Grapes in a burrito sounds weird, but raisins don't sound too bad. Maybe he's planning on dehydrating them.

Not much under that, but I remember them. I remember them more than slide decks.

Well, to be fair, he probably came up with it after hearing about Israel's Iron Dome. So he might've meant something like that. Or he might think it's a literal dome. Who can say with Trump.

It's only anime if it's made in the Anime Prefecture of Japan. Otherwise, it's just sparkling cartoons.

Now you have "fantasy isekai with a protagonist that's so overpowered it removes all conflict or stakes from the story."

I seriously don't get the appeal. I know it's wish-fulfillment, but can't our wish-fulfillment include overcoming challenges?

What turned me off of ESO was the class system. I just wanted to be an orc warrior or rogue, not a "dragon knight" or "night blade." While I would normally applaud the creativity, it seems out of place in an mmo. When I'm the legendary world-saving hero in the single player games, I get normal skills. When I'm one face in the crowd, I get these grandiose titles and flamboyant costumes that everyone else gets. Seems backwards.

Linux itself probably doesn't get enough credit. People still think it's an obscure nerd OS.

It's like how the generations before us knew how to fix cars better than more millennials. They learned because they had to, because their cars needed more maintenance than modern cars. Meanwhile, millennials had computers that needed more maintenance than modern computers, so that's what we learned.
