A large part of growing up with social media is learning how to effectively use your emotions in a way that assists you rather than hindering you. Passion and anger are way too close together, it can be really hard to separate them. Passion is very helpful when motivating yourself to write in a compelling way. Unfortunately, it's something that can best be learned through practice. The good news is the first step is recognizing that it is a problem, so you have started. The bad news is, you won't be good at it for a while still, but keep trying anyway.

Considering it's how his followers already use their Bible, we can assume they have the same level of "reverence" for the constitution.

I didn't even get to try to enjoy it, one of the missions pretty early on had a 100% chance to crash at a certain point on my computer and after a year of checking to see if each game patch or video driver update fixed it, I just gave up.

Starlink roughly compares to mobile internet. And not particularly favorably on average. It's good if you live in a place where even cell service doesn't reach or is super old. But it doesn't compare to even a cheap/bad wired connection for bandwidth, but especially for latency.

Wow, how did I not know there was a saVant game?

[-] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Pretty sure it happened specifically because no one expected it to happen, so they never even thought to check.

That's awesome. Buncha nerds, hehe. I miss when games were made by a handful of friends, sure sometimes it meant they leaned a little too heavily on a mechanic that only played well in their opinion and stuff like that, the upsides were worth it though.

"Despite a ramp being available, staff presumed Ms Landre didn't want one"

How is that just one throwaway sentence under one of the images and not explained in any more detail. What does that mean? How available? Why did they assume she wouldn't want it? Does she know a ramp was available?

2019, back in #avocadotoast days. When apparently we wasted our money on extravagances like "not the cheapest fruit/vegetables". Which wasn't even the case. We literally didn't even do that, we 100% had to eat the cheapest fruit/vegetable, if we were lucky enough that any fruit or vegetable met our budget. They were so out of touch that even their attempt to find a minor extravangance they thought we could afford to waste money on but shouldn't, was inaccessible.

This is every game for the people that skip dialog and cutscenes.

Now do a recap of a TV show, except skip all the parts where they aren't shooting a gun or stuff isn't exploding. I don't get that TV show, nothing had any context and there was no motivation or lessons to learn, stuff just randomly exploded from being shot at.

In trials, it has consistently boosted productivity. More people need it in order to be productive than the amount that choose to be less productive once they won't die from not being productive.

Also in trials, it has not costed more than current social programs in those areas. Clearing redundancies and red tape accounted for enough cost cuts to make UBI overall cost a similar amount or less than what all the various programs with all their various overhead costed all added together.

Our current strategy is making us worth a ton of money, so let's change strategies to what all the companies that are losing are doing instead, so we can make money?
