
