Gave me flashbacks about receiving emails from them about connecting to friends of mine on their platform long before I ever interacted with any of said platforms in any way.

With a properly packaged python app, you shouldn’t even notice you’re running a python app. But yeah, for some reason there’s a lot of them that … aren’t.

I cancelled Spotify when they started pushing podcasts in my music app, with no way to turn it off.

Why pay for a service that actively pushes you towards stuff you don’t want? Especially if there’s alternatives that cost the same and … don’t do that.

Seconded. Have been running it on both my main desktop and laptop for five years with no issues.

I mean, he’s probably gonna say “Yeah, sure, whatever” to most things the crazy people around him propose.

In a functioning democracy, a vote should be secret by default, and that should be the social expectation. If you wanna tell people, sure, but not in a way where your actual vote can be proven.

I’ve always used anti-abortion. Pro-life just isn’t an accurate descriptor, and a “pro-life protest”, or a “pro-life bill” seem like undeserved euphemisms considering what they want. Outlawing executions would be a pro-life bill.

People always focus on the romances, but I feel like you could take them out completely and still have pretty much the same great game.

Sure, but I get what they mean. Sometimes you have a minority character that doesn’t very much seem to interact with the plot, nor has many discernable personality trait beyond being part of a minority.

Representation matters, but it should be done in a way that makes the characters actual people, not just a tick in a checkbox.

Apologies for being slightly tasteless, but - investigators reportedly heard food had allegedly been handled by an individual known to be ‘full of shit’ in a recent incident.

I’ve also got the cheapest possible pledge. Played the game with friends a bunch, was a lot of fun when it worked.

Honestly, I feel like I got my money’s worth. If it comes out, nice, if it doesn’t, oh well.

As an amateur with an audio interface and a few mics - you don’t need to know all that much to avoid that mistake.

You don’t. Autobahnen usually exist between cities, and are separate from other types of traffic. Your vehicle also needs to meet a minimum speed requirement to be allowed on. When an Autobahn runs through a city, there’s usually a grade separation.
