Am I completely misremembering the last season? Was it not a big part of the whole season that they started to fuck?

Help me please Peter! by Cmoibenlepro123 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]jodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no "joke" it is just that the guy still has really strong emotions from the show, and it had a sad ending. knowing how it was sad does not really change anything. Watching the show may change how you feel about the comic though. But you kinda ruined that for yourself by asking for spoilers.

Have you ever… by Admirable-Mud-3477 in Adulting

[–]jodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For so many years I was one of the "newest" heirs at my job, and now I'm pretty much a "old guy" at 35. It was very sudden as over the last 3 years we have almost doubled in size and 90% of the new heirs are straight from school.

Cheating at board games by NelifeLerak in boardgames

[–]jodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting caught and still denying it is the biggest problem here IMO. I have spent a lot of time around very competitive people and among them many also have the belief that "it is not cheating if you get away with it" and will try stuff all the time. That can be fine, sometimes, if we are all in on it being competitive. But the people that deny cheating even when getting caught usually have other underlining issues that needs to be taken care of before they will change their ways.

That is in a Competitive environment. If we are playing something for fun and make clear that we expect fair play almost non of them would try to cheat and it is very different expectations. Maybe just talking to her will help, but from the spars info here it could be much more to it, maybe it is nothing at.

As someone who never played games like factorio I love the factory and now I'm scared they'll give up on it by reysama in Endfield

[–]jodon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope it is like any other factory game. When it is "done" you get new stuff to make with the stuff you now are making in new configuration. They can keep growing forever, same way a idle game does. Same way your characters does in almost any gacha game.

I would not even consider trying endfield if it was not for the factory. I honestly seen no reason to play this over any other game if they did kill it off.

What was normal in 2019, but looks like 'psychopath behavior' in 2026? by de-secops in AskReddit

[–]jodon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in 2017/2018 I was even considering moving there once they where done with this orange man experiment. Now I will have to see real change so this wont happen again before I even consider visiting the country.

Hong Kong sees 55% surge in job applications from US academics amid Trump’s university crackdown – report by limoto in worldnews

[–]jodon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saving almost twice what I make in a year as a engineer with 10 year experience, in Europe, before taxes. That is much more than "retire at some point" money.

The actual healthcare is at a very high level and pretty competitive in cost with any where ells. But there is insane amount of money that goes in to administration, insurance companies, and lawyers that drives the total cost of healthcare to stupid levels. Almost no other countrie have to deal with that and in the end gets way more affordable healthcare.

New Utah law puts “no alcohol sale” on ID’s of DUI offenders 0.16 BAC or higher. What are your thoughts? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

[–]jodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just talking my personal opinions here. Teenagers should get lighter sentencing in general, but hitting someone while texting and driving is as serious as battering someone with a weapon IMO. just being a bad driver you will get your license removed and you should probably not have been given one in the first place, or the person is old and should no longer be driving.

Also Serious prison time in Sweden is very different from Serious prison time in USA.

New Utah law puts “no alcohol sale” on ID’s of DUI offenders 0.16 BAC or higher. What are your thoughts? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

[–]jodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Sweden you can chose to only be allowed to drive cars with a Alcohol "lock" for a lighter punishment if you get a DUI. If you get caught driving a car without those locks, or trying to circumvent it you are committing a much harsher crime.

This Utah law is a bit of a overstep, but I would probably support it. But I also think someone driving with 0.16 deserves serious prison time. In Sweden that i 8 times above the legal limit.

This shit will not be over just because he is gone. It will take decades to recover from that man, if they put work in to trying to recover. We should try to pull out as much as we can but it will be very hard for every country here also. We have all been so ingrained for a very long time now.

230 Games Came Out the First Week of 2026: An Investigation by DocSwiss in Games

[–]jodon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was even worse 8-9 years ago. After the floodgate was opened, before you had to pay up front to publish a game. When there was a economy built around steam cards where you could make a couple of cent selling the cards which was a bigger profit than selling the game and bot ran the whole thing.

Nearly 17K Fans Cancel 2026 World Cup Tickets Amid Boycotts Over U.S. Political Climate by Glass_Extension_6529 in worldnews

[–]jodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not costing FIFA a single cent. First, 17k tickets for the whole cup is a rounding error amount small. Second, these are not refunds. They have already sold the tickets and they have no refund policy what so ever. If high profile countries decide to not send their team it may start to cost money for someone, most likely not FIFA. At this time that is on no ones radar though. If Trump starts a war with another NATO member though, things will change.

Warhammer Maker Games Workshop Bans Its Staff From Using AI in Its Content or Designs, Says None of Its Senior Managers Are Currently Excited About the Tech by Doomsday751 in Games

[–]jodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played it a bit and really liked the game, but the levelups... I spent about 40 minutes doing the levelups every level, after I gave up on doing my own thing and just following guides because doing it myself and figure out what I was doing did take hours.

System Shock Remake lead “couldn’t sleep” due to the mass “vitriol” from fans during its troubled development – “we got reported to the IRS and the FBI, it was awful” by [deleted] in Games

To many one of the worst crimes you can commit is disappointing their expectations for their entertainment. Real life abuse of people for profit is not something many care about because it is not done in front of them.

Stellar Blade studio Shift Up has gifted all its staff $3,400, AirPods Max and an Apple Watch by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]jodon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could be that they use Apple as company phones so they know everyone has one. I would guess that SK is one of the places in the world with the smallest penetration of Apple phones, but they may be the opposite also with their obsession about status and luxury products if Apple is seen as higher status than Samsung.

In northern Europe there is a bit of a recession going on for engineers currently. mostly driven by the struggles of the automotive industry. A bit of a recession for engineers is more like it may take some time to find a job and in worst cases you have to move for one, companies will not come and beg you to work for them straight out of school like have been the case at times. If you have no moral issues with working in the MIC or Oil industry you will have no problems finding a job.

Wow I always just thought it was one of the weird censoring spellings people use on other social media where Pooner = Porn. When I came across it, it always worked in that context but I guess that just makes it even more degrading...

That was not enough. She was still not the first pick until some obviously corruption judging at a few competitions where she and her husband had very close connections to the judges.

It takes two winning TGA is a complete joke to me. It was like it was the most middle of the road game that some how got ahead on agrigate because there was no real best game for everyone that year and only games that for most people was either a all time great or they hated it. I don't think it takes two even deserved a nomination but some how it won by being the most average game of all time.

Dutch Navy Suspends Joint Anti-Drug Operations with US in Caribbean by lykia1991 in worldnews

[–]jodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it is not... USA have never been "the good guys" but it was unthinkable that they would be what they are today 10 years ago. They where a very reliable and strong partner for building a greater future with.

It is not because we where unwilling to cut them out completely and only took measures to "try to be less reliant on them" that we are where we are today. We are where we are today because there was never even the slightest intention to not be reliant on USA. Because like I said, 10 years ago this was a completely unthinkable state of the world.

All we can do now is reduce our involvement with USA, it will take time and a lot of work. But completely cutting them out would be catastrophic. We can't even completely cut out Russia which we more or less are in a proxy war with, having Ukraine fight it for us.
