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.

I'm one of those older Trekkies who will complain about the aesthetic choices of the DSC sets.

My view is that there is a certain style with sci-fi shows of this nature that are part of their identity.

Large swings in design choices are very distracting to the point of being off putting to me unless there is good reason for it.

One thing I absolutely applaud Disney for is how they've managed to modernize but still keep the 70s aesthetics in their Star Wars shows. And I wish Trek had followed the same path.

The streamlined menu makes it so the line goes pretty fast.

Even when it's around the building it'll only take 10 min.

Do I need sources for the failed invasion of Kyiv?

Everyone knows about it.

Florida here checking in.

Our government is hard at work on this.

It continues on about not being able to fire people for thinking being gay is a sin and so on, but I don't want this to be a novel.

It's normal for young children to have a music class, usually this is primarily a 'fun' class and includes a lot of chorus singing.

This was one of the songs sung in the class when I was a kid.

Yes, it's generally considered rude to switch languages specifically to hide your conversation.

It's because most will assume you are doing it to talk shit.
