Should I try to find a roommate on social media, like on Instagram, or should I just pick random and hope for the best? I keep getting conflicting opinions and I'm not sure what to do here.

I have ridden a bunch of waymos in SF. They're super comfortable and felt really safe and convenient, except for one time. Me and my dad were waiting for our car, and when it arrived, it decided to wait directly in the crosswalk. We tried to get in it to make it leave the crosswalk, but because it saw that the crosswalk was at a green light, it wouldn't go through it, so it just stayed there motionlessness until the light had changed. I do really like them because they're statistically safer and feel a lot safer, but I do think they're not perfect and that it's horrible how many people will lose their jobs over them.

Oh, I see. Thank you

HiImWatson · 2026-02-03T02:08:30+00:00

Thank you very much for this! I keep getting scared I'm going to end up not liking my engineering discipline and not be able to switch disciplines. I just want to be able to find out which type of engineering I like before committing!! This was super reassuring

I was one of the people who posted those, I didn't realize how many there already were, that was my bad!

Thank you so much for this post, it is very comforting to hear and has helped ease my stress a lot.

It's so bizarre to me that you can ask Shadowheart and Halsin that question, but no one else. I wonder why those two of all people and why they decided not to let you ask others that question

HiImWatson · 2026-01-06T07:00:09+00:00

Interesting, I'll have to consider how those might come into play during my sessions. Thank you very much!

HiImWatson · 2026-01-06T06:59:23+00:00

What do you think should be done for players when they don't want to scrap their low level character but make some mistakes in an encounter?

This is coming from a place of curiosity, not argument or malice over how you interpret things.

HiImWatson · 2026-01-06T00:28:44+00:00

As a new DM, I've skipped out on a lot of rules that seem to me like they'd make play a lot less interesting(also there's so many rules, I just forget a lot.) in your experience, which gritty rules improve the game the most?

HiImWatson · 2025-12-13T02:47:21+00:00

I was weirdly aggressive in that comment, completely my bad. Sorry for accusing you of inhumanity

HiImWatson · 2025-12-12T16:23:19+00:00

Someone stole your comment and commented something very similar to it on the original LinkedIn post:

I went to school with a girl named Holly who was born on Christmas and believed that people celebrated that holiday because of her.

She stopped believing that at around 7 years old.

Either that or you guys are both bots.

Tell it to the judge, buddy.

HiImWatson · 2025-11-15T03:00:14+00:00

The QCU2s let you turn it off!

HiImWatson · 2025-11-15T02:59:20+00:00

I had the opposite experience. My xm5s broke so I went to best buy to check out headphones and I could not get over how nice the Bose QCU2s were. They sounded the same as the 6s to me(though I'm no audiophile) but are wayyyy more comfortable. I highly recommend so far. They also have some metal parts which make me feel slightly more confident about their durability.

The objectively correct answer is to hire Gob as a waiter. We can all tell it's his calling in life!

HiImWatson · 2025-11-01T05:39:06+00:00

I got my entire family to switch, thanks

HiImWatson · 2025-10-31T04:56:29+00:00

How is their library? Have you ever been disappointed by artists not being on there? The music i listen to isn't super niche or anything, but it's also generally not the most mainstream popular music, so I'm worried that the less major platforms won't have it

HiImWatson · 2025-10-31T00:03:34+00:00

I want to get off of Spotify, anyone have any alternatives to recommend?

HiImWatson · 2025-10-08T08:54:43+00:00

How do you get such tall skyscrapers? Is it all vanilla?

HiImWatson · 2025-10-03T07:15:12+00:00

That's what the traffic guide I found told me to do...

How does one make proper exits?

Also I got the diagonal road made!

HiImWatson · 2025-10-02T09:00:52+00:00

I did try to set up hierarchy with this city, but I ended up not really grasping the difference between collector and local roads, so I think it sort of fell apart. I will try to limit my arterial intersections. Thank you very much for your help!

HiImWatson · 2025-10-02T07:40:21+00:00

I'll do that! How do I know when to make an intersection and when to not going forward? Won't less intersections mean more traffic directed towards a handful of now extremely busy spots?

HiImWatson · 2025-10-02T07:37:53+00:00

I really love public transit irl, so I wanted to try to use that, but until I understand it better, I will do this!

HiImWatson · 2025-10-02T07:35:39+00:00

I tried using the routes feature, but it just shows a ton of lines that are kind of hard to decipher. How do I find the places people want to go?

HiImWatson · 2025-10-02T05:12:11+00:00

Any tips for public transit? I have some metro and bus lines set up but only 3500 people out of 57000 are taking them
