The long generation got extended because of the 2008 financial crisis, if anything I’d have expected a covid extension on the PS4.

Seems likely given the overlap between generations.

PS1 - 1995 to 2006
PS2 - 2000 to 2013
PS3 - 2006 to 2017
PS4 - 2013 to 2025
PS5 - 2020 to 20???

So 11 years, 13, 11, 12…

PS5 is 5 years in. Don’t expect it to shut down until at least 2031, maybe even 2033.

It’s fascinating when you look at Congressional approval rates.

Almost universally, people disapprove of “Congress”:

TBH, I’m equally guilty of this… Congress is a shit show.

MY Congresswoman? +1. No notes.

But she can only do so much on her own.

When I was first made a mod 2 years ago I banned a troll for bad behavior.

Since then they have created HUNDREDS of Lemmy accounts specifically attacking me.

We had to come up with new rules and bots to deal with their fragile psyche.

There’s a time and place for everything and it’s called ‘College’.

Frankenstein (the book) is all over the place. Haven’t seen the new movie yet so I don’t know what settings they use there.

A lot of it depends on context. You’re not really told where the city in the Matrix is located, but based on the skyscrapers and freeways in part 2 it feels really LA-ish. Filmed in Sydney. But of course “The Matrix” has no physical location so it doesn’t matter.

I mean anything is POSSIBLE. People meet and date and even get married from online communications all the time.

Would you do that for a girl back home with whom you had a random hookup but no serious intentions?

If “no” then then you’re probably leading them on thinking you’re getting married.

If anything, you’re taking advantage of them, living in their house and sleeping with their daughter.

Usually I see them because there’s a super flaky user who creates new accounts, makes a bunch of posts in a variety of groups, then self deletes their account for some reason orphaning their posts.

So I get to remove a bunch of otherwise worthwhile posts because the user killed their account. Not sure what they think they’re accomplishing.

Could be the gloss coat on the cover, spray a rag with Lysol or something similar and wipe them down.

If it’s INSIDE the books too, all you can do is fan them and air them out.

I think it drops off after a week? Yours was created on the 8th, so sometime after the 15th?

You might try asking in the book specific communities and see what turns up? 🤔

Dunno specifically, as the closest I get to that orbit are my wife’s Bridgerton books. LOL.

They also apparently had another system developed by a company called Thales, and the password for it was “THALES”.
