I think the main problem with the wii-u was literally just the name

Better is better. Everything else is just silly pointless judgment

Aspirin is an NSAID

Fyi the word for nieces and nephews is niblings. That way you can just say a single word

I’m somewhat sure that when your pay for a subscription through the play store that it doesn’t send your full credit card information to any 3rd party, it’s google itself that does the credit card transaction

If i could freeze technology at a particular era it wouldn’t be the 80s. I think i would pick some time after social media existed but before it was weaponized. So like maybe early 2010’s. Up through about the early 2010s it seemed like tech was constantly making life better, but since then it seems like tech is increasingly making life worse

Just because a show was “filmed in front of a live studio audience” that doesn’t meant it didn’t have a laugh track as well. Lots of shows filmed in front of a studio audience ALSO added tons of laugh track

An ancient cheap small laptop would do it fine. Plex or Jellyfin software

Just to clarify, are you talking about preserving stuff that was already on the Internet, or are you talking about like paper cookbooks and other digital materials? Because for Internet materials archive.org backs up the entire web, including all the recipes.

What is a Mister device?

News Flash: Cause and effect exists. People don’t pop into existence each day as a brand new slate unaffected by their past.

There may or may not be value to the study, but this pop-sci article is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

That’s the correct reaction

It’ll be in the air too. Anything in the soil will become dust in the air for years. It’ll get kicked into the air every time a lawn is mowed, a hole gets dug, a dry season occurs, etc

We do have those things. That’s how many technologies already work.

The caller is clearly trolling

Me as well. I crack up at nonsense type comedy like the eric andre show, and imo this snl skit is just plain unfunny

There are lots of places that still look exactly the same way today

The drawings are so expressive!

I didn’t read your whole comment, but from what i did read I can say this is basically the correct answer. The only thing I’d add is to also include nice sentiments and productivity explanations.

Like:

“Hey [person’s name], do you have a couple minutes? I wanna have a quick chat. I wanna let you know that I’m a significant introvert, which means i need alone time and and social boundaries. I think you’re a very nice person and i appreciate all the efforts you’ve made trying to connect with me, but that actually makes things more difficult for me. It emotionally stresses me out, and that in turn also reduces my productivity at work. I think you’re great, but it would be really helpful to me if there were no extra social interactions with me beyond what’s needed for our work to get done smoothly. I know you have good intentions when asking about my personal life and striking up conversations, and i honestly appreciate that intent, but it would be great if I could have social interactions kept to the minimum. I really appreciate your consideration on this stuff, thanks.”
