At the time it felt like I should be learning something but I just felt a bit ashamed, being nagged and all. Yk the saying, wisdom was chasing me but I was faster. Just needed my knees and back to ache for it to catch up. It honestly wasn't even age that got it to land. I just met people that didn't really go to the same places I did, or had a different idea of a hangout spot. I needed to see stuff with my own eyes to learn.

I'm slowly making my way through leftist theory, and introducing my equally-as-privileged friends into it, and have managed to change some of their beliefs which previously were set in stone. They're still liberal as shit, but at least now understand socialism/communism isn't just people trying to take their stuff.

Must've been around 13-15, went to a pizza hut with my then girlfriend. I saw a darker skinner, heavy-set lady walking over to the counter with her two kids, all of them looking a little dishevelled. Without thinking I said "She looks poor" in probably a demeaning manner to my girlfriend, and she answered "you say that like it's her fault".

I'm dumb as fuck so the penny didn't drop until several years later about the reality of my privilege, and how unfair and fucked up the system really is. Nearly ended up alt-right, now I'm a comrade.

Lady butterfly. Died 47 times against her. I'd always dodged instead of parry in soulslikes, and she kicked my ass over it.

Hm, yeah that's more than reasonable.

Any guitar under $700 with any feature you'd expect to be standard in medium to high end guitars. If a brand new guitar has a floyd rose but is $300, it won't hold tuning, and the screws will strip easily.

Not saying expensive guitars are good by default, but there's very little room for innovation in the guitar world, and corner cutting will happen in cheaper guitars.

Not OP, but I kinda agree. Around where I'm at, posh accents are really annoying.

drinks/imbibes beyond group vibes.

How about drinking while cooking? Yk, having wine while cooking steak au jus or something.

i'm probably in the minority w this, but blending in is comfortable as hell, as someone who doesn't really enjoy being social.

Long after the pandemic was under control I was still using a mask, partly due to health concerns back home, but mostly because with a mask, cap, and glasses, I could walk by people I know but would rather not strike up conversation.

Not necessarily. I'm not in the US, but we've imported a lot of their less savoury customs, and tipping culture is one of them. It is costumary to tip 18% where I'm from.

It just seems like a contrived and long name to me, but yeah, its minor. Honestly the map looks cool, but I want assurance about things that worry me going forward for me to know I'll return to the game, like how controller assist will work, and if I can opt out of queueing with people who use it.

So, are they changing the game's name? I understand the August update is sort of a soft relaunch.

Yuuuup. I received half a class in the thing that I decided would make or break my thesis project.

Got analysis paralysis the whole time I was researching how to do it, and ended up doing it in about a week in a half, in which I slept for about 8h total. Was congratulated on it by the board, but I'll never in my life work in that sort of thing again if I can help it.
