Can someone explain to me how it's worse for a foreign government to have your information than your own government having that same information? Your own government is far more likely to actually be able to do something about you.
Also, when fleeing Earth, they don’t try to solve issues. They just set up new corporations doing the exact same stuff in other places. When the game presents a problem where taking down a CEO would be one of the best possible outcomes, it isn’t an option. Literally everything you do in the game is maintaining the status-quo of the modern world, despite it being the source of so many issues in the game. You can’t change anything and no one wants to either.
That sounds pretty realistic to me. I'm not sure if it's intentional, but this counts as a commentary on our social situation. Probably doesn't make for a compelling game, though.
Then he was like “wait really? You lost 30 pounds just by changing what you eat?” I was like yep that’s all it took.
It's shocking how many calories are in food and how much exercise it takes just to work that off. The easiest weight to lose is the weight you don't gain.
I guess it depends on the local job market and the type of company. I saw free coffee at the smaller companies around here, but the larger companies didn't offer it (at least not by the time I started working). It blows my mind that they'd cheap out on coffee when it's a productivity booster. Well, if they want to be petty with saving a buck, so can I. I'll be catching up on sleep at the office.
You'll find that most people don't have strong convictions in their politics. People here were incredulous that undecided voters could exist even on election day, but it turns out to be more common than what someone who spends so much time discussing politics online would think.
It's a common strategy used to distract from the core issues. It's like when supporters of israel go "but do you condemn hamas?!" or "oh, I notice you don't criticize hamas as much (therefore you must support them)"
Ah yes, but you do not fear .ml, you only bring it up all the time and demand it be blocked for everyone on .world because...? You can just block it yourself, putting it in spongebob case doesn't make that point invalid.
You get free coffee? We have to buy our own machine and run a "coffee club" to pitch in for ongoing costs. I opt to instead nod off at my desk. I don't even care that it's an open office and that people can see me.
Anything is more affordable than nvidia's jacked up prices. The key will be whether it provides enough performance for the difference in price to be worth it. I'm not interested in paying about half a thousand dollars for a single part either way.
Right, it's assuming he keeps that particular promise, but it was a proposal so seemingly popular that Harris's team adopted a version of it but with restrictions on what kind of tips would be exempt (I think it was restricted to waitstaff or something along those lines). Trump's version is so much more open to abuse that it could be used as a sort of wink wink nudge nudge way to avoid taxes if you simply agreed to pay in part as a "tip". Given the popularity among those who rely on tips to live and also the rich who can find ways to use it intentionally to avoid taxes, I feel like it's not impossible that Trump would actually go through with it.
Wasn't trump talking about making tips tax-free? It's only going to make the problem a lot worse. Maybe the problem getting so bad will reach a breaking point and we're seeing some of the effects of this aggressive push to shove tipping everywhere now.

Okay, what is China going to do about me calling their president winnie the pooh or bringing up tiananmen square or whatever?
