Thank you!

Maybe I’m at the prime old judgemental age of almost being in my 30’s, but I can’t stand the designs for a lot of EV only cars. To the point where I have little to no interest in buying one that isn’t a (heavy) EV redo of an existing car. These EV only cars look forced futuristic to the point where they look impractical or just kinda dumb. Like the van they made looks like a box on wheels (the cabin did look cool from the concept art admittedly). BMW has this issue too with some of their EV only cars. There was no level of excitement added to it, nothing fun about it just forced futuristic with muted colors, super soft or rough angles, weird shapes, odd features, all that sorta stuff. And where are the mirrors on the Saloon? I suppose they’re probably just cameras, but to me that’s just something else electronic that’ll break, or it’s a menu screen that you can’t see when you’re trying to adjust the temperature on a different menu screen. I feel like a regular dashboard with tactile buttons was perfectly functional. And where is the wheel? I get some vehicles like the Cybertruck and other Tesla’s have the adjusted turn radius for the lack of a wheel (I’m assuming that’s what these have too), but the wheel is better because you have more points of contact and the turn radius can still be adjusted. I don’t know, maybe I’m too poor to know any better cause I can’t afford fancy cars like that, but the car looks silly and I’m upset about it. I suppose things could be worse. Just needed to get my two cents in.

You know, I just made a dumb comment about Dune, but I’m happy I learned things about helicopters too.

Is that an actual ornithopter?

I don’t think he’s wrong about the busy release year and I would even agree that most people didn’t expect Baldur’s Gate to be as massive as it was. I think everybody knew it’d be big, but it pulled in a significant amount of people that likely never imagined playing D&D. There are probably people who have had sex playing it. I don’t know what the numbers are, but from the amount of people that played it in early access I’d imagine way more actually bought the full game after hearing the good praise it got. I also think he should acknowledge that Immortals shouldn’t have been a near full price ($59.99 USD) game; that’s honestly my only issue with the game. It’s got good gameplay, a fun over-the-top story and it’s a new IP that doesn’t have scummy monetization practices. It’s a perfect buy on sale game that will surprise more people than not.

I will also say, when I worked at a highschool a few years ago (I’m now middle school) a male teacher did pipe up about a student whose skirt was so short that he could see their underwear and buttocks and the parents called him a pedophile for trying to, “Look at their daughter,” however, he only complained because he was uncomfortable. A pedophile probably wouldn’t have said anything. Like I said, I don’t think there is going to be any one size solution. It’s pretty annoying. I do agree, school staff should be held to a high standard, but just in general. Teaching is a profession and we should present ourselves as professionals. I’m sorry if your experience with schools made you feel like teachers don’t care about students as real people. In my experience, being on staff at the district I went to, all the teachers I work with spent years in school learning how to help because they genuinely care for the kids.

I currently work in a school, and it can be very awkward walking up steps when students have incredibly short shorts, skirts, dresses, ect. The amount of underage skin (glutes, a little too much cleavage, and male nipples with loose tank tops) genuinely makes me feel uncomfortable and it’s not like I’m trying to see anything. There is no one solution to make everybody happy, and I don’t think uniforms are great or terrible, but I think it would always be better to air on the side of caution and establish standards/ dress codes. Almost every profession has standards and dress codes too, so I don’t see what’s wrong with trying to get students in the habit, at least in highschool when they start getting into the work field. Idk, disagree with me if you want, but I think this is reasonable.

I think that’s about all I’m looking for, but I was concerned about the $59.99 on the Microsoft store. I’ll wait till a sale, thanks friend.

Starfield, I can’t not play. Also just bought Sea of Stars and I’m thinking of getting Jurassic World Evo 2. Is that Jurassic World worth it, if any of you have played?

To say hello: Yo-dah-lee-yah-hoo, how are you?

To say goodbye: Too-dah-loo buck-a-roo, I’ll see you in a few.
