I looked it up, it does look like a line from the original PS1 script. Cid says this line, in the context of Cloud being potentially short-sighted by letting people finish their personal business before entering the Northern Crater.

Cloud: No! What I meant was... What are we all fighting for? I want us all to understand that. Save the planet... for the future of the planet... Sure, that's all fine. But really, is that really how it is? For me, this is a personal feud. I want to beat Sephiroth. And settle my past. Saving the planet just happens to be part of that. I've been thinking. I think we all are fighting for ourselves. For ourselves... and that someone... something... whatever it is, that's important to us. That's what we're fighting for. That's why we keep up this battle for the planet.

Barret: You're right... It sounds cool sayin' it's to save the planet. But I was the one who blew up that Mako Reactor...... Lookin' back on it now, I can see that wasn't the right way to do things. I made a lot of friends and innocent bystanders suffer... ...At first, it was revenge against Shinra. For attackin' my town. But now...... Yeah. I'm fightin' for Marlene. For Marlene... For Marlene's future... Yeah... I guess I want to save the planet for Marlene's sake...

Cloud: Go and see her. Make sure you're right, and come back. All of you. Get off the ship and find out your reasons for yourselves. I want you to make sure. Then I want you to come back.

Cid: Maybe ain't none of us'll come back. Meteor's gonna kill us anyway. Let's just forget any useless struggling!

Cloud: I know why I'm fighting. I'm fighting to save the planet, and that's that. But besides that, There's something personal too... A very personal memory that I have. What about you all? I want all of you to find that something within yourselves. If you don't find it, then that's okay too. You can't fight without a reason, right? So, I won't hold it against you if you don't come back.

It ends up being initially "Yes I want my app to notify me about important updates" but then the app abuses its notification privilege to start spamming you. I want my banking app to notify me when I get paid and when bills clear. I don't want my banking app to tell me about a new low interest rate I can secure on a loan.

The app at least had granular notification settings I could go in and change, but then it ends up being a periodic battle of attrition against changes to the granular notifications that are always opted in by default every time they add a new category. I turn off "offers and promotions" in an app but now it offers "recommended deals" or some garbage.

Might be the conspiratorial part of my brain coming through, but I'm half convinced it's not just a stupid person, but an AI that completely missed the point.

I almost wonder if there shouldn't be an extension or corollary of Hanlon's Razor somewhere to account for AI.

Nicole noticed me once, that's the only time in my life I ever felt special.

The concept of purple is older than English, though. I guess when English chose to adopt it is the main question, but should be clarified that the term where "purple" derives from goes back to the ancient Romans, who recognized it as a distinct color used for royalty given the difficulty in obtaining it.

It does have me wondering exactly when red onions first arrived in the UK, or what the Romans may have called it (potentially before those dirty Britons got their hands on it).

I also know that, when boiled, they yield a very rich, red color. Could maybe be named "red" due to that? Some Orthodox Christians/eastern Europeans traditionally use red onions to dye eggs for Easter.

This is the same use case that people are currently up in arms against Larian for

Lolita is an (in)famous novel about a man's obsessive sexual attraction to a prepubescent girl. It's supposedly well written, but the content is abhorrent.

Getting help with Windows now: support forums owned by Microsoft filled with users telling they have the same issue, and AI agents hallucinating solutions.

I feel this to my core.

My work PC uses Windows, and sometimes I have to Google something that is acting up, which takes me to these sorts of threads. It's always:

OP: I'm having trouble with this app, it doesn't recognize my default audio device. I've tried X, Y, and Z, which did not work.

Jimothy, Certified Windows Expert: Greetings, OP! My name is Jimothy, a Certified Windows Expert and fellow Windows enthusiast! I am sorry to hear about the issues you've been having. But don't worry, I am here to assist. 3 paragraphs later You should try going to the user settings and make sure that "Use default audio device" is checked on. Did this fix your issue?

OP: I don't see any setting labeled "Use default audio device."

15 posts follow from other users who are experiencing the same issue, also confirming there is no such setting.

Jimothy, Certified Windows Expert: Greetings again, OP! I am sorry to hear that did not answer your question. According to the app specifications, use of the default audio device is not a supported feature at this time. If you would like to make a suggestion to include this feature in a future release, you may submit a request through the Microsoft Feedback Portal. I will now close this topic to further replies. Thank you!
