I’d love this in the US, but we’re ruled by the wealthy assholes here. They have personal assistants to screen their calls.

I will continue to not buy EA products. Fuck 'em

He should be personally, criminally, liable for the deaths and suffering caused by his policies. So should leadership that supported him.

When I read “influencer” I read it as like “grifter”. I concede what you’re describing may not be bad.

Müller-Vahl asked the obvious follow-up question. What she found was that almost every patient in the outbreak had been watching a small number of Tourette influencers with very large followings who documented their own tics on YouTube and TikTok.

Why the fuck do these influencers exist.

I guess? But imagine if enough people took a couple minutes to post about how organization XYZ sucks, and (because the stock markets are irrational vibes based) that caused their stocks to drop a few points. That’s the only thing they care about. I’m willing to put in a few minutes if it might emotionally harm an asshole.

I was going to write “this depends on the ATS used” but I thought that was a safe assumption. Seems not so!

Tried to submit one and it didn’t seem to go through.

My hypothetical is a lot of recruiters are kind of bad at their job, but there’s so many desperate candidates that they don’t need to do much to get passable results.

A hiring manager told me when she fills a position, it automatically sends the email to the other candidates. It’s not a human touch.

Cool. Fuck Microsoft

We know he’s a monster and yet we do nothing to stop him. The laws are powerless. Simply shooting him is seen as gauche.

Arpgs do have a big random factor, but many have some element of crafting to offset it. Sometimes as small as slotting upgrade stuff (ie: gems) into armor, sometimes more involved. I’m pretty sure path of exile 1 had some depth to it, but I never went super hard. It’s one of the only free to play games that isn’t abusive, so it’s pretty low risk to try. I like the second game more, but it’s early access and has less stuff.

Monster Hunter

Any diablo-like. Path of exile, grim dawn, last epoch, etc.

Disgaea goes a little crazy with items and modifying them.

I don’t think we should let this guy just walk around. He’s clearly a danger to himself and others.

I mean, I imagine there’s still a window where you can ask for it for free, but you make an interesting point. For many people, it has lowered their cost of food. I’m not sure all of them could have found free food as easily.

Everyone who supported this bill is a climate criminal and should have a punishment proportional to poisoning every living person on the planet.

Her father said two of the three drinks she was accused of “stealing” were about to be thrown out.

Too many places throw out perfectly good food and that should be a crime.

There’s an app “too good to go” that lets you buy some discounted food at EOD, and there’s probably other similar things out there.

Where I used to work at a supermarket, I made friends with the deli guy and got a lot of food before it was thrown out. Management didn’t like it, of course.

I tip generously at my local bar and in return they sometimes give me free stuff. Got a whole sandwich recently.

“Our new policy is simple: If you, an American warrior entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it; you should. But we will not force you,” Hegseth said in April.

Hegseth is a profoundly stupid person who should not be entrusted to make any decisions. He should be removed from power to spend the rest of his obscured life cleaning up litter or something similarly useful.

That’s like several months of food. Or years worth of video games. That’s so expensive. Even if I was a big fan of the sport, I wouldn’t be able to justify spending that.
