I try to fit it in too but some expected behaviors are so nonsensical I can't follow them. For instance, staying in the theater until the very end of the credit roll. I know people do it out of respect, but it's not like they're gonna remember any of the crew's names. Oh and I can't ask people how are you doing because I expect an honest answer.

    Reminds me of the Wukong scandal where the devs forbade sponsored influencers to talk about feminism among other "too political" subjects.

    This really puts me off purchasing a game from people capable of that kind of censorship.

    Makes me think of that guy when I was in coding school. The school bulked-bought high-end laptops for us so we had them for a price way below market. And one of the students broke his screen in like 2 weeks so he had to bring a monitor to class along with his laptop… :/

    I'm under the impression many Europeans mistake Romanis for Romanians. This could be one of the reason I Romanians are very harsh towards their Romani minority (so I heard): they don't want the stigma of "the country of thieves". But I obviously disagree with the stereotype that all Romani are thieves.

    But I'd say arguing over who's got the better opinion is what democracy is about. It's messy, loud and sometimes violent but I think it's better than living somewhere where only one opinion is allowed.

    I have a weather widget on my desktop that didn't give accurate forecasts for where I live. So I set out to code a new weather provider for it! And this was all in C++ so it took me back to high school when I started to learn the language. After 2-3 weeks of work the new provider is now functional!
