I was told to change gender to sex on the apps I develop. I'm pushing to have it removed all together because it's a field that has no relevance and the order is fucking dumb. My niece is trans saying they don't exist doesn't make them not exist.
I was in Bozeman Montana for my wife college friends wedding. The night before we went out to a bar, the doorman got called away and I just started checking peoples IDs, except I was hammered and I'd just stare blankly at the Id look at them and wave them in. I thought I was hilarious as did my wife and the friends of the people getting married.
I smoked a lot of weed, is addictive to a point but after 3 days sober it's not hard to not smoke weed. I haven't smoked weed in years. Nicotine on the other hand has it's claws deep in my soul. I could smoke weed tonight and not touch it again for 3 years, if I was years off of not having nicotine and I had a couple vapes I'd be back to a full time nicotine user within a week. That's both something that has happened and a hypothetical because of have to not currently be a nicotine user.
It doesn't hold up but while it was happening I don't think there was a better gaming experience than Vanilla WoW. Obviously for some it wasn't the first MMO experience, but for many it was, and it was pure magic.
The random friends made, and mortal enemies you would drop everything you were doing to try and kill. Spending 6 hours clearing a dungeon(read wailing caverns) for the first time with random people you met in chat. Getting your first mount, walking into molten core with 39 other people and killing your first raid boss. Getting your first epic. The stupidity of barrens chat/whatever the equivalent the scumbag alliance had. The first time you had guild mates come to your rescue when some no-life higher level person was camping you and it devolving into an impromptu war between everyone in the zone and their friends. That time you pulled off an epic 1 v 2. Shit talking all the other classes in your guilds class chat during raids.
The drama ohh the drama, the e-gf/bf that became peoples husbands and wives, the guild leaders wife e-humping half the guild. Relationships destroyed because someone would rather spend their time in azeroth that just about anything else.
Drooling over the gear the best players on the server had. Battling on the front lines of alterac valley all night, going to bed and rejoining the same battle, sometimes to cheers from your fellow soldiers that you had rejoined the fight.
I don't think there will ever be anything like it again, we know too much, have access to to much info, but for that brief period in time wow was the greatest game ever.
That's a shame, I bought a nzxt computer in 2018 because it was slightly cheaper than building it part for part. Mainly due to the gfx card being way cheaper than I could get it. The crypto boom was driving gfx card prices through the roof at that time. Still runs like a champ and I love my nzxt case. Major bummer they are doing shady shit now.
It happens, but it always comes to light eventually. People are too busy keeping up with their own work to be babysitting someone who doesn't want to put in the effort.
I'm a Lead dev/architect. I'm the least productive when I'm coding because all the other stuff falls through the cracks, like devs doing nothing. I've had to get rid of a few people over the years for not doing anything, they get away with it for a while because I'm not a babysitter but it comes to light eventually and they get the boot.
It's it a possibility? yeah it sure is, but is there any actual evidence of it? Not as of yet so don't be like the MAGgAts and yell about stolen elections until there is actual evidence, a statistical anomaly isn't evidence but I think it provides a good place to look.
