8BitDo has been my go-to for controllers for a few years now. I have the Ultimate and Ultimate 2 (Switch (also first I got, due to controller drift) and Steam deck respectively), Pro 2 (pc, Got used to FFXIV on ps2-lik3 controller) and even a SN30 Pro (not an intentional purchase; I got scammed when buying the Ultimate 2 then forgot to return it in time and afterwards tried it for the first time and decided to to eat the cost as my own stupidity).

I like em a ton, and they're part of why I no longer am loyal to Logitech. Being loyal to them was a dumb decision anyway; I have much better replacements except for my HOTAS.

I live a bit Southeast of Atlanta. My job is a 44 mile drive away in Woodstock. My job that I barely managed to get after a year of no serious bites.

I try to WFH as much as I can but they want us in office at least 2 weeks of the month, plus monthly all hands meetings.

I do try to use my ebike to purchase groceries, but recently the back is flat and perhaps I'm just not well inclined for it but I've had issues trying to get the wheel off to fix it, and I really can't afford taking it somewhere for someone to do it for me.

I try not to use house heating in winter, and my car is electric(and old, only 8%-20% when i arrive at work). While I absolutely crave having reasonable public transportation (I enjoyed NYCs when I visited) and would take it in a heartbeat, since i could just read in my hour drive to work and hour and a half back from work, shaming me for not biking 44 miles yo work isn't going to help that be a reality.

Jesse "The body" Ventura may be my favorite Alex Jones guest (in that he actually tells Jones that a bunch of his ideas don't work in actual governance and gave some surprisingly reasonable takes) but I'm still not sure he's a reasonable person to quote. Also on the competition for favorite guest, Alex Jones once accidentally got a really sweet Astronaut to call in who really just wanted to talk about how awesome space and science were, and wouldn't go down any conspiracy rabbit holes. He didn't actually know who Jones was but wanted to spread a lovely message. Had a cut message from his daughter or granddaughter too (it was oddly unclear).

ADHD means a lot of games with a ton of hours. Over 1k include Ark, Warframe, FFXIV, Civ V and Civ VI, Monster Hunter games, Elite Dangerous, Fallout 4, Pal world is close at 996h etc. Generally I like a lot of stuff, except maybe most first person shooters, battle royales, and I can't actually recall playing a sports game past some SNES basketball games. Do Mario mini games count?

Yeah, they definitely make sure we know that being raised in it. Had a purple triangle mark to denote them and other pacifistic religions. They also were some of the earliest arrested due to their refusal to do the Hitler salute, which they also refuse nowadays to salute anyth*or say any allegiance pledges. While their reasons are religious based, I still refuse to do those too.

Grew up in a cult that refuses to do any military (JW), so at least one benefit I guess in that I was never brought up to venerate the military, or even any living person.

For I am a master of deceptio-

There's also a Hypothesis iirc that this rapid expansion also lowered our life span. Longevity Bottleneck Hypothesis though I think this one includes dinosaurs hunting mammals, and maybe Disposable Soma Theory.

Huh, the second one could probably be used to explain elves in fantasy: long life, low reproduction rate.

There's a simple mental trick for getting past that scripture. The part where Jesus says the least of his family, they just decide they are the in group and we are the out group.

So they reason no matter how poor and downtrodden we are, Jesus meant them, not us.

It's often an enforcement of gender roles, but you also see issues the reverse way for helplessness and incompetence: old men who do not know how to cook or handle any household chores because their wives always did it for them.

Been my experience with random people for like a decade or more. The only people I've run into who seemed to care was this elderly couple in Alabama (I was visiting, live in GA) where the wife always waited for her husband to open doors, and my sister-in-law who has my brother open doors for her.

She also chastised me for not walking over to my mom's door and opening it for her when we were all eating out once, to my mother's confusion because she's used to opening her own doors.

While I agree with the sentiment, there's always 1 person who says something really racist or something and does get into trouble, but usually gets a bunch of right wing support too.
Edit: Google search mentions several, including Ferguson police officer being extremely racist, a teacher also being racist calling Michelle a gorilla, a NY police officer got a mere 60 days for a slur and suggesting the president "go die in a shallow grave."

The overall point stands that they did way worse than someone calling out the truth, but right wing defenders will definitely say it happened with Obama too.
