Not a lie, it's how I remember it working (and complained about at the time) but it's entirely possible they changed things since I deleted.

I almost never wear hats unless it's very cold out and I need a winter hat. So, it would have been a wooly knit hat to keep my head warm.

*This does not include when my spouse and I are shopping at a clothing place and we try on goofy hats off the rack for the lulz.

I most disagree with identifying Anonymous as a group. It was meant to be a label under which anyone could do anything, granted power through what it was specifically not, and the attempts by people both within and without to make it a group destroyed the value of the Anonymous label.

After an abusive relationship had ended and I was rebuilding my life, I spent significant effort going through my stuff and getting rid of things my abusive ex had given me. They may not actually have been cursed, but I certainly felt a lot better when they were gone.

Musk still forces his own tweets, his advertisers, and whatever else he chooses into your feed, even your "following" page. You can't block it.

*EDIT: maybe not anymore? See replies.

It's a bit clickbaity to say Intel "lost" the PlayStation business when they didn't have it to begin with.

Sony has been using AMD CPUs for a couple generations of PlayStation now. Moving over to Intel would have screwed up backward-compatibility, adding a ton of work and striking a huge blow to efficiency if anything were going to be backward-compatible down the line and also thrown that monkey wrench into the works of any developers publishing for both generations during the switchover. The article touches on this a little bit.

Intel would have needed to present some magically miraculously sweet deal for Sony to even consider switching, and especially when Intel is doing generally crappy I can't see that being an easy thing for them to figure out.

I accidentally switched to Neopets, now I have to take care of a stupid cartoon bird thing.

I got the remaster of We Love Katamari when it came out summer of last year. While I wouldn't exactly say I'm "stuck" (I quickly and enthusiastically completed the main game and 100%ed all the achievements) there's a bonus level in which you are asked to gather one million roses and I've only got around 40,000 so far. While you can continue building this up over time, I've no idea how many years of blowing the occasional hour on it this goal will take.
