It feels like companies like this eventually become vehicles for like 5 people to make lots of money. You can’t let go the guy making these mistakes - lining his pocket is the purpose of the company! It’d be ridiculous to fire him! Unless some of the other 4 people making money decide he’s keeping them from lining their pockets.

The vagueness of these posts get to me a bit. Do they like clean sheets cause they feel nice, or do they change their sheets in the middle of the night because they might’ve sweat on them and they can’t stop thinking about it? People use OCD too casually, but people also take someone talking about their illness, latch onto the part easiest to minimize, and run with it.

If you think you might have OCD, get diagnosed and get care if you can, but if that’s not possible, find some legitimate, useful advice from reputable sources.

If you can’t stop thinking that you’re probably faking, it doesn’t hurt people who have been diagnosed for you to take some books out of the library and find out if the advice helps you. In fact, it lets the library know those resources are in demand so they’ll be there for others, later.

It’s valuable for .ml to have duplicates since certain instances and numerous individuals are defederated from them. There are also people who are trying to diversify the fediverse by moving communities off .world. Big, opinionated communities like the different news communities are going to spawn new versions as people disagree with mod decisions or the background culture and feel they can’t have the conversations they want.

Some splitting is inevitable, imo, and healthy, though whether it’s good in this or that particular case is a useful conversation to have. Merging communities is also useful, but only when it makes sense (one is barely moderated or barely used, or people have defederated from an instance one is on because of spam, etc.)

I think it’s a case by case basis type situation.

Raft was kind of interesting, and chill if you turn off “sharks keep attacking for some reason” mode.

I watched someone play Satisfactory and they had a blast.

Dinkum was fun and not stressful, but the characters have big heads and it’s got some typical farming life sim elements that were inspired by harvest moon and animal crossing.

Is Coral Island too anime in style?

Modern quality of life upgrades make it so hard to go back. There was a harvest moon game i adored and i tried to replay it, but just changing tools was a pain.

I did get jumpscared by the Weiner name. He was such a disappointment.

I get reminded of this quote from their studio exec:

“You can say, ‘Okay, we are exploiting, you know, child labor,’ right? Or you can say: we are offering people anywhere in the world the capability to get a job, and even like an income,” Corazza said. “So I can be like, 15 years old, in Indonesia, living in a slum, and then now with just a laptop, I can create something, make money, and then sustain my life.”

When I read that quote a few weeks ago, I thought about how that’s the kind of argument people who travel abroad to rape kids use to justify themselves.

It feels related to this, somehow. Maybe something about how children are treated like a disposable resource or an object to be used unless the person who owns them (parents?) are powerful, well to do, white, etc, etc. And that’s because their owner is those things, so they’re valuable property. I’m not sure if I’m articulating myself well. Too much sun.

I wonder what song it was

We had an earthquake last year and my cat hissed at it. She did her best!

discussed this question with my same aged friend and we kept going through things and realizing they’d already been remade or being like “yeah it was great at the time but that time sure has passed”

They slow down and spread out in the heat. Their fur becomes tumbleweeds throughout the house. They can be okay at higher temperatures, barring issues like age, ability, kinds of noses that prevent proper panting, etc. Before i turn the ac on, sometimes i’ll see them spread out on the kitchen tile.

is this the actual group?

In response to the outcry, the president of the university’s students’ union, Muizz Olatunji, said on X that the university promoted “a dress-code policy aimed at maintaining a respectful and distraction-free environment, encouraging students to dress modestly and in line with the institution’s values”.

Who’s getting that distraction free environment? The lady who has no say in the matter getting groped before an exam?

And we were so proud of him for getting his certification!

Thanks for sharing! I’d only heard of dragonsweeper before.

Israel has stated that if Iran doesn’t stop defending itself, Tehran will burn. Is that what they meant? Iran’s nuclear-armed allies need to offer a nuclear umbrella to ensure this stays a fair fight. If they do, Israel’s reign of terror is over. If they don’t, this world is about to get fucking terrifying.

ah, shit

“The reports coming in from the [training officer] were not complimentary in Hardin’s favour,” former sergeant Mark Hanna told 40/29 News.

“This guy [was] using police training because he doesn’t want to be a good cop … he’s wanting to be a good criminal."

hmm…
