Perhaps a soft kneepad that you wear would work for you

What you’re talking about is shorting the market, that is dangerous to do. Unlimited liability

You buy the dip, not the bump.

We are all made of stardust. We have a little bit of everything inside of us… Probably

Firefox lets you set default site settings, make the default site setting disable autoplay audio and video.

For sites where you know you trust the video, you can do a per site permission in the URL bar saying autoplay is allowed for like YouTube

Do you know why you fart? Are you secretly lactose intolerant but don’t know it?

100%. Be dynamic, not static. A standing desk can help being dynamic!

It would be nice if people just said what they were thinking.

We wanted to juice our PSN subscriber numbers, so we’re forcing everybody to make a PSN account, so hopefully they spend more money with us in the future

true… but you could say that about anything, just trying new strategies

you can program without math, but it will be hard to pass a rigorous interview without math.

You should strive to learn symbolic math at least, and make sure you can do all the leet code problems and explanations using whatever math you are comfortable with.

Some places do it weekly

That is making the assumption that pornography and prostitution only exist because people need food and shelter.

The rich porn stars (they do exist) would be a contradiction to this theory.

Its kind of live action, and you do roleplay whatever you want to be. But yeah I agree it’s not the perfect use of the word.

Cyberpunk is a role-playing game in that you have a role to play, but it is not a role-playing game where you determine your own destiny and have significant impact on the outcome.

I don’t know if there’s better ways to express that thinking, ARPG versus CRPG? But that lacks nuance as well

It’s pretty good. I don’t think it’s $30 good. But it’s pretty good, I would put it in the class of interactive fiction, an in-depth visual novel.

As far as role-playing goes, it’s good for LARPing, but you don’t really get to craft your own story. There’s lots of rails, there are narrative branches but they all come back to the same place.

Kind of like a very well done Bethesda narrative environment, some okay storylines, some amazing storylines. It’s all on rails, you can do it in different orders. It’s a good immersion game.

When you want a Entry level online only job, your now competing with the global workforce.

You can get paid more when geography matters (so in person, or for legal reasons), culture matters, language matters (we already narrowed down to English for this example), skills matter (more difficult the skill, higher the remuneration), relationships matter (people know you, so they trust you to work remotely)

What are you offering, able to do, that someone from one of the low cost countries can’t do in order to justify $20/hr? That’s what should be driving your job search.

Not much will change, this guy has been president before, he spend more time on the golf course then in the oval office.

I expect lots of embarrassing speeches and truths/tweets, but other then that the purple party autocrats will be running the country like they always do.

It’s pretty straightforward. If the apology is expressed around how the other person perceives things. It’s not a real apology.

I’m sorry you feel that way. I’m sorry you think that. I’m sorry you took that misunderstanding from me.

In fact, in these situations, it may be better not to apologize at all. I realize some of the language I use isn’t great, I’m working on it, please understand I’m not going to be perfect at it.

Don’t add the while your around bit.

I’m going to work on improving my language, and I’ll be mindful going forward, it’s a very deep habit, so please bear with me.
