Absolutely.

I collect toys and specifically now get non-mint ones so they can be played with and possibly broken.

I have some new in package items like legos. I may build them later but I should just give them to some kids.

I started to purposely collect the boxes only since it’s effectively the same for me, they cost less and look the same as kits on my shelf.

I get the girlfriend. I understand wanting a well worn item as opposed to a new one. There is a certain amount of stress involved in ‘nice’ things .

I’m not sure that it’s normal but when you have something nice you go through more effort to keep it nice while a well used item can just be tossed in a pocket or a bag.

Let me guess, this super ai lives in Canada and we can never meet it, but it’s totally real.

This is actually a good argument .

The president of the USA can not be head of state of a different country. So they are either Americans or Donald trump accidentally abdicated the presidency.

This an an absolutely exceptional claim that would put the company decades beyond any tech I have seen. They are claiming remote control of a complicated animal in flight. They also claim it is without training and over distances impossible for a bird as small as a pigeon to carry radio gear.

This is not believable without any evidence.

Wow that makes so much sense it’s crazy.

So Sony is now the new RCA. This is a new low for the company. I can't believe that they are gone just like that.

I mean it's true. She doesn't like hearing it.

It's like the old craft system. A cobblers son was most likely to be a cobbler because they grew up around the skills tools and equipment. If a parent has a high level of skill and resources it's way easier to teach it to a kid for a kid and for them to succeed.

I mean I would loved to have a parent in a position to help fund and guide my first business venture like that kids has.

If I was successful, I would do that for my kids.

If he wanted people to like it then he should have made it do things people want it to do.

It is the new metaverse.

I mean. I think he's crazy, but for Trump to reach out to a random celebrity that he knows the name of and just start talking about state secrets is completely in line with things that already happened.

His 'fainting' was likely cardiac arrest. It sounds a lot like heart attack symptoms.

I have heard of this happening to people in the US who work in finance. It's never 'overwork' here. It's just a heart attack from poor life style choices.

I was genuinely shocked how much this is the way most people are. I just didn’t get out enough to understand empathy is not normal,

There is no reason to come here. This will be the lamest, boring soccer fan experience that anyone ever had.

Being drunk is public is a crime and the US ICE will detain any foreigner guilty of a crime.

This will be a fully in-control and respectful viewing event with little drinking and no mischief.

The teams will stay in their hotels until it's time to fly home.

That or a whole crowd of folks is going to get gunned down.

It's always great to see how the EU handles IP and large companies compared to the US.

If the articles series of events and statements are true I wonder if the hackers will win. The company initiating the lock initially created a state where un-serviced trains locked up. It seems a straightforward case of bug fixing that is allowed in EU law.

It's a parents job to love the child. The child didn't ask to born. If they love the parent back it makes it MUCH easier. But the fundamental job doesn't change if the kid has a bad day/week/month or year.

. No reason to make a new kid when there are kids out there who need help. Start as a foster parent and work from there.

No it's not. American Catholics are more aligned with Fox news than the Vatican. This is to distract from the Iran war, which was to distract from Epstein, which was to distract from Venezuela which was to distract from ICE killing people, which was to distract from ...

Yes. It sounds like they removed anti cheat from linux for a spell and watched an uptick in cheater switching platforms. So they weren't willing to support the anticheat, removed it from the game and watched cheaters flock to the platform. I don't think they are saying linux users are cheaters, just that cheater will use linux if vulnerable.
