  I’m pretty sure the love for Warcraft III evenly splits X and Y.

  Nah, alcohol shares the same boat. There are lots of examples if you really dig into the effects of various things. Alcohol and tobacco just kill you so slowly that it doesn’t drop profits.

  Customer taste preferences are definitely odd. I liked their pizza before the change, and really liked it afterwards.

  Aye, the difference between me, diagnosed in preteens, and my friend, diagnosed at 3, is immense. I still have the odd craving and sometimes indulge with stupid results. She? Never even crosses her mind.

  Lol, just around the corner is right. My doctor, waaaay back in the 90s, said a cure was 10-15 years away. I think it’s just language they use. Especially when they are talking to the extremely sick/depressed who just learned what they have.

  That’s a culture-thing. I’m a member of two forums that are still pretty active. One views dead thread revivals as amusing, the other almost literally has a celebration in-thread when it happens as all the members with older posts in it come piling in. Heck, the second forum has a thread so active that people literally ask for, and get, recaps for the last X amount of time for it.

  That just…seems so wrong. My mentally declining grandmother used firefox back in the 00s era (though now that I think about it, my uncle is a developer, so maybe he set up the computer). How have we backslid since then to where so few people know/use firefox?

  It’s still hiding it, just like when a corporation changes their name, or is bought out by another but doesn’t change their name. Yes, you can figure it out by going to a website somewhere, or reading a newspaper from a decade ago… plenty of ways to find out, it’s just slightly less obvious.

  I never said it was in bad faith.

  Honestly, it’s quite enjoyable to watch from the sidelines. The only thing that annoys me is you can hide that you’re posting from an instance by editing your name (just like OP has done), and it seems every hexbear does it.

  So PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net isn’t from hexbear? And he’s brand new after being a member since July 2020? Damn, color me surprised.

  Half the fun is seeing how people try to fuck with you, and fucking with them back. Burner phone, though, never a real connection that you care about.

  I have little doubt that apple still uses things like wi-fi and bluetooth even if they are completely turned off. I complained when they made the change to the control panel. If I want bluetooth or wifi off, no button I push should turn it off partially or for “24 hours.”
