My brother tried your approach, he got an exorcism as Satan was tempting him, lol.

Grew up in very similar hell. It's way more common than people think but also not appropriate at all.

I've since completely cut off the toxic members of my family and never been happier.

Normal ass dude here. Do it. I've held a tea party before for my friends. Had a big ol' kettle, we made our tea and sat around listening to music and catching up. Everyone brought little finger sandwiches or treats.

Can you link the game? I caught the flu and so have a bit of spare time to debug. Just want to make sure I'm not looking at the wrong game

Set launch options WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1 %command%

If that doesn't work let me know and I'll dig further for ya.

I've looked and can't find much. It's been a few years though so maybe time to look again.

Unfortunately here (US), companies buy your information from bulk vendors so most of the junk is still directly addressed to me so that wouldn't stop it. Even when I was in apartments they got the information from somewhere.

I don't suspect AI per se, but it feels more like just copying questions and answers from Reddit. Which yeah ok it's basically what other AIs do.

Have you tested it? Thoroughly? Side by side in controlled conditions? Tell you what, I'll post my sources. You post yours, and we'll compare.

Source one - Ann Reardon tracked down the origin of this myth and put it to test. She's got an actual degree in food science and makes it approachable for people without a science background. She shows clips of the bulk gassing. I got curious and tested it at home with a similar method to her except I used entire bunches of bananas and gave each bunch their own room to control the process more. I did control for sunlight and temperature as best I could do those were equal across the bunches. The fridge banana was indeed the only one that didn't ripen at the same time as the rest.

Source two - a paper discussing how ethylene gas works to trigger ripening and that bananas (and other fruits) are picked green and then gassed with ethylene to control the process. It talks about how this gassing kicks off the process and once it starts there's no stopping it because the enzymatic processes have begun and enough ethylene gas has already permeated the membrane. It also mentions needing hypobaric conditions to stop mature fruit from speeding up the ripening of immature fruit. Which a fridge although not negative pressure is closer than ambient.

Source three - External application of ethylene to induce ripening suppresses a bananas internal production of ethylene gas. It's already producing less than it would on a vine because it doesn't need to.

Okay now where's yours?

Welcome to the club and you're spot on. I buy a few fake mice and stuff but for years my cats have played mostly with: stolen hair ties, a green washcloth (but only that one, no idea), a laser pointer, and some string (put away after each session so he doesn't eat it).

Ads, in every form. I use an adblocker so I don't see most of them digitally but a few still slip through. It's a pain having to keep it updated with new lists of things to block.

And don't get me started on the amount of mail that just goes straight into the bin. Credit card ads, valpack ads, "buy your house for cash" cards, etc etc. So much time wasted tossing those.

This OP doesn't know what they're talking about. The bananas are picked green, stacked in a warehouse, and then the whole thing is fumigated with ethylene gas. This triggers the ripening process. It doesn't come from the stem or anything like that (in commercial setting, if left as a bunch on the tree maybe).
