This is hilarious.

My husband runs our Lemmy instance, and he's subscribed to the Linux community, which is one of the most active on Lemmy (I probably don't need to tell you that.) I'm basically just here for memes and I ultimately blocked the Linux community because it was all over my feed. I'm a normie and I just don't care about Linux whatsoever, not enough for every other post to be about it anyway.

I agree. I was in college at 19 and I would not have been able to grow as a person in the same way, if I had been dating a 25 year old at the time. You're just at different stages of life at this point.

I'm not saying it's impossible for this to work out well for some people. Clearly in the comments here it has, and I have friends with a greater age difference who are now happily married.

But in general, no I don't think this is a good idea. If it was the same age gap but meeting later in life, no big deal. But a 19 year old is at a very different point in life than a 25 year old and she needs to be able to grow on her own outside of a relationship with an older person.

Speaking of Alibaba: Tianyu Gems is a quality dealer of moissanite. I originally got the recommendation on Reddit from someone who had ordered multiple stones. We used them for the moissanite in my engagement ring.

The larger stones are obviously jewelry grade but they have some cheaper bulk options too.

Hey, I work in QA (not in the video game field though.) However, I can tell you there is a difference between "QA missed" and "deadlines required prioritizing other fixes."

One implies that the employees are bad at their job. Which is almost certainly not the case. I haven't played Starfield (or even clicked through to your link lol) but presumably this is something blatantly obvious. And I'm sure the QA team was frustrated letting a glaring known issue through.

QA finds issues but it's up to development teams to fix them, and strict deadlines will always hamper delivering a flawless product. But deadlines are driven by management and until the industry changes (i.e. don't preorder games) we're going to keep seeing these problems.

But as a QA professional, please don't blame us ✌️

So I work in QA. I know how to troubleshoot things, it's literally my job.

Recently my game card for Zelda TOTK kicked the bucket, so I tried contacting Nintendo support.

Again, I work in QA. So I made sure my Switch software was up to date and reported in the beginning to Support that I had done this and told them the version number.

First they ask me to check for a software update. 😐 It gets worse from there.

After copying and pasting several different sets of troubleshooting steps to me (all of which unnecessarily started off with checking for a system update) the Support agent eventually finds out I'm using an SD Card for external memory on my switch.

So I turn off the Switch, take out the SD Card, reboot the switch, and still the game will not launch. I report this to Nintendo Support. Who then tell me that I need to reformat my SD Card.

My brother in Christ, if I am still hitting the issue, without the SD Card in use, then reformatting the SD Card will do literally nothing to help.

Complete waste of my time. I closed the chat and went to Target, who happily let me exchange for another copy of the game that functioned again.

When our cat is really going to town yowling at us, I like to respond "I know, life is so hard, no one loves you or cares for you or feeds you and scoops your poop."

That or "calm your little kitty titties."
