I have a table booked to watch it with a bunch of friends, and I will be loudly cheering for my favourite team, "Another Pint!"

May be... Proof that bankers have always been full of shit.

This is clearly out of date. The traditional UK breakfast now is nothing because inflation means I can only afford 1.5 meals a day.

I miss the era of freeware and demos. Give me a taste with no strings attached and you are far more likely to get my money at some point.

Honestly it's all sorts of wrong especially these days, but I've played through the whole thing 3 or 4 times. Surprisingly fun gameplay and enough easter eggs to be interesting on replay.

Yes.
Next question?

I'd settle for it not being on my shoes for once.

I was a dyed in the wool apple evangelist through the 90s and early 00s, I was excited about every new drop and seeing the advancement of OSX from the beginning, waiting in lines for iPhones on. Day 1.

But they just lost their way, and I can't do it anymore. Too many decisions that showed they didn't care about their professional users. I don't know that I think anything out there is actually better, but certainly better value and better control. I miss the ease, but I'm voting with my money and I can't support a company that abandoned the users that were there from the start, certainly not at the price point they command.

Like many imaginary worries (something that could, but hasn't happened) the answer to how do I avoid this 100% isn't just, "you can't" but rather, "you shouldn't".

Imagine the similar question, "how do I make sure that there is zero chance of being harmed in a terror attack?" While the consequences are dire, the chances are very low, and the costs of avoiding it completely are far to high.

And this scales with the level of risk and consequences:

  • do wear a seatbelt, don't avoid all vehicles
  • do check travel safety warnings, don't avoid all travel
  • do stay off social media while on booze and ambian, don't lock yourself in a windowless cabin with no electricity

Ultimately, it's (getting cancelled, rejected en mass, etc.) a new and very visable fear in the 21st century, but like a long list of worries, spending time trying to solve something that hasn't and likely won't happen, is a waste of our limited years here. Be a good(ish) person, live your life and IF rejection happens, do your best to deal with it as it comes.

Doctor: I'm sorry, you'll have to move to the UK.
