“Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two conflicting ideas simultaneously”
As someone on the autism spectrum, I don’t mind using it or hearing people use it at all, as long as it’s being used as a synonym for “dumb” and not being used to specifically disparage someone with a disability. Just like “idiot”, words evolve over time from being specific words to refer to disabilities to just general words for someone being a dumbass.
Rule 5: must be a topic of discussion
This is not a subject of discussion. It’s just OP saying “help me do my job pls”

A shitpost is something low effort, that simply takes up space in the content feed without being engaging, entertaining, or interesting.
One of the primary forms of shitpost is a meme or joke that isn’t very funny, or has been reposted to death. So “shitposting” can refer to the act of spamming shitty meme posts.
One of those isn’t a benefit and the other isn’t true. Also, e-bikes are a thing
Gob Bluth rides one, which reality captured the vibe they gave for the average person.
Except it didn’t really sound promising

The one I buy has a Ziploc but it’s very shittily attached to the inside of the bag. So sometimes it breaks off and then both sides of the Ziploc are stuck to one wall of the bag and it becomes useless.
People just take any opportunity to rant about their favourite cause that gets them fired up. They don’t care about a fun premise for a thread. Sidenote: that would be my inconsequential thing to regulate; that people would always have to respond to forum posts on topic and in the spirit of the post.
Whenever people criticise Bethesda games for their engine, I pretty much assume right away they know nothing about game development. Bethesda’s engine is something they have a lot of control over and can constantly improve and iterate on. It’s not as though Starfield and Morrowind are running on the exact same codebase.
Starfield is bad because of bad game design, not bad game development. Skyrim was buggy on release as well, and yet people loved it because the design of the game was good enough that people were willing to forgive the programming flaws. People overvalue the engine in discussions about Bethesda games and it’s become this meme among people to seem like they sound like they know what they’re talking about, but ultimately the flaws in Bethesda games that determine their success has very little to do with what engine they use.
Also, the Skyblivion team is constantly releasing dev diaries showing the progress, and the mod is nearly finished. It looks very well done, and the whole thing is out in the open. There’s no reason to be cynical about whether it will ever release when you can literally go look at the progress with your own eyes.
For Oblivion, there is Skyblivion coming out next year.
Not sure what you hope would be added in a “remake” though. You’re asking for something which would inherently do very little and be exactly the sort of cash grab that we normally condemn. You want these games with better graphics or mechanics? Play with mods.

I could see some kind of arrangement where the age would be something reasonable like 16-18, but then there is a test you can write (basic civics questions eg. who are the candidates, what does the legislative branch do, etc.) and if you pass that test, kind of like a learner’s permit for driving, you can vote even if you’re under that age, down to a hard cutoff of like 13.
