This affects me in ways I do not like.

She’s not wrong.

Achievements basically boil down to “does it matter to me that other people see that I’ve accomplished something” and that only matters “if it matters to other people that my achievements are worth knowing”. It’s essentially trying to generate interest in a game by creating this social competition and of course FOMO. So I guess it’s just social media advertising.

In my case none of this matters. I play mostly single player games because I enjoy them, not because I care what other people think. Having that info in game is sometimes cool if I want to know I’ve finished everything there is to finish.

From a game developers standpoint this data could be useful. Is this part being used? How long does it take? At what part in the game did they accomplish it? That sorta thing. The publishing of that data in a public space is different beast.

Proton AG clarified they shared no data directly with the FBI

“I’m gonna put this data in this box right here, the one labeled ‘Private Data’. If the FBI takes that data and does something with it, I had nothing to do with it and didn’t give them the data directly”

Um… no I don’t.

Go ahead and reinstate the draft. You think people are protesting now… try to force our kids over there on this pointless war and you’ll some serious protesting.

The poor don’t give money to defense contractors.

Jesus, really?

This is very true.

Margarine is essentially vegan and a pretty ok substitute. I’ve had vegan butter that was also not terrible. Country crock makes some plant based cream that I actually very much like whipped cream from. My wife makes this stabilized whipped cream (think cream and instant pudding) that is absolutely amazing. Now cheese… that’s a totally different story. It always tastes like plastic to me. And don’t get me started on cream cheese. My wife tried to make a vegan cheese cake once. Let’s just say it didn’t go so well.

My stepson’s family is vegan. My thought is some of it is good, most of it is depressing.

I could probably do vegetarian but no fucking way I’m giving up butter and cheese.

We have those in the south too.

BTW Culver’s is da’ fuckin’ bomb.

Dynamic pricing = unbridled greed

Pockets that low on my knees would drive me nuts.

Just the wrong ones.

Why couldn’t one of them have been a sex tape from the bed on the plane? Not that it would have mattered. It probably would have solidified her job with Trump. Never mind, I rescind my previous statement.

Traitors. The lot of them.

No one person should have that power. Especially not with respect to the most powerful military in the world.

It’s why there a two keys to launch nukes.
