I pronounce them the same. Grew up on the west coast.

What? Of course I pet random dogs on the street. You don’t?

I mean, I ask first, if they’re with a human… if not, well…

Days gone gets a lot of hate but I thought it was a blast and the motorcycle travel was such a great game mechanic.

I couldn’t finish Alan Wake. I really enjoyed the story but the game play was just too kludgy.

There are absolutely, unequivocally, killers for hire. You just aren’t going to find them on the hitman equivalent of Amazon dot fucking com.

A shawarma is very similar to a gyro, both are wrapped in a pita like bread (although I don’t think the shawarma bread is called pita). A shawarma tends to have spicier ingredients compared to a gyro, and originates from the Middle East.

No! Didn’t even know about it even though I’ve been gaming since 85

Yo at least let them have the grape flavored “nutrient packs” while you’re at it…

Maybe so! I had not heard that. So perhaps the best route is to play through a second time, with the update 2.0 patch and dlc, and play the dlc storyline after the main story has concluded.

I’ve been playing Prey. Just finished replaying Dishonored a few weeks ago, which led to playing dishonored 2 and death of the outsider. So, I was feeling a stealth sim and decided that after several years of owning the game I should give it a shot. It’s been fun so far.

GOG allows you to play rolled back versions of a game, through the launcher. I don’t believe steam has that capability.

From what I understand you want to play the DLC after you finished the main game

No fucking clue myself but isn’t airdrop an iPhone thing?

It would be useful if you live in the United States, or any of the dozens of countries that use the system either as a standalone measurement of temperature or as part of a dual system. The British Virgin Islands, Antigua, Barbuda, the Bahamas… Etc.

I find it actually kind of a fun way to start a conversation with anyone outside of the U.S. by attempting to convert my local weather to Celsius. I’m on international calls fairly regularly and (can’t blame anyone for this) telling anyone outside the US or the countries above the temperature in fahrenheit is like speaking a foreign language.

Personally whenever I go to Instagram all I get are cat videos and ads about “targeted mushrooms” and kava drinks…

It all checks out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah my wife is convinced he wasn’t on the plane and this is subterfuge. I think Putin had him shot down to make a point, as he’s done with pretty much every other real threat he’s encountered.

We may never know…

Omg I’m not a crackhead but I did enjoy hitting the ski slopes in my 20s and I knew exactly what you meant right away

They remained more affordable, for a time. And then housing prices went right back through the roof.

I bought a foreclosed house in 2012 for ~280k. It had been purchased by the previous owner for about 480k.

I put about 150k into it, 100k the first year to make it a liveable property, and 50k or so over the next ten years.

I sold it last year for about 850k…

I then bought a new house that cost about 450k when it was built 4 years ago, for about 680k, in a less expensive market.

I think you’re right and she was confused but that sort of illustrates the point. If someone is arguing a fallacy that is easily proven a fallacy then it indicates to me that they are generally going to be an unreliable source of information.

This.

I had someone the other day tell me the Tiananmen “tank man” incident never happened. We were discussing cognitive biases and she used this as an example of confirmation bias. But naturally she was arguing that anyone who didn’t share her world view suffered from confirmation bias.

When I said “the incident did happen and there’s photographic evidence” she told me "Google it there’s no photo "

Well, we googled it and there is, in fact, a photo. There’s more than one, actually.

I decided that presenting facts no longer was the point of the conversation when she shifted to the argument “that photo is known to be staged.”
