Have you looked into gardening? Healthy, rewarding, easy to get started, room to grow (if you’ll pardon the pun)…

To add another: ‘pants’ means trousers in the US, but in the UK it means underpants. Can lead to some funny misinterpretations.

Hey now, don’t rope the rest of us in with the USA’s bizarro puritanical approach to TV censorship. You can blaspheme to your heart’s content on TV in the UK.

Avoid taking your phones in the bathroom, as it can expose you to radiation and increase your chances of haemorrhoids.

Emphasis mine, but seeing this made me immediately discount this site as a reputable source.

My friend used to bring Game Gear instruction manuals in to school. We’d sit and read them in the playground.

I never owned a Game Gear but somehow have nostalgia for those games - the instructions created these perfect versions in my imagination that never got shattered by having to actually play them.

I can see that argument, sure. The fact that they asked people not to use it suggests it is having some effect on their brand.

I didn’t say I approve of the current tactics, I’m just pointing out that circumstances can be more complex than simply saying ‘let the parents sort it out’ and leaving it at that.

The issue with this argument is that many kids don’t have good parents, and some don’t have any parents at all.

Are those kids just supposed to be left to the mercy of bad actors because of their circumstances?

I’ll probably attract downvotes for this, but I find ‘Microslop’ as cringeworthy as old staples like Micro$haft or Crapple.

Like, yeah, they’re shitty companies. But calling them childish names just comes across as petty and insecure, kind of like when Trump gives someone a dumb nickname.

And now Rosetta is getting deprecated in the next release too!

Very few things in game dev are as simple as checking a box in the engine, unfortunately.

To distribute a macOS game on Steam I believe the app needs to be signed and notarised, which requires several extra steps and a (paid) Apple Developer account. It’s one reason why many devs simply don’t bother supporting the platform.

No, there’s no way to easily install Windows on Apple Silicon like back in the days of Bootcamp on Intel. If there’s no native macOS version of a game, you have to use translation layers like you would on Linux - either Wine or Apple’s own Game Porting Toolkit.

There’s also no support for 32-bit apps any more, so many older games with native macOS releases don’t work anymore either.

That said, when I looked through my Steam & GOG libraries on Mac I was surprised at how many games do apparently run natively. Far more than I expected. But it’s just a curiosity really - if I want to play a game I’ll use my PC.

Because sports teams aren’t just indistinguishable entities; they’re complex organisations with histories, tendencies, and traditions, and that’s before looking at individual players and coaches/managers.

Who dat! ⚜️

People support teams for all manner of reasons. Hometown is one of them, sure, but you don’t have to live somewhere to support a team there.

I’ve known plenty of people who supported distant teams because they visited once and liked it, because one of their parents support them, or even just because they like the uniform colours or the mascot.

I follow the New Orleans Saints and I’ve never been there.

Cynically? Because what they want to do rarely aligns with what people actually want. It’s far easier to just push through unpopular legislation and spin it retroactively than it is to run a full propaganda campaign ahead of a referendum and still risk losing.

Politicians only run referendums if they’re sure the outcome will be what they want, or if their hand is forced by the opposition.

I’d call it a mix of jazz and trip hop.

Not really an answer, but the definition of a ‘regular-ass house’ is very different in the UK/EU compared to the US. American suburban homes are huge.

That’s just not true, at least in the UK. Debit cards are the standard here, not credit, and they don’t have the same age restrictions.
