When it's only one or two a month it's manageable, but now everything worth accessing is split over a dozen services. I gave the legal option a go and it became excessively expensive, so back to piracy. Both cheaper and more convenient.

You rate AI way higher than you should. Bits designed to play games have been a thing forever, but they just suck. No matter how fancy they still follow patterns and eventually become predictable.

That's not to say it wouldn't be good to have the option, but it's just not the same.

I generally prefer single player games anyway coz I can't keep up with people who spend all their time online though.

Ah. I see. Thanks for the clarification

From a place of freedom it looks like that, however the issue is more with those who enforce that kind of culture. That part is harder to get free from.

Ah. Yes cultural issues can be a challenge. Sounds like you've got somewhat limited freedom.

Maybe there's some other kind of commitment you can come up with? Or perhaps try to call in to the medical location you were considering to see if you can schedule something for a better time?

Hope you're able to find help

Oh and tell them you've got a medical appointment, they do not need to know what kind, just say you've been on a waiting list for a long time.

My first rule in life, look after yourself. You can't help others properly if you don't care for yourself.

If it's a choice between pissing off my parents because I leave when they want help, and missing medical help in a crowded system? I'd go for upsetting parents, they'll get over it.

Look after yourself, go get help. This is coming from someone (me) who has mental health issues. Your future self will thank you if you start the path of treatment sooner rather than later.

Hope you're feeling well now. Take care!

Isn't hawk tuah the sound of spitting?

Agreed. If they decriminalise and regulate it, sex work is much safer for all involved. People gotta pay bills and if sex work is their chosen profession, good for them.

Absolutely, I use one myself for that reason

Xbox controllers work with windows with pretty much zero configuration. Either use USB or the appropriate receiver dongle. This probably contributes a lot to it's popularity.

Also the older and newer style controllers likely all just report as Xbox controllers and the wired 360 controllers are dirt cheap

Yeah almost all of my play history from earlier in my accounts existence wasn't recorded. Not gonna lose sleep over it tho

I think they're saying that on average people don't jack it EVERY day, just most days.

If there's one thing the pandemic has made clear, it's that there's a lot of crazy assholes out there.

Everyday is donut day

Last ice bags I saw have cube shapes with little gaps between them to allow the water to fill the bag. So when you rip the bag open they're already more or less seperated.

As for the taste stuff, not so much the ice container, but if it's not fully sealed it can take on the smell and taste of other things in the freezer.

Exactly. You get used to the feeling of intense anxiety if you have it all the time. You don't like it, but you get used to it. Same goes for being poor. It's shit, but if you can't get away from it you adjust your life whether you want to or not.

I do like that in my country, if there's an emergency, you don't need to think about it. You just get help without fear of being financially crippled for life.

I feel bad for Americans that you can't easily get medical help, even in emergencies.

I feel more and more justified about piracy every article I read about licensing and stuff just getting taken away after having paid good money for stuff

Only if they buy the argument that it's too difficult to explain what the hidden charges are for so they shouldn't have to.
