That is the translation I've seen, so kudos! It's Marth's default taunt voice line. I got really used to hearing it back in the day, usually interrupted as my cockiness got punished.

Yoshi and Marth. In summary, I am what they call a "basic bitch." Minna, miteite kure

I worked a call center briefly and did this with an older lady for about 15 minutes. She was just talking about how she spends her time and what her daughter was up to. I got called into the boss's office because they heard the conversation. I tried to cover my ass saying I was trying to build rapport, but I got told quantity over quality. Make the calls, follow the script, close the sale. So glad I only wasted like 2 months of my life there.

Side note, the main business model itself was a scam. The "sale" wasn't even a real sale. We were feeling out for people with bad credit to send to our "partner" law firm for credit repair. If they signed up with them after the transfer for $100/mo, only then did I get any commission. And it paid commission against minimum wage, so you only ever saw a benefit if your commissions alone surpassed what your minimum wage paycheck would be. Man, every detail I can remember about that place is scummier than the last. Fuck them and everyone like them. I'm ashamed to have counted myself among their number, however briefly.

Man, am I part of a minority that vastly prefers self checkout? I just scan my shit, pay, and leave while everyone else is waiting in line for a person. No awkward small talk, no one in front of me holding up the line with a mountain of coupons or anything, just efficiency. They're honestly not hard to use. Barcode go beep. Carrots under C. Stuff goes in bag.

I've had some finicky ones, but the only reason I would ever choose a person instead is if I have alcohol, and that's not really by choice. Most times, I finish shopping and walk out the door within 2 minutes. I've waited in line for like 15 before. I don't see why it's more popular other than the desire to "be serviced."

I wonder if self-serve gas went through this, too.

The company has pledged $1,000 to support mental health research and “to stop those sad folks from blowing their brains out or whatever.”

At that range, using a linear estimation is fine I assure you

I've heard blur is not destructive. Please use a paintbrush on 100% opacity if you do this

For those who didn't see, a woman in the UK had her laptop seized over NSFW Skyrim mods a "friend" found on it and reported to authorities. It is projected to be released to her sometime in 2025. Over Skyrim mods.

Ths might be a silly question, but asking those is how i learn sometimes. I'm trying to install my first Linux distro to set up a Plex server and one of the few things I know is you need a wired internet connection. My intended server location is across the house from my router, and there isnt much room there to set up temporarily. It would be possible, just a removed and a half. Is it instead possible to connect my SSD via SATA to USB to a laptop, install Ubuntu and wireless adapter drivers on it while connected to ethernet, then put the SSD in the server to boot? Or do I need to do all this through my intended setup?

Thanks for the help, just trying to make my first Linux install as painless as possible.

EDIT: Thank you all for your responses, I'm going to respond as I can since I'm at work. I The number one thing I learned is that I need to do more research. I recognize only a handful of these acronyms lol

"What? I'm proud of them."

I buy the things I want to support. Small game studios get my money. Bands get my money directly, I buy albums and merch. Pretty much, small businesses or organizations that put great amounts of care and love into their high quality work get my money all day, as directly as i can. But would I pay for an Activision/EA game? Or a Marvel movie? Absolutely not.
