That's fair. Sounds like a very reasonable way to explain it to the kids' parents, too, if you get the occasion.

Start handing out kazoos.

Can I non-jokingly ask why that's such a big deal? If it's all up in your grill I get it, or some stupid liability thing. Otherwise, there's little enough joy in the world, what's the harm?

Now the ducks colonize the moat and you have two attractions. You may or may not also need a third - a drawbridge - for your own access.

Yes - unexpectedly, on a game that's pretty much a decade old. Modders are not expected to maintain stuff that long, because when does that ever happen?

Then it's just... badly executed at that.

Really more of a middlelord at most.

"You're welcome" was always taught to me as the proper thing, but sounds slightly stilted. They express the same sentiment, roughly, but "[it was] no problem" is arguably clearer about it. I personally just think it's a slightly "nicer" nuance.

Of course, sometimes maybe it actually was a problem, and then I'd only say it if going out of my way to be nice about it.

They really will keep pushing this until it's 1% content, 5% sponsorshit, and the remainder ads that are injected straight into your eyeballs like Pulp Fiction. With a fire hose.

Tried showing some people some YT videos on a "smart TV", instead of my usual uBO+SponsorBlock+BlockTube on a PC. It is fucking awful. It verges on being literally unfuckingusable by being so much of a bitch it's easier to just not watch anything on it.

It's not like that's a worse metric than MBTI

I'd assume they were trying to pimp me to some buzzwordoholic. I don't see any reasonable interpretation of it that's insulting, though.

Having it be (perceived as) the norm is absolutely stupid - but the issue is with ignorant management and recruiters, not people who get into entire stacks honestly for fun or profit.

That is probably literally Filch, poor bastard.

So where in Florida was this?

Damn, I hate it when bathroom supplies don't available.
