To give you a slightly more serious answer, there's a trope in America of the girl friend's dad doing something to "subtly intimidate" the boy friend by casually cleaning a gun or having one within sight the first time they meet. The implication of course is supposed to be something along the lines of "I've got this and if you try anything funny with my daughter, I'll use it on you"
It's dumb but I've also known more than a few people who have experienced this first hand.
I'm one of those people. I haven't played in years. I may never have played again. I only found out because my daughter is now at an age where she asked if we could play together. I received no notice from Microsoft and I don't do social media so it was a complete surprise to me when I couldn't log in, then find out through their support that I had lost access to something I had legally paid for.
It was pointed out to me once that the engine room scenes were filmed in a brewery and now I can't unsee it.
The first trillionaire ain't gonna make themself.
They're fully vertically integrated from the silicone through the compiler, os, and all software running.
IIRC that was on the set of one of the Hobbit movies.
The Lord of the Rings was shot mostly using practical effects.
One of my favorite managers once told me while I was struggling with a severe case of imposter syndrome "if you're faking it well enough that others can't tell, you might not be faking it as much as you think."
While I don't disagree, this person was also quite clearly mentally ill.
Now who is it that keeps cutting support for... Oh right...
Fuckin do it, be free
Tritip, ribs, roasted corn, garlic bread. Didn't get as many pics as I had planned to, too busy cooking 😁.
One of the best bosses I ever had once told me that people will stay for the culture but leave for money. His philosophy was to try and ensure that money was not a factor in people's decision, then build as good a culture as he could.
And to be clear, by making money not a factor, I mean he paid well.
