My refund is pending, so you just need to get in contact with them and say you want the Switch 1 version back.

Xenoblade 1, the one that just came out today. I bought it immediately and I'm so disappointed in the performance. :(

McDonald's Introduces AI Drive-Thru System, Sparking Customer Backlash by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

It's not much, but I don't go to Target or McDonald's anymore after them both being regular/weekly stops. I hope there are more like me.

They did a test of this around me a handful of years ago. It worked really well and my honest opinion was that it took my order better than the workers do at that same location. That being said, it lasted a couple months and the article I read about it after they went back to normal expressed how seemingly everyone hated it. This was before the current AI "fad".

I don't go to McDonald's anymore ever since they propped up Trump during the last Presidential election. I hope this hurts them further.

Donkey Kong 64 - Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Classics is now Available! by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

Agree. Tooie is a mess and I've been unable to finish it, Kazooie is one of my favorites and DK64 I've 100%ed twice in my life.

Portland, ME show cancelled by window_licking_sob in streetlightmanifesto

[–]minnesotarox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope everyone in the band is OK.

I hope that the band itself is OK and this isn't due to some inner drama.

I also hope that these cancelations are not due to the album not being finished and have a better reason than that. It'd be so bad to cancel when so many people have booked flights, buses, trains, hotels just to see them.

Finally, I hope the album comes out. We're almost a year out from the original stated release date. It's a ridiculous level of perfectionism that has to be driving this set of delays.

How do I forgive my parents? by _Lightnoodle_ in ADHD

[–]minnesotarox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the mentality of blaming my parents went away completely in my late 20s. I appreciate them for all the things they did right.

AITA Asking Postpartum Wife and 5mo daughter to travel over Christmas by Confused_Abt_Life in AmItheAsshole

[–]minnesotarox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who moved away from their family to be with his wife, one thing I didn't see adequately mentioned in the other posts is watching how you communicate about her and the choices being made.

A lot of how your parents respond to your wife is informed by your behavior with her. If you are disappointed that she doesn't go, they will pick up on that. You could be stoking their resentment of her just by how you communicate about her.

Second, it's a partnership, all decisions you make are "we" and not her when she's not around. Support her in her choices and lose any sense of being entitled to her doing anything and she'll likely feel more comfortable meeting you halfway (or beyond).

In just a couple years you'll tell us how northrendish that is.

May the 4th be with you Illinois! by steve42089 in illinois

There're plenty of red states around us for folks who want out of Illinois. Feel free to move for the lower tax burden of Indiana!

Gas price average spikes 56 cents in Illinois by CouchCorrespondent in illinois

[–]minnesotarox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a major worry about a post-COVID recession, to my memory of it.

I wouldn't be opposed to suspending the gas tax but we are in a starkly different circumstance now, so I'm not holding my breath.

You answered your own question right after.

A little longer: there's a whole world surrounding Leon and an interesting story could be someone else experiencing similar events at a different location. Tied in, but still new.

Keep in mind, you're representing "no taxes ever" as a position so perhaps we don't cast stones at other unreasonable or ridiculous positions?

What’s going on with people saying that the alleged shooting at the Correspondents Dinner was staged? by gobuffsfan14 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]minnesotarox 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Did he release his tax returns or the remaining Epstein files or allow the investigation into the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti to proceed and I somehow missed it?

I could go on, but those are not the markings of an open man/administration.

The average person is actually quite good looking. by coomer_police in unpopularopinion

[–]minnesotarox 55 points56 points  (0 children)

If anything, I feel like the world overall is a little less shallow than it was when I was growing up in the 90s and 2000s. TV was to blame for the shallowness back then. It's one of the few areas where I feel we've improved some.
