I always said “in GIN icks” (gin like the alcohol) based on someone else’s pronunciation years ago. I never realized it was meant to have anything to do with “engine” as a result.

Previously, I coded something in Rust real quick to spit out and manipulate some JSON, but it looks like the jq/yq below would work fine.

way too many people are Republican or Democrat people

We don’t have the same kind of proportional representation, are nearly 100% first-past-the-post, and there are in-built advantages to the two major parties. Because of the shitty system, presidential elections generally necessitate voting for one or the other or the vote is split enough that one of those two that didn’t have votes siphoned off wins.

At more local/regional levels, there are other parties out there that can be viable. We have primary elections (I’m not sure what the UK equivalent would be) and I know that some people are voting outside of the two main parties there. However, when the actual election comes, it’s almost always two candidates and almost always from those two parties so it’s voting for the least-worst. It sucks.

laughs in Japanese bureaucracy

Probably snes for me as well. Then again, I missed a couple generations by being busy/poor (I still hate trying to play anything on n64 or it’s cursed controller).

I had Atari 2600, nes, genesis, Gameboy, snes, playstation, switch. I think I may have had or borrowed a gamegear at some point. In my first apartment, one of the other guys had a playstation 2.

We are polar opposites; I almost never want something not in fullscreen, hah. I’ve been using a mac for work for a bit over a year now and hate it.

When and in which context would I have heard this?

The fuck is a “sizzle reel”. I mean, I get what it probably is from context, but who comes up with this shit
