I've been using windows all my life and I've never seen anyone not say this about "their" version. Except ME. Fuck ME.

But seriously my dad refused to switch to Windows from DOS for the longest time. 95? The best. 98? Can't upgrade. Xp or die. 7 forever. 10 or bust. In 10 years it will be people clamoring over 11 and refusing to switch.

Every time I see Michael Caine in the news I have to watch this

This is the best measure (preventative). Carb heavy lunches will wreck you. Save the carbs for after work, fall asleep on the couch watching TV, then wake up with a sore back.

I'm not confused why they're doing it, I'm confused why they think b&m stores are the way to go. I'm sure they can subsidize any potential losses from other money making areas but why not just sell the merch online? Storefront overhead ain't cheap.

If this is wrong I don't wanna be right

Batter? I hardly know'er

Or prune juice: a warrior's drink

Who you have actively selected and control will determine what stats are used during conversations/cutscenes, IE if you need to do a charisma or intimidation or insight check it uses that character's stats. However certain cutscenes will use your main character (the one you selected when you started the game) no matter what.

Also passive checks throughout the world will use all characters but they need to be near the spot to use them so sometimes if your character you're controlling walks past a hidden cache somewhere and fails a perception check you can move your other characters into that spot and they'll all try. You can even go to camp and grab someone else for more chances if you really have some blind characters in your party.

When you frame it a certain way of course it sounds awful. Let me try the opposite.

Lae'zel has been indoctrinated since birth by a crazy religious and xenophobic culture. The second she's told she's being lied to she doesn't believe anyone because people don't change their mind about their entire belief system through one line of dialogue from a person she just met.

However after a few more hard facts being shown to her, such as said religious culture trying to kill her and being lied to by the head of said fanatics, she realizes all of her people are actually indoctrinated slaves and starts to fight for the future of her people by rallying around the one person who can actually do something to stop it all.

Not sure why her breaking away from the brainwashing and indoctrination and trying to help free her people after seeing the truth is a bad thing here? Also fun fact, if Orpheus turns into a mind flayer and dies at the end she goes to free her people anyway, it wasn't just about him. She didn't just become a zealot following a new person, she became dedicated to freeing her people. Orpheus has that capability so she wants to free him.

Take a look at the Hong Kong protests. Twitter was a huge way to show the world what was going on. But also full of shills and bots sewing discord

Honestly at this point I can't tell if I'm happy or sad about things like Twitter going away. It was full of horrible discourse and bots and misinformation, but also helped a lot of people. Back in the day it was insanely helpful for directing large areas affected by disasters.

I just don't see the good uses of these platforms ever coming back from all these primadonna CEOs

I'm not an expert by any means but can't this be used to launder money?

I believe they forced him to step down because of his stubborn stance on EVs right?
