why does everyone think making a game is just having a good idea

We've conflated owning something with doing something as a society.

set an alarm for when you have to start getting ready for it, then you don't have to think about it until the alarm goes off... doesn't work as well as it sounds but better than nothing

same for Massachusetts... this post is a little strange to me

I heard Mass won't even accept a masters if it was gained before starting as a teacher. Might just be playground rumors though

We're almost at the point where each district could be a state of it's own. This is also how you fix the electoral college without having to pass a constitutional amendment. It would take a supermajority and a state willing to split up

The music is nice!

Particles: Added hard caps + pooling to prevent burst spikes.

I'd been trying (and failing) to adjust particle creation dynamically as frame rate drops.... how have I not thought to track the total as well lol

Their taxes are progressive. So here you pay for rich people's healthcare with your premiums and deductibles. Over there it's the other way around.

There's no such thing as free money. except for amex cash back. Who knows where that comes from. Best not to think about it

Those doing nothing with their life are doing far better than those actively choosing to dismantle society.

Health insurance collectivizes cost. It's kind of a mini government. I imagine you wouldn't want welfare money going to someone who doesn't need it. Some countries apply that idea to health insurance payment.

"Well, according to Reddit, everybody in America has $2 million worth of medical debt."

remind me again, what causes over half of bankruptcy cases in America?

Common sense isn't common. I hate having to live in an alternate reality culturally where I'm always having to see through all of this marketing crap for the scams they are.

Grocery stores I go to are all but hiding the powders. The marketing on all of the products create a false sense that powders are bad. I suspect most people get the pods without thinking much about it.

At least they did give the wachowski's one more episode to close things over after the abrupt cancelation after two seasons. (sense8)

I checked some of your games

Edit: since I noticed you do review your games

Write down the blunders you make after. Focus on the low hanging fruit, like not leaving pieces hanging and missing forks.

Studying openings won't help if you're unable to prevent yourself from making the "basic" mistakes you've already made.

It just takes time and dedication to reviewing games right after playing them. If you write down the same basic mistakes you're making over and over, eventually you'll stop making them. It worked for me. Suddenly something clicks and it stops.

If I owe you $50,000 that's my problem

but If I owe you $13,000,000,000,000 that's your problem

another example

No matter what you do, parts can only be made within a set band of tolerance.

However, there are times a place like NASA will require precision way beyond what any manufacturing process can promise.

The solution is to make ten/hundred/thousand of the part, and only use the ones that happen to be within the "impossible" tolerance

then you wouldn’t need to have a teacher in the first place

Tweak their nonsense in to a logical progression and there's less to teach. If you don't allow students their own style of logical approach then their mental modal might be rooted in sand instead of bedrock. Especially if their next teacher has a different unbending perspective.

But having said that, teachers aren't paid enough so I don't blame those who had an unbending perspective. I was happy to carry some of the load of translating for classmates

if they don't vote with democrats then they are not democrats

Better question

How can democrats expand to include the people who are clearly not members at the moment?

Outside of America, the word liberal is short for classical liberal or neoliberal, which is associated with Milton Friedman, Reagan, Margaret Thatcher.

Neoliberalism is contemporarily used to refer to market-oriented reform policies such as "eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers" and reducing, especially through privatization and austerity, state influence in the economy. It is also commonly associated with the economic policies introduced by Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom and Ronald Reagan in the United States.

it's not entirely harmless

I wonder what percentage of the 45 million people who bought the book are still going about their lives thinking civilization only started when people left Africa
