  • Well, Portuguese is a Latin language, so there's a common root.

  • What is something you dont care to understand or "get"?

  • Some people hang on to their inner child, some let it go. That's just the way it is, it's not better or worse, just different approaches to life.

  • Impeccable taste in puzzle games, congrats!

  • Videogames you always wanted to play but they did disappointed you?

    Jump

  • Haven't played any of the RDR series. I have RDR2 but it won't work in my Linux box.

    A game I had high hopes for was Witcher 3, simply based on internet hype. Somehow it doesn't work for me. Maybe I was expecting a better Skyrim. The main character is too opinionated. The immersion is not there for me.

  • What cultural programming have you overcome?

    Jump

  • Only recently crossed that bridge. Now I dread driving, having to deal with rush hour traffic, finding parking spots, and all the associated stress.

    Public transportation also has issues, but you can use the time to listen to some music, podcasts, audiobooks, online courses, books...

  • What websites do you miss from the 2000s?

    Jump

  • Altavista.

    I'd love to have it back. I hate all the search engines right now.

  • Uptick for the awesome nickname.

  • Dear Meta Smart Glasses Wearers: You're Being Watched, Too

    Jump

  • Enhance your calm, I agree with you.

    It's one of those things that sounds great in sci-fi, like flying cars, until you realise that the world is full of awful people that immediately repurpose any new tech for filthy lucre / inflicting suffering / power grabbing.

  • Or you can just use your common sense and save yourself the cost of this ugly piece of junk.

    People tend to avoid you less if you don't look like a sneaky perv, so that's another bonus.

    Plus, you'll not be funding Meta and you'll have one less piece of rubbish in a drawer somewhere that needs recycling after one month of use.

  • We tasted some of that self regulating 'free market' a while ago. Banks were having huge profits from the housing bubble until the subprime crisis hit, banks went into default, and the losses were picked up by public money.

    My profit. Our losses.

  • I've played it for hours trying to be a completionist, and loved it. Never experienced what you are experiencing. The bike isn't as smooth as it could be, but it's not that bad.

    It's one of those games that never leaves my drive and I revisit occasionally just to hang about and climb stuff.

  • Do you still have faith in humanity?

    Jump

  • I hope you are right.

  • Another One Bites the Dust

    Jump

  • I don't know, and honestly I don't think I want to know.

    Nothing good will come from this knowledge.

  • Do you still have faith in humanity?

    Jump

  • In my defense it was the start of a new millennium, Internet seemed like it would democratize knowledge access and speed up development of sustainable technologies in all fields. Cold war was behind us, so it seemed like history was done and we could enjoy some stability after a bloody XX century.

    But yeah, I should have known better.

  • Do you still have faith in humanity?

    Jump

  • Nah.

    The good part is that I won't be around much longer to see it all go to hell in a handbasket.

    The bad part is that my kids will.

    Sorry about that, kids, I honestly did the best I could.
