My biggest pet peeve is when an action/adventure type anime takes forever to get to what they set out to do with just talk no actual action.

Like One Piece's Alabasta Arc was a perfect example of it. I left the series for a solid like 6 months before going back to it because that arc was so tedious to watch. Tons of episodes of what is going to happen, and what needs to happen, but no episodes of actually doing what needs to happen.

this is how I manage blocks. Temporary bans unless it's a repeat offender.

This is like the third or fourth post in a few days I've seen that show the "blank" image on it. Did an image handler suddenly change how images are served or something? No image shows. (fits the community btw, because is mildly infuriating lol)

makes sense, you make less money on gamepass once established. It's great for lesser known games and starting out but, when you have a game as big as Helldivers where the name is already out there, putting it on gamepass stifles sales.

I think they need to step back a little and address their quality control before they try to embrace the AI bandwagon on captions/subtitles.

lol @ the maga hat, Like I would ever be caught with that(well technically I wouldn't be caught endorsing either sides tbh, they both suck currently).

As an actual answer though, it doesn't take much to differentiate someone from the US, especially Maine from someone from Canada. Attire generally gives it away but, if attire doesn't give it away, accent definitely will. and if somehow neither of those give it away, the first few questions at a table are generally a courteous "so where you guys from and whats your name". Which unless you lie, would also give it away.

, As much as it would suck, your first goal is probably trying to reestablish citizenship, which is a long and arduous process in the most countries.

Thankfully in most civilized countries they've signed a pact saying that they won't deport people if they have nowhere to go because that creates a status that is known as stateless, And it's an obligation on the country is that sign those pacs to not force someone out if they don't belong to a country.

Being said, depending on country you may end up being detained while you do that process., It won't be great, but it's not like you're going to send to die either.

I went on an MSC cruise a few months back to the bahamas and that was a legitimate issue we ran into.

The cruise was almost entirely Canadians, So you could totally tell that they were trying to actively avoid us and a few even were worried about sitting at the same table as us during lunch settings.

All of the family that did end up sitting with us was super kind. However, it was clear that they were creeped out for the first five or six minutes until they realized that we weren't going to bite or at them.

The way privacy cards work are very similar to when you close a bank account where The account still exists for a certain amount of time afterwards It just can't be charged too further, so refunds or canceling of previous ones will work fine. However, charging new stuff to the card will not.

The argument here is that they don't need to open source or switch over to an FOSS license.

They just need to not actively prohibit people from doing custom servers and they need to release their own server files wheb their support period ends.

If that ends with violating a license agreement they have with another company that is exclusively a that company problem because as shown in the past, law supercedes agreement and contracts.

It will basically put branding companies at a either they don't agree to let their stuff be used in games and not get the money for it, or they decide that it really doesn't matter all that much if a community project can use their stuff. Simple choice

Definitely keep signing, I'm really concerned at the speed it rose , and I'm really hoping there wasn't something else at play here.

I mean I wasn't planning on getting sub 2 after the shitshow that was below zero, the studio is clear they didn't understand what caused the magic in the first game, and failed at delivery in the second one.
