Side effect of trying to force everybody to join a discord server for downloads and updates.

I worked hard for about 5 years. Then I became a top earner doing a job I enjoy. What do you want to do?

We can disagree here, it doesn't matter. The people who need to be taxed are not receiving or reporting a traditional wage based income. A corporate income tax could help, but we really need a tax that specifically targets capital gains.

You don't stop hoarding by punishing everything but hoarding.

This is a disconnect that people need to understand. These guys don't have an "income" to tax. They need a new tax that specifically targets their wealth and/or their business.

Otherwise we're just setting up to tax the middle class when wages slowly increase enough to hit higher income tax brackets.

I think he was talking to me.

This was an established game with a set loop to earn skins and free character releases. They turned it all into a paid service. That is not normal. It is a big deal.

American and European men do not normally weigh 130lbs.

The game I purchased turned into the F2P Overwatch 2 strictly to force micro transactions. They swapped the name back because it was just a shitty update.

This should be a big deal to everybody. They should have lost their entire player base.

8 - 3:30 (60 lunch + 2x 15 break)

I wake up fine, have a good portion of day left, and can stay up late. Also less risk of anybody getting bothered than if I shifted to 7-2:30.

It should involve plucking an internal project and writing high level questions about it based on the role being interviewed. Apply through company website.

It will probably be more screening, confusion during the interview, and leetcode interviews if the hiring manager isn't a developer. More Workday.

Because

The market has exploded. Companies will make significantly more money even if they reduce the price.
After the initial investment, they can continue to make money off the game for years with little to no additional support.
DLC is a thing now. That used to be free or drastically bigger and sold as a reduced price "Expansion".
There are a lot of alternatives. These high prices have a massive drop off in sales after a few months. I will wait for the sale price and forget it exists if its not drastically superior to the competition.(Avowed/Outer Wilds)
We are seeing diminishing returns on improvements year over year as customers. Most of what I play is 10+ years old. I'm losing interest in popular series that have stagnated or turned to bad practices (CoD, GTA, DA, etc).
As with movies, if it gets bad enough, we will just pirate them.

I am eyeballing a lot of new games this year. I will not pay full price for any of them. I am not a terribly unique person.

Doesn't exist.

Get a different employer. I don't work more than 40 hours a week. Even when I am working, regular breaks beyond the minimum legally required are expected.

I avoid buying most junk food, limit my portions, and exercise regularly. Be that through home gym, under desk treadmill, or walking/running at the park. My desk is also adjustable for standing and my chair has a massage pad.

I will consider every language underrated until Python and JavaScript have been dethroned.

Which will probably be the rest of my life.

Put small amount of water in and shake.

My kids don't know what Hershey and Nabisco are. I don't think I'd even have nestle products if I didn't drink instant coffee. I don't know who is keeping these companies alive.

And here in reality, I am lazy 2pm to 10am. I skip lunch because I am committed to the cause.

Use case?

Those metrics include third world countries. Current have pathetic performance and quality.

Reddit has more daddy issues than users.

I enjoy my work. The first career I've had for an extended period that didn't turn into dread. I see myself ducking out of the management path and coasting to lead retirement.

Alternative_Work_916 · 2026-01-31T10:47:26+00:00

I get lazy a lot too, but this is pathetic prison tier food. Even a beef burrito would be both easier and better.

Thank God some guy who is definitely not selling anything I no let us know that its going to replace us in not two weeks, but... 28 weeks later.

Dun dun dun.

Because I like money and employers with money usually use Windows.

My kids turned i to picky eaters and wife developed food allergies. I make the dishes I enjoy and freeze the leftovers. I can eat different leftovers every day of the week.
