    Funny. For me it's the opposite, I have baby hands so PS controllers are perfect but xbox controllers are really hard on my thumbs especially.

    Of course the companies won't. The sad truth is, they don't give one shit about us users.

    Honestly, I'd imagine it's more just that Google (obviously) doesn't care about your privacy, and it's not worth their time building this feature in with nothing to gain.

    Meh, honestly right now I think I'm happy with my music and I don't want to plunge into a whole other genre that would clash with my playlist. Thanks though.

    I love dreary gray days for the most part! It's so much more calm and relaxed. The only problem is when it's 3PM and it's so weirdly dark and dreary it feels like 8 or something. And I actually don't think you're as alone with the colour black anymore. Dark themes are all the rage nowadays, for computers at least!

    Good link, thanks. I have to say I agree with everything on this list, but this is the big one for me:

    Android should let users deny and revoke apps' Internet permissions

    This honestly feels like a really basic feature and it feels weird that neither I nor Google thought of this before, but having it pointed out to me now it feels almost like a necessity.

    Eh, I'm just not a fan of overly loud and heavy music in general. More of a rap/hip hop guy.

    Oh hey, there's my reverse. I strongly dislike every star wars movie. The prequels are actually my favourite because at least I can enjoy laughing at them.

    Well, personally, I much preferred the Playstation's library with classics like Shadow of The Colossus, GoW, Ratchet and Clank, etc. Also, when the Xbox first came out it had that comically oversized weird controller and I much prefer the PS2's. Beyond that I'm just not a big fan of online gaming and I honestly may be a tad biased.

    Woah woah hold on there... are we comparing original Xbox to PS2? This is the hill I want to die on if so. So as someone who isn't a rider, are sport bikes a specific type of motorcycle? And if...

    the objectively better product that was the Xbox

    Woah woah hold on there... are we comparing original Xbox to PS2? This is the hill I want to die on if so.

    you, the reader, shouldn't automatically assume that sport bikes are dangerous

    So as someone who isn't a rider, are sport bikes a specific type of motorcycle? And if so, why are they more dangerous (or perceived as more dangerous)?

    Could be a game, book, movie, song, etc that is generally considered subpar. Personally, I quite like a lot of Eminem's new music, although I know it's an unpopular opinion. It certainly doesn't hit the same highs and there are a lot of stinkers but I still think some of it is quite good and worth a listen despite the circlejerk. I've also been playing Just Cause 4 lately, and although it certainly isn't a masterpiece and I will say the story is below the others, to me Just Cause was never about the story. It's about getting in there and just having fun causing chaos and generally messing around.

    Come on man

    I am well aware of the ongoing ebooks vs. physical books debate, and I have no interest in kindling that fire here.

    Instead, I am seeking recommendations for books that are arguably better in physical form due to their makeup.
