i've been really happy with finding out that you don't,,, need to use your legal name everywhere. cardholder name and billing address can be whatever, they aren't verified. even on utility accounts, you can put your own name. no one stops you. you mostly don't need the state to change your name.
firefox: failed to load page because internet isn't up yet.
me: reload now that internet is up and other websites are working.
firefox: nope, still instantly failed.
me: curl, is firefox telling the truth?
curl: nope.
me: firefox, SHIFT-reload.
firefox: oh, okay. it worked now that i actually tried it.
yeah, having just one laptop with a working keyboard feels so cozy. i'm definitely not going back, even though this means having to reboot to play age of empires
met my first seriously toxic player in Age of Empires 2. they were so pissed at me for not building a wall at exactly the time and place they wanted me to. if you can't handle your teammates not agreeing with every detail of your strategy don't play team games
i walled my side later but we ended up losing the game because some cavalry snuck in past our wall somehow. teammate blamed me ofc, but watching the replay i found it was actually their wall that the enemies came in through.
