IMO, the “free parking rule” is necessary for a healthy game of Monopoly. Otherwise, the game will drag on for hours with players just slowly whittling away at each other’s properties until eventually everybody has been completely bled out.

However, that’s an intentional part of the game design; the original Monopoly was meant to showcase just how agonizing unchecked capitalistic greed can be, so games that run a long time with Pyrrhic victories are completely intended. But if you’ve got a life to live, you need to play with a few house rules to speed things along.

If I didn’t already have crippling self-image issues, I’d have seriously considered it.

And you don’t need to provide them with it, either. A friend of mine does OF, and has had no such requirement to verify her social media. Unless this is a new requirement that existing members aren’t obligated to go through, or required for a specific feature of the OF platform, then I believe providing them that info is otherwise optional.

The button is on the back of the passenger seat. There’s a touchscreen with your ride details.

Literally right in front of his face. There’s a touchscreen on the seat back with a button to pull over.

“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

It will with AI.”

This dude really ought to hire a proofreader.

I mean who am I going to ask to stop the car otherwise?

There is a button 12" from his face that says “Stop”. He could’ve pressed it.

There’s a button inside to signal the car to pull over. He’s only “trapped” in the sense that he might miss his flight if he has to wait for a different car to come pick him up.

That’s a bummer, and I’m totally with your girlfriend on that one. It hurts, because we grew up with this series and want so much for it to be good.

Yeah, that’s been my issue with the series since Sun & Moon, though I’m sure a lot of people probably felt it a bit earlier than I did. It feels like the art and direction teams are still performing very strongly, but the actual development side of things is where everything falls apart. There’s no reason why a Switch can run Doom at 30 FPS but it can’t play a Pokemon game above 10.

The Pokemon Company has been absolutely awful lately. I really wish Nintendo would light a fire under TPC’s ass, because the last few generations of mainline games have been uninspired, empty games riddled with performance issues that are inexcusable for a $60+ game from a long-standing brand. It’s sad to see the garbage that today’s fans are expected to enjoy.

No. OP seems to be asking in good faith, and has been receptive to the answers provided. Genuine curiosity should never be condemned.

Then it’s probably time to wipe.

I normally don’t like these “AI reimagining” videos, but this one was really well done. The narration definitely helped sell it.

I learned this about bleach a while back! I remember wondering why bleach felt slimy to the touch, even though it looked like it had roughly the same consistency as water. Turns out it wasn’t the bleach that was slimy, it was me. I am the slime.

lmao, we used to call them “Works bombs” as a kid, because we’d use The Works cleaner for it.

Yeah, I cheaped out and bought a bottle of a store-brand cleaner which I think may be the enzyme type. It’s made a bit of progress, but not much so far. :(

In a DM to the mods.

We can’t all be Zimbabweans.
