I don’t think I’d call them assholes… more just shortsighted about the realities of selling an album, specifically in how you refer to the album both in speech and in writing.

Understood, but OP mentioned that he wanted something without a backup camera, so that’s why I was asking for clarification.

My favorite is plain old wordle.

This game is not fun. It’s not at all clear how the words relate, to the point where I got a top 10 word in the first 10 guesses, and it still took over 100 guesses to find the keyword.

I found it to be an unrewarding waste of time.

Can you clarify exactly what you mean by a “dumb car”? Do you just mean that it doesn’t have a screen in the cockpit? Or something else?

I think it depends on the airline. On my recent trip I noticed that American Airlines was charging to pick ANY seat. You could avoid the charge by letting it auto-assign the seat. Your idea to check in physically and request a certain seat MIGHT work, but you have to consider the timing. Most other passengers will have checked in online earlier and already have a seat assigned… If you wait until you arrive at the airport the seat selection might be limited. I like to check in online as early as possible so I can decide if I want to pay for a specific seat.

Good luck!

I’ve been a best man twice and both times I quoted from “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran, specifically the “On Love” section. “On Marriage” and “On Children” also have appropriate words for a wedding.

I think Seven falls in that category.

Kelly-Moore!

invented by people from Pakistan who were just living in India

Pakistan was part of India until 1947. These guys ended up on the Pakistan side of the partition, and then returned to India as refugees.

I’m not sure that it’s fair to say that they weren’t Indian.

Clarification question: Why would you expect somebody to DM you?

I suspect the language would change for those scenarios, so maybe you would say “I slept until midday” rather than “I slept until 12pm”.

Said another way: the game is innovative (for a Mario game), NOT the game is innovative (for a platformer)

erm… 12am is midnight

Don’t you think people just mean that it feels like a Mario game at the same time as feeling fresh? That’s certainly how I felt. It’s “innovative” in the sense that there are things that you didn’t expect, and that’s fun and exciting. I could be wrong, but I don’t think anybody means “innovative” in that it’s ground-breaking in the larger gaming world or even in the platforming genre.

Your lack of outrage is outrageous. Is this a game to you?

I’ve had the same stainless steel Parker jotter for over 20 years. I love it.

I don’t think I understand… Is the contest which instance picks the best song? What are the criteria for judging “best”?

FYI, Lemmy apparently drops any text that looks like an html tag, even in an inline code block. grrr…
