Don't get me wrong: I'd love to see him tried, convicted, and put in prison. I just don't see any path open for it to happen. Certainly not until 2029. That's the earliest time for it. Does anyone think age and infirmity won't take him, before then? I'm just saying.

I've never been convinced of this, from a logical perspective. What would suddenly change, just because he's not in office? Congress would suddenly be willing to investigate? Vance and Johnson would be willing to incur the wrath of the MAGA faithful by arresting him? You really think it's likely?

They have the money to put him wherever is best for him. This is not a matter of "she's getting rid of him." This is a painful decision, mainly made with his well-being and comfort in mind. People need to sit down, shut up, and be thankful that, yep, they CLEARLY have no experience with this shit.

My family had a border collie mix, way back in the day. We then got a weird little shi-tzu, mixed with who even knows. The important thing is, he had curly hair, like a sheep. Well, a lamb. He was about the size of a 7-layer burrito. The border collie recognized him as a lamb and herded him.

Buhurt is just "smash real hard with sword or club." I'm not saying women can't do that, but it opens them up to stupid comparisons with men doing the same thing. In real HEMA, it's very obvious who is skilled and who is just trying to brute-force the situation, regardless.

Real HEMA focuses on the equalizing factors of bladed weapons, in a simulated context. Real sword techniques are about timing, distance, footwork, precision, speed, strategy, body mechanics, and situational awareness. Buhurt has nothing to do with any of this.

The twin analog stick design had been established for quite a while, before they settled on left-stick = movement, right stick = camera control. Games settled on modern-ish racing and flight game use cases, long before FPS ones.

I can't even remember what the original, weird-ass setup for the analog sticks in FPS games was, but it was INSANE. Weird shit, like having the X axis mouse-look on one stick and Y on another.

In the world we were meant to live in, these poor people would have an actual restaurant, like, in a permanent building. Instead, you guys are defending them being shuttled around in some kind of godforsaken mobile sweatshop. Oh, but I'M the asshole, for pointing this out.

The exploited migrant employees are fine with me. They're not doing anything wrong. But, as I said, the asshole who owns the "pop up" is a gentrifying piece of shit. As I said, by definition.

I hasten to add that I don't blame the poor immigrant workers that OP is talking about, in the original post. They gotta do what they gotta do. They're refugees. But the shithead that owns the "pop up" is a gentrifying asshole, by definition. Again, it just is what it is.

I almost deleted the previous post, because I felt the word "morals" might be too strong. But, thinking about it, I gotta stick to my guns. Gentrification IS immoral, and pretentious pop-up shops are a symptom of gentrification, therefore they are immoral. It is what it is.

Yeah, but there's a balance between nice things and posh, gentrified, pretentious bullshit. You probably grew up in a gentrified zone, and it screwed up your perceptions and morals. You can't see what I'm seeing, here, so don't bother thinking too much harder about it.

Not even "city folks." I'm perfectly comfortable in urban areas, I like city folks. It's POSH nonsense, is what it is.

The rational side of me wants to admit that those are at least minimally cromulent reasons. But my feelings tell me "nope, it's still all a bunch of overpriced, pretentious, city-folks-are-better-than-you-ass nonsense"

Note that early console FPS games used a WILDLY different default setup, which bears no resemblance to WASD.

Also, I disagree with your premise that the Xbox controller was designed to "replace WASD" or any other keyboard standards. Gamepads largely evolved on their own track, almost completely ignoring any keyboard + mouse conventions.

I have a couple of those gamepads that have extra buttons on the back, and I just never use the extra ones. You either have to keep readjusting your grip to press them (which defeats the "easy access" purpose) or use some kind of grip where you're sorta almost pressing them, all the time.

I don't think there is a solution that can provide more finger usage, without just reinventing the keyboard, and losing the key characteristics of a controller. At the end of the day, you need some of your fingers to be physically holding the object, against the force of gravity. That's a limit.

And please, if you're going to come at me, defending pop ups, MAKE SURE YOU CAN IDENTIFY AT LEAST THREE ADVANTAGES THAT A "POP UP" BUSINESS HAS OVER TRADITIONAL FOOD TRUCKS, CARTS, STALLS, ETC. I can only think of one, and it's marginal.

And people say migrants refuse to integrate into the local culture. If I moved to a major city, I'd have to be there for DECADES before I managed to shed my prejudice that "pop up" restaurants/shops are egregiously pretentious bullshit. These guys held their noses and dove right into that shit.

We're never gonna be THAT lucky. Best case would be more of a Matrix thing, where we all wake up in disgusting amniotic pods, dragging air hoses and feeding tubes out of our faces, and continuing to sob/cough, as we try to peel off our cyber diapers to see what our actual body's genitals are like.

Bonus points: when the jersey just says "Emirates," you think that's the main home uniform. When it says "Fly Emirates," you think that's their away colors. When they ask what city you think is their home city, look at them like they're a moron and say "Emirates."
