To be fair, Fox also played his daughter in part 2 and his ancestor (Seamus?) in part 3, but rather briefly.

Oh, it had like an inventory functionality? I love Oblivion, but I obviously didn't get the armor and don't remember the details. I suspect it also provided defense for the horse? In that case it's almost approaching Assassin's Creed's "buy xp to skip grind" level of egregiousness, but still just a DLC.

Even if we are talking about specifically jets that are owned privately, they could have legit use cases. It's the abuse that is the issue. I agree with the whole "eat the rich" sentiment, but that's a separate issue. In the system where rich people exist, the problem is abuse.

It didn't start with horse armor. And even then, while clearly stupid, it wasn't egregious in the way modern mtx is. It was just a poorly priced optional cosmetic DLC. Modern mtx is a whole other beast, where companies use every psychological trick in the book to get people addicted to gambling.

The "graffiti" is funny, actually. They wrote АТБ which is a groceries chain in Ukraine, the equivalent of Russian Пятёрочка. That store is effectively renamed.

I'm sure that private (meaning small) jets can have valid use cases, it's the abuse by the rich that is the problem.

What truly blows my mind is the amount of requests the 1st party Reddit app sends home. Back when I was using Sync I still had the app installed, but then I set up AdguardHome and saw that my phone was spamming requests. Checked the logs and found out that the 1st party app, which I wasn't even using for months, was "phoning home" literally every 10 seconds! Besides privacy concerns, that can't be good for battery life. Nuked the app then and there. I'll take the nagging, thank you.

I suspect orange is dyslexic, too.

I think it's implied that the other muffin screams cause it's surprised by a talking muffin.

His haircut misses the pentagons though. Not regulation haircut.

As a european, fast food is just like a category of food, and more of an occasional treat for me. Normally, I just eat my own homemade food, which is even cheaper. So I guess I see it a little differently, and fast food is allowed to be not cheap if it's "good".

Hell yeah, gimme that cancer patty and those artery clogging fries, baby! But make the obesity water size "for kids".

Yes. And I think better make it obvious that votes aren't private, instead of people wrongly assuming that they are.
