  • Would you rather stop playing a game than lower the difficulty? The First Berserker: Khazan devs reckon you would

    Jump

  • I don't mind strategic combat (I play Civ, BG3 on harder difficulties) but I hate grinding combat and play those games on easy.

    What that means is I don't play walking simulators. If I'm railroaded into a story, the combat better be damn good or I'm refunding the game or at best uninstalling it. I'd rather pay $100 for something like the outer worlds with a really interactive and replayable story than $20 for something like greedfall where it's just a tv show with spamming buttons every so often.

  • AI is doing job interviews now—but candidates say they'd rather risk staying unemployed than talk to another robot

    Jump

  • I mean I did the same when I was applying for grad jobs... if they used HireVue then I'd just send an email withdrawing my candidacy and explaining why.

    It's just that they took the fact that people would rather spend a couple of extra months unemployed while jobhunting than engaging with shitty processes and systems, and didn't specify that it's only temporary unemployment. That's pretty standard for a headline, they're all clickbait by design, but this one definitely stays on the reasonable side.

  • Is it normal feeling tired 2 days in a row, possibly 3, after catching a cold?

    Jump

  • When I get ill, sometimes I sleep for 18h straight, through alarms and everything...

    You sleep more when you're ill anyway, but what wakes you up about outdoors is light. It's much darker inside than out by a way more than you'd think, so that's probably why you feel awake when outside.

  • You wanted the secret to getting rich? Here it is

    Jump

  • The $1m isn't in cash... You forget that the average house price in London is around $900k, and for Sydney it's $981k.

    That means your pool for your car, furnishings, investments etc. are either minimal, or you have a mortgage, and definitely can't live passively off $30-40k per year unless you're living in cheaper than average housing (one would call this "not super wealthy") and definitely not if you're supporting a family.

    I'm not saying the cost of living isn't worse in the US, just that $1m is a comparatively tiny amount everywhere and that most millionaires (as there will a correlation between net worth and frequency) are frankly closer to the working class than they are to billionaires.

  • You wanted the secret to getting rich? Here it is

    Jump

  • Most, sure, but Europe, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and more are still a significant part of the world where $1M puts you firmly in the same "well-off and comfortable, but certainly not rich in the way billionaires are" territory you'd be in the US

    Worldwide, I think it's definitely safe to say most millionaires' lifestyles are much closer to average than they are to billionaires' (ie still having to make regular payments for housing, but mortgage rather than rent, and still having to perform most tasks for themselves rather than having PAs to do it for them)

  • Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming

    Jump

  • Would it though?

    If the requirement is "worth paying 50% more for than the average worker" then instead of picking someone worse for cheaper at random then you're making sure that only jobs where there likely isn't an adequate supply for due to how bell curves work,

    What's the truth on a woman being out of a man's league?

    Jump

  • Confidence is the biggest part, but looks count for something. A "10" with no confidence will be less attractive to the majority of people than a "5" with high confidence, but there becomes a point at which people aren't even willing to hear you out.

    Jump

  • The H1-B visa is fundamentally broken (or working exactly as intended, depending on how you look at it) though, so you apply for just under 10x as many as you need and end up with the number you want.

    It's not Microsoft's fault the US Government is actively encouraging importing cheaper, average employees by using a lottery rather than filtering based on "you must earn n% more than the median income in that sector" or a similar metric to avoid reducing wages for Americans and companies using them to cut costs...

    Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes?

  • There's no need to instantly hate on Christianity without further context. If you're going to one of the cultish hate-spreading or profit-driven churches, sure, but there are also many community-focused denominations which are good to go to as a place you'll be welcomed at a low point in your life. I don't attend any and am not particularly religious, but I imagine if I felt truly alone and had nowhere else to turn that an Episcopal/Methodist/similar church would be quite high on the list of physical places it'd be good to go.

  • Meta Takes Hard Line Against Europe's AI Rules

    Jump

  • That's one interpretation and implementation of free speech. The EU define it as "freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers." which would be very easy to argue includes public authorities altering the legality of receiving and/or imparting information via AI.

  • Why do people hate coldplay?

    Jump

  • They're popular because they're broadly appealing and inoffensive, so for people who are passionate about music they're likely comparatively boring, whereas people who don't really care about music aren't going to go out of their way to support or defend them.

  • EU bans Czech Republic from importing oil from Russia

  • Definitely not British!

  • One of three:

    • People whose cultures didn't value them/were disconnected from the original creators eg. Egypt
    • People who ran empires and were just going to destroy them for a new palace or something anyway eg. Ottomans in Greece
    • People who were forced to give them up in the face of a much stronger miltary power eg. a lot of the Chinese & Indian stuff

    I don't think there's anything unethical about keeping 1 and 2 as they wouldn't exist otherwise, but 3 should be returned and replaced with other items from the collection or replicas

  • What old technology are you surprised is still in use today?

    Jump

  • Very good point, but oxygen is very abundant and you'll more than likely already have oxygen generators with a level of redundancy, or be in an atmosphere with oxygen.

    Also for load balancing you could constantly be splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, then react them back into water when you need a large amount of energy at once as an alternative to electrical batteries which degrades less over time, if heat is all you want at least.

    All I'm saying is there's so many applications that we're never going to get to a level of 0.

  • The problem is time.

    You're just considering human spaceflight. Keeping humans alive and equally importantly sane for years is very different to sending a probe somewhere, and we've been getting better at the latter

  • Jeremy Corbyn confirms new ‘socialist alternative’ before next election to fight Starmer

    Jump

  • The Greens also have a terrible name, they're a left wing party that don't particularly care about environmental issues. Meanwhile the Lib Dems just stand for whatever the government doesn't, which changes depending on who's in power.
