Unemployment lasts a limited time, and this doesn't address the problems with hiring companies dragging their feet or having ghost jobs.

You're a presumptuous and unpleasant little person, aren't you?

Police should be held individually accountable

I don't think that kind of fudging makes for good DND. You could maybe remind the players that wizards cast spells earlier in the scene. But if you want something like that play a different system, or add a consistent house rule that's written down. Some games let you interrupt spell casters.

Huge anti-fan of ad hoc stuff in otherwise rules driven games.

That's like using a machine to lift weights at the gym for you.

or they think I’m challenging them in some way

Admittedly, there is a bit of

Them: "It works"

Me: "I don't believe you. Prove it"

that people might not like. But usually the people who take the most offense are the worst coders.

I don't understand why people dislike tests. They don't take that long and you need to check things anyway.

Well, I say that, and then I think of my coworkers that don't write tests and also push up code with syntax errors. Code that they clearly never even ran themselves.

I realized the other day that I don't have a solid count. A friend of mine revealed they have a document with a line item for everyone they've slept with and a brief summary.

I'd guess it could reasonably round to 100, though.

Still happily using Linux.

I did switch the DE to kde plasma because the cosmic desktop was giving games a lot of trouble. Opening in weird window sizes, mostly. I did some light trouble shooting but decided I didn't care that much about the desktop environment, so I installed the 2nd one.

Oh good. I thought Sony had their head up their ass and were going to do a PlayStation exclusive.

Meh trailer, but I'll probably pick up the game eventually. I didn't love the story changes in the second game, so I'm prepared to hate this ending. But maybe it'll be good!

I have wondered about that. What kind of range can you get DIY? I guess if you did fire something they could try to do physics to figure out where it came from, but you'd hopefully be long gone by then.

Several thousand hours in gw2. Really liked it.

I hope they keep the stuff I liked. Solo friendly but other people are around to casually join up or whatever. No level grinding. No gear grind.
