I think it’s a combination of nostalgia and the fact that SML1 had levels, enemies and music that were super unique compared to other Mario games before or after.

SML2 is a better game on the technical side of things but nothing in it blew me away or was memorable enough for me to recall with super clarity like I do with 1.

I’ll always prefer SML 1.

But I do fondly remember this.

I have a Samsung TV and it’s kind of irritating that it does this same thing. Any option you leave selected for a few seconds will start playing a sample

It’s frustrating to have to go hunt for a safe place to put my cursor so my TV doesn’t start playing something I don’t want it to.

This is why Star Wars is a fantasy series with sci Fi trappings and not sci fi.

It’s not that simple. Changing positions will probably polarize people to vote against him as much as it will win over votes to him.

Especially because those who are likely to withhold votes over this will probably demand the most drastic of actions before Biden passes their purity test.

Geopolitically it’s a bad move on top of that as it ends the relationship with practicallythe only middle Eastern power we have as an ally.

The reproductions of that alone is certain to energize opposition to Biden in the far right.

While he may lose voters over his current inaction, taking action could easily lead to a net loss on election day.

Unfortunately what is best for a country geopolitically and what is morally right often don’t agree with each other.

18 billion yearly profit last I checked.

Not enough.

Never enough.

And on the flip side of things, I live in Florida and biking as a primary method of transportation in the summer is just insane.

I do bike for exercise in the summer and 15 minutes will leave me drenched in sweat needing a shower.

The rural population isn’t the issue, it’s suburbia which is where the majority of the US population lives.

It’s not dense enough for public transportation to be viable and it’s zoned in a way that makes pedestrian traffic a non starter.

Suburbia causes a lot of problems. I understand why it exists - owning a house with a yard is nice. I personally wouldn’t want to give that up to live in an urban environment if I didn’t have to

Man, I barely graduated from high school because I saw the entire thing as busy work.

My grade in any class was dependant on how much the tests were weighed versus any class or homework. Sleeping or reading through class was my usual.

Now that I’m older I see the value in building the discipline needed to do that sort of busy work because if I don’t my house falls apart and such, so there’s that.

I wish it didn’t take me so long to learn it though.
