I knew replies to the quotes would be bootlicking.

The Crew 1 was also built to work offline, people found the mode in the game. But Ubisoft never enabled it for players. OP is right to not trust Ubisoft.

The sheer hubris of imagining that because people are forced to use Teams to talk to their fellow humans, they would naturally therefore love to talk to a bullshit generator built into Windows. It's staggering.

This is what it's like living with a trans woman (at least according to my wife). #webcomics

(Tiff is rotating her hips)
Eve: “You exercising?”
Tiff: “Just loosening my hips for girl walking.”
Eve: “What?”
~
Tiff: “To keep a feminine gait, I do 10 hip rotations and thrusts, alternating between raising my left and right legs.”

Tiff: (Walking) “Here, check my sashay. Is it working?”

(Cut to Eve at bar with Claire)
Eve: “Did you know we walk wrong?”
Claire: “Has Tiff been on the trans subreddits again?”

The beauty of a DIY desktop PC is that it does not have a built-in microphone and Microsoft can never ever ever make me plug one in.

All i want is to pay more to get rid of anything Microsoft has added to windows in the last 15 years, not this. Please offer me that version, Windows Team, as your additions have been bad for my productivity.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I know I give the dem leaders a lot of shit for being more useless than a hat in a hurricane but actually standing their ground on the shutdown is a GOOD thing. Obviously a shutdown is bad but at the very least they are trying to fight for their constituents and this behavior should be encouraged.
