For the same reason employers and unemployment insurance is moving from termination, to separation. Less of an inherent negative connotation.

Unfortunately, they fail to realize that the system itself is what created the negative connotation in the first place. So it too will be replaced with yet another synonym in the future.

I did this too. The only time I regretted doing it was when I lost my snappening badge

We have an obligation to show our children happiness can exist in a work life balance.
Could you be happier with your balance elsewhere? This is really the only question to answer.
I'm away from home now than my husband, but I'm day happier in my job than I've ever been in my life. My happiest work life balance is being happy at work. When I'm off I'm more likely to spend meaningful time with them now, than when I was home more often, but absent from the moment because I was depressed with my life over all.
Do you have balance? Honestly, if seems like you do because the loss of either of both seems to cause you distress. But this is only one person looking in

I didn't realize ps didn't have quick resume, that is just such an integral part of my gaming experience in not sure I could give it up

What has Sony done that's been innovative honestly though?

They have good exclusives, and the controller is objectively better. But they're way behind in online integration for beyond game use. The play station competitor to game pass is objectively bad.

Their studios aren't really doing anything with graphics or physics that is not being done comparably or better by others. Tears of the kingdom physics on a fucking switch is miles beyond anything MS or PS can do on their massively better hardware.

Sony lives and dies on brand loyalty and exclusives. And that controller.

I modded 2 niche communities, and it was a relief to leave and resign. I haven't felt so free to express a real opinion in a long time. Even alts aren't safe because you have an chair linguists.

Mods of bigger subs, good and bad do a job I wouldn't ever want

Steve Huffman went on a media offensive where he attempted to cast aggrieved users and moderators, many of whom give countless hours of their free time to make Reddit the vibrant platform it is today, as unreasonable. “These people who are mad, they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free,”

Oh the fucking irony of the guy whose site can't survive without millions of free hours from dedicated mod teams, who spend their entire duration criticised (sometimes tightly, sometimes wrongly,) shit on, harassed, and often doxxed and threatened by the user base

I think co-opting a "default" kind of name like football, and then doing nothing to build that community, would pretty well qualify as untrustworthy imo
