I gave up on playing chess. The game has become such a metaphor, such a fetish symbol for intellect, so every dude "knows how to play", but won't risk the humiliation of loss, and therefore won't play. I don't enjoy online chess, so I just don't get to play.
This is true! Ignorance of Linux is the no1 reason people don't adopt it. This is doubly hard for Window-brains because the concept of choosing an OS is foreign to them. From their perspective it's your boss, your school, or your parents who choose your OS.
At this point, I have difficulty following a conversation in the same room where a TV is playing.
I found the motorcycle driving in this game to be painful. Your ride is one of the things that you upgrade, so at the beginning, your bike is slow, can't turn, and runs out of gas after a mile. It does get better, but early game is frustrating.
Even with the wardrobe, they couldn't pull off sexual connection. There is more chemistry in this scene than anything with Anikin and Padme.
The loneliest I've ever been was in a relationship and living together. I've never felt that way when I was actually alone.

American libertarianism is incoherent. They're just Republicans who don't go to church and smoke dope.
Israel's popularity in the US is at an historic low. The VP not only acknowledges that, but uses the fact as an implicit threat to keep Israel in line. Meanwhile Democrats are pledging not to accept money from AIPAC, with the mayor of NYC calling that lobbying group "monsters".
Rational people would view this as Israel's influence eroding. But conspiracy people continue to insist that Israel is secretly in charge somehow.
I suppose people are waiting to see if a prominent person is accused. Or maybe for accusations that are outrageous.
The stupidest thing about conspiracy theories is that they often assume that if "the public only knew" then something would change. "The public" doesn't give a fuck.
My opinion is that people just wanted to lock up Trump (or Clinton), and all the raped little girls are beside the point.
Has any artist in history rode a hit single longer than Greenwood? There are more people that know Greenwood personally than their are people who can name two songs he sings.
Representation is important, even if it's phony.
I always save the 3.5 jack from headphones when they die. I carry them with me because they can instantly silence any TV you can reach. Doctors offices and airports are much better now.
