I'm glad I haven't had one in a good while, because I usually order extra onions 😂

Betteridge's law of headlines

Maybe there's a silver lining? I'm just a clueless cis guy but for someone to talk to you from that (unkind) angle wouldn't it mean they're assuming you're male, and therefore passing?

Appreciate you!

Raspberry Pis and other microcomputers can be had for pretty cheap, and they can be put to a surprising variety of tasks. You need to be a bit of a jack of all trades to fully embrace that DIY element, but I'd bet that showing off a project that you mostly built yourself would be seen as futuristic by most people.

I've wanted one of these for decades but I thought they weren't legal to purchase in my country anymore. I'm living vicariously through you.

You have no idea what you're talking about, please refrain from giving computer advice

That sounds ridiculous?? Ours are on the left...

Globally disabling autoplay in my browser brought me so much sanity. It's worth the small fraction of sites that behave badly because of it

Elite:Dangerous is sad for its own reasons, too, and I have a similar count of hours logged. Glacial pace of development and a lack of strong game design / sense for balance. I'm still stunned by how much of a selling point the background simulation was, and how limited it actually is in practice (it did get some love over the years, but far too little too late IMO.)

Odd, I've never had that experience. Maybe you're using a VPN or something that makes your IP look more suspicious.

Validation level is set by server owners, you are unlikely to need to verify a phone number except in the biggest (and therefore spammiest) servers

They're replacing chain link fence, not installing it, you may have misread the OP

Of course it's Nexon.

I feel bad that people like this are reinforcing the stereotype about the name Karen.
