The context of this sign being in a sushi restaurant would be the key here. In higher-end, "omakase" sushi restaurants, you'll be served a set of sushi piece by piece as the chef makes it in front of you. Typically you'll want to eat it as soon as it is placed on your plate.

I'm right handed and still have really shitty handwriting.

Depends on the type of model it is, a lot of the time. Anime egirl/eboy-styled avatars tend to be some of the worst offenders (often kitbashers who don't know any better), while furry avatars tend to be really well optimized most of the time.

If you aim for medium, that's generally sufficient.

F is the eighth letter, "of"

It certainly doesn't subtract from the experience, that's for sure.

I hate to tell you this, but the previous one was, too.

Typically needs to be magically-infused calcite chalk for that traditional feeling that your new demon friend will appreciate and respect you for. If you can't infuse the chalk yourself, store bought is fine but you might end up with unexpected results based on the source.

Google dropping support for XMPP is what put it one foot in the grave. They abused the protocol to gain the lion's share of users for Google Talk, and then cut off any resistance that remained. It exists still, technically, but when's the last time you heard about or used it? I only know about it because EVE Online players used it for large group text communication before Discord became a thing.

XMPP still exists in the same way that critically endangered animals still exist: barely and by the adamant will of some dedicated few.

As someone currently hunting rentals in Calgary: single minimum wage earners, even a bit above minimum wage, are quickly losing their future here. If I made less than I do (about 3100) I would find it very difficult to find a place unless I'm rooming with more people than there are bedrooms.

People working remotely on median-level incomes trying to escape the GTA or Metro Vancouver will find it great though.

It could be leftover credit that people are using up. There's a fair bit of it floating around, giving awards used to give points too so it's hard to say if anyone actually gave them money to give the gold.

Can't just have bots posting to each other over and over forever, either. Bots need to pull from what they're trying to imitate, and LLMs learning from themselves are already showing to be problematic.
