That's the core of the trial though, right? That through these deals and other things Google does to stay dominant, they stifle the market for competition. Ie Edge, Chrome, and every other Chromium-based browser pushes Google to the end users and FF pushes some unfamiliar search platform, then there's an uphill, arguably unfair, battle for it to gain enough market share to be sustainable.

My understanding is that because it's Linux they can customize it and trim all the fat to make the OS run as efficiently as possible, making it perfect for a portable device where you want as much processing power going to the game. You just can't get that with Windows.

Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series is a good one. Unlike most authors in this genre who tend to be overly descriptive and feel the need to develop the lore of every squirrel in the kingdom, Le Guin writes really tight, well thought stories, where every word is important to the story.

I'm seeing a lot of judgement on pretending Santa exists vs being 100% truthful with your kids. I don't think either way is a bad way, but don't judge others if they choose to pretend Santa is real.

With that being said, I do agree that if you are going to go with the Santa story, when the kid asks if they are real you should be truthful.

I just went through this with my 9 year old. She just came up one day and asked me if Santa was real and I told her no. There were a lot of follow up questions and it made her realize the tooth fairy, Easter Bunny, etc were the same situation. She asked me why we pretended Santa was real and I explained for us it was nice to see the magic that they felt from a stranger being kind just for kindness sake.

For me personally, I think it's a good lesson for kids to begin logically questioning their world and what they've been told.

A little frustrating that they didn't give proper credit or that it was cropped out at some point

Is there any other way to play?

I have a 4 year old who we struggle to get in bed at night. And he sleeps on the 2nd floor. It's just too perfect.

Skyrim is a great game.... for its time. Todd Howard is the blight on the games industry for putting so many resources toward so many Skyrim remasters/re-releases/money grabs. Even if he outsourced all that work, those are dev houses he could have spent their time helping Bethesda actually fill their huge open worlds and perhaps get the same feeling of "every decision actually matters" that Larion did.

V-giny

I legitimately don't 😂

I enjoyed Ahsoka mainly because it built on the more fringe themes from Clone Wars and Rebels (the witches) and continued the Rebels character's stories. I agree though that the choreography was pretty stilted. Maybe it's a side effect of filming in the infinity stages they've been doing most of these shows in... lower budget, or maybe less room for standard camera angles, who knows.

I had to Google Ad Astra, that's how little it had an impact on me, lol. I remember seeing it in theaters, and the moon cowboy chase, but that's about it.

Tendi has a main account that's all emojis and an alt where she's a masterful troll and manages to end all online arguments with the other side crying in shame.
