Hm...I'm seeing that millennials are between 29 and 44. Even 29 is old enough to earn a PhD.

Either way, the older ones are definitely old enough to be talking about post-secondary.

So did you graduate from college last year? PhD, or reskilling? Following a passion?

(Still not enough info to know when it was! Haha)

Ah, I forgot about index and didn't know about codices.

I'll continue to use the plural "tissues", though! Lol

It's funny to me to see someone simultaneously prescriptively linguistic enough to use a Latin pluralization but not pedantic enough to use the proper non-genericized term for tissues, haha

What other word follows this?

They don't specify though, and it should be at the content level, not the account level

its far to iphone(esk) in design

It's far too iPhone-esque in design

"It's" has the apostrophe because it's "it" + "is

"too" has two o's when there's an excess of something. More stuff = more o's!

"esque" is uh...just how it's spelt

iPhone capitalization is just their branding.

I only commented to help with "esque", but saw other things I could help with. Knowledge is power!

My decent Bluetooth headphones have the option to plug in a headphone cable to use them wired. I use it occasionally so I can reduce audio latency, which can be useful with gaming...and essential with rhythm games.

Because they display (or even host, potentially) content that's "illegal" in Turkey.

What they should probably be doing is just hiding said content from users in Turkey...and encouraging users in Turkey to use VPNs, lol

Wouldn't it be better if you started a year early so you can give him a heads-up on everything when he starts the next year?

This way you can put your boyfriend first and yourself first. Seems like a win-win to me.

Unless you're wanting to do this because of some other underlying issue that you haven't disclosed (risk of jealousy? Anxious attachment style?).

Be good to those you meet on your way to the top because you never know who you'll see again during your fall to the bottom.

Heard this and it stuck with me. Not because I was "mean", but it's just a good perspective on why even someone utilitarian (or psychopathic) should be nice.

What if (god forbid) she lost her beauty? What if one of the people she was mean to attacked her face causing permanent damage? The others will remember that she was mean to her and show her no sympathy.

Big dogs shouldn't eat small dogs. They should protect them.

"Brian".....?

Typo/autocorrect for "bran"?

It's a great word. It can be almost any part of speech/grammar!

Is there a lot of overlap between people who can't afford a cellphone and are taking flights?

14 isn't old, it's not even legal age to buy cigarettes.

I'll do some weird math.

The first computer game could be argued to have been released in 1950, and the first commercial video game was released in 1971. Let's call it either 70 or 50 years ago.

14 years is 20~28% of the entire history of video games.

The first feature film came out in 1906; let's call it 120 years old. So let's calculate what 20~28% of this history of film is.

20% of 120 years is 24 years, and 28% is 33.6, rounded to 34.

So if you compare them by the "commercial video game vs. feature film" definition, a 14-year old game is like Beauty and the Beast, Hangin' with the Homeboys, or Showdown in Little Tokyo.

If you want to use the "youngest" ratio, then we can compare Skyrim to films that are just 24 years old, like Shrek, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, or Spy Kids.

I dunno, I think 14 years old is an old game! Haha

Yeah, I was wondering if it was Gen X as the parents who did part of that. I could see some younger millennials having Gen X parents.

Gen X likes to talk about how they'd all get on their bikes and meet up with friends.

Was it also the Gen X parents who didn't want their kinds riding on bikes in the streets due to safety issues? Lol

EDIT: fixed spelling of "Lol" (formerly "Loo")

What is a Personal Pronoun?

A whole bunch of angry Americans would fail to answer that question correctly these days...

To clarify, I don't think the writers did anything wrong. The headline will be misleading because Nintendo's being somewhat misleading.

I don't know how much the headline could be improved, if at all.

Nintendo says NS2 GC controller will only "officially" support GC games

Or if they can't quote "officially", they could quote "only". Which could arguably be more clickbaity, but also clue in a casual reader that there's more to what Nintendo officially says.

It's somewhat misleading. It's not providing the additional background information, and it leads the headline with the claim (not that Nintendo is making a claim).

I don't think it's a bad headline. It'd be hard to include all the information in the headline. But if someone only reads the headline (something like 73% of people), they could end up with a mistaken conclusion. And those people will have been lead in that direction (so, mislead).
