It was Gunbound for me. Before there was regional servers I was that kid that could speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.

We also have the same decorations like you guys: Christmas trees covered in snow, Santa in cold weather gear, reindeers and probably everything else you can name.

It doesn't make any sense and we know it. It's just an excuse to get drunk and eat a lot.

Yes. In Brazil we have the same Santa.

The reason the guy doesn't overheat (more often) is because they only cosplay in climate controlled areas like malls. Their costume is also made with breathable and "thin" fabric, not much hotter than your regular sweatpant.

I've seen a guy going from windows 10 or 11 and nesting VMs with older versions of windows until maybe 98 or 95.

Mind you it took a few days to actually install windows 98 so... Good luck

It depends.

Let's say I'm trying to ask an acquaintance their phone number so I can add them on WhatsApp or Signal. Honestly it's kind of ridiculous to use the proper pronunciation of Whatsapp im Brazil, so I use the popular way (it's something like "oah-tchi-zap").

Unless I'm actually speaking with someone in their mother language I just default to the Brazilian version of the name. Otherwise I will try and match their pronunciation - it's nice to train and also I think it's polite.

Yeah... I discovered I could file the upper layer of my nail to remove the polish. Guess how my nails ended up.

First when deep learning was becoming popular there was a project called Deep Dream that was kinda psychedelic. Their training model was heavily biased towards dogs and frogs but I wasted a few minutes looking at them and trying to figure what even was pictured.

I'm not saying that we should rage-follow but it's also unreasonable to believe it's possible to agree with every single opinion of another person let alone another community as a whole.

I found out that it's more important to be flexible and be able to grab opportunities when they appear than to make the "right" decision.

There's no right answer on how to live your life.

And besides that we live in times that are changing so rapidly that what you might be doing in the next 10 years donesnt even exists right now.

Just keep your brain sharp and your body healthy and you'll be set.

I think you should do it more.
