Well fuck you, NOW it will be. You overrid their spell on Trump and redirected it to Jimmy by mentioning him.

the movements required for your fingers are moreorless that of your feet in real life skating.

Have you played Sessions? This is how it works in that game too, literally the only difference is your fingers are on analog sticks rather than on the sheet of glass that is your phone screen. The developers ended up including an alternative control scheme more similar to EA's Skate series because of how intense the learning curve on their control scheme is.

but taking away the actual placement of fingers on the board onscreen would take away an awful lot of the reason people enjoy it

I guess this is where we just have to agree to disagree. I can't think of any reason I'd find blocking part of my field of view as an enhancement to the experience.

The default control scheme for the game Sessions is using a controller with 1 foot per analog stick, so that's covered. I think Skate XL has a control scheme like this too.

Not sure how that's relevant to my comment, but yeah.

I don't. Fuck intubating them, fuck admitting them to the hospital at all, that's room that could go to treating someone not dying from the consequences of their own actions.

Cold winter? We used to get blizzards in October here, now we barely get any snow at all throughout the entirety of winter, and it's frequently warm enough to be comfortable outside in nothing but a shirt and shorts.

I swear every single year people forget how actually mild winter has become. It got down to -50F here once years ago thanks to the polar vortex and ever since most everyone starts on how "it's gonna be a really cold winter this year" everytime it drops to the fucking 40-50F range. When you point out they said the same thing last year and it was even milder than when they said it 2 years ago, they often just double down being willfully ignorant and insist last winter was "soooo bad" despite it being warmer on average than Fall was 15 years ago.

It's so blind people who use screen readers can still enjoy the meme.

Google as whole no, maybe, but that slogan was absolutely mocked from the start. Remember that this was right around when shit like The Matrix, Hackers, etc... were big pillars of the internet. "Don't be evil" inherently sets off alarm bells regardless of anything else.

The last straw for me was about a decade ago when an update completely broke Chrome on my machine. It would open and immediately crash, even after reinstalling. Everything else worked fine, virus scans came back clean and everything, it was only Chrome. I spent the next 2 months playing browser roulette before settling on ol' reliable Firefox once again.

Edge isn't IE, it's reskinned Chromium.
