Still, I would've been disappointed if someone hadn't just typed it out. Probably woulda felt like I had to.

Depends QUITE a bit on the state lol
Currently rehabbing an old drive or two to begin my transition away from Windows during some upcoming time off! Enough is enough, MS has made it abundantly clear that users should not expect to own or control their Windows installations anymore. Complete deal breaker and I doubt I'll be back.
Damn, I never considered how much the marketing of the earlier eras must have contributed to toxic gamer culture, particularly misogyny and eventually inceldom.
I'm a little uncertain how much credit to give it, I feel like that kinda stuff was commonplace in advertising in general. But that was a long time ago and it'd be easy for me to just think that since I saw it in gaming and beer marketing that it was "everywhere". Maybe it was way more uneven than I'm thinking, or something. Sure feels relevant.
Hell yeah, I'm a goddamned fortress by now. I shrug off everything but a multi pronged attack, no matter how sustained. Pretty much have to be badly under slept, kept in tight quarters, and exposed to something virulent.
My immune system is like an advanced alien race just crashing through whole galaxies and annihilating weaker species. As it should be.
It has puzzled me too. I think it's a combination of:
- above average raw charisma (people subconsciously want to relate to him)
- VERY generous / manufactured audiences
- our strong subconscious tendency to want to laugh along with others
- deliberate abuse of the "this is so funny I can't help but break character" move, the most egregious and hateable thing the man does
People look at me like I slapped their mother when I say I find him 0% funny or likeable.
There was no walking path, no. There was, however, a huge stretch of unused farm land between the neighborhood and the school. The owners of the land fought bitterly to prevent access.
LOL, perfect reference. Hope that's not where I got the idea haha.
But damn, ya know what, I need to watch this whole entire show again, it was fucking AWESOME. Avasarala herself (not in this clip of course) is dope enough to merit a re-watch, and there are so many cool characters and excellent performances, the writing is great, the universe is great, fuck. I'm not even a TV or really movie watcher.
You magnificent SOB!
Members of his previous administration complained about his tendency to just kind of agree with the last person who spoke to him on a given topic / day. I assume it's mostly due to his love of (need for) flattery - he comes out of each meeting feeling great and wanting to endorse whatever that person was saying.

I get mileage outta this one in particular too. Still sometimes get turned around and bamboozled, overall I've kinda learned to treat the info as more like...the Platonic ideal of a perfectly modeled store, lol. The many changes and failures and surprises just make me even more grateful that any of that info is in there and works well. Really convenient.
