I used Ink for a game I worked on (Tender: Creature Comforts). It’s pretty intuitive and very easy to learn, so if you have a kid who wants to give video game development a try, I’d really recommend this one. The entire game wasn’t coded in

1. I run a Discord server for people immigrating to Portugal. 2. Transparency in moderation is key. I have as few rules as possible and keep them as unambiguous as I can. This scales fine (I have moderated larger communities before). For my

What about federal jobs? The pay is definitely lower but it comes with amazing health insurance, you can stay for the rest of your career, move wherever you want, & they can’t really afford to be ageist—they don’t have enough candidates

I wish the author had called out some of the blockchain-based initiatives he’s seen. It’s frustrating to read an article that complains about a problem, acknowledges people are working on it, but doesn’t link to or explicitly name any of th

There’s absolutely a male equivalent. Almost every male “real estate professional” I know makes money mainly through nepotism. They do tend to have the same thing in common: flashy IG posts and the constant refrain of “work hard, play hard”

Google is awful. I worked at a company in a now-legal business with a YouTube channel from the not-as-legal days… it has incredibly unprofessional and embarrassing branded footage and there was nothing we were able to do to pull the channel

I believe so. When I was working in customer service, I had an English coworker. He said that the way customers treated us regularly would probably never have happened in England. Not once. Things haven’t gotten better since then.

The first sentence of the abstract is already incorrect—acne is not a disease unique to humans at all. I don’t have a full list of species that get acne, but I know that cats can get it (Sphinx cats are particularly prone to it! If the very

I think you put it really well. I’ve gotten to a place of financial stability and shave realized how precarious it still is. I can weather small car emergencies but when it comes to medical bills, that’s a different story. I’m just working

It depends on where. A few years ago, I lived in a falling-down house in a family neighborhood of mainly immigrants. There was a school a few blocks away, and kids used to come hang out in our trees (I’m pretty sure they thought the place w
