Implying that parents don't have any free time? I mean, my time isn't "my own", but my wife and I sure as hell have free time.

Personally, I would go insane without free time -- likely literally. I would be an anxiety-ridden mess with a hair trigger. If my chores won't allow any free time, the chores don't get finished. They'll still be there tomorrow.

Edit: We have two kids, 6 and 8 years old.

I love it when people expect loyalty's benefits without paying loyalty's price.

Oh yeah, WoW hands down. The sense of wonder as I explored the world the first time was incomparable to any other game.

Trump isn't exactly the strongest, most charismatic person, either. His speeches are rambling messes, and he has notoriously thin skin.

I'm honestly not sure how that compares to DeSantis, but still.

It looks like it's on a number of streaming services, so there's really no need.

Well, he might. He's not sure yet.

Does the Switch have any exclusively-online games? That's a genuine question that I'm interested in for comparison purposes.

I think it's a load of shit that any single-player experience requires an internet connection. I still know people with shoddy enough connections that they can't play games like Diablo 4 on their desktop pc. However, I don't think that it should disqualify a game from being Verified.

I didn't even know people could follow me on Spotify. These two were the only ones.

I'd really like to know why all types of off-brand ketchup taste like ass.

Wow! That's almost 0.2% of the player base (as of August)!

You don't.

Oh thank God, someone reasonable.

First, I would find out who I need to pay to find people for jobs I need done. I hate dealing with people. Also, I suck at knowing who to call.

Then, I would get someone to rebuild my house, better, stronger, faster. My house is nice, but it has some major issues. Mold problems I can't fix. Lousy insulation. Floors that let us hear everything going on between levels. A ridiculously small master bathroom.

More importantly, I would pay for a better education for my kids. I homeschool for various reasons (via videos and on a curriculum), and while their education is solid enough, my daughter could use someone better than myself for subjects where she struggles.

Once everything is set up with a lawyer, I would set aside money for close family members.

Oh, and I would hire a maid and a chef for my house. I like cooking, but I also like not needing to cook. And who enjoys cleaning?

My wife would surely either pay for landscaping for our yard, or she would buy a boatload of plants and do it herself. Probably somewhere in between; we've got a rocky yard that no amount of personal labor will make manageable, but I think she enjoys the planting.

Yes. People are exhausting -- particularly extroverts, who often won't let us do introvert things to recharge.

Yes, we are pro-criminal Trump, instead of pro-president Trump.

My daughter is in a similar situation. It's very frustrating to take her to some kids event and have kids around who are coughing and sniffling. I get it, it's minor and they want to enjoy this event. But if my daughter gets sick, she'll be nigh incapacitated for the next week or two by this "minor illness". That "light cough" will have her coughing so hard that she vomits. She's basically relegated to laying around and reading or watching TV. It makes school tough and is a fairly large part of why we homeschool.

I always forget about Perfect Dark in this kind of list. I played the hell out of that game.

Right, because that totally applies to all other acronyms.
