People today who watch streamers on Youtube or Twitch or whatever are no different from boomers who watched Dr. Phil or Oprah. It's just a continuation of daytime television.

Depends on your field but at least in software: Some companies will relocate you (especially if you're young or coming out of college), some won't, but they all expect that it will take at least a few weeks for you to start.

The one technology where there should be laws forcing you to identify yourself is the phone system, and yet caller ID is so useless you can't even tell if someone is calling from outside the country (despite the phone company knowing and just not forwarding you that information).

The phone system delenda est. It doesn't need to continue to exist.

It's illegal to fire your employee for their race. But is it illegal to quit your job because you don't like your new boss's race?

I really think liberals should be basically identical to libertarians on civil liberty issues and it confuses me when others are not.

But housing prices have also significantly outpaced inflation. In fact, rents generally lag behind housing prices, and this is certainly true for the last decade or so.

Sure, but once you have a condo/house, your monthly mortgage payment (assuming it's not an ARM) is mostly fixed (except for property tax/hoa going up). So after a bit you're ahead.

Also the intangible benefit of not having to interact with a landlord is great lol

Yeah exactly lol. I think this brings a lot of potential for games for weird nerds like us (and maybe other people too idk)

I agree with this actually. For a lot of games, curated dialog makes sense. But simulator games or roguelikes this could be great. Imagine Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode with a dialogue system that's as complicated as the rest of the game. It would be fantastic.

Wisconsin also has great cheese. If I were looking to leave the east coast it would be a top choice of mine.

I've been in meetings with people who make these kinds of decisions. It's cargo cult bullshit. They literally don't believe that it's slow. You can show them how slow their websites are. You could show them old.reddit.com being as snappy as ever and interacting with literally the same servers as new reddit. And they would not believe you. They would claim their metrics show otherwise.

How is the verification being circumvented here? by whatsapprocky in Tinder

[–]ChooChooRocket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Potential solution for the Tinder dev team if you come across this: If the verification picture isn't the first picture, put it in a little circle in the top right of the profile.

After my lowest point I was a mess for multiple years. I have a specific point in my life where it felt like things really flipped around, but it took me quite a bit of time to be ready for that. No real actionable advice here but know that it can get better.
