Remind yourself that you do not know these people and you have no reason to respect their opinions, then move on

Emet would (and does) die before even considering the idea that he might be in the wrong. He's a zealot through and through

YoshiP is on SE's board of directors, XIV may not be immune to corporate fuckery but anyone who wants to mess with it is going to be fighting an uphill battle

Yeah so immediately after writing this I realized why they did that: 6.x is a goddamn *tutorial*. They're laying the groundwork for it to be the entry point for future players. The entire arc is redundant coming fresh out of EW but it perfectly summarizes the WoL's place in the world for newcomers

Correct, a while back Yoshi-P mentioned in an interview that it was supposed to be more of an interlude than a bridge between 6.0 and 7.0. I agree it was kind of meh, but I understand that SE wanted DT and onward to be a clean break from the previous story. 6.x fulfills that purpose, if nothing else

I've been blocking anyone even mildly annoying for several months now, and not having to deal with "oh so you hate pancakes?" people has made this the most peaceful, enjoyable time I've spent online since I first got a computer 15 years ago

A huge part of it must be that these A.I. decisions are being made by C-suite executives who really, really hate reading entire documents

Can confirm, the execs at my workplace are also experimenting with AI summarization tools despite the entire IT department saying "this shit doesn't work and we don't recommend it"

Celery, immensely satisfying to line a few stalks up and then CHOPCHOPCHOPCHOP down the line like an old timey cartoon character

I don't think so. The crafter quests bend over backwards to emphasize that love is expressed by making thoughtful design choices which demonstrate a deep, personal understanding of the bearer's needs; that the effort put into personalization *is* the blessing! That's a beautiful sentiment in itself

230 pages and the most damning thing is that the president is apparently very bad about remembering to bring his credit card when eating out with his family. I'm no fan of Biden but man the Rs really have absolutely nothing here

A lot of questionable Dem policy makes much more sense when viewed through the lens that they want to identify as conservatives but are too embarrassed by the current state of the GOP to run with an R by their name

Prisencolinensinainciusol was an Italian pop song designed to *sound* like English because the artist wanted to prove that European audiences just liked English lyrics. He ended up making an actual bop though

I don't think it's possible to murder someone with a dustpan but she looks like she is one annoying customer away from discovering something new

Manual verification will probably need to be implemented for celebrities/notable individuals but basically every reputable org with an online presence already owns their domain. It's no small thing for, say, gov't accounts to automatically be verified by having a .gov handle
