In case you're like me and read this assuming it was EU only, it's not! Was about to download Retroarch today, will be nice to have it without having to keep refreshing it using Altstore.

Will admit that Greedly was the first person to come to mind originally, but reading the wiki Looten just seemed to fit better. Although really he's got traits of both when it comes down to it.

Given the recent announcements about "content abandonment" I suspect the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole will be fine. They seem to be consolidating into a smaller number of franchises that they know they can get returns from rather than risking new IPs that are more uncertain.

Does this mean Trump is Looten Plunder in this scenario?

They prefer the term courageous 😂

caseyweederman is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

And even if they do they have dedicated offices with doors.

(I'll attempt this based on my understanding of both)

Pouring a cup of juice is something an adult needs to be involved with.

sudo is when you ask for permission to pour your own cup of juice. You ask an adult, they give you the cup and the juice, and then you're responsible for pouring it. If the adult isn't paying attention they may leave the fridge open for you to go back for more juice or another beverage, but otherwise you're limited to the amount of juice the adult has given you.

run0 is when the adult just gets you a cup of juice. You tell them what you want, they go and pour the juice, and just give you the cup with the juice in it. You never enter the kitchen, so you don't have access to the fridge, just your cup of juice.

Then they'll gather no moss.

So soup sounds like an idea and is actually an idea. Checks out.

We still get all the weekly bonuses though, so it's going to hopefully be pretty easy to get everything we want out of it. I do like the carby earring though.

LeBron James was spotted with the same speaker a few days back, so it's probably safe to say it's coming, and they're using some high profile celebrities to get the word out (which tracks with the Beats brand in general).

Play to your strengths I guess?

To be fair, with no data to back it up, this is just an anecdote. So saying it's stereotyping ageist bullshit is a perfectly valid response to it. I just felt it fit the question quite well so I went and dug it up and shared it. If you feel differently, no stress!

The reality is going to be different to everyone, and it's as much a learned behaviour as anything else. It's not like collectively an entire generation got together and decided "it's 'no problem' now instead of 'you're welcome', okay?" Language evolves over time after all, and knowing why that happens and the actual causes for it are something that will require a lot more analysis than a couple of anecdotes from the internet.

Here's a response I've seen about this around the net for a while now that feels right.

--

"Actually, the “you’re welcome/no problem” issue is simply a linguistics misunderstanding. Older ppl tend to say “you’re welcome,” younger ppl tend to say “no problem.” This is because for older people the act of helping or assisting someone is seen as a task that is not expected of them, but is them doing extra, so it’s them saying, ‘I accept your thanks because I know I deserve it.”

“No problem, however, is used because younger people feel not only that helping or assisting someone is a given and expected but also that it should be stressed that your need for help was no burden to them (even if it was).”

“Basically, older people think help is a gift you give, younger people think help is a requirement.”

I'm not even worried about the weapons at the moment, it's more about doing the rest of the story. Outside of the fanfiction of the Wandering Minstrel (aka, the EX, Savage and Ultimate fights), I think Bozja and Eureka are the last two bits of story I haven't done. I managed to complete every side quest currently available towards the end of last year, so behind that it's mainly doing stuff like maxing shared FATEs and that kind of thing - I know that's not story, just unlock stuff, but still something I need to get around to.

I've been working a bit on Bozja since I had gotten stuck at CLL. That's now done as is DRN, and I've unlocked Zadnor. Just need to do some farming to work my way through the rest of it now.

I want to get through Eureka but haven't done much about it yet. Really all I've been doing lately other than sending out subs and retainers is trial roulette. Been fun doing fights I haven't done in a while.

I did that for Picto (which to be fair didn't take long, I already have a level 90 caster so was just reacquiring a set of 80 poetic gear), and I've got the level 80 gear for Viper but I'm gonna wait until DT launch and get the 90 gear with Poetics. It's been refreshing to be able to take a step back from the weekly tomestone grind.

What's even wilder is if you look at the code of that package, all it does is include the is-odd package and then return !is-odd. And the is-odd package isn't much better, it does some basic checks on the input and then returns n % 2 === 1.

This cover of Gangnam Style is one I've always enjoyed.

Halocene's cover of Unholy is pretty good as well.
