⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Alternative to Lasik — Without the Lasers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
That’s neat. I knew they had contacts that would temporarily shape the cornea and your vision would start out great and degrade through the day. “Programming” the cornea is pretty cool.

I don’t think I would get LASIK because of the risks, but I have been interested in the EVO ICL lens replacement. If this procedure ends up going retail, I will look into it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are drivers for food delivery apps so often listed wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Some of it is that you have to be a legal citizen or have a TIN, so people will use someone’s account to deliver under if they don’t have those.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do gangs that collect protection money actually do any protecting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
There are two types of this, those that pay voluntarily and those who are extorted. If you pay protection money to a gang voluntarily, it is like insurance. If your business has a problem, the gang will deal with it. If you are the extorted type, then you may be on your own and you still owe money. They may act on your behalf because of the disrespect of hitting a business they deal with.

Some businesses don’t so much pay protection money as they act as a money laundering node for the gangsters, so if your shop gets hit then their money gets hit and that is personal. These types are usually more affiliated or may be forced to launder.

Furniture glides/slides. They are plastic(Teflon?) plates with a foam pad that you put under the legs and it makes it easier and less damaging to slide furniture around.

Retractable castors are better, but can be in the way and aren’t the best aesthetic.

I don’t think so. If you are certain you don’t want kids now, great. Get the snip and don’t worry about nutting raw and deep(with the consent of your partner).

Worst case you can later get a reversal that has a detrimental effect to fertility the longer that you have had a vasectomy, which means you will just need to try more.

Alien abduction stories have a survivorship bias.

2/3 of our planet has a great place to drop test subjects that gave them the answers they wanted outside of fecal samples.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
They got together enough people to mass email, that is all it took.

Companies tend to multiply received responses to represent the total number of people who were to lazy to complain, so Visa and MasterCard saw 1,000 emails as 10,000,000 in their risk averse actions.

Now 4chan is pissed and have started their own mass email and phonecall campaign, so we shall see where this goes…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Last part of the last paragraph, we agree.

We need wage increases across the board, not importing new workers to fill roles at lower wages because we have plenty of workers that only need higher wages to fill those vacant roles.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
They are generally paid well over a living wage for a position that a citizen could occupy at a market wage that is even higher. Median tech job income is over $100k, twice the national average.

Hiring a citizen costs more, so profit chasing dictates hiring an immigrant that can be paid less than market rate. Hiring an immigrant under an H1-B not only is cheaper in wages, but also gives the company more power over the employee because they can fire that person and then they get deported for not being sponsored.

Hiring an H1-B at a cheaper rate also suppresses wages for citizens.

Unemployment in tech is like 3%, we don’t need H1-B visa for tech jobs. We don’t even need H1-Bs for the industries with the highest unemployment, they need to increase wages to attract the nearly 7 million unemployed in the US, and there are even more people that are underemployed or have given up because wages are too low across the board.

Adding mandated wage requirements would undermine the whole H1-B program, which is great. I don’t think we should allow H1-Bs for jobs that we have adequate domestic supply for and it should be a pain in the dick to get.

If CS tried to unionize, they would get replaced with AI and H1-Bs so fast at this point. They should have tried that like 20 years ago when they were in hot demand.

Microsoft fired 15,000 people in the last year, and applied for 14,000 H1-B visa.

They are cutting costs and improving productivity by taking advantage of people from other countries who have the threat of deportation hanging over their heads to keep them compliant.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does a guy become his most confident around women?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
They are just people. Once you understand that, it is no different than talking to a waiter.

Now, flirting with a woman, that is its own skill. You need to be able to treat them as just another person first.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not talking about armed security for ICE, it is stuff like mall security patrol as a uniformed officer or uniformed policed security for a highschool football game.

You wouldn’t be doing guard duty for Alligator Alcatraz, that is handled by on-duty people.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You don’t NEED military experience or a college degree to apply.

During the selection process extra points are awarded for military and degree. So you are at a disadvantage in being selected that trumps excellent test scores if you have neither.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You can’t just sign up to be ICE. They want you to be a LEO with 2 years experience before you apply to ICE. So you have like 4-6 months of training plus 2 years as a cop, plus 13 weeks for ICE training before you can do what you feel you must. They will prefer experienced LEO, so 5+ years of experience.

Just getting into LEO in most places requires you to have former military experience plus a college degree that is preferably related to law enforcement. If you have no Military experience and no degree, you are at a huge disadvantage in the hiring process regardless of your exam and interview results. Like out of 800 applicants for 5 spots, you wouldn’t be in the top 200.

Not to mention you could be tried and convicted with prejudice for leaks and you would have to carry out enforcement actions all the same.

You are better off voting for what you want. Flipping congress blue in the mid-terms would do more to further your beliefs than spending 3 years of your life to just be thrown in prison for longer than this administration is in office.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You are not considering the overtime, which is where LEO makes bank.

There are also off-hours work where you act as armed security. You would want to be deputized with state or county so you can wear those uniforms, for fairly obvious reasons in the current political climate. It doesn’t matter if you are actively undermining ICE, you are still ICE and will be treated as such.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda is allegedly working on ‘multiple Fallout games’, including Fallout 3 Remastered, teases report⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Realistically, you could experience all the game content in like 200 hours. Even faster if you know higher level players that can help you, which a lot of higher level players will help you. That is a lot of content without the limitations that purposefully slow progression down like you see in MMOs. Keep in mind that you don’t need the game subscription to play the game and don’t need to spend any money in the game to play and get the endgame content.

It isn’t until you are trying to grind out getting certain things that your playtime skyrockets, but that is true with a real MMO.

On the subject of the community and players helping players, the community is pretty great. I have dragged lower level players through the hardest part of the game and taken them from level 20(you can start the game at level 1 or 20) to over level 100(there is no max level) in an afternoon with no detriment to my enjoyment. I have given newer players thousands of scrap, hundreds of legendary mods, and hundreds of thousands of caps worth of item plans that you can on get with RNG grinds.

I am not exceptional, I am pretty typical for the high level players. Since we have “nothing left” to do in the game and understand the meta, pretty much everything has lost value. We will buy overpriced stuff for sale in player vendors just because we want to get rid of caps and it takes us minutes to go from 1k caps to the 40k cap limit due to the value of the “crap” we have in our stash. Some players can’t hit the cap limit in hundreds of hours of play. It could take you hours to get enough material to make 2k of ammo(that you can burn through in an hour) and we will give you 10k of that ammo or enough materials to make 10k and not even notice the loss because we know how to net gain ammo.

Compared to gacha games and actual MMOs, FO76 is far better in terms of cost in terms of time and money, also the community is very helpful to new players.
