- Comment on After raising over $800 million from its community, Star Citizen's developer delays the release of a new ship upgrade as players baulk at having to pay for it 11 hours ago:
Imagine starting your career at the beginning of this game’s development, and after a third of your career, it’s still just in alphas.
- Comment on The world was a nicer place before the advent of leaf blowers 1 day ago:
Being in a tropical country, I imagine most/all of your trees are non-deciduous, as in they don’t lose all their leaves in autumn and then regrow in the spring? Imagine all the leaves drying up, falling off, and the mess is left all over the ground. Cleanup is a laborious effort. Leaf blowers speed up the process by blowing the leaves from trafficked locations and/or to more centralized locations that are easier to clean the debris. Helpful, noisy, and often environmentally unfriendly.

Well, that was a little terrifying

“Get paid doing something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life!” Yeah, it sounds great, and a small handful of people accomplish it. For most people, this advice will just ruin what they love by turning it into a job. My advice is to find something you don’t mind doing and it can pay the bills. I work with computers. I don’t love working with computers, but it’s fine, I like it. My hobbies get to continue being things I enjoy doing after work. I don’t recommend finding a passion to inspire you to work (or study, assuming you would plan to study something that would turn into a job qualification). Instead, find something that you merely like well enough but there is a demand for in the job market, and then use that to fund your future passions, long term goals, and some emergency savings.
Btw, I don’t think your attitudes are unusual for your age. Large percentages of students begin university as undeclared majors and/or aimlessly switch their declared major many times over. And if homemaking really is your thing, consider taking classes and looking at majors that focus on cooking, nutrition, interior design, art, personal (or even business) finance.

I read the headline and had one thought: let me guess, his job?

Must have been some darn fine curry.

Me llama Han Solo y quiero jugar videojuegos de Switch2. Además, no me gusta pagar Trumpiffs. Theoretically.

ELI5 smuggling a Switch2 over the Mexico or Canadian border. Not that I would recommend that or anything. For science. And fanfic.

Please please please

Last I saw, he moved back to the UK and was struggling to find a job. The sudden, unexpected lack of communication is certainly concerning.
- Comment on I'm gonna be really pissed if my chtistofascist parents were right 2 months ago:
I’m going to make a point here, and I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think I am. If America falls apart, I think it will be the first one, not the only one. The influence America exerts on much of the rest of the world is huge, and the pressures on many other nations to follow any collapse with one of their own would be difficult to stop. Not just influence culturally, but economically, including but not limited to agriculture. Removing the agricultural influence provided by America alone will be devastating for much of the world (including non-agrarian parts America).
- Comment on Why was Hitler so mean and hateful toward one group or another? I find it hard to believe he woke up one day and said you and you suck but these people over here are good. Taking it so far as killing? 3 months ago:
Adolph’s childhood would certainly be described by nobody as a good time. The one story I recall was him stripping naked to try and squeeze through the window bars in order to escape his father’s wrath, only to get stuck. He found the humiliation of his father’s laughter worse than the beating he was expecting.

Brilliant! Took me too long, but I’m on the same page now.
- Comment on Elon Musk uses cybertruck explosion to show Tesla can remotely unlock and monitor vehicles 4 months ago:
So, was entering the exploded vehicle an extreme difficulty without the remote unlock, then? Because I don’t think it was, exploded or not.
- Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 4 months ago:
I’ve just recently started playing through Wasteland 3. Been trying to start up Civ VI, but it appears as though Steam has broken it on my Mac, so I will need an alternative alternative. Maybe something from my Epic or GOG library, so my kids don’t leave me out of luck when they want to use the Steam library, too.

I’m sorry Dave, but I’m afraid I can’t do that, because I don’t recognize your face.
