I’m a cis dude in my mid-50s. Don’t think this has ever hapoened to me.

I don’t go back to it (Win 3.1 games are a PITA to get running), but I really wish someone would remake Millennium Auction. It was a very clever version of the old board game Masterpiece.
I lived without anger for almost 15 minutes today.
That’s almost a record.
Still is. The real distinction is between American English and the rest of the English-speaking world.
Or for non-language issues…
American units vs. metric, used by almost every other country on the planet.
American rules for a given sport vs. every other country on the planet.
American WHATEVER vs. every other fucking country on planet earth.
I wonder if Webster’s “anti-British” sentiment was (part of) the instigation of “American uniquism.”
To this day, whatever the world does, the US does it differently, almost as a knee-jerk reaction.
Remember, Facebook started out as a non-consensual ‘hot or not’ site, to rate women at Zuck’s college.
As they grew, they became loudly pious about their ‘strong content guidelines’ (i.e. you could get banned for a mastectomy picture), but still didn’t care about hate speech. Only a month ago, FB refused to take down an explicit call for the lynching of PM Justin Trudeau, and another saying trans kids need to be “raken to the train station.” Neither of these violated FB’s content regulations.
So framing this as Zuck bending to Trump is misleading. It’s much more him taking off his mask of civility, finally.
Like Trump, like Musk, like Poilievre, the man is a weasel and a Nazi.
China doesn’t need the USA.
The USA needs China.
What’s the endgame for them if their current path takes them to a point where their assets are more or less worthless?
Get too rich, too powerful, burn the earth, and die happy before the consequences of their behavior catch up with them.
As soon as you say “every,” the answer will be no.
Humanity is too varied and unique. Shitty behaviour can erupt spontaneously at any time.
A more interesting question to me would be "What are the chances that the 2028 elections are allowes to be carried out freely (e.g. without the governing powers forcing the outcome they want)?
If he lives to the end of this term, 100% that he’ll try for a third.
By then, it’ll be a battle between Republican Nazis who back him blindly, and Republican Nazis who want a more competent puppet in power. Oh, and people who aren’t actively supporting fascism. I doubt they’ll make a difference.
Don’t.
Develop real AI, don’t rely on bullshit LLMs.

If you want to learn drums well, skip the gimmicks and toys, and get a solid practice pad (Remo, Vic Firth, etc.). You can learn a lot - and can practice fundamentals endlessly with that.
Drums are more fun. Music is more fun, and will last you a lifetime.
But absolutely make sure you factor in the cost of lessons.
Yes.
Really and truly, yes.
Welcome!
You’ll find that the volume here is much (much much MUCH!!!) lower than reddit. As frustrating as this can be, the only solution is to stand and create more content. More worthwhile posts, more comments, more interaction. At its height, that was exactly what made reddit successful.
System Shock, the remake by Nightdive.
I’m old enough that I bought and played the original SS back in the day, and it was transformative.
Just search for Slime Rancher.
You are obsessed with this being the norm. I’m not at all convinced it is.
