If the position is anything like the chaplains I met in the military, being an atheist won't be an issue. They were pretty much counselors that were available for anyone who needed somebody outside the chain of command to talk to, and

I don't know how true it is, but one thing I've heard about artificial sweeteners is that your body thinks it's sugar, and will make your body feel hungrier because it expects it to have the same calories as regular sugar. I

Instead of having blanket lockdowns for everyone, reserve certain hours or days for at-risk people. A few of the stores near me, like Target and Wal-Mart, were closed from 7-9 am every day unless you were a senior citizen. That seems like a

I was watching a twitch streamer who lives in SF, and he told a story about a time he was walking down the sidewalk at night and saw a homeless person peeing on someone's car. He said there was a cop nearby that saw him doing it, but h

It's supposed to mean stuff like not asking for help when you need it, or being overly aggressive in social situations so you don't appear weak. FWIW I hate the term because it's become a catch-all for "things men do tha

Another thing I've started doing that works for me is removing a page from the history on my browser. It's easy to mindlessly browse something like reddit when I can just type 'r' and hit enter because the browser autoco

Then the rg3d author should remove you from the "Special Thanks" portion of the page. Rooting for one engine also doesn't mean that you have to lie about another engine not making any progress; it just makes rg3d look bad sin

You should probably disclose that you're somehow affiliated with RG3D if you're going to be putting down the efforts of other engine developers, especially when what you're saying is wrong. Bevy has only been out for a little

Not really. Doom Eternal was review bombed when they added Denuvo after it launched, to the point that it was removed pretty quickly. Valorant's kernel level anti-cheat was also complained about quite a bit. Maybe console gamers don&#x

"Designing Games" by Tynan Sylvester (creator of Rimworld), and "Game Feel" by Steve Swink, are both more recent books about high-level game design concepts, though they don't specifically focus on world building.

There's no way the average term of enlistment is 15 years. Very few people choose to re-enlist after their first term, or are even allowed to. In 2016, there were almost 200k Marines, and they were struggling to get 10k people to re-en

Nah, it was a wash. Senior military officials have been telling the president what needs to be done in Afghanistan since Bush was president, and they've been ignored by every administration. Afghanistan absolutely could have been &quot

It just makes for a shitty experience. I grew up in a blue-collar family and still dress that way, even though I'm firmly upper-middle class now. I took my wife to a high end mall for a her birthday one year, and when we were looking a

I think it's on a store-by-store basis. My grandfather works at a Wal-Mart in a small town with a large minority population and said they average 10-12K in merchandise stolen each month. The store is open 24 hours, but they still only

I'd say it depends on how many of those deaths are caused by the driver doing something unsafe. I'd be more comfortable with higher traffic deaths that primarily affect bad drivers than a lower number of deaths randomly spread acr

Might just be an issue with nearby pipes, and not something affecting the entire supply. When the municpal water pipes get cleaned around where I live, they put up signs saying that your water might be brown or rust colored for a few days,

It being a breeding ground for extremism was the reason. In order to stop the Soviets, we (the USA) pushed Afghan society towards religious extremism because it was the only way it was "acceptable" for Afghans to kill other Afghan

Worst part is, it didn't have to be a waste of time. The Bush administration half-assed it because they actually wanted to go to Iraq, and the Obama administration half-assed it because "bringing the troops home" was easy pol

I may be misremembering, but the biggest differences I remember between vi and vim as a semi-casual user is vi defaults to not supporting arrow keys, and doesn't tell you the mode it's in.

I think I had a run-in with one of those in Maryland. I hadn't been following the murder hornet story much since they seemed to be isolated to the PNW, but thought I saw one in my backyard earlier this year. I haven't seen one sin

You don't have to "what if" it, people have already looked into it. In "The Coddling of the American Mind" they cite studies showing that universities are more left-leaning than they've ever been.

My issue with "for black people" isn't that it's exclusionary against other races, but that it implies all black people are a culturally homogenous group. Just changing the description to "Netflix for black creators

"Netflix for black people" implies that the color of someone's skin determines so much about their personality that they need their own separate streaming service to watch shows on. I don't see how this is any improvemen

Proton is a bit of a double-edged sword for gaming on Linux. On the one hand, it makes a lot of games playable on Linux that weren't previously. On the other hand, some developers have said that since Proton works well enough, they&#x2

Because some people are claiming that they all work, and Valve is saying that they plan to have every game working with Proton by the time Steam Deck releases. I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen people point to the

Yeah, people are definitely trying to oversell how well gaming works on Linux, especially now that the Steam Deck is coming out. I've had games rated Platinum and Gold on protondb be completely unplayable due to graphical issues, or fa

Before the past year I would have agreed with you, but since Fauci admitted that they initially lied about masks not working because they wanted to save them for healthcare workers, I don't think he has much credibility.

Probably because the common mindset here is that anyone can make a mistake, and that the person who did it learned their lesson and will never do it again.

That's definitely true for my father. Over the past year he's seen media and government officials go from "masks are useless if you aren't sick" to "if you don't wear a mask you're risking the lives o
