  • So their plan is to fix one accident at a time…

    Well how else would you do it?

  • I still want to go some day. Even if it is overly expensive, Akiba seems like such a cool town to experience.

  • I've heard Akihabara is a bit of an overpriced tech/gamer tourist trap, and that if you want to actually shop there are neighboring cities that are far cheaper.

  • The device connects to a Game Boy or portable CD player (yup, not a Nintendo DS or iPod — apparently the Pedisedate also transports you to 1996)

    I wonder if the writer realized that he would be transporting future readers to 2009 by referencing a DS and an iPod.

  • I kinda want to see this as a new speedrun category.

  • This is a really awesome article that explains the technical aspects in a way that makes sense to non-coders, without having to over simplify. I feel like this sort of writing should be much more appreciated. Also, the graphic at the top has no business being that good, this whole piece is a banger.

  • Keep in mind, the drivers for these apps often take these jobs because they can't hold down a normal job. Either due to disability, mental health, or just plain unemployable personality traits keep them from maintaining a normal 9-5. Many of these people can't find other work. They sign up for these apps because they don't have any boss to answer to, they don't have a schedule to follow, and they don't have any real rules that they need to adhere to.

  • Been playing a lot of The Finals lately. Normally my time would be spent in Destiny 2, but the current D2 season is gonna last for a looooong time, so I'm not in any hurry to grind it out just yet. But The Finals has absolutely blown me away so far. It can be buggy and unbalanced at times, but it's so damn fun. Demolishing an entire building to bury the cashout station in rubble and prevent a steal is so satisfying.

    Embark has also recently said that they've got a lot of updates in the works, so I'm really excited to see how Season 2 plays out.

  • Ahh, this is their "discredit the media" phase of fascism, I see.

  • It's not a matter of opinion, look up the definition of the word, chief.

  • They're not mutually exclusive. All of those are bizarre.

  • Okay, still not what "theme" means, tho. Maybe "skin" is the word you're looking for?

  • Not a puritan prude, but children shouldn't drink alcohol. I don't think that's really that hot of a take. There's a lot of science behind the damage alcohol causes to developing bodies, but hang onto them pearls, I guess.

  • Oh yeah that's right. I always forget that's a thing. That still seems so bizarre to me.

  • The majority of Gen Z isn't even old enough to get into a nightclub to begin with. Gen Z is currently 12-27. I'm bad at math, but isn't that something like only 40% of the generation that's 21+?

  • I disagree with the use of “theme”. It evokes a visual for me.

    That's on you, because the word "theme" does not mean "visual" at all.

  • No, because that directly supports Trump. That's hardly an apt comparison to talking about HP on an obscure website with no ads or links to Rowling whatsoever.

  • Because continuing to engage with her content is a form of endorsement of her viewpoints

    This is a pretty significant leap that doesn't seem realistic.
