I know I’m gonna get flamed for this, but I kinda agree.
I paid $60 for games back when a bottle of coke in a vending machine was 25 cents. Now I regularly see sodas in vending machines at $1.50 but games are still $60? Don’t get me wrong I’m grateful, but when you have a 0% price increase over a period of time where inflation increases by 150%+ everywhere else, it’s hardly surprising the companies are looking for new ways to monetize.
Or just be me, WFH and never leave the house
Well, it had one in WWII which is almost more impressive
Prolly gonna die
Smelled like fruit
That was a lie
Fun fact, cats aren’t actually very effective at killing all the rodents. They’ve done studies and basically the cats just make them really skiddish and they hide so you never see them. They kill one here or there but the real benefit is getting them out of sight.
I mean if I’d been paying enough attention to see this I wouldn’t have made the meme in the first place
Yeah. I write software for a living and I use open source stuff extensively. I contribute sometimes to open source projects, but not everything can be open source or I’ll be back to flipping burgers.
Yeah, anything with Ray tracing will have player reflections. You usually don’t see them because they’re faking ray tracing by baking the light bounces when the scene first loads
I feel like im about to get screamed out of town for this, but it’s an honest question in good faith so im gonna ask it… What’s the difference between trans chasers and, for instance, a straight dude “chasing” cis women?
It seems like someone being attracted to the combination of your genital configuration and your gender preference/presentation is what you want right?
Was doing my masters degree. We’re all talking about some book several people had read. We ask one guy if he’s read it and he says “I don’t like… read books” with the emphasis on those last two words just dripping with condescension. Like read the statement with the subtext of “if I caught my kid reading a book I’d disown him and call him a queer”.
Really inexplicable take in a room full of literally only masters students
This one. Second my app stopped working I never went back. Have been an avid daily contributor for a decade.
Yeah aside from the fact that it’s going to likely affect their decision. Like I wanna see this guy face justice but not at the expense of my family getting fieebombed inside our house
Honestly as a mid-career IT person, I’d take a 30-40% cut for that extra day without a second of hesitation.
Her last name is actually zelenska IIRC Ukraine has gendered last names
Climate change isn’t really an existential threat. To be a filter it has to kill all humans and even the bleakest models don’t predict that.
Also for it to be a Great Filter it has to be something that ALL civilizations do to kill themselves. Seems unlikely that all civs wou ld even have analogs to gossil fuels in quantities sufficient to do this kind of damage. And the idea that zero of them actually course-correct when they notice it seems equally implausible
I mean, sure lots of atheists are assholes. But many of us were raised religious. For sure I know more atheists raised religious than I know religious folks raised atheist. Either way folks should just let folks make up their own minds
Enough money that I can retire in six months. So idk, like, call it a cool $4M/yr and I’m yours in office for 6 months. Otherwise I guess MAYBE my same salary at somewhere walking distance where I only have to work 3 or 4 days a week at 8 hour days.
My mental health is just so much better working from home. The upside would have to be enough to balance that and realistically nobody is actually going to do that.
Are you suggesting we just let Putin take over Europe Nazi-style or is this comment unrelated to the article?
I started in college. Vaped for around 8 years like constantly. Once you’re really addicted your body tells you you’re getting pleasure from vaping, but really you’re just temporarily setting back how bad it feels to not vape. You’re literally having a miniature panic attack every time you crave it and stopping it by doing it.
Been clean for a year now. My overall stress level is WAY lower than while vaping. Felt that after a few months in a big way. I’ve also got high blood pressure. I ran out of my prescription blood pressure meds the same day I quit. A month later when I went to the doctor my BP was significantly lower than when I was on them, so literally quitting did more for my BP than prescription meds.
I sleep a lot better now too. Also, not having to constantly sneak away, or get grumpy on a plane, etc. Also also, to do with the blood pressure, but as a dude sexual performance is notably better.
Don’t start vaping.
