You probably don’t have fantasies of sex with odd slugs in proxima centauri. You probably don’t dream of being a brain parasite.
You’re making some big assumptions here

don’t stick your nose into other people’s business
That’s a slightly different expression than “mind your beeswax”. I was thinking there’s no equivalent in Romanian, “mind your business” is already simple and direct, and you can replace “business” with something context-relevant. But for “don’t stick your nose into other people’s business” there are multiple equivalent expressions: “don’t come in where your pot is not boiling”, “don’t come in like a fly in milk”, and I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting now.

Not sure where you got that idea. Pizza was brought to America by Italian immigrants, but it has existed for long before that. Modern pizza is well known to have originated in Naples.

As a fan if open world RPGs, Valhalla was a great game for me, and I didn’t have any past expectations of an AC game to go by (it was many years since I played Unity when I got into Valhalla).
I definitely enjoyed Unity and didn’t know about its bad reputation until after I finished Valhalla and started looking into which one I should play next. But coming to it again after playing all the previous ones, there was a definite “wtf, why is this not as polished as Black Flag” moment when I statted. There are also some big changes from previous games that I had to get used to (no more whistling, no human shield), but I’m still enjoying it and I remember how much I loved exploring Paris the first time I played it (now I’m playing it more in completionist mode than stopping to take in the view).

TL;DR I’m playing Assassin’s Creed Unity this week.
I’ve been playing the entire Assassin’s Creed franchise in release order and this week I’m at Unity. It was actually the first Assassin’s Creed game I’ve ever owned, bought the collector’s edition when it came out.
I first heard of and saw Assassin’s Creed when Black Flag released a free demo on the Xbox One. I absolutely loved it, so the first game in the series to come out after that I just bought right away (and it was Unity). I played it a bunch, finished it and most achievements, but didn’t really stay with me that much.
The next game in the series that drew my attention was Valhalla and when I saw it on sale for a ridiculously low price I just snatched it up. Absolutely loved that game, played it to 100% completion of everything, got the game pass and exhausted all content possible out of it.
But there was a lot of present-day back-story in Valhalla that I didn’t know about, which is why I decided to go back to the beginning of the series and play every game. It has been a great journey, I love seeing how the series progressed, and I also now understand why Unity has such low reviews (every game so far has been a visible improvement over the previous one, except Unity which looks and plays worse than Black Flag). I’m still going to 100% it before moving on though (looks like back in 2014 I didn’t go for 100% on the main sequence, so I scrapped my save file and started over, since I didn’t remember the story anyway).

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 month ago:
I just never got used to it. I grew up drinking club soda or sparkling mineral water. Also milk, I would drink a liters of milk a day for a time, but no water. Flat water just doesn’t do it for me. If it’s ice cold, it’s ok, but I never think “I feel like I’d like some water now”.

- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 1 month ago:
No, the kid’s answer is not “just as right”, it is the correct and expected answer. The teacher’s answer is wrong and proof the teacher doesn’t understand the question. The entire point of the question is understanding that fractions of a whole are relative to that whole and you can’t directly compare fractions from different wholes like that. 5/6 > 4/6 doesn’t mean Luis ate more pizza than Marty, it means Luis ate a larger share of his pizza than Marty ate out of his own.

That’s not small talk, that’s planning what to do today. You can open the same conversation with “hey, what do you want to do today?”
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 months ago:
you’ve found out what their opinion on free will and almost every other deep conversation you could have with them in the first few years
I met my wife when we were 16-17. We are in our 40s now. It’s reasonable to expect that our opinions on such subjects have changed since then.
But there are plenty of subjects to talk about. How is the current environment in the US going to impact our kids’ lives going forward? Even if we know each other’s general perspectives on life, the universe, and everything, that doesn’t mean we can also predict opinions on complex scenarios and situations.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 months ago:
talking about things with very low impact or consequences
Isn’t that the definition of small talk?
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 months ago:
The free will question is much closer to the conversations I was having with my wife before we got married. We were talking for hours every day, I can’t imagine spending hours on small talk.

- Comment on You never forget your first 2 months ago:
Never had a console growing up. PC all the way. Started with a ZX Spectrum clone, then a 286, then a Pentium 100, and so on. I got my first consoles as an adult, first the Xbox One, which I never really played anything other than Just Dance on, then a Switch, which I couldn’t really get into either and ended up playing more on Ryujinx than on the actual switch. Bought an old 3DS at one point and its also just sitting in a drawer. Guess I’m too much of a PC gamer to get into consoles.

That is one page on the Sharp website. The Sharp website still being up is not surprising. That product page still being there means that Sharp never deleted it and didn’t change whatever engine they use for their site.
