The first game my kid played was also at 4, and it was super Mario Odyssey with the assist turn on, which paints an arrow to where to go plus health restores after not getting hit for like 10 seconds. We also got our other kid Bluey because she loves Bluey, and it was super simple to play, but sometimes hard to grasp what they should be doing. I also agree with Kirby, it was basically the 2nd game he played and ended up beating it which was pretty shocking.

For me it's more who tells me about the show. If it's my friends that I have similar taste in most stuff then absolutely. They are basically telling me because they know we will enjoy it. If it's a family member? I'll proceed with caution.

Starring the same cast from Half Baked in A Half Baked Christmas.

I say don't worry. There's no way they will be able to change this system anytime soon. Even if airports are able to accommodate the change, it will be extremely hard for all borders and other checkpoints to do the same. We know how slow progress is for stuff like this. If this is implemented, it will not mean passports won't still be required for a long time. My guess is a minimum of 20 years at the least before seeing any change.

The funny thing was, i actually finished a week before the last episode. I watched episode 10, and since all the seasons were 10 episodes, I thought that was the finale. Once I saw the 11th drop, I was excited until I also realized it was actually ending. I had no idea it was the end.

Dam! This was exactly what I thought of as well! I just binged it over the last month and finished exactly when the show just did last week. This was definitely one of the better jokes that I remember. They leave it out, but due to his last line before granting the wish all he can think about is Guillermo and he is not happy after.

Over the years of talking with my wife about who we find attractive, she has realized I find almost all women attractive in some ways and normally the ones that are supposed to be attractive i find less attractive. She hated this realization because she applied it to herself, and it made her feel bad... I just find the good in most people, that's all!

I don't use Linux much, and I still agree. If the market share for Linux continues to rise every year, then it's absolutely true.

We once had a remote town hall meeting for our department, and the VP had asked everyone if they had any questions about anything. My close coworker had asked about raises and a few other things since it was the start of not getting yearly raises anymore. The VP answered appropriately (not give any answers and change the subject). Later that day my coworker told us he was pulled into his bosses office and questioned about why he did that and if he was trying to put our VP in an uncomfortable position. So the ask any questions part was just a formality, and I guess not to be taken seriously...

I've seen way too many videos like this that do not have good endings... you couldn't pay me to cross that.

It's one of the reasons I hate seeing disaster videos banned for disturbing content. They are a way to learn from others' mistakes, so I hope to make better judgment calls one day if I ever need to.

Very thankful my wife got it earlier this year...she's been paying it for over 10 years, and it didn't even go down. Sadly, with today's prices for everything this just ended up being money put towards another thing I can barely afford. No matter what, they built the system to never let you get ahead...

So it's easy to calculate the cost of how much a movie makes once it's released. Can someone tell me how shows like these calculate it's value? Do they just look at the viewings to see how many watched it and they have a predetermined amount per view? Or is it more complicated than that? It just seems wild to me that for something that costs so much, how do you determine if it was worth the price or if it took a loss? I'm sure it brings some new subscribers briefly and some long term, but is that worth the amount the show costs?
