My favorite is Stop Having Fun, Guys. Broken Base hits too close to home for too many franchises I enjoy.

So I went and looked. OP seems like a very unhappy individual. I found traces of the below plus a lot of the "whiney entitled gamer" archetype. I sure hope they find happiness someday.

"Stop Having Fun" Guys

We were discussing RBG and the guy's claim that she "died too early", not Feinstein.

You sure? I just pulled it from Wikipedia. They could be wrong and I make no secret of the fact that I'm wrong pretty often.

That's true. But it also requires that both sides have the same definition of tolerance and the same definitions of good an evil.

It's a similar problem to respect. If I said "I'll show you respect if you show me respect" I could mean that I'll give you due regard for your feelings if you'll do the same. However, too often it means I'll give due regard for your feelings if you'll treat me with deep admiration.

She was 87. Yeah, she was sharp as a tack, no doubt. But 87 isn't dying early. It sure isn't dying early when you account for the fact that she was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 99, pancreatic cancer in 09, and had surgery in 2014 because of the cancer.

This has nothing to do with empathy or painting old people with any brush. This has to do with the health of the nation. She could have retired during the Obama years when she was already well past the average age of death and her body was failing to enjoy a few years of retirement.

I didn't say everyone over 65 needs to be pushed out to sea on an ice floe. If you're feeling like any of my words are an attack on old people maybe examine why. Because it's showing more about you than about me.

Her and RBG really fucked up badly. But they don't have to be here to see the fallout.

Like 6 years ago, but she served in the Senate until September 29th.

You two are overlooking the most important thing. It might be fun to crazily rip out the cables then make a junior guy go trace and repatch it all. The opportunity to legitimately do that doesn't come along often.

I am in my 40s and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

For real though, I had a variety of jobs when I got out of school. I went into the military, went to college for something that I didn't want to do, worked in several fields, fell into a job in technology, went back to school, and I'll retire doing this unless something drastically changes.

I wouldn't call the second half of August "a long time". However, I can say Chimera is pretty good and prior to August the last big release of HoloISO was last year so I do get your point and agree with you steering others to distros that may better meet their needs.

I don't know that sending it to a random Latina would work. She'd probably be weirded out by some random person removed about a game.
