Stop buying games from studios that pull this kind of shit. I get that some industries are run by monopolies and need government regulations since nobody can choose to support the better companies (because there are none), but gaming isn’t one of them. There are hundreds of independent studios that make games as a passion. Stop buying $90 Aways Online, Loot box, Battle Pass, Day 1 DLC, popular IP games with $50 million dollar budgets funded by investors. If people stopped buying these they’d stop being made.
Yes, they operate 24/7. If the work week is shortened, companies wont operate less hours, they’d just spend more money on staffing. They’d either need to hire more people to cover 24/7 operations, or pay existing staff overtime to work their current schedules. Companies don’t want to spend more money on staffing which is why they don’t want reduced work hours even though studies show it’s beneficial for people’s lives.
The report said 59 per cent of retirees report helping their non-student adult children with both day-to-day expenses and big-ticket items like home purchases.
Demon Core. It was meant to be part of a third nuclear bomb to be dropped on Japan, but after their surrender, the core was used in two experiments which both killed several people via exposure to lethal doses of radiation.
How is this not government tyranny? How is this not a violation of freedom of speech and right to assembly? What happened to “I might not agree with what you’re saying but I’ll defend your right to say it”?
The neighborhood suddenly became a popular spot about two years ago, apparently after a photo taken in a particular angle showing Mount Fuji in the background of a local convenience store, became a social media sensation.
Another neighbourhood in Kyoto has also thought about outright banning tourists after having to deal with them just walking into people’s homes. The neighbourhood is known for its old architecture. They’re still private homes. It’s nice you think the old houses look cool, you can’t just walk into them.
PCBWay’s “contact” detail page includes gender. (You contact me on my phone number, email or gender.) Apparently, the third gender is “Secrecy”. In HTML, the selector is called “sexuality”. Maybe I can change the sex of the fake support agent’s avatar?...
I’ve been doing this for decades. I find raunchy copypasta and put it in the notes section of etransfers. Nobody is investigating something because of what’s in the notes field.
For several decades Canada’s population growth rate hovered at about 1.0 percent annually. This rate has more than tripled in a few short years, up to 3.3 percent in 2023.
There is no downside to building homes for everyone. There are downsides to not having a large population. More people can be beneficial economically, geopolitically, and socially.
It really resonated when he said that executives are so far removed from the actual work that they have no idea how it’s performed. I’ve never met the executives that decide on the policies of my workplace. They don’t even live in my country. How can they dictate how I do my job?
He’s right that workers violate policy in order to get work done, because following it exactly would result in failure and failure is always blamed on the worker. A union ensures executives can’t blame low productivity on workers instead of their own mismanagement.
it feels similar in egregious price to getting room service, and you don’t even have to talk to the guy, and you can convince yourself it’s nice to treat yourself you’ve been working hard etc etc. you don’t have to do any dishes or think about all the rotten shit in the fridge. it can feel like a legitimate mental break,...
What’s crazy is that all these food delivery apps are barely breaking even. They’re still in the “disruption” phase where they’re trying to offer the service at a really low cost to capture market share. $30 for an $8 item to be delivered is actually their introductory price!
