I don't want to die.

What if I die in my sleep.

What if the house catches fire and I can't escape in time because I was asleep.

There are so many other things I could be doing.

I don't have enough life left.

What if I miss something important or cool.

What if there's a burglar when I'm asleep and it goes south and they murder me.

What if I have an aneurysm in my sleep.

What if I have a stroke in my sleep.

What if I have a heart attack in my sleep.

What if there's a gas leak and the house explodes while I'm asleep.

What if there's a CO leak and I just asphyxiate.

What if I just never wake up for no discernible reason.

I wanna play more video games.

I wanna browse the internet more.

I don't want to have the bad thoughts come back like they always do when I try to sleep.

Christian in what sense?

GW2 for the past 11 years, except for a stretch where I played ESO for a few months.

Community's mostly great. Cooperation between players is strongly fostered by the game's design (no kill or resource stealing, no competing for drops, etc), so players tend to get along in almost every PvE situation.

Lore is good, but not nearly as expanded upon as Warcraft's.

Gameplay is what makes it IMO. Skill effects and some gear skins can be a bit obnoxious, especially when you're in large groups for open world and World vs World, but it's still enjoyable. Don't play normal PvP, so can't comment on that.

Highway 145, mile marker 78.

It is.

Lack of sleep and leisure time will do more damage in the long run than the short term benefits of 16+ hours of learning a day will ever do good.

Yeah, not a big stretch to add a poo sock.

I'm fine with the dongle because all I ever use the headphone jack for is for listening in my car (no bluetooth), so the dongle just stays on the end of the aux cord in my car.

No dongle would obviously be better, but it's a very minor inconvenience for me,

And the two established businesses just artificially lower their prices to keep out the competition, forcing the third to stop trying to compete.

Ah, the contrarian.

If you let other people ruin something for you, that's on you, not them. Especially if they "ruin" it by celebrating and enjoying it.

The use of the word "milk" to refer to plant-based milks is older than the country in which this argument is occurring.

If we cannot afford the cost of prosecuting our own citizens, even particularly powerful ones, then we cannot afford the cost of existence. The nation needs to be dismantled and rebuilt into one that can afford to uphold its own laws.

Yeah, Linus admitted that himself. He still owns the majority, and Yvonne owns the rest. The CEO really can't actually do anything that Linus doesn't want, he's just a figurehead and businessman there to keep Linus from being forced into the office and off the camera.
