Well, today’s the 12th. What happened?

I get the same feeling, too. They’re just looking for an excuse to ditch Europe - perhaps as a sacrifice to Putin.

Not even in office yet, and already making threats.

I’d like to see Europe tell Vance to fuck off. I suspect that if Europe gives in now, the Trump administration will make this same threat every time Europe does something he doesn’t like.

Trump will be an unreliable NATO ally anyway, so it isn’t much of a risk on Europe’s part.

In my experience, that’s true, too. I won’t complain about build quality.

There is no shortage of reasons to dislike Apple. This isn’t one of them.

Thank you for this. I’ve heard her name mispronounced so often that I genuinely thought kah-MALL-uh was correct. Whoops! Comma-la it is!

I don’t want reddit links showing up in my searches. I’m fine with this.

Well, you have to take into account that Biden has been looking to be re-elected for a second term. It’ll be interesting to see how he handles things now that he doesn’t have that concern. I’m looking forward to it, actually.

So… was Google just fucking with advertisers, basically saying “you’re so dependent on us, we can choose to make you freak out about a technology change that never happens?” That would be pretty diabolical, which means I wouldn’t put it past them.

One (well, two) of my all-time favorites. Both in terms of gameplay/puzzle design, and minimalist graphics that are still interesting to look at.

Monument Valley absolutely ROCKS

Many people would recommend the Bible. A lot of that shit will get you arrested, though, so that wouldn’t be my first choice.

I hope the name “dystopia sphere” catches on.

Now that I think about it, I’m surprised this didn’t happen sooner.

The industry has created this problem. They’re the ones who got players used to abundant patches and expansions. It’s not fair to blame them now.

Exactly. Quick and simple, with none of the expectations/baggage that a dinner date implies. Coffee. Ice cream. Freakin’ mini golf; I dunno. The point is to keep it casual, non-threatening, and allow conversation.

As long as they’re not an intolerant dick about believing or not believing, whatever they go with is fine. It’s none of my business.

lol that works, too!

I’ll often choose an after-dinner drink, because I usually stuff myself during the main course. Maybe I’ll order an Espresso Martini. Or I’ll go full Dude and order a White Russian. Or whatever else looks good.

When stumped, I’ll ask the server for a suggestion. I try to give them something to work with, like “sweet”, “creamy” or “citrusy”.
