Hating a minority is a theme showing up in politics, every time a society had a downturn.

Jews were scapegoats, they were generally seen as greedy and thrifty. So when the economy went to shit, the workers blamed an ethnic group associated with being successful business people.

The hate for Muslims went up a lot in the aftermath of the 08 crisis. Although the reasons for problems tends to be greed among the elites, they also tend to control the narrative. And will throw a minority under the bus to save themselves

I’m pretty confident Putin is the number one backer of immortality age reversal research globally.

He does all sorts of things, as is tradition among Russian Tzar’s, to halt his aging. The joke is the anti aging gurus tend to die before turning 70 and it has scared every Russian leader in history when they’ve observed that

There’s largely still above average working conditions for the people that do land a job in tech, but right now the job security is rather low.

The thing is, if you’re managing an important project. The companies want to pay extra, to ensure they’re having decent people hired and have their time if something breaks out of hours.

But remote hirers, do also factor regional factors into account. Most US companies okay with remote workers, will have payranges per state. Most European companies, have at least pay ranges per country. You’re getting paid more in Denmark than you’d be in Hungary as an example. To account for cost of living as well as local competition

If it’s an onsite position, it depends on living costs.

Some people are claiming 3k for rent is the minimum in the area. Just north of Beverly Hills.

That’s half the salary, just for a studio apartment. Then there’s another chunk for taxes and they’re left with 1-2k for general expenses and living life.

Salaries isn’t a simple thing you can move from one area to another

And the consistency required, especially for steaming.

Disappear for a month and lose 30% of your audience, it’s brutal

need to crowd fund a comedy statue that will get them loads of publicity?

Because it gives them loads more of publicity, also people loves to be involved if they have a chip in it.

Why do people buy subscriptions for the biggest streamers, earning 10s of thousands of dollars in ad revenue each month? Because they want to be a part of it, they want to chip in to let the show go on

People who are fucked by the status quo and wants something different… Erhn wait. Binface was on the ballot?

Yeah apparently 62% of Clacton just hates anything not British, so they can’t vote for a spacefaring warlord

If he does this he’ll be a fucking legend.

Imagine the PR show if Binface, Burnham and the manager of the Crown and Treaty Pub got that done

Garlic is an onion, other poster didn’t specify white onion

I used to work with a guy that’d make everyone laugh, and estimate tasks like he’d never get shit done.

He wasn’t the fastest developer, but his quality was alright. I’m pretty confident everyone else however got more shit done, simply because it was a lot nicer and calmer to work those projects.

Any large project needs the moral boosters, for smaller projects it’s a little more complicated

I’ve seen demos/open betas have become a lot more common in the past year. So I do wonder if that’s changing this paradigm a bit

If you have no marketing budget, then shipping keys to streamers. Like small streamers, with 10 concurrent viewers, they might actually install it and play the game.

That’s 10 more people exposed to the game. Now send out 10.000 of these keys, even if 1% that’d be 100 streamers, actually play it. That’s expose to 1000 people, if you’re lucky that’s 20 extra buyers - But it’s also buyers way more likely to leave a positive review, given they’ve already seen the gameplay loop before buying it.

The early reviews are incredibly important for Steam to determine whether or not it should boost visibility of the game

Given the health benefits brushing your teeth applies to your entire body, it’s an awful bad idea.

At the end of the day, when a person has to go to the hospital for a complicated procedure due to bad oral hygiene. The cost falls back on the entire society, even in the case of selfpaid hospitals - The capacity is strained a bit further, to help a preventable situation

It does make some menial tasks simpler, but if people think it will actually replace us then they’re in for a shock.

That’s the sales pitch, we’re in a job market drought right now. Give it a year or two and all the slop will begin breaking, making a new job market boom for developers

I think it would be a pretty good joke if they made the combat of the next souls game turn based. Still monstrously difficult, release the game on an April 1st and have the entire gaming subset of players switch their stances

The thing is contamination pollutes upwards, so if leafy greens have 1 mg of radiation per daily intake. The meat from herbivores would be something like ten times that amount and carnivores would be ten times the contamination of herbivores.

We’re seeing this effect with micro plastics and fish, the higher up in the food chain a fish is, the more micro plastics they have

The hunting equipment can be for other scenarios.

Financial systems breakdown, into full anarchy. I reckon a cabin in nowhere, hunting equipment and barn full of seeds would be pretty rad for that scenario.

But yeah, eating plants is better than eating animals when contamination is a risk

But in case of a radioactive catastrophe, how long would you need the bunker to last?

You didn’t state you like the Republicans nor the current version called MAGAs, so you’re certainly a leftist

I think the reason is as simple as flamboyant outfits being easily available.

Two hundred years ago, a flamboyant outfit indicated you did minimum manual work. As that’d destroy the drip, and it was also quite expensive. While commoners would wear often brown/grey work outfits.

It’s the same reasons for why it used to be in to be white/pale, as that indicated you’d stay inside all day rather than working the fields. Now it’s in to be tan, as that indicates you’re able to sunbath rather than work in an office all day long
