The community manager (that you somehow failed to name?) was known to be combative and derisive toward users in forum posts and was already leaving a bad taste prior to this recent event. His "24hr redemption arc" had nothing to do with SONY or Arrowhead's actions on the issues at hand. Don't conflate the events.
Stay vigilant. Sony's still looking to profit at all times.
Seriously. How undereducated is the general population to still be willfully ignorant that "marijuana" is literally BS Spanish "Mary Jane" and not what anyone prior to the utter failure that still is the "War on Drugs" has ever called any part of the plant? FFS. 🤷🏼♂️
This. I started with FDM at my computer desk in my bedroom. The noise is one thing, but I moved to resin and took the whole lab downstairs. Even in that space, without proper ventilation? I tried it once, and immediately put up the vent system I had on hand.
Simply put? It's a non-zero risk that isn't worth it. Hell, there might even be someone here that's close enough to print stuff for you until you can set something up yourself. 🙌🏽
The irony has layers. Sad to see, and I should've anticipated it, but... I still had hope for the species, I guess? Ho hum. Back to inevitability, I suppose.
For its schoolyard prevalence alone, I don't believe "bully" quite illustrates the point, and bastard is far too common, agreed. Whatever happened to santorum, or smeg, etc.? These days, we seem to rely on spitting out derogatory pre-chewed gum, and there's so much more to English alone — not to mention how many other languages have had cause for coining a phrase or term for whatever moment in particular?
Get creative. Read a book. See the world. Learn to fuck in different tongues. Swear like it was your birthright. (Plot twist: it is.)
...independent third party to vacuum up our IRL identities (think social security number) and represent the legitimacy of our existences...
Heh. I have neither the bandwidth nor the expertise to unpack that this evening, but let's just say: that would go so gloriously wrong in every conceivable way.
And this is the company about to launch actual humans into space, officially? No, I mean astronauts this time, not unwitting airplane passengers. This is the timeline we're in? Just checking.
That tracks.
