just doesn't have the same charm now
  • Pokemon yellow was the first Pokemon game that I played (my friend lent me the game for a weekend). Long story short, I didn't complete the game and later on I got Pokemon Blue.

    Now I remember, when Pokemon Stadium was released with the Gameboy adapter, me and my friends did the fragile abomination, N64 controller, the Gameboy adapter, GameShark connected to the adapter and Pokemon (Gameboy version) attached to it. This setup was cursed, you slightly tap it and all progress disappears faster than Abra.

    Retired teacher’s pension stopped as provider refuses to believe she is not dead
  • Well, I guess here response should be to forward all her bills to the pension administrator, such as mortgage, utilities, groceries, petro, etc. If she's dead, then why should be paying for items that only the "living" enjoys?

    GTA 6 and Alan Wake parent companies are locked in a trademark dispute over the letter ‘R’
  • I didn't know about this one. The first one that popped in my head was this

    "In 2016, the Fine Brothers, formerly known as FBE, attempted to trademark the word "react" for their reaction videos."

    Meta admits using pirated books to train AI, but won't pay for it
  • I went to grad school in the USA. I bought the international version of a few books that were going to be used in class (knew beforehand that the recommended lectures weren't written by any faculty member at such a university), but that didn't stop the professor from going aggressive and saying that my books were banned from the classroom because they aren't the USA version. When I told the professor what the difference was between me buying a text book for $15 instead of $200 and a Fortune 500 outsourcing entire departments instead of hiring USA employees?

    Interestingly, my books weren't an issue. Yes, I gambled being publicly labeled as a troublemaker in my engineering department (probably I was labeled privately within faculty members).

    Duh !
  • Exactly, is similar to plug in an USB-A, two tries max.

    I thought this was implied and there was no need to add "/s" since we all struggle with this type of USB configuration.

    Google Messages might let you edit texts after they’re sent
  • Which new features are you referring to? Are you enrolled in the beta version of the app?

    This is how my keyboard looks within Google Messages app. You can disregard the square with the number one in it, that's just for selecting which sim card I'll be using.
