People will get killed in these things. I don’t trust a computer to drive me safely home. Give me a train or a bus instead driven by a real person.

Not good enough. Google showed their hand and they will try this garbage again at a later date

Retro Game Corps was estimating $500-$600 and they are defintely out to lunch with that

The new stadiums are another factor that really is ruining sports for me. In my city they are building a new one for the hockey team and it is mostly paid by taxes. So our property taxes are going to sky rocket to build this thing and then they will jack up the game ticket prices so we cannot even afford to go to games.

They sold it to the public as this was going to be a community building, which is such garbage. Am I going to be able to go down there when no games are happening and skate on the rink? Of course not

Last year I went to the league championship of my local lower level pro soccer club. Tickets were $40 each for good seats and it was a sell out. Our team won and it was honestly a blast.

I don’t know that I would have had a better time at a top tier pro sports final that would have cost thousands to attend.

I’m glad you brought this up, because this is another great point related to the time suck. I have two kids now and every hour I spend watching sports is an hour not spent with my kids or being an absent parent. Makes it hard to justify.

Recently too I had a brother in law who skipped his infant sons first time trick or treating because his team was in the World Series. It was a big topic of debate for our family.

I have played it multiple times and it has never hooked me. I keep meaning to go back, but I don’t know if I will

I’m having issues getting the microphone on my sony headphones to work on my steam deck. I was figuring it is due to missing drivers as well

Relationships end for a reason. When you breakup it’s important to always remember why you broke up. It’s easy to only remember the good parts and that is often how people get sucked back in again to the same relationships and the same kinds of people.

Keep remembering what the breaking point was and how you felt at the worst times. Doing that makes it easier for yourself to rationalise why you are not together.

Also total separation is key. No willing contact again ever. If they are gone completely, then it will be easier to move on.

Fuck you Spotify

What a joke

Not me obviously, but you should look up the accident Adam Devine had as a kid. Pretty serious, but it is hilarious how he talks about it. His leg is so crazy knarley

7 Digital and Bandcamp

Spotify has been garbage for so long. I left when the Joe Rogan stuff got so bad and artists were demanding to have their music removed from Spotify in response.

You can buy music and maintain your own personal collection. It was not as hard as I thought it would be and the quality is so much higher. Artists get more of the money as well from you.

I like this idea. What do you use to find open jobs? Just going on Indeed?

Yeah in Canada. I have been wondering if I should apply in other cities as well to improve my chances

The Office when Michael moved away. It was never the same after that.

Forget her feelings. Make it clear there is no relationship. Otherwise they will hold onto hope and could try to undermine your marriage.

You can’t prioritze other people’s feelings. Almost always others wont prioritze yours.

Glad I left Spotify

I had this recently. My parents wanted me to make a full hour round trip drive across town to pick them up in the middle of the night so they could save $50 on a taxi. I said, “No,” as I have kids to look after now, and my mom launched into how I’m not family first anymore and after all the things she did for me as a kid, she can’t depend on me to pick her up.

I stuck to my guns though. They conned my brother with the same story, but I set a boundary.
