What specifically are you disagreeing with? Bad games are bad largely due to design and monetization reasons, both of which developers don’t participate in deciding. But, they do witness all of the good decisions that get cut from the design. Buggy games are one thing you can partially attribute to developers, but saying Bethesda devs have a net negative credential without explaining is willfully obtuse and borderline troll behavior.
Refusing to discuss nuance is the problem
Read that as United Atlantic Vultures and did a double-take. Not so far off though.
Lead exposure from shooting ranges has been studied and contributes to aggressive behaviors.
Did you just turn Success Kid into an angry/upset reaction? Rude!
I was known to yank a power chord or two back in college…
I don’t exhale, rather I just close off my airway to stop the big inhale. It sounds super uncomfortable to try exhaling at that point, but with some practice I have been able to stop the inhale and that mutes the sneeze considerably. Also, I can plug my nose when I feel it start to tickle and stop the sneeze entirely.
I got that advice as well – the explanation given to me was that it’s almost always used incorrectly, so just be safe and don’t. However, I like the way it makes writing more closely resemble natural speech; we usually talk in conjoined clauses rather than complete sentences.
I’ve been trying to get the semicolon to take off; haven’t had much luck though.
I think you’ve generalized a bit too much. The gender-swapped format was not created for this exact meme, it’s just a jovial commentary on male stereotypes women find unappealing. In this case, the joke isn’t that she saw a stack of random games, they’re all FIFA – did you maybe not notice that? The annoying male FIFA player is a pretty well-established meme at this point.
something we desperately need, like making all political donations illegal.
I don’t know how serious this idea is, but I have questions. Wouldn’t making all political donations illegal favor the rich more than the system already does, especially for small local elections? Could people just gift money to a not-yet-candidate prior to starting any campaigning? If yes, then the person with the wealthiest “friends” wins; if no, where do you draw the line chronologically? Is only cash money considered a donation – are stage appearances fine to “gift” to a political candidate? Can I neutralize a candidate by mailing them cash and reporting them? If no, what is required for them to do with the money?
I think I’d rather just see Citizens United overturned, but I’m very interested in more info on this idea
I might agree if the last single-sentence summary wasn’t there – that’s as ELI5 as it gets, I’d say.
ELI5 is not a literal request for an explanation a five year-old would understand; briefly consider how that would sound – useless, right? It’s a hyperbolic way of asking for a thorough, well-written explanation of a concept for someone who lacks the understanding to start asking the right questions or seek information on their own. There’s your ELI5 ELI5.
I was just trying to figure out if that’s industry standard or his “veiled” threats… I’m intimidated and I don’t even work there
Wait – unionizing means giving up stock options? I tried verifying this on [search engine] but not finding anything meaningful, is that real?
Value-adders.
DEI hire >> nepo hire
Uppies for all of you!
Put your foot down everywhere then – it’s a fallacy to think that it’s not worth it to resist data harvesting because it already gets collected “everywhere” anyway, take one step at a time to make it harder and harder. Opting out of this is just one step.
I think it’s going to get worse after he passes, because right now he has an active presence with its own will that his henchmen sort of have to listen to. After he goes, everyone around him is going to start doing some heinous shit “in his memory” or “because he would have wanted it”.
