Did your wife go on social media to pick a fight by stereotyping and publicly scolding a large community of people, and justify it with an obviously false claim? I hope not, but if so, then I wish you the best of luck working through that together.

You should just learn Chinese.

That's disingenuous. I wasn't complaining about English not serving me well, now was I?

Also, once again, mountains vs. molehills.

The difference here is mountains vs. molehills.

And in most cases, they obviously do have sufficient ability to learn how, because they were able to learn the commercial software they're currently using.

As for time, yes, learning always takes time. (Thus my comparison to learning a new commute.) But suggesting that someone learn something new is not stupid or unreasonable, especially if the thing they currently use is not serving them well.

• In response to that paragraph you added after I replied:

I don't know why you would think that cherry-picked and extremely specific scenario is somehow representative of the general subject we're discussing.

Maybe one of these?

Ok… but what about the plastic in the microwave that’s part of the microwave?

I think a glass and steel microwave oven could look pretty damn cool, but until we have those, I simply try not to cook my food on the microwave's surfaces. :)

I remember a few dialogue options that had me thinking, "why did they bother putting that option in the game? Nobody would ever choose that!"

Apparently I misjudged.

The right mood and a bit of free time to start the process. I'm already planning to go Codeberg or some other Gitea instance.

I hear Baldur's Gate 3 has local co-op.

No experience yet, but It's the next language I want to try.

I was confused because there was no article visible at that link. Then I noticed you included the #fragment part that skips the article and jumps straight to the comments, and scrolled up to find it.
