I'm in the Air force, and while not relevant to actual camouflage ability, I can personally say that OCPs look much nicer than the uniforms before. A lot of the old camo patterns looked painfully ugly. And the ability to camouflage i

People are going to be blaming TikTok, social media, or whatever else for this, but it's important to note that this is not a new phenomenon at all. Tuberculosis was fashionable during the Victorian era and shaped a lot of our modern b

One critique is this line in particular: >I’m so sorry I hurt your feelings. Please, do not say this. This comes off as dismissive and puts blame on the listener for being offended.

Interest rates are not a single set percent, they are in a range IIRC. So it's going from 1.5-1.75 to 2.25-2.5, a 75 basis point increase.

No I actually miss paying 60 dollars for a product, getting the entire product, using the product, and that being the end of it. The fact that you even begin to equate business success with how happy the games are making people is absolutel

In an unregulated capitalist system, supply increases to meet demand. In our regulated hellscape, it's impossible to build anything due to existing owners using the government to prevent supply increases.
