I have to occasionally use it. Not often, but there are still times where nothing else works. Sometimes I'll need to log in to a site, but for a wild XYZ reason it doesn't work on Firefox, just Chromium-based browsers. Or the site won't display at all. Or for instance the web devs completely block anything but Chromium with an excuse that "it can't work on Firefox" (looking at you Apple Business Manager, go fuck yourself). Luckily, it's rare enough.

Same here. If I could I'd only WFH, but we only get a few days a week. I don't have an issue disconnecting mentally from work. However, I think a big contributor is I don't exactly hate my current job. I sometimes surprise myself how easily and quickly I switch off.
My TL on the other hand prefers the office, probably because they have two young kids, who can be quite loud and require lots of attention.
Look, some of us are monster fuckers and you'll have to deal with it.
Which scene exactly? I've read a lot of complaints about different parts, but my biggest issue is
Tap for spoiler
at least in the show, they made it look like I should give a shit about Abby's revenge, when her father and his science buddies were literally about to kill a child who couldn't consent to this procedure even if she wanted to. For something that would have most likely failed, because if I'm not mistaken, according to the game, they had failed multiple times to to produce a working vaccine at that point. So all that whining about Joel taking away her choice is bullshit drama, because she was too young to consent anyway. That's why I'm firmly in the fuck Part 2 camp.
I never played the game, but I did know about the first game's ending and about Joel's fate in the second one, due to the controversy. I really liked the first season, but the second one just ruined it. It had its moments—sure. However, the entire story hinges on an extremely flawed premise. I just couldn't get immersed being reminded of it at every step.
I decided to take a peek at the fandom reactions and thought I was taking the crazy pills. Gamers loved it, and of course anyone who disagreed was a bigot or a hater. I guess it's just my luck to stumble into shows that turn into shit and then get gaslighted by the fandom into believing I'm somehow the crazy one.
For TLOU S2 in particular, Abby can go get fucked, for all I care, and the writers can shove the victim blaming up their ass.
Look up a higher res version. The middle is transparent.
I wish my company would follow suit. But no. We somehow keep digging ourselves deeper into the toxic M$ cesspit. At this point, at least a quarter of the tickets we get is about one of their products shitting the bed (Outlook, Excel, Exchange, Windows itself—you name it) and us looking for workarounds to patch things up. Recent patch broke DHCP service on some servers. At this point, their updates and patches are less reliable and more dangerous than a random project on Github in alpha stage meant only for personal use.
Daily vacuuming, sometimes helped by a robo vacuum. Or you get a breed that doesn't shed/is low shedding.
Back during his first presidency, I watched I think it was Mars rover landing. There was a press conference after the successful touchdown where he was speaking. At this point I knew the man was a stupid POS, but I'd never actually heard him speak for more than 10 seconds.
Whoo boy. Not only was his body language and cadence annoying, he was talking absolute, mindless nonsense. I clicked off the stream and decided to come back later to catch actually smart people talking. Joke's on me. Literally -- in the original meaning of the word -- an hour later he was still babbling nonsense. I was genuinely shocked at how much and for how long this man could talk with zero substance or coherence. The fact that so many people think he "says it as it is" either tells me these people a) never heard him speak for longer than 10 seconds, b) never actually listened with understanding, but just nodded along because he's not a "lib'rul" or c) are actually genuinely so dumb, but by some incredible stroke of luck they've survived long enough to vote for him.
We had that basically from the first grade of primary school. Each month a new book. It started with just summarizing the text, then gradually went from writing what you think the moral of the story is, to giving a full breakdown and analysis. 12 years of that, for the books I found mind-numbingly boring, that I ended up weaseling/cheatig my way through most of it without even reading. I remember giving my best to try read through the entire Crime and Punishment, but giving up 1/3 into the book. All the classic literature—just not for my brain.
Didn't help that while my primary school teacher had tried to cultivate my creative writing (45 minute, graded assignment), my secondary school teacher was a snob who graded me lower just because she "didn't like my style". God, I hated school, lol.
I still like reading modern fantasy and some other genres, so there's that, but school almost completely turned me off from reading.
