I’ve been playing Dead Space remake on PS5 since it was free last month. Still haven’t beaten it yet as I’ve had very little time. Been loving it though. Just hope I finish by the time the Christmas season starts in earnest haha. Kind of conflicting vibes.

I like going to Gillette to see the Revs play. Not a fan of them moving to Everett.

Yeah I agree with you there.

Shall I compare thee, to a Cretaceous day?

I’m kind of on Google’s side here. Especially during covid, chatting in IM essentially replaced hallway chatter. Nobody would want all of their verbal communications in an office being recorded on the record. Having IMs be off the record by default seems reasonable to me.

I wonder how many of us will read this article lol (I haven’t).

Well, like I mentioned you still need some sort of interaction with kids. Or maybe influence their parents enough to have them indirectly pass on those values you imparted on them. But I still think that if the smartest, kindest, most compassionate people among us stop having kids… well then that’s not great for that next generation. I’ve just always felt that giving up one of the primary factors of life, reproduction, seems very defeatist. But on the other hand, if someone genuinely doesn’t want children then by all means don’t.

The catch-22 is that if the people with environmental values don’t have kids, those values aren’t passed on to the next generation (unless they become teachers or media personalities).

Ugh.

Loose rhymes with noose. I can’t think of a word that’s spelled and pronounced like lose so you have me there.

choose lose cruise booze

all rhyme lol

It is a little strange that they are both holding the ends of the cigarette that is supposedly lit with all that smoke.

Oh I definitely email at work. I meant in my personal life. Like, I can’t remember the last time I emailed a friend or family member. But yeah I email at work, or for customer support, or to businesses and whatnot.

That’s a good point. I guess if I’m in the situation where I have a lot to say; I’d rather just talk on the phone with someone. Now that I think of it, I feel like the telephone replaced physical letters before email even came along. But, I do highly respect the long-form communication of letters and email. It’s just kind of rare these days.

I thought this was a mini-pc to compete with the mac mini, until I realized its streaming only. I’d much rather cough up the extra $250 for the insane jump in power that the mac mini gives you.

I don’t remember the last time I actually emailed someone I knew as a form of communication. I forward newsletters to my wife sometimes. The culture of texting, where you can take your time to respond (within a day or two), has kind of made email obsolete.

I wonder what the “significant” update to the first game will be. No mention of it in the article.

Man, what a failed experiment. It feels weird to say as a pats fan, but I feel bad for jets fans. What a shit show.

I hope this doesn’t happen. From Soft games are too prominent on Xbox and Switch; I would feel bad for those fans. I don’t mind them having a second party relationship every now and then like Demons Souls and Bloodborne, but to outright own them seems unnecessary.
