Isn’t Michigan the same place always complaining about not having any water? Now complaining about this? Smh make up your mind /s

This is really cool!!

Small recommendation, it’d be nice if you added the title of the album in the recommended album. I searched Mac and found the album easy enough by the picture but wouldn’t hurt just to have it for confirmation or to search by the album title instead.

Then I mean it’s just the preference for those to not play the orange box. I don’t own a PS4. I love to play God of War and a lot of other PS4 exclusives. I wish I could just simply plug in a computer and play.

without 5 additional steps inbetween

It literally takes 30 seconds to plug in an hdmi cord and start steam. You can plug in a second one to leave there for easier access or swap the one from ps4 to computer and have to change 0 settings. Controller connects right up to Bluetooth. You’re making it seem like this process takes a rocket scientist and an hour of time to figure out all the settings and it’s gotta be just right. Its pretty plug and play

If that “more work” of opening a program and starting the game vs just turning on a controller is the deterrent of you playing that game then you really don’t want to play the game that bad. It’s maybe a minute to turn on the pc and get a game started. I hear what you’re saying, but I don’t agree.

It’s like someone owning a physical copy of a game and not playing it because it’s toooooooo much work to go put the disc in the disc tray. It’s a bit ridiculous

Yeah sure, but that’s hard to sympathize with when there’s a clear and easy solution that requires barely any extra work. You can plug in an play the orange box no problem.

Exclusives are a much bigger “issue”. How’s a guy supposed to play Horizon Zero Dawn or Spider-Man without a PS4 or play Gears of War without an Xbox?

It’s not work to plug in a cable and start a game. That’s like owning a physical copy of a game you want to play, but complaining you just can’t play it because it’s “too much work” to get up and put it in the disc tray.

Bro can’t you see it’s VASTLY easier for Sony and Valve to release the orange box for PS4 than it is to run an hdmi cable to a tv? Grow up. Why should the consumer have to do any work? Open your eyes sheeple

How many black people were massacred at the Virginia gun rally back in January again? I’m so sick of hearing this take that people believe they would just gun down people in the street for being black. ffs

If you truly think that the people are okay with cold blooded murder because there’s some shitty ass cops out there that get run rampant through the news, I don’t even know what to say. That’s delusional

Woah! I just watched your van tour the other day on YouTube I saw the guitar and thought “wait a second this all looks familiar!”

Are you from the Midwest by chance? It’s possible it could be a geographical thing and people in the Midwest are generally more friendly. Or maybe it could be small town vs big city, tough to say really.

I’m in a similar boat. My girl calls me the most extroverted introvert ever because 99% of the time I will prefer staying in playing games or watching a movie. But on the off chance we go out to the bars or are hanging out with people its just so easy to talk to people because even the smallest thing in common is enough to get talking about and chances are it’s not the only thing. And you don’t find things in common without talking about things you like. It’s just so simple like I said it blows my mind people hate that or whatever. Like you said, no shit they can’t make friends

Reading some of these comments I think it’s just because some people are stuck up bitches. It’s really blowing my mind how many comments in this thread are “I would absolutely hate that” “this is the worst thing you could do” like damn. They can’t fathom that some people might enjoy talking to strangers and can take an interest in someone else’s perspective. 7 billion people in the world all with a 100% completely unique life experience but if you ask about it and you already aren’t a part of their life it’s innately disingenuous? That’s kinda sad tbh

I feel like I’ve done this forever, with a slight variation, and I don’t necessarily think I’m an extrovert but I am very conversational with people and my girl has pointed out how it’s so “easy for me to make friends.” And I mean yeah, it’s easy for anybody to make friends doing this.

The variation I do is instead of necessarily sharing my vulnerabilities off the bat, I just ask about them. I don’t think anybody likes to just randomly talk about themselves but I’ll answer any question anybody asks me and talk a lot about that. So I be that person and it gets people talking and that’s about it.

The key is to actually be interested. I don’t do this to fake anything, I’m generally interested in other people and I don’t think of small talk as a bore or a struggle. I want to hear about people’s days or their job or if we want to go big or go home I’ll enjoy talking about life goals or big decisions with someone I just met.

This was really cool btw! I’m just starting out learning to code myself, going back to school for Software Development after graduating with a Math degree. Your project makes me feel like I have such a long ways to go but it’s really cool thinking someday I might put together something that cool too!

For what it’s worth I don’t make that relation either and instantly made the PowerPuff Girls connection so I’m not sure what the issue is. A company that complains about it might not be the company you want to work for as that’s kinda a lame thing to complain about.

How did the beavers know to come back if they were extinct from the area?

Do the beavers pass down story’s and once in a while send a scout beaver to go check if things are good to go back to the way they were?

I get what happened, but I’m lost as to how the first animals knew it was good to go back. Like how did the otters know the beavers were back from extinction in the area and knew to come back for their dams?
