I'd like to say I did that on purpose to show how dumb they'd be renaming it, but it is I who can't remember my East and West

True. Guess it's more like them getting Google to change Greenland into West Alaska

Imagine being a tourist in the US, looking for an address you believe to be say, Martin Luther King Street. Can't find it anywhere, even on Google maps, then eventually you talk to someone and find out it's now called Elon Musk Avenue.

Not saying this is exactly the same, but if we're letting people change the names of places on commonly used global map software willy nilly, even if it's just region to region, we're gonna end up with problems. It's not like "freedom fries" back in the day that legitimately affected no one.

And I am suddenly seeing a parenthetical on the Gulf here outside the US, so there technically was a sudden change

When already planning to quit again after a gacha relapse a few years back, I remember thinking "I'll wait till this event is done", but then the next event starts, then the next, then the next and they all overlap at least a little and I didn't want to miss out.

These games made me feel like it was important " work", that I was building up to something and that mastery and improvement was as easy as showing up and doing dailies.

Yeah, dark patterns in gaming absolutely suck

At my worst I was doing three Gacha games and it was killing me. I had to quit and it's genuinely hard to stay out seeing how fun some of these new Gacha games look. Can't imagine doing this many and not hating your life

I think at this point it's more about what the case represents. I don't know how exactly I want this to happen, but I do hope the results of his trial somehow creates positive changes in how insurance companies work.

Wishful thinking, but I think that's the kind of feeling people have around this.

Where does the poop go?

Can both mouths eat?

Is one a false head to confuse predators?

I tried the first episode but barely got a quarter way through. Made me too sad

I've been on the angry end of that mod. I can tell they're passionate about the cause but yeah, feels like they're quick to assume the worse of others in a disagreement.

As much as I support the Palestinian cause as a POC raised Muslim (and simply being a person with basic observation skills), I avoid interacting with that particular community because of them.

A lot of good stuff is shared there, so I don't block them but man, not great with the community building...

I kinda want them here so they can be exposed to leftist ideas and become thigh-high wearing, Linux using furries.

But that's probably just me huffing hopium

Fair. I've spent most my life working with the neurodivergent community, so even IRL I know some very intelligent people need a bit of help with implied meaning. I know I've had my fair share of "woosh" moments

I've found online that /s is almost always needed. May take a bit from the joke but also, clarifies for everyone that you are not actually being an asshole when you can't visibly roll your eyes and use the proper "sarcasm inflection"
