    Can Americans just switch their spelling back to standard English, please? Why do we have to have two systems of spelling just because the U.S. wanted to be different?

    Many programming languages allow “trailing commas”:

    my_list = [ 1, 2, 3, ]
    

    This is wonderful because you can treat the last element like the previous ones instead of having to make an exception. I use it all the time, even when it provides no benefit, and I think we should even start allowing it in natural language.

    D&D is not as good as it is popular. It’s a very idiosyncratic game that’s mostly focused on a particular kind of play, but people treat it like it’s a general purpose tool.

    Clearly people can have fun with it, and that’s what really matters. I’m still convinced many of them would have more, easier, cheaper, fun if they picked up a different game.

    I wish it was socially acceptable to interest-dump someone and for them to do the same to you.

    Just getting a 5-10 minute lecture deep into a topic that someone is passionate about is fun and educational! Much better than trying to make small talk or talk about the 3 common topics at your workplace (at mine it is local tv, energy spending/taxes, and cars), which is often sports. Then you get to learn about other people’s interests too!

    1. I didn’t like Outer Wilds.

    2. Canceled should be typed as canceled also in American English. Because the rule is that words with a stress at the end get a double consonant.

    Deck PCs combine the worst of both worlds, they are too cumbersome to be a proper handheld, and too underpowered to compete with desktop PCs.
