An asshole billionaire fleeing from something is also a situation I can't comprehend but, on the other hand, fuck 'em.

When I still commuted for work (western 23-ku initially and later out towards okutama), I had a portable wifi, power bank, water, a protein bar or two, a book, sunglasses, folding umbrella, sunscreen, noise-canceling earphones, and ibuprofen in my bag (in addition to work stuff or whatever for that daily activity). Being stuck on a train that loses power makes one prepare.

Now, I love in the inaka and work from home. I really should throw some water and calorie mate in the car, though, as I think about it.

Scope creep: this time we're sure it won't be a disaster at all.

Really neat if they could pull it off and have it not ruin anything else in the game, though I think I'd want any social stuff to be optionally enabled rather than always on.

Japan is slowly getting better, but it's a long road ahead. There are more laws and they're actually enforcing some of them with regard to harassment and hours worked (a lot of people would clock out and keep working, but they're trying to make the penalties bit enough to stop it from what I hear. My company is certainly strict about it).

It'd be nice to have european-level vacations before I retire, but that I don't see happening

I'm supposed to avoid gluten these days, but a banh mi is frequently on my mind

I had totally forgotten about it until now, but I got that same compliment.

I resolved to stop paying full price for anything Pitchford and his touch based on a number of factors. I did buy the latest BL game when it was on a big sale and thoroughly hated the main story and various plotholes (seemingly from cuts made by the company/directors rather than the writers). I bought Tiny Tina (again, on sale for over half off) and it was a game with all kinds of bugs that just never got fixed -- it's the first game I didn't immediately roll a new character to replay after beating it. At this point, I'm not sure I would buy anything else they put out.

Yeah, I actually felt bad last night about my wording choice and explanation, so apologies for that. Thank you as well for engaging. Cheers!

It may have changed more recently (or depend upon country as well), but I was still getting results from old serial/null modem devices about 10 years ago (I worked on the centralized IT side so I didn't see these devices, but this is what the on-site tech was telling me when troubleshooting things)

I see your point. There was just something about the wording that really made it feel unfinished/unverified to me and led me down the path of thought I went on. Of course, very few people in the world know everything on a given topic and no one is infallible. I guess it was just the phrasing that really made me suspicious.

And what you’re saying now is, “What you said doesn’t align to what I think, so I’m sure you’re wrong.”

I had to start work so sorry for the delayed response. No, I didn't assert that you were wrong. I did say the wording left a lot of room to be suspicious.

I appreciate the source above and, indeed, it looks like I was wrong on that specific part (at least according to three other source, including ballotpedia).

Edit for clarity: my reasoning was not "you are wrong because I don't agree" but rather the wording itself just gave me an off feeling (even had I agreed with it fully).

I had to start work and I was talking about actual post rather than comments, but I suppose that's a fair criticism. I did mean it to mean that I was coming back to it (as I am now).
