Plus, even if he really doesn’t have an account, then that’s worrisome as well because if you’re struggling to pay for your kids tuition, that raises concerns about being more susceptible to bribery. That’s why one of the things they look into when you get clearance is are you struggling financially.

To your point about watching YouTube with adblockers still helping Google due to viewership numbers. That’s exactly why after I stopped supporting blizzard (at first due to the blutzchung controversy, then everything else that happened) I immediately stopped playing hearthstone, yes, I was playing it free, I never spent any money on it, but I didn’t want to even indirectly help by giving them usage statistics, or by giving paying people even a little bit of a quicker matchmaking.

So this comment made me curious, so I did a little looking, and according to the authors LinkedIn, he went to college in 1990, therefore he was most likely born around 1972, which means he wouldn’t be a millennial. So it looks like you’re correct, in this case at least, it’s not a millennial thing.

Honestly, I pretty much only use mine for relatively cheap home speaker groups.

As to his voice quality going down, I know it’s been a while since he did snake, but just watching this video I agree. Honestly, if I didn’t see him, and I just heard his voice at the end, I would assume it was a different actor.

I do that with SOPs, part of my job if to create them for a new system we’re using. I essentially just create bullet points, say hey, can you make the following into an SOP? And paste my bullets. It spits out a pretty clean looking SOP that I just need to go in and edit a bit. It’s really useful.

Microsoft is not in the process of trying to buy Nintendo. Did they discuss it? Yes, obviously, any company would be idiotic to not at least discuss things like opportunities from purchasing competitors, but I read the emails, at no point did they even sound like it was something they were “trying” to do.

As a matter of fact, and this is just conjecture from me, but to me it read it like, somebody not in the gaming space emailed Phil about wouldn’t it be great to buy Nintendo and Phil’s response to me read like someone who got a suggestion from a boss that’s a dumb suggestion, they know it’s a dumb suggestion, but they need to be courteous in their response by entertaining the idea.

I fucking loved when Pokémon go came it, it was so great, but a couple of months after it came out, I was going to the beach, and i was so excited. I figured, going to the beach, I would be swimming in water type Pokémon, then when I got there, I was like, oh, it’s the same zubats at home. Never really played it after.

100% that, plus more competition.

There was a point where I had planned on getting a tesla for my next car, but now I’m avoiding it like the plague.

When I was in college, I had a friend from Iran, she moved to America when she was a teenager. We had both an English and a Spanish class (which growing up I was taught Spanish pretty much every year) together. She did better in both than me. ☺️
