Not all touch needs are met platonically. Might as well advise touch-starved single men to hug their mothers more.

I hug my wife all the the time. Just makes it hurt all the worse that she doesn't hug back, let alone our other issues. Hug my kids too. Its not their job, or anyone's, to satisfy every needy bastard out there, and yet: there's supposedly mutual attraction for that.

wtf did I just read?

Bowling Alleys and Pool Halls: Out for serving alcohol. A bar is just a more social restaurant if one can get over the fact that most people drink there.

I might drink alcohol maybe one in a dozen-or-so times I visit a bar. Europeans visit taverns and pubs just like visitting any other restaurant. It would be cool if more Americans had a healthier relationship with alcohol, instead of living like there's nothing between permanent and/or total inebriation, versus absolute sobriety.

I need that shirt.

Yeah, that would be the marketting bs, probably.

Reasons why MinX versions are usually available. Whether for bandwidth purposes, just not giving a fuck about HD, or not wanting to buy larger Hard Drives to save overlarge content, there's plenty of people with plenty of reasons to prefer smaller files.

Came here to say this. They wrote the playbook that has spelled the end or at least shitification of so many standards, open-source or otherwise(but usually still free-to-use or at least cheap).

Who? WHEN!? Wtf, how is this news? Please tell me that's the "Onion" part...

I use ... Plex ... as a gap-filler, but I don't become aware of the gaps(in what-I-thought-I-had-subbed-and-actually-had-paid-access-to-for-years versus what-is-actually-still-available) anywhere near as quickly as each of my children.

Technically, the Nintendo Switch uses Linux, and Android is Linux, so its kind of absurd the pushback Steamdecks are getting from these people. They aren't afraid of Linux; They are afraid of the posibility of running a terminal and interacting with a Desktop Environment that isn't Windows or MacOS. Doesn't make any sense.
