Halo 2.

That game blew my mind when I was younger.

A torque wrench and no soldering iron?

The problem is that they don’t care. If anything is impeding their travel from A to B, drivers get angry at it. Doesn’t matter if it’s someone going the speed limit or a pedestrian. It’s in the way, therefore it’s bad.

And I’m sorry you have to worsen your life by doing so. It’s not healthy to be so negative.

Oh no! People enjoying something you don’t! It’s a travesty, and must be stopped!

I guess I’m old enough to remember the times before Surge. The first time.

Yellow 5? Isn’t that the stuff in Mt. Dew that kids used to say shrank your dick?

They keep feeding me astronomy-related videos, but only the ones with flat-earthers and Jesus-botherers in the comments.

Meanwhile Destiny 2 keeps trucking right along.

Through the ages, humanity evolved to recognize that cooperation generally leads to success. If others like us, we have more of a chance to survive and procreate. So our brains release chemicals that make us feel good when we do things that lead us to success. It used to be that sugar was pretty tough to get, so our brains evolved to release those nice chemicals when we eat it. So too is it that when we receive validation, the brain releases those chemicals then as well.

Not everyone is consciously aware of this happening. They just know that when they do some things, act a certain way with a certain group of people, eat certain foods, etc. they feel good. They don't know that they may be painting themselves into a corner, so to speak, where the only way they can feel good is by doing the things that give them the most of those chemicals. That's why drugs can be so incredibly dangerous, but it's also why you see people doing things that don't make a lot of sense outside of their particular clique. We bounce back and forth between the things we enjoy and needing that enjoyment of those things to be validated.

Of course they don't want to force paying customers to, y'know, stop being paying customers.

Newegg is inundated with 3rd party sellers so it’s basically a crapshoot as well.
