Blind is full of a certain type who are obsessed with net worth and superficial career goals, not surprised in the slightest

You guys beat us at most things, but at least we have the Bledisloe, and fibre internets

Damn, it’s almost like the people that still reddit are the ones you wouldn’t want here in the first place

Yeah I feel my family is one, my wife is even a trainee nurse and hasn’t brought it home, even once she sat next to a classmate for 4hrs who was clearly symptomatic with no mask, kids classes at school have been filled with it, and it’s gone through all my work colleagues, still none of us have tested positive yet

Umm, it’s mentioned in the linked article, pancreatic cancer

Have you got a real world example that is not on the web/social media?

In my experience, the world is not run by NT folks, and if you’re being yelled at as an adult that person doing the yelling is certainly not NT.

As I’ve gotten older I have come to realise everyone is dealing with something, whether it’s a diagnosable condition or not. As an example my wife has anxiety with OCD thrown in, my daughter probably inherited both, my son has some ASD tendencies, my MIL is the biggest narcacist and a complete A-Hole, her partner is a functioning alcoholic with his own issues. Then my mum is likely got mild anxiety, as well as my little brother, older brother has anger issues as well as my father. All this is to say externally you would consider everyone I just mentioned NT, my wife is the only one that has been diagnosed with anything

I’m living in Dublin and even here folks from mainland Europe complain about the lack of non-car related infrastructure, but friends of ours from Indiana absolutely loved being able to get around for the most part without a car. They repeatedly mentioned things like sidewalks just not existing in many places, which seems crazy to me, everywhere I’ve lived has at least been pedestrian friendly enough.

I still visit about 3 sub-reddits, all on a browser with ad-block, and I completely avoid commenting, I probably should start using libreddit. Haven’t touched the front page since the initial blackout

Yup this, my MIL is a pretty shitty person, cheated on my wife’s father right around the time he was dying of cancer, when he did die she kicked my wife out of the house (she was 19 at the time and just lost her father) sold it and moved 4hrs away, didn’t tell my wife where she had gone, no contact number, then proceeded to “poison the well” with her side of the family.

We recently found a letter that was supposed to go to me but never made it, from my MIL’s sister saying how bad a child my wife was and how she made her mother’s life so difficult, all bullshit, plus they didn’t talk to my wife for years after the cheating started.

Thing is, my MIL runs a facade, it wears off in a few days if your staying with her and her narcissistic tendancies come out. She is still with the man she had an affair with, and I refuse to call him family, hes my MIL’s partner if I ever need to explain it, which is often atm because hes almost on his death bed from all the alcoholism and smoking through the years

Verge has done a great job of sensationalizing this email, the actual quote is a lot less of a gotcha than the headline represents

Exactly, Sony had a great start to the PS4, they gained a lot of goodwill because they started that generation on fairly equal footing with Xbox, and MS made a lot of blunders before the consoles even went on sale. At the time, the PS4 was a better deal, and Sony was much more customer-oriented. I was mainly a 360 user, and had a PS3 but it was rarely turned on, but I went all in on PS4.

I reckon however about mid-way through the last gen Sony had enough market share to care a bit more about profits than their customers. Mainly the issues around cross-play and cross-save, some say their stance on back-compat wasn’t great, but I’m not sure I agree because it’s likely largely a technical issue.

When the mid-gen refresh started coming around, I seriously considered switching to Xbox, but PSVR helped me stay in the Sony eco-system, but I did end up going all in on Xbox for this current gen, and am happy I have done, sure I miss out on some Sony exclusives, but I certainly appreciate the user-experience more on Xbox, with things like quick-resume and smart-delivery making Xbox feel truly next-gen
