Done!

Thanks. I always try to do both, because I know most won’t want to click off site and are happy to just chuckle at a screenshot, but a lot of people will always want the link.

Some more good ones:

Determine if the relationship is having a negative impact on you, then either 1) assess why it’s hurting you and if there’s anything to adjust about how you’re processing it, or 2) protect your mental health by setting up the boundaries that you need, cutting off as a last resort.

Be cautious about asking this online though. People are tribal about politics and have zero investment in your IRL relationships, so you may see lots of rationalizing of cutting off a lifelong friend, family member, spouse, etc without much nuance. Only you have the proper perspective to determine what you’d be sacrificing and if it’s a net positive.

The danger of a measles outbreak is especially scary if you have a baby, because they can’t even get this vaccination until 12 months old. Similar if you’re immunocompromised, I’m sure.

This is why herd immunity is so important.

I looked it up, and I think it’s nearly $5k…

Maybe if you’re mostly German, you learn to avoid wild hand gestures from a young age. Just to be safe, you know?

Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of decisions being made that I strongly disapprove of, but I just want to caution that we have a tendency to overwhelm online conversations and completely lose perspective.

Real life in the US is very different than it is presented online.

As Americans, we’re really good at airing out our political dirty laundry on the world stage, as well as taking every item in the news to its most extreme conclusion (especially in online circles that are too homogeneous in their political leanings).

I just try to cut through all the noise and keep perspective.

I didn’t until just now…

Think I should flag the post as NSFW?

Wise words, Mr. McTruth.

People were predicting this a while back as a way that reddit would make themselves more “advertiser-friendly”.

I also wonder if there were some legal concerns in those states that now require porn sites to check IDs.

Search for James Fridman. He’s been doing this bit for years, so there’s a lot of it.

I think you’re absolutely right. When these studios go public and start having pressure from shareholders, it starts the gradual decline in quality.

Goodwill with your playerbase doesn’t show up on a quarterly report, but without it your company is sunk.

It’s incredible that a company with the resources of Ubisoft couldn’t figure that out, even with people shouting it at them daily.

This makes me feel like there will be a large group of retro gamers who will prefer the artisan, human-made games of the past, but ultimately a younger gen audience that won’t know the difference or care.
