I don’t understand how it is so hard for people to clean up after themselves. Our parks and trails in the US are filthy. There is trash on the ground and garbage cans 10 feet away.
It is really sad that they had to erect this barrier, but it is laughable that people can’t respect nature when the entire purpose of their visit is to admire it.
With the debut of remarkably effective weight-loss drugs, America’s high obesity rate and its uniquely astronomical prescription drug pricing appear to be set on a catastrophic collision course—one that threatens to “bankrupt our entire health care system,” according to a new Senate report that modeled the economic...

Banished is a low bar. It had a lot of issues. I would argue the recently released Farthest Frontier is a better comparison. It also has some flaws but is leaps and bounds better than Banished.
Because recycling plants are far and few between with many requiring you to be a resident to use the facilities. Many also charge for each piece brought in. They are also only open on weekdays when people have to work.
Recycling electronics and metals is good on paper, but there is very much a service problem.
Most of these changes are welcome. The Swashbuckler change feels weird since it removes some strategy. Joker positioning is actually important and fun, so removing effects that enforce that mechanic is a little sad for me.
Guaranteeing a joker booster pack in the first store is a very necessary change since RNG on even getting a joker has screwed more than one run for me, but at the same time it almost feels like a required purchase which indicates some sort of design flaw.
I have been reading a lot lately about not wearing outside shoes in the house and it interests me even more because I’ve been saving to re-carpet my whole house. It hits me every now and then about how to do things though, like, say I’m cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I’m assuming it’s change...
So back when I was first living on my own. I of course had no money and I still needed coffee. So I just started doing what I would call cowboy coffee. Where the hot water and grounds are just combined. Then the grounds settle to the bottom. I have had a number of people find this quite uncouth and have tried to make me change....
Do NOT blame the devs for this. They are not the ones to decide the direction of the product or the priority of the tickets they work. Blame upper management for making these poor decisions and the product managers for being spineless and not pushing back.
These clowns still not realizing that wealth and trickle economics are mutually exclusive. By definition wealth is the hoarding of resources beyond one’s necessities. One does not get wealthy by releasing their wealth.
These people will not make more jobs. They will reduce the number of jobs, pay less and expect more, and hoard the extra wealth created by the hard work of their workers.
This past year tech companies have reported record profits while also seeing one of the highest layoff counts in years.
This opinion gets significantly less unpopular the older you get. I wish I didn’t have to take one, but I get tired and unfortunately they are necessary.
This seriously stressed me out when I put my last computer together. I was patient and waited hoping it would fix itself (which it did), but my heart sank when I didn’t see anything on the monitor.
Good to know this is what is happening. Some visual feedback would be nice.

I stopped using the site when they required me to provide data every few weeks in order to see anything on the site. Come on, Glassdoor. It isn’t like I am job hopping or having salary changes every 30 days.
It has become useless for first time job seekers for this reason as well.

Agreed. Public safety is making everyone aware and allowing them to make informed decisions. Public safety is not hiding information hoping the problem solves itself.

The irony being the video game industry is currently one of the most unstable and corrupt industries right now. Video game CEOs are raking in money while the actual creatives are being fired left and right. There is serious brain drain and a mental health crisis is occurring.
