I always called them bots when doing bot matches in GRAW, Unreal Tournament, etc. All my friends did, too. Actually not sure I've ever heard PvE nor bots called "AI," if that's what you meant. Maybe now but I don't game anymore so I wouldn't know.

My tired brain read "Moloch" as the name and well now I've found my next pet's name.

Thanks, I'll definitely have to try these, they look neat!

I have to check out some of these!

As for the browser, how does it display sites? Does it display images/video/play audio or is it mostly for just the text based stuff? How about ads/adblockers?

I also say "man" like that still haha.

Yeah I feel ya, but I don't think that was him, knowing him. More likely it was some archaic notion that was a remnant from the 50s, that addressing your parents as anything other than "sir" or "ma'am" is improper, which he also unsuccessfully tried to push. He's dropped it now, though, which is good because it was just not gonna happen.

Damn, I preordered mine, and definitely remember the option despite not choosing it. I wonder why they took it off. If I had a guess it's because anyone ordering a framework probably wanted to install the OS themselves for encryption like me or whatever other reason, so almost nobody chose that probably lol.

When I checked out during purchasing my 16 I seem to remember the options being "no OS (bring your own), Fedora, Ubuntu, and Windows." I chose no OS because I was planning on installing FedoraKDE with FDE which wasn't an option, but, I assumed that by choosing Fedora as my option it would come preinstalled, or does it come with an install USB to do it yourself?

THERE'S GOT TO BE,

A MORNING AFTER.

HOT SAUUUUUCE! NOW!

No u

Yeeeeeaaaah he didn't tell me he was proud of me until I was 25, so "probably not."

Also I did/do call him dad, but dude is more of an interjection or exclamation than an honorific. "Hey dad how you been? ... Word cool glad to hear it. OH DUDE so I was talking to mom the other day, and..."

"Dude" like 100% of the time means either I forgot an acquaintance's name or "OH SHIT my ADHD just reminded me of this thing I'm about to tell you" or "Maaaaaan/sheeeeeit/duuuuude" or simply the same as "bro/guy/buddy/pal/mack/playa/nword(can'tsaythatonebutykwim)/hoss/boss/cat/chingon/друг/чубак/comrade/friend/doc/anything-commonly-used-instead-of-a-name."

Honestly though that just shakes out to "I still say it every 5 seconds, and for the first few times I follow it up with 'shit, sorry' but then I forget that too next time we chill."

It's literally so bad that the best answer is actually "we just don't talk then." And that's fine, tbh. I'm too ADHD for relationships that require that.

"No."

Sure, but then there's a difference between dipshit and dude, if we drop this false equivalency. At that point, where the word is innocuous and not intended to offend, it is sort of unreasonable to ask the person to change their entire speech pattern simply because you're unreasonably offended by the word. It'd be like being offended by someone calling you "yo" when asking something like "Hey yo you have the time," it's unlikely that person will be willing or able to acquiesce your request to stop calling them "yo" and only call them by their proper name or gender, I'm simply going to say "yo" again in 5min regardless of if either of us want me to or not. Actually I'm entirely likely to say "yo dude" at the beginning of every sentence lmao.

Actually I think the more people "banning" the word (so to speak), the easier it is to change your patterns.

Take the N word, many many white people around the 25-40yo range used to let it fly, mostly in an eminem type sense rather than a racist (ykwim) sense, and those people have almost all changed by now to not say it anymore because nobody is cool with it.

Meanwhile, my dad, my grandma, and one trans person I know, are the only three people who have ever said "stop calling me dude." I say it every 3rd sentence to literally everyone, including my mom who I am not calling a "male human" when I say "dude," I legitimately cannot stop saying it, especially since I only have to do it when talking to those three specific people, and I disagree with my dad that "it's disrespectful," and I disagree that it is a gendered term (in this context, it can be, like "how you guys doing" is different from "this is the guy's bathroom" and anyone denying this is purposefully obtuse.)

I have no scientific basis for this of course but that's my theory anyway.

See, no, if I forget someone's name I'm entirely happy with things like "alright dude see you later," you can entirely get away without knowing someone's name. I have people I've known for years, don't know their name, not sure they know mine, and that's fine.

Depends, I've had people request I stop calling them "dude" or "man." The first of which being my dad, who insisted when I was young that it was disrespectful and I should call him "dad" or "father." This did not go well for him, even to this day, spoke to him last night and at one point said "Dude so I was reading this article the other day..." My grandma also requested the same, as ironic as that is in this post, and was met with similar resistance. It's like asking someone to quit saying "like," it can be done but it takes active effort to change their speech pattern, to which I say "no, it is neither disrespectful nor gendered, and I will not actively change my entire speech pattern to satiate an unreasonable demand from one person that I know, so you can either get over being called dude just like literally everyone else I talk to, or we don't have to talk, dad." I'm not doing it to piss him off, it is just how I talk.

Realize if I don't have at least some plan of how to use fuel or a container to put it in, why am I looking for it?

Either fill the container I brought specifically for this, or abandon this useless pursuit to look for a bit of wire to make snares.

Boogie woogie woogie

Plus, this was so long ago that even if it was digital, at best it could have chiptuned its way through the opening to Final Countdown.
