We've hit the weather when I try and lobby my partner to let us drive to the grocery store and not walk ... 38F (I think that's like 3-4C?) and drizzly is just mucky

Mild take:
If it's an open world game, don't put unique items as something you can permanently miss if you don't find them in a storyline mission...

"Well, it works for me" is seriously one of my top most annoying reply guys. You've contributed nothing to the conversation. If you're going to say something like that, at least also detail some ways that your setup might be different from OPs so they have some idea how to fix the thing...

It's really embarrassing when some white person tries to get you in on some "hey, don't we all hate those minorities?" Take.
Umm ... No. No I don't, and stop trying to imply that we all do or should.
There's only one minority I categorically hate:
Billionaires

My spicy take of the day:

For fucks sake, have people in the office who are literally professionals in drafting and editing memos, scheduling meetings, figuring out travel, coordination with other folks, hell, making a good cup of coffee. It's IMPORTANT […]

Okay, I could give them a battle of wills. Can I give enough spicy takes break them before they break me.
ME: (shivering, stripped naked and tied to a chair) Drag queens have pretty privilege…
CIA AGENT: Again. Do another.
ME: Please, I can’t, I—
CIA AGENT: (dousing me with a bucket of ice water) Another take! Hotter!
ME: (sobbing) Dating someone who needs glasses is a predatory power imbalance…

The one problem with hoodies. When you only brought hoodies and a hooded coat with you, it gets too cold for only one hoodie, and now you're wearing more than one hoodie and a hooded coat and you've got like 3+ hoods hanging out behind you

God relatives keep this place freezing cold. Like low 62F/17C
And no, I don't care to hear about how people like their house that cold and how my 72F/22C degree house is too warm. I can't just decide not to be freezing cold and shivering even all bundled up...

Just to confirm with all y'all - are there any mod managers that actually work on Linux? Steam Deck particularly? If so I haven't been able to find any yet, and I'm tired of trying to fuck around with managing mods manually.

When you intentionally avoid a thing not because the thing is bad - in fact, oftentimes it actually is quite good. But the thing has very obnoxious fanboys, so you avoid it anyways because you don't want to deal with them when you need to engage with the people who know more than you.

Sometimes I've been told "you should start a longer form of writing, a blog or newsletter or something".
And then I try to write something longer
And upon reread, I discover all over again that I only sound coherent and intelligent on things under 1000 words

No, no, you see, it's not that I dislike your children. Or not that I dislike children in general. It's that I dislike all people who are loud and obnoxious and irritating. It just so happens that yours fit that criteria.

When someone bails me out of a pickle, I can't bring them cookies or brownies as a thank you
There's no surprise leftover pizza in the break room to munch on

Fuck Ronald Reagan. Every time I think of him, I get more and more infuriated that by basically any conceivable metric you can find, the US started its dramatically worse trend in the 1980s.
