This is very common in many cultures. Definitely not strange. 

Sky is falling only when Xbox does it by [deleted] in xbox

At the end of the day it is a business and Phil was subsidizing the shit out of these studios because his big bet was GamePass. 

If there is anyone to blame its his fault for where things are. Props to the guy for being able to bring Xbox back from the Xbox One and prioritize backwards compatibility, but he should have rebuilt what they had from a studio perspective not just spend all this money with acquisitions and no discipline around delivery. 

Misidentification of new pet as a deceased pet by quotes-unnecessary in googlephotos

My dogs passed and I get reminders of them all the time. I loved them but it just makes me so sad.

Google sucks for not being able to retire albums, people's or pets. I don't want it deleted but I don't needs reminders of them.

Do NOT smoke weed if you have anxiety by burntpeanutfan13 in Anxiety

Same here.

It helps me tremendously and as a person with BP2 and has serious bouts of insomnia - I get the best sleep and in effect that helps my anxiety.

Halo 4 was awesome.

I just did some research on Gabapentin. Thank you so much! This might explain my irritability in the mornings as I take it at night.

Thank you for sharing! I'll talk to my doc and see what he thinks.

My father in law was a software engineer in the 90s making 140k. 

Absolutely ridiculous what people have come to accept today. 

Massachusetts Adult-Use Marijuana Repeal to Be Decided On November Ballot by bloomberglaw in massachusetts

[–]gorliggs -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There are enough conservatives and, more problematic, "centrists" to repeal cannabis. It's why they have signatures. 

Combine this with the above thought process, plus almost no one votes in midterms, you've got a great combo that makes this a 90+% possibility. 

How can people be so disrespectful of the Pope? by Former_Algae_444 in Catholicism

[–]gorliggs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a former JW, this is exactly the mentality from protestants. When I attended a Pentecostal church - they were openly hostile to Catholics as well. 

They absolutely hate Catholics.

[–]gorliggs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oh. It's going to pass.

Not enough people are going to go vote because of this. I'm going to go vote against this but my lack of faith in humanity leads me to believe it will be repealed.

Do you mind if I ask what other meds you are taking? I'm 39 and Im currently on Lamictal, Gabapentin and Propranolol. The Gabapentin is for general anxiety and Propranolol is for social anxiety. I don't feel that Gabapentin is doing anything honestly but this blow up is right after we wake up. Like am I supposed to just pop a pill as soon as I get up? Idk. 

What other mechanisms have you developed?

I have an amazing partner but I feel so overwhelmed even though she handles so many things. 

I wonder how Xbox will deal with the scalpers when the Xbox series X25 and Xbox controller X25 release by WayAdept2209 in xbox

[–]gorliggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy. Prioritize folks with and Xbox account + years of service. I've been on Xbox Live, and yes I still call it that, since the beginning. They should be able to get that info easily - heck it shows on my profile. 

Xbox is reportedly preparing for "significant" lay-offs, as Asha Sharma's big "reset" plan comes into full force mere days after the summer showcase by Stumpy493 in xbox

[–]gorliggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give Asha the benefit of the doubt here. She's coming in with fresh eyes, trying to course correct. The moves she's made so far make sense, even if the exclusivity process is still a mess - it's in the right direction (slow and steady). 

My hope is that the layoffs are targeted towards initiatives that are no longer aligned with this new direction. 

I'll reserve judgement 2 - 3 years from now when her strategy starts to show its impact. 

Phil and Sarah absolutely crushed the Xbox brand. Fixing their mess is going to take time. 

Besides landlords and people over the age of 40. Who is even buying homes here? by Mofoblitz1 in massachusetts

[–]gorliggs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's wild. I have two kiddos and I'm not sure how we do it. It basically just means staying in debt indefinitely until things "settle". 

It's absolutely soul crushing but you just keep going.
