These articles feel like cope. Most people aren’t as invested in physical media as our small corner of the internet. I doubt this decision will hurt Sony, and Microsoft and Nintendo will probably follow suit soon enough.

The difference to me is that if I’m locked into using one particular email provider because I don’t feel like going through the hassle of updating all my accounts, it’s a low inconvenience, since most email providers are free/relatively cheap.

I’m so jealous any time I see a fat guy who looks completely comfortable with themselves

By patronizing restaurants that make their employees rely on tips you’re only helping the owners stiff their employees

This is the real answer and the only way to actually end tipping culture in the US but people here don’t want to hear it. They’d rather just act superior and smug about how they stiff service workers

But also, it’s okay and healthy to not enjoy doing everything on that list

It depends on if someone writes him doing it or not. If they do then yes, if they don’t then no

When my girlfriend’s dad was a kid he was once paid very good money to help unload crates off a boat and not ask questions

Also, and even less directly relevant to my life, I live a couple blocks away from a very famous dead gangster’s old hideout. One of the members of the gang, who lived down the street from me, went on to have a fairly iconic role in a classic mob movie
