Who’s AI Aaron?

Those kinds of things existed in Japan. The Famicom Disk System is probably the most notable example, but I think there were equivalents for the 16-bit consoles

I believe they’re region-free, though the console may need physical modification

There are ways to get your saves from emulated to an original cart.

But while I’m here, I’ll suggest the Japan-exclusive Super Game Boy 2, which at least plays at the right speed. Not sure about GBC compatibility though

Oh, the picture is an old controller? What’s different about the new one?

Journalists be like

Injury reported after bullet encountered child’s body

Honestly, this should be a ticket. Parked vehicle outside of a parking spot, obstructing traffic, etc.

“Well what else am I supposed to do?”

Use the truck parking spots.

“But they’re far away/nonexistent”

Take a cab or otherwise figure it out.

Nintendo presidents background:

• Civil Engineering/Construction
• Construction (I think?)
• Nepotism/No background (this was the president that turned the company into the Nintendo we knew…this only happened because of someone with a background as an Electrician)
• Computer Science
• Finance
• Accounting and Marketing (but allegedly grew up playing Nintendo games)

If we look at NOA:

• Civil Engineering/Nepotism?
• [Finance – same dude as above]
• Economics/Marketing
• Communications/Business

I think the favourite periods of Nintendo were when we had Mr. Nepotism with the Electrician as the brains of Nintendo, but even when the Electrician left (with Mr. Nepotism without that same right-hand man), that time period is looked upon fondly.

The other peak Nintendo time was when we had the Computer Science major in Japan and the Economics/Marketing guy in the US. I guess people love American marketing!

Really oversimplifying things here though.

For reference, 300sek is about CA$45

Edit: (not for your reference, OC, but for others reading)

waiting hours to almost have a day in the emergency waiting room.

I think if you’re waiting that long in the emergency room, you might be in the wrong place. Or unlucky. And/or in a place that’s understaffed and underfunded.

Most emergencies can’t wait an entire day.

I haven’t had that experience, but it’s probably because almost nobody assumes I’m rich in the first place, lol

No, I’m not sure if it works with my mobile browser

I’m surprised this has so many upvotes when there’s a headline and maybe 5 sentences before hitting a paywall

That really sucks, and I can’t tell you why your experience has been different from mine. I’d guess you ended up around shitty people. And maybe it kept happening, making you feel jaded and/or reluctant to share with others, including those who may have been more accepting.

I’m glad you are least recognize that your girlfriend (hopefully “ex-” now) isn’t as loving as she seemed.

I hope that you can find people to keep in your life with whom you can have those deep conversations about your feelings.

Don’t you need another dozen or so TB? I thought it was 1024, not 1000, to the next unit

Their pay has already been rapidly accelerating for approximately half a century. It’s insane. There should either be much less poverty, or so much more free time for workers (and likely therefore so many more jobs)

I think a lot of societies don’t do enough to teach men about how to communicate and how to communicate feelings.

Part of it might also be men internalizing this notion that they can’t discuss feelings and treating other men with that same standard.

I mean, I get it, it’s harder for men than women. The change needs to start with individual men though, not with society.

Read their username, haha

Yeah, no, I meant less the surface level stuff and more the “anything complex” category that you brought up.

Not everybody wants to talk about that kind of stuff all the time, and that’s normal. But it has not been my experience that all men want to talk about surface level stuff and only women talk about deeper feelings.

I’m not sure if 1/4 to 1/3 of people being gullible is staggering to me
