Sorry, it’s aggravating to see people complain about bottle lids and not seeing what the bigger problem behind is.

We created this mess and now the least bad thing in this literal pile of garbage gets labelled ‘mildly infuriating’.

You’re coming up with a sarcastic exaggeration (barrels and glasses), followed by “serious question”. So which is it now?

Anyway. How about refillable cups, travel mugs, returnable bottles? Stop buying bottled water if your tap water is fine. Get a soda maker if you like sparkling water or Spritzer. Clean up after yourselves, return or throw away bottles with the lid on.

And first and foremost: stop buying packaged and bottled sh*t at every possible occasion. Things like single-use / to-go cups or bottles shouldn’t even exist.

We all created the landfills and ocean garbage patches and now we complain about our own stupidity, unable to drink from a bottle with a lid attached to it like we’re toddlers.

If you seriously ask me for an alternative: stop creating waste. Stop complaining about your waste. And stop complaining about regulations that try to limit waste that shouldn’t even be there. Big part of the problem stems from our own laziness and consumerism. Everyone is part of the problem, nobody wants to be a part of the solution. What did you even expect?

It’s a conventional GameSir controller that has a Switch mode among others. The split design of the Joycons rarely plays out, most of the time it makes the controllers unnecessarily complex and thus expensive IMHO.

My reasonably sized, more ergonomic, multi-system wireless controller with hall effect sticks does that for a little more than half the price.

Hot take: Nintendo Switch Joycons. They’re a nice and clever concept but in reality they’re bad.

Too small even for casual games. The Wiimote was much better at it.

Very expensive at 80 € per set. Yes, you get two of them but in most games outside of Mario Kart you also need both. And even then they’re fine at best.

4 out of 4 of my controllers got stick drift. Nintendo had to be sued into repairing them.

If everyone had either stopped buying bottled beverages or cleaned up after themselves, this wouldn’t be an issue.

Also, y’all sound a little whiny. This isn’t even a first world problem.

BOTW is a beautiful game. But the complex controls and the fact that all weapons simply break would have had me sinking hours over hours into the game.

You *have * to try Blood and Wine. Simply put, it makes up for everything before it. The bright, warm, Southern France -inspired map, great quests, and finally a homestead.

Try Witcher with some QoL mods, like easier fast travel, auto harvesting, auto-applying of oils. Everything that lets you play the game instead of plucking flowers all day.

They compare platforms from time to time, mostly indirectly. Android gets a mention concerning OS version fragmentation.

That’s it, for Apple the mere mention is already too much. Why would anyone want compatibility if they also just could buy an Apple product?

Also the reason why ipads and Vision don’t support multiple users: not only should you buy an Apple product, but so do your partner, parents, kids, etc.

Because they don’t know the difference. People don’t tend to use expressions or sayings wrong on purpose. Most never investigate the meanings or etymology, they’re using them and are understood by the like-minded.

Depends. Where I live even signed contracts can be deemed illegal in parts if a clause is still seen as unexpected or surprising for the customer.

If Google included a clause that states the customer loses a kidney to them, wouldn’t make it legal just because it’s written there.

When you say that it sounds like a bad thing. I’m hopping from service to service too.

I don’t get why people think they can have 15 streaming services for the price of one, and get served the $100 million movie of the day.

And the icing on the cake is that many use this as an excuse to pirate that stuff as if they were entitled to being entertained.

Came here to say the same-sung.

Flabbergasted!

I’m conservative on this one. I like the versions with Anne-Sophie Mutter and the one by Europa Galante the most. Interpretations can be so different, I’m content with that.

I think it’s one of the albums that “just click” and then you try to discover more of that great stuff and it doesn’t work. There’s this mood and vibe in the album I couldn’t find in the others.

M83. “Hurry up we’re dreaming” may not be perfect but it’s a great album all their other stuff pales in comparison to.

“Wolfmother” by Wolfmother. Period.

“Cruelty and the beast” by Cradle of Filth, although they had a good run around that time.

“Origin of symmetry” by Muse. It is the almost perfect sweet spot between too rough and too polished in their discography.

“Seeds” by TV on the radio.

“Boy King” by Wild Beasts.

“Passage” by Samael was peak song writing and composing. A text book concept album. Brilliant.

“The Four Seasons” by Antonio Vivaldi. Absolute banger, not an album though.

Self-checkout and self-scanning are great when done right.

I only need to pack my groceries into my shopping crate once with the hand scanner. Or when buying only a few items, I skip the lines and scan them myself, pay with my phone, done.
