That’s the background of it but the show really doesn’t touch on it any more that establishing it as a premise and motivation. Almost none of the show actually depicts his treatment or paying the bills.

Planetside 2 is incredible for facilitating “greatest gaming high” moments.
I just hopped back in a few weeks ago after probably six or seven years, and it’s still an absolute blast when the population is high enough.
Amazing game. Sad it’s falling off, but glad there are still at least occasionally enough players to enjoy it as it was meant to he enjoyed

Vote right? Transphobic.
That is correct.

That’s what makes it so fucked up, like we were really eager to feel validated that we let it come from insincere, weaponized places, and that’s kinda the point of it
- Comment on Simpler times? 1 week ago:
reminds me when I was in fifth or six grade and two girls a grade or two older than me would constantly find me in the hallways between classes, corner me, and either start hitting on me, or say flirty shit about me to each other just loud enough for me to hear but quiet enough that it left me wondering if they were doing it intentionally.
I didn’t like it and I wanted it to stop, but I remember feeling really conflicted about wanting to do anything about it because it was also kinda validating at the same time, and I was definitely a weird kid that needed validation at the time. Honestly can’t remember too much more about it, genuinely not sure if I spoke up or not at this point.
But to this day if I hear some people speaking to each other in hushed tones and giggling and shit, it can still bring me back to that feeling of not being sure if some other people are talking about and laughing at me.

I don’t like this.
In fact, I will go so far as to say I dislike this.
Shame and dishonor.

- Comment on New Tech Channel by Ex-Tech Tips Employee (Alex) 1 week ago:
He never said anything about being anti union.
What he said was that if his workers felt the need to unionize then he had done something very wrong.
I don’t understand how you think these two sentences are consistent with each other.
- Comment on Can you please help me pick a gaming desktop for my son that can run Monster Hunter Wilds? 1 week ago:
If you can afford option 2 go with option 2. That CPU especially is so much better, on top of the video card improvement.
Wilds specifically is poorly engineered, just look at the Steam reviews. If that’s the main game he wants to play, every little bit helps make it run slightly less awfully, but also other demanding games will benefit as well

I remember the Commodore 64 version being a lot of fun and having (as many C64 games did) great music on top of it.
No idea about the NES version tho

- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 3 weeks ago:
Some music gear that I haven’t really used at all, and don’t feel particularly inclined to lean in and really figure out how to use. like a drum machine (arturia drumbrute impact) and a sequencer thingy (arturia beatstep pro). I could sell both of those and not feel like I’ll ever miss them.
Watch collection is pretty dumb and I really only ever wear one of them anyways. But damnit, they’re neat, and I enjoy rebelling against smartwatches.
Arguably, purchasing a custom ordered Taycan wagon with nearly all the options. BUT, car depreciation only matters when selling, and no other cars out there tick all the boxes for me like the Taycan does, so I’m okay with it

Cool site but sadly the link for “Learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) determine how you best learn” being debunked is both dead and missing from archive.org
I’d really like to know more since I’ve very recently been learning about very similar processing modalities for ADHD brains
Still, cool site and resource!

I’d argue it is worth it because that $300 still came from the employer who laid you off in the first place.
I get it tho, that’s not very motivating when you’ve got all the other bullshit around layoff and job searching to deal with

That’s false, you should have gotten both. I got severance AND unemployment.
- Comment on Has this happened to you? 3 weeks ago:
Yep. The invite was sent at nighttime the previous day so I didn’t even show up for it. Manager had to ping me on slack to get me into the meeting to get laid off while I was still in bed slowly waking up that morning.
And I was so completely done with that company that I just broke out in laughter as soon as the call ended. Couldn’t have worked out better for me.
