I agree on a personal level. FOSS software is much more convenient for my usecase of writing papers/typsetting notes, some automation, writing a program that works for me, and browsing/videos.

On the level of someone working in academia, it can be incredibly inconvenient if not outright impossible to implement. I can manage if I come across a bug in some FOSS software in my personal usage. An enterprise encountering an error with some utility whose support forum is a discord server: completely unacceptable. The entire printing service being offline because CUPS is temperamental: completely unacceptable.

Enterprises are the core customers of these inconvenient pieces of software with subscription based models.

Pad thai isn’t even that spicy. Who’s ordering a super spicy pad thai?

It’s not a necessary tool for all fields. I don’t know your area but mathematics journals have vastly different style guides and citation standards. The best way to handle this is to export a bibtex citation which is just a list of metadata tags, then plug in the journal’s style header before compiling your TeX.

That’s because mathematicians use log for the natural logarithm. Log base 10 would be log_10

The thing I’d be more concerned with is establishing unreal expectations around sex based on overproduced porn. Like, it’s not a normal expectation to fold someone into a pretzel and jackhammer their ass for 30 minutes.

Do you keep restarting or wiping on fights? There simply isn’t 120 hours of content in a single playthrough of act I.

The good old Narcissist’s Tankie’s Prayer:

That didn’t happen,

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad,

And if it was, that’s not a big deal,

And if it is, that’s not my fault,

And if it was, that’s Western propaganda,

And if it isn’t, you deserved it.

“Depression is a myth; tidy your room. Also, I’ve been clinically depressed for my whole adult life and I shamble from one crisis to another.”

That’s capitalism and it’s obsession with ever-increasing profits for you. Often times a video game company sees the most layoffs the year after a major release. Cutting expenditure such as employee salaries simulates profit.

The Witcher 2, though it’s more of an exploit.

If you get the sword from the Lady of the Lake in the previous game, you start the prologue of TW2 with two silver swords, one being the Lady of the Lake sword. Unequip the Lady of the Lake sword so you don’t lose it to the dragon.

You now have a mid-tier silver sword that is good for half the game. You also don’t need to find a new silver sword at the start of the game.

The 19 that is face up is the check after modifiers are added. Your unmodified roll is 9 and you have a +10 modifier

York isn’t in the Americas. It’s also a former Viking settlement, Jorvik. A millenium later and I’m in the same place, following the same diet of meat and bread.

Turns put I’m a bit basic with my choice of Dragonborn Paladin (Oathbreaker Dark Urge). I’m a sucker for charisma classes that can hit like a truck.

I’m hoping for some unique interactions as a tiefling next time around.

I need a HD train suplex.
