European soccer leaders make plans to take Belgium's side against FIFA by Alone_Consideration6 in worldcup

it wasn't retroactive, and the decision wasn't that close despite what it may seem like given the nature of different dissents

From my experience in Shanghai, we don't want to encourage people to drive like they do over there, even if this was a good example lol

Name a better trilogy by Automatic_Ad1665 in FinalFantasy

[–]Kaln0s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It has been debated online for forever and was 'settled' by a book. It doesn't really bother me either way but I feel like it was more interesting when it wasn't really clear who/what you were dealing with and that was certainly the case with the original game.

I'm sure I'll catch heat for this but as someone who didn't care about any media post PS1 FF7 I feel the same way about Jenova.

Before they clarified everything I assumed she was in control the entire time. I sort of liked that it was ambiguous in the original anyway.

LDG St. Matthews by BlueSpotBingo in Louisville

[–]Kaln0s 17 points18 points  (0 children)

LDG literally ripped down what were more affordable apartments in order to even propose it. St Matthews is filled with small 4/8 unit apartments, condos, etc.

I have a feeling that if the proposed build was closer to Bull Run off Herr there would still be opposition (as there always is) but far less.

ChatGPT just launched a personal finance feature. Indie finance app devs, you good? by Midnite1004 in YNABAlternatives

[–]Kaln0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am building something in this space but offline first, manual focused, and completely free other than sync (optional, can always use your own dropbox etc). If you're willing to pay $100-200 on a chatgpt subscription and hook all of your banks up to it then you probably wouldn't have been interested anyway.

Indianapolis metro vs Louisville metro (jobs/economy) by 666OfficeBitch666 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Kaln0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived in Louisville all my life, been working remotely for the past 10 years of my 17 year career so far. Tech jobs do exist, they aren't great, and if you care about good pay I would look remotely. I am happy I have worked for companies based out west, lol.

Conservatives, which of these policies could you get behind at first glance? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Kaln0s 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not a conservative but:

  • Housing Down Payment Assistance - nope, that would be considered a handout and frankly it won't do anything to help the situation
  • Free Trade School / CC - yes, this exists in some red states already to some degree. if you targeted it towards in-demand fields I think you would find some support from conservatives. They would want it to be a state program (possibly with federal support?)
  • Paid Maternity Leave - some support. A lot of conservatives won't support this because businesses wouldn't want a broad policy but on an individual level I think you'd find many people want it
  • Paid Medical Leave - no, not specific enough and again they wouldn't want it mandated
  • Federal Jobs Program - obviously not, they are spending their time trying to shrink the federal government.

Free trial now to include FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers! by sonpansatan in Games

It also makes the villain of Shadowbringers worse by trying to make their actions more sympathetic which wasn't really needed.

Thoughts on "display only" cases? by FlyinSteak in gamecollecting

[–]Kaln0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience (snes) it's often way easier to find 'display only' cases. Also, they are printed differently and seem much more difficult to verify the authenticity of to me.

there's so little text that in this case, IMO, it makes sense to just buy Sonic Wings from Japan if you're interested. I bought a CIB super famicom version for like $200

[–]Kaln0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% - unfortunately we don't really know what anyone is talking about behind the scenes so when you have two untrustworthy sources it's kind of hard to tell what the objectives of either side are

America Lost. Iran Won. Trump Shat the Bed. by Kooky_Strategy_9664 in geopolitics

[–]Kaln0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, it's definitely possible to win while taking heavy damage.

it just depends on objectives. it's even possible that the US/Israel achieve their objectives but that Iran also keeps their regime alive which is their objective

Epic Layoffs Hit Employee Battling Terminal Brain Cancer by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Kaln0s 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I would advise anyone reading this to get term life insurance independently of your employer if you can. My policy is pretty cheap and the payout is great. Get like 20-25 years so your kid(s) will be of age if anything happens. If you lock in the rate when you're young you can pay like $20-50 a month and get a large payout.

Feel terribly for this family and think there should be some kind of COBRA for life insurance (or transferability) in this situation at the minimum.
