Yeah I was a little confused by reading this. I know several people who underwent dramatic weight loss but still had cheat days a few times a month, I don't really think that's uncommon. I mean I'm sure it slows your progress

I also take issue with how the article mentions that sleep is not a balance sheet, but doesn't really lay out that this was explicitly tested. They said the participants slept only five hours a night for weekdays. 8 hours is the genera

I think a lot of it has to do with the games being popular rather than violent, though I guess you could say in the current culture of gaming, violent games are more popular. For example, parts of the Pokemon community are extremely vitriol

You can still be responsible and give people disclosure while using a throw away. The benefit is you don't have to worry about people mining your entire post history to look for stuff they can use to draw negative conclusions about you

I love seeing these kinds of projects, but as someone who currents owns 2 pi 3s and one elgato that are all gathering dust, I hit the wall before actually starting a project because of that pesky "what would I even do with this" t

I agree with your point about the library. Maybe I'm just weird, but typically I'll read one, MAYBE two books at a time before moving on to another. Because of this, I really don't need the app to show me my library like this

Maybe I'm just heartless, but "I have to either move cities or switch to another field that I'm also qualified for" does not really sound like too bad of a deal to me. I mean yeah, it's a pain not to be able to keep

Also despite having a "record year", Activision/Blizzard's stock has dropped almost 50% from where it was in September 2018, which I think was at least started by the PR blunder that was the Diablo Immortal announcement.

I see that kind of attitude even on twitter and large subreddits. I don't think its specific to imageboards, in my experience it's just a very popular attitude/outlook among those currently in their late 20s/early 30s.

The poster responded to someone saying “why would anyone not want to unionize” by saying “some unions are shitty”, is that not reasonable? They aren’t even saying it’s a good reason, but a lot of people seem to have this idealistic view of

Yeah I'm not sure why the author chose that title, it makes you think its going to be a "pro-ride sharing/anti-traditional taxi" piece. I wonder if this is a click-bait strategy.

I was expecting a little more out of an article with a title like that, this piece is a lot of fluff that can be summarized as "be nice".
