Would you claim the second an athlete leaves the field they’re no longer an athlete?

“Sports” cars are tuned towards their racing counterparts. Auto racing is a sport. We don’t know if that owner does autocross, probably not, but that is classified as a Sports Car regardless of anything else.

You throwing babies away?

More that I wish cats would just climb down themselves, ya know?

Most people don’t know “what” anything is in that case. Cars? Most people don’t know what a clutch master cylinder is - they just know how to use the car. Most people don’t know what an app is, since they don’t understand the code language it was built in. Sure, they know how to use it but without knowing Java, it may as well be magic. Vaccines! No one knows what they are! There’s no simple explanation so everyone who’s ever used a vaccine has no idea what they are!

The average person does not have specialized knowledge about anything, even things ubiquitous to modern life.

Yeah, Trump is technically right here but at the end of the day, I don’t really care if a firefighter knows exactly how every app on their phone works, just as long as they know how to put out fires and maybe rescue cats from trees.

Anime woman looks more mad though. Like I wouldn’t want to turn my back on her after the picture. Real person looks on the verge of tears. Less like she’s going to kill me, therefore less attractive.

I feel like I wouldn’t talk about that with my cousins, so kudos for the openness.

The ludicrousness is the point. “Capture a creature in a ball”… How close is that to Red Dead’s lasso? Could Nintendo patent capturing a creature with a rope? Does anyone hold that patent yet? No, it would be silly to try to patent something like that - yet at one point I’m certain it was someone’s “technique” while everyone else was jumping on the horses back like Breath of the Wild.

Imagine if you had a hammer and decided to use it to hit a nail and then someone came along and said “I see you’re using my method to build a house! Pay up!”

Well, you can’t patent something like that!

Imagine you open up a game engine, any engine, and decide you need to point to an objective so you decide to use an arrow. A game company says “You’re using our method to identify objectives! Pay up!” and that one is a unique mechanic?

How long has humanity been using arrows to point to things? How can you patent it just because it’s a digital arrow?

Is that why I see all those “I have too many ThinkPads, I just bought three more.” Posts, or is that just what part of the Internet I’m hanging out in?

From my experiences it goes more like this “In an ideal world, we’d behave this way. We’re not in an ideal world though and your competitors have no problem doing this so you should know what to do, in case the market determines it’s the best course.” with a knowing wink thrown in.

It’s easier to park a Humvee than a Brodozer.

Saying the words “Break dancing” and “she creates her own moves [as why she failed]”, to me, proves there’s zero need for that to be an Olympic sport.

I’ve always kind of detested ‘judged’ sports, not the sports themselves but the idea of judging creative expression on a scale. Like, “We, the panel, have decreed that your moves were not funky fresh. Pop and lock your way to the locker room please.”

Then at least use something fancy like a flight stick! The F710 makes… anything newer than the Gravis Gamepad look like luxury!

Just get the F310, like me, and you can enjoy that three foot range without batteries.

Also, WHY DID THE SUB USE THE WIRELESS VERSION WHEN THE WIRED IS CHEAPER AND WIRED?

Big LAPTOP screen? I forgo both my Laptops and Phone. Big purchases are made on the Desktop or the living room computer (which is hooked up to the living room TV) so all may see the confirmation.

But, you and everyone else would just say “I want this job” but they want the best person for the job. Putting up with bullshit is invariably going to be part of the job.

I said all these things to my partner when I saw the ad as well.

I’ve spent more time helping my kid write Steam reviews of the games they’re playing than this Dad did on writing a letter to his daughter’s hero.

Simple as. Don’t be surprised when the kid puts you in a crappy home to afford more Gemini credit or whatever.

I mean, the DIN hole was a standard size but it certainly wasn’t a ‘socket’ and anyone who had a Ford Focus that needed a Mercedes-Benz writing harness to plug up their aftermarket radio knows what I’m on about.

The La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo?

WHAT A PRETTY MEME!
