While you’re completely correct, the cost of living in America is also much higher than than the world median.
What we really should be looking at is the ratio of pay : cost of living but raw salary is just easier for the masses to see and be mad about.
As an example, 3.5k USD is about my monthly bills.
Seriously, I ordered a steam controller right before they were discontinued, and got a refund :(
That’s kinda where I was sitting when I got the dlc. I had played thousands of hours and was moving my way into factorio and satisfactory. I bought biotech bc I loved rimworld, but I’ve not even finished an entire playthrough since.
Early 20’s here with 65y/o parents 👋
Even more so, it’s turned into a hot button topic where people will be actively pissed of at you if you try to bring it up in discussion, calling it a “dog whistle” for nazi / anti-women ideology.
I agree that live games are a problem, and helldivers 1 had an offline option, but Helldiver’s 2 being always online is better executed than any other live games I’ve seen. And, their servers have been needed up significantly since Friday.
Why are companies allowed to prioritize immediate money over literally everything, but when an employee does it suddenly “work isn’t all about money”
We’re a long way off from iron man type shit, but yeah this is the path to getting there. It’ll probably take decades but hopefully we can iron out the kinks and inconveniences to not so much “solve” problems vs normal screens, but elevate our ease of access and capabilities.
“when they think you’re gross”
How can I know if someone thinks I’m gross if I haven’t spoken to them yet? I should just assume I’m gross, always?
That’s funny, I saw that first comment by toiute in the wild and thought it was really strange. Lemmy seems like such a waste of time as a platform to promote scams. Very low population (relative to other social media) and a mostly tech-savvy crowd.
Good work! Glad to know
Aw nice 👍
Does anyone have links to their videos? News sites never actually post sources :(
They could worry about regulating the industry to prevent exploitation and trafficking, but God knows they’ll keep their hands out of that
Is it Linux only? What an interesting change of pace, if so
Edit: DDA, I mean
Fair, and that would probably work just fine at my current job, but I was working at a gas station and 19 years old. Very seldom would a gas station manager let an employee leave without feeling very entitled to an explanation.
I once clocked into work, and promptly shit my pants because I trusted a fart.
I immediately called my manager and just said “hey I just shit my pants, I’m going to go home and clean up”
She was so flabbergasted with my direct honesty, it was beautiful. Own it, people! We’ve all done it and the only embarrassing part comes from within!
I think OSINT, Open-source intelligence, would be more akin to trolling on social media. They’re the ones who crawl through Instagram and shit to ID Russian soldiers locations when they post selfies and the likes.
Fortnight absolutely kicked off the battle Royale phase of recent years. PUBG was coming into it’s own at the same time, but is a more hardcore experience so it didn’t get the viral boom. Fortnight being free to play and fairly casual put wind in it’s sails like Minecraft had, every kid everywhere played it.
When I get deja vu, it feels to me like I’ve dreamt of whatever is happening before, I’ve always pretty easily been able to say “oh it’s just deja vu” and move on.
But once, I woke up and told my wife about a strange dream involving very specific details of a situation with me and my brother. Along the lines of my brother throwing a beer can, it bounced off the trash can, bounced off me, then back into the trash can.
A few days later, my brother did exactly that. I was dumbstruck, even my wife was like “what the hell”
I mean everyone added together, mortgage, car payment, various insurance premiums, utilities, groceries, etc
My mortgage is $1200 of that, though.
