and you certainly appear to not understand the meaning of “most” and how it was used in that sentence lol

that’s good mechanics, I like it. not lazy coding that just does a flat chance per travel event. it’s a good look for the devs

like fast travel is interrupted by an encounter?

what does “getting fucky” mean in that game?

I’ve noticed that in the past five years, things just seem to be less flavourful to me. I wonder if that does have anything to do with COVID

there’s still lots of stuff that tastes fucking delicious. but every now and then I eat something and it’s just flat. doesn’t taste like anything.

also, snack food is shit nowadays, that’s not me, we know corporations cheap out any way they can, and lots of snack food now and inevitably just tastes like shit as a result

like chips, I’ve always fucking loved chips. even cheap stuff. but nowadays even some of the name brands don’t really taste like anything. it has to be because they’re fucking up the recipes, because I can make chips at home that taste better

southern Ontario Canadians don’t sound much different. the more east you go, the more Letterkenny you get. and then you get the Quebecois, which are unique in oh so many ways. and then you start getting to the true east coast stuff as you go farther and farther, and that’s not going to be confused for american

that’s the exception that put “most” in the title

I’m on a $4000 computer from 2024 lol, with an NVME SSD. it ain’t the hardware that’s the issue in my case

but yeah, windows runs like shit now. everything is slow. there’s bloatware. nothing just works anymore (not that it all just worked in the past, but at least some of it did)

even fucking notepad has started crashing on me sometimes

have you not used windows 11?

file explorer now takes half a second to open a subfolder, more if within a OneDrive directory. I went back to Win10 because of that. it literally broke my workflow and prevented me from being able to do my job effectively

I wasn’t the only one at the company that saw this behavior either

just went through this myself

needed a gooseneck phone mount for tomorrow morning. nothing local has something suitable, so damnit amazon it is

oh look, it’s dozens of the same product, using the exact same photo often even, from random shit brands

I’ve been doing pretty good at avoiding amazon for the past year or two, but every two or three months there’s something that I just can’t get somewhere else on the timeline I need or at a reasonable price

I just bought a 2012 as my ‘new’ vehicle because I don’t want to deal with any stupid tech issues like that

hell, I don’t even like standard traction control - if I press the accelerator, I want the wheels to get power. I’ve been stuck slowly crossing in the middle of an intersection too many times because ESC ‘helped out’ and cut power to the wheels. no mf just spin them until they get to the hard surface below the snowslush

auto high beams do not work every time.

I am routinely blinded by them when people drive through my neighborhood at night and I’m walking my dog, or when I’m biking to the store. and this is in a neighborhood with street lights where high beams are completely and utterly not required in the first place at 40 km/h.

doesn’t work well in my experience. now I typically just leave my mirrors all the way out and up when driving at night, so the headlights never hit my eyes from them

I can see everything I need to from the rearview and turning my head. it’s not like you can see anything using the side mirrors at night when somebody with LED headlights is behind you anyways, all you see is a giant flare and you can’t even tell if it’s in your lane or the next lane or how close it is

LED headlights are literally making the roads less safe by decreasing visibility and awareness

see the thing is we don’t need to put up with either of those situations, neither is acceptable

I choose to interpret this as referring to a coffee date, not the coffee itself

doesn’t matter when lowbeams are just as bright as high beams and aimed at somebody’s face, though

incorrect. cutoff just means it isn’t blinding on flat level ground. which roads and streets are very much not

lol it’s not just aftermarket or modified stuff dude, look at any new stock Subaru/Toyota/Mazda. blinding

I want to know how many are related to drivers blinded by LED headlights. I’ve seen (and been a part of) dozens of near hits in the past few years because of this.

edit: Let me just be very clear about this — if you think that the issue is only aftermarket headlights or modified vehicles, you are mistaken. you can look at pretty much any modern Toyota or Subaru or Mazda or pickup with LED headlights and see that the low beams are just as bright as the high beams, just aimed lower. and that aim lower does not matter when the low beams are shining in somebody’s face, which happens often because roads are not level and flat. and you know where this is often the case? intersections. intersections often are raised in the middle, which means the car on the other side is angled slightly upwards, which means their low beam LED headlights are blasting the person on the other side in the face, even with their “but much cutoff is correct excuse”.

the simple inexcusable unavoidable fact is that headlights that blind people like this with this frequency are simply bad design and dangerous, and yes they also make the driver an asshole for having that vehicle and treating other people like this. like how would people feel if I just went around blasting them in the face with a flashlight that bright while walking around. they’d be livid. this is literally not any different, you’re not special just because you bought a 4,000 lb vehicle that has dangerous features.

so it knows for how long dwarves are affected by spilled beer in their eyes, duh
