That is incredibly dismissive to the real dysphoria, depression, and anxiety that men can feel when they experience hair loss. It’s awesome that you either aren’t bald yet or weathered the storm well, but dismissing other’s experiences is a real dick move.

Sure, if I’m meeting a vendor for lunch it would be normal. If I’m just sitting at my desk working through lunch like I typically do, it would be really strange to have a drink and I’d probably be reprimanded.

That sounds like a great time. Maybe I’ll give the truck sim games a fair shake. Is there any you recommend? Looks like there’s a lot of them on Steam

I’ve always wondered about the appeal of the truck simulator games. Personally I hate driving and it gives me a lot of anxiety, but I’ve heard that people find the game to be meditative and relaxing. Is that your experience with it?

Final Fantasy XI. I have thousands of hours into it on a free private server and it never gets old. Everything about the game is just perfect to scratch the dopamine loop for me.

“I’m in a contract position, and hoping to find something long-term with the potential for upward mobility.”

I’d do 1 part vinegar to 4 or 5 parts water and go from there. Try a small area in the corner first to make sure it won’t damage your finish.

Is it in the grooves between the boards? If so, shop vac. If it’s stuck to the surface, try mopping with water and vinegar.

This is a creepy ask. People are using those types of generators to create fake nudes to harass people. Here’s a statement from an underage victim of these type of apps:

I feel like that was a major violation of our privacy while, like, the bad actors were taken out of their classes privately. When I left the principal’s office, I was walking through a hallway, and I saw these group of boys laughing at these group of girls crying. And that’s when I realized I should stop crying and be mad, because this is unacceptable.

Weird, it doesn’t look that way on my end.

Creating a database of nazis, publishing it, and harassing them seems like a great way to get sent to guantanamo, regardless of whether it’s actually legal or not.

It would be easier to just find nazi comments on social media where people use their real names and faces, like Facebook. I keep track of which businesses hire the bigots and never shop/eat there. Voting with your wallet and all.

They’re wireless, so no, it’s not an audio jack issue lol. Other brands worked fine. Steelseries used to be godly in the 2000s but they’re trash now.

I gotta disagree with you. I’ve tried the Arctis 1, 5, and 7 and they were all trash at audio conferencing - lots of complaints of static and audio cutting out from my clients. When I contacted their support they said that their headsets aren’t meant to be “business quality” and only to be used for gaming. I returned them and went Logitech.

Avoid the Corsair, they’re horrible for teleconferences. I can’t speak to that particular Logitech model, but I’ve had good luck with their other professional headsets.

Personally for wireless situations I use Samsung Galaxy Buds for audio and a wired mic.

Peanut Buster Parfait from DQ. It was the highlight of my summers as a kid.

I agree that voice is what matters, but I feel that femshep is way better than male shep. Agreed on V, though.

The 90s shows ReBoot and a modern day MMO. Any, really. It would be badass to see the Guardians get stuck in an MMO and try to beat the MSQ to escape, all while fighting a virus that infected the game. It would be like Sword Art.

Major roadblocks to piracy and porn in the US. Piracy will never be eliminated, but the barrier to entry will become too difficult for most folks. I’ve subsequently been hoarding all of the media I can get my hands on in case this happens - I refuse to pay for 20 streaming services just to watch movies and TV.

Tl:dr Discovered I have a phobia for sleight-of-hand magicians and it ruined the most romantic opportunity of my life.

I booked an expensive, bougie hotel room for me and my (at the time) boyfriend, and we were planning on a wild night. He asked me to leave the room for an hour for him to prepare, so I went to the hotel bar for a drink. A guy approached me to bum a cig and began doing random magic tricks - pulling cards out of nowhere, making things appear in my pocket, and making ashes appear in my palm. I’m not sure why, but I absolutely panicked - it felt so violating to think that he was in my pockets and making things happen to my body without my knowledge or consent.

I ended up in a full blown panic attack and rushed back to the room. My partner was fully ready for an amazing romantic encounter, with rose petals and champagne and everything. I ended up just hyperventilating and ranting about scary magicians then fell asleep. I felt so bad that I ruined the night. I still get anxiety when I see magic tricks.
