The truth is, who burgles homes and why they do it remains a mystery. https://t.co/k7hQ2Pg2A4

@FinalFantasy Speaking of minimaps, why on Cornelia is there no option to permanently disable the minimap? It completely ruins the sense of exploration and mystery, and every time I toggle it off, it comes back the moment I enter a new screen. I shouldn’t have to turn it off every 4 minutes.

Price tags on fresh meat at the grocery store are out of control. The steaks have never been higher.

SoCalGas: “We don’t set market prices or profit from the 128% rate increase.”
Also SoCalGas: “We plan to raise rates starting next year so we can increase revenues by over $4 billion.”
Unconscionable.

Did anyone see that ludicrous display last night?

Who the hell decided that having a little baby health bar in the corner of the screen is NOT immersive, but covering the whole screen with blood spatters, turning everything black-and-white, and replacing the audio with a loud heartbeat (in a 3rd-person game) IS immersive?

What is it with white supremacist fuckbois driving trucks with THICC thighs?

@KaitlynAbdou @half_agony_hope As I replied elsewhere, 18- and 19-year-olds are both teens and (legally in the US) adults. 12-year-olds may be considered adults in some cultures (e.g., Jewish) but are NOT teens. Crazy, huh?

Definitely don’t think calling a 17-year-old a “young adult” is groomerish.

[Byron Campbell @YearIsYesterday]

@half_agony_hope @MATT_LR_ Also logical. 🤣

[Byron Campbell @YearIsYesterday]

@half_agony_hope “Teen” and “adult” aren’t mutually exclusive categories. 18- and 19-year-olds are teens. In many cultures, 13-year-olds are adults. (Also, 12-year-olds are preteens, not teens.)

My daughter, who loves Wonder Pets and Dora the Explorer, would really love it if @askparamount fixed the glitch that first stretches 4:3 content to 16:9, THEN layers black bars over the left and right, cutting off 1/3 of the picture. (Those ovals should be circles.)

I never knew the GOP was so concerned about proper storage of government documents. I’m sure they’ll now throw all their weight behind investigating why Trump had 11,000 of them at his golf resort and not do something dumb like, idk, try to defund the FBI.

@BarksBooks It took me to the end of the tweet to realize you were talking about the people reading reviews, not the ones writing them. For my money, too many people treat their opinions as absolutes and are hyperbolically negative in an attempt to sound interesting.

@DemsRemove @tedcruz A “lefty” would pnly have voted in Biden as the lesser evil. He’s a centrist at best.

@bronsalinky @DelShores @tedcruz Man no should use pronouns. Man should talk like Tarzan.

@lololeereverie “No simultaneous submissions” is code for “why would you even consider submitting to anywhere else?” A reasonable stance is “simultaneous submissions are okay, but kindly let us know if it’s accepted elsewhere so we can remove it from the slush pile.”

@AdultingADHD Somehow I set mine to play Halloween music every time an alarm goes off. I have no idea how to fix it and have no desire to.

[Byron Campbell @YearIsYesterday]

Fantastic advice.

Hi, freelancers! 👋🏻 I've said it before and I'll say it again:

💡 You don't need to send your client your original Google Doc. 💡

Before submitting, paste it into a fresh one. Your clients don't need to see your process, revision history, or how long something took you.

[Byron Campbell @YearIsYesterday]

@Jim_Jordan To be clear, neither one is okay.

@faultyharb Bruh, stop subtweeting me.
