Ah, Sierra. The game company almost singlehandedly responsible for creating a generation of masochists.

You're still right.

There are no good guys in Borderlands. Full stop.

That is baseless and untrue!

I'll have you know I HAVE a profile picture.

Ehhhh.. I'd classify that one as more Steampunk Fallout (1 or 2) or Baldur's Gate. Not that that makes it bad - it's great fun! Just maybe not what OP is looking for.

I think what set off the recent wave is when she threatened legal action against the person posting her private jet's tracking information. She (or her legal team) was alleging that it enabled stalking, but the tracking data is public information so stalkers would already have had access to it.

Oh for sure, but it's not nearly as much an issue in day to day life as we were led to believe. I suppose I could have been clearer.

To be fair, it wasn't until much later that I learned that the "buried alive" was metaphorical. See: debt, stress, etc.

DDG says it's from a HubSpot commercial. She plays a CEO of a pirate ship?

Superior Iron Man! The lead up to the story is: a lot of Marvel heroes were magically turned evil, things happened and they all were returned to normal, EXCEPT for Tony, who somehow managed to avoid being returned to normal AND hide that he was still evil, and went on to do some decidedly "modern billionaire tech bro" horrible shit with his advanced tech.

What a fucked up storyline. Still a good read, though.

Optical Character Recognition. Essentially, software that "reads" an image and pulls text out of it.

Hi, person with high-functioning autism here. I was informed by a therapist that, due to the coping mechanisms most people learn as they grow up with conditions like these, they are incredibly difficult (if not impossible in some cases) to get an official diagnosis for.

My experience may not be relevant in this case but due to the overlap between autism and ADHD, it seemed relevant enough to share.
