In this context, “hairy” can mean “tricky” or “difficult”.

I grew up with many of these games!

I remember going to pick out PS1 games. Spyro the Dragon was the one I put the most time into.

On the Genesis, I also remember picking “Streets of Rage 2” simply because I liked Street Fighter 2 on the SNES and I thought it’d be the same kind of game. Best decision I made about a Genesis game!

This is the first time I’ve heard that definition. It seems like a niche definition that can easily result in misunderstandings

I’m not missing your point at all. In fact, I addressed it quite clearly in my previous comment.

I think you’re actually missing my point, or purposely disregarding it. You don’t take “the customer is always right” to mean “the customer can do no wrong”, do you?

Archiving things that generally aren’t for sale!

I dunno, for the last 15 or so years in my part, it’s seemingly been industry standard to run on a skeleton staff.

The fun thing about retail is that not all “customers” are paying.

As well, paying doesn’t give customers a right to a retail employee’s time. And not every retail employee’s job is to help customers.

So yeah, customers can be a distraction.

Kim’s Convenience was ruined by its last season and getting cancelled (or whatever happened to it).

Pretend it got cancelled a season early. It’s a bit of a GoT situation, but to a lesser extent.

Are you a man? Call it a kilt.

There are so many distractions at work. In this case, it’s the customer asking stupid questions! Lol

It could be understood to mean “AI [tools]”, which would be plural

(“it” is also a pronoun")

They’ll still have devs. Maybe fewer devs and no junior devs.

…which will suck for the company when they do their next round of layoffs.

I agree, but not everyone agrees. And the problem with these “honourifics” (or whatever these are called) is that you have to get them right before the recipient heard them.

I think young Millennials and Zoomers said “bruh”, and it was mostly used ironically.

Younger Zoomers (I think?) started using “bro” unironically, and it caught on big time with Gen Alpha. At least from what I’ve heard.

This is hard.

Buddy? Sounds dismissive.

My friend? Sounds like you’re a scammer or a slimy salesperson.

Pal? Sounds mildly aggressive.

Dude? Arguably masculine.

Gen Alpha might have it right – “bro” seems to be gender neutral and used by both boys and girls.

I just stopped using pronouns altogether.

“Excuse me” “Thank you” “I appreciate you” “Do you know the way to San Jose”

ALL of these have pronouns. At least one of them has multiple pronouns! Haha

To me, “believing” in climate change is like “believing” in oxygen. I don’t feel the need to say I believe in it. That’s fascinating

Of those, there will be a percentage that doubles down on their bullshit even after being personally bitch slapped by the weather and becoming a statistic.

There were covid deniers who, while diagnosed and hospitalized with covid, literally used their last breaths to deny covid’s existence.

If you called a taxi company that didnt do fixed rates you should have looked into them before you called.

Why would I call them? They should have a web app at minimum. It should be on par with what the Uber app can do.

When taxis catch up, I’ll consider them.

If you consider a ride “mooching” I would not want to be your friend.

Calling a friend to ensure myself a ride to anywhere at any time at my sole discretion and choosing is mooching if I expect that.

If your public transit isnt good enough, call your local reps and COMPLAIN.

That doesn’t get me to where I’m going.

Fuck this culture of “tipping”.

Agreed. I’d much rather have the whole cost of the trip paid for up front from the start. No added taxes, fees, or bonuses at any point.

Do you verify with each driver to make sure they end up getting the money? Uber has obfuscated tipping for drivers FOR YEARS.

I looked it up and saw that Uber was misleading/lying about a portion of the cost of a trip going to drivers. But from what I’ve read, including from Uber drivers themselves, the tips do seem to go to the driver as is paid by the passenger.
