This is why you only post as a pseudonym.

I have work accounts with my real name and picture, and I have non-work accounts that are actually how I use these things. The work accounts just post work-related things that work contacts might be interested in.

No one from your work life wants to know what you think about anything other than what you do for a living. It's a distraction.

If I were forced to de-anonymize online, I'd just stop using it. There's supposed to be a line between public and private, work and personal.

Uh-huh.

I expect to see this put into actual use... sometime after I'm dead in a few decades.

Fusion has been just around the corner for as long as I've been alive.

After 2 years of entering lotteries, I finally got a PS5 a couple weeks ago. There was a nondescript sign at the back of a big-box store here in Japan telling people to inquire about stock. It always used to have a little sign that just said, "Sold out."

I had to pass a bunch of checks to qualify, but I walked out of there $600 lighter and one PS5 heavier.

I wanted the digital edition because I never buy discs, but I took what I could get.
