Yeah, and hour long lunch is pretty long. Most people I know take less time than that to eat at a restaurant, let alone just grabbing your sandwich from the fridge.

Kind of weird looking at mine. I've got an old account that I don't use any more. It didn't show up in the list of similar accounts, and the list for this account and my old account were completely different.

It's basically a steam customer support lottery if it's been over 2 hours. Sometimes you get someone who actually reads the reason for refunding, but most of the time they just automatically deny it, even if the developer said the

I think my favorite part of a tutorial, even though it was a super small piece, was an older open-world game. At the start of the game, someone in a helicopter tells you to look up at them. Based on the direction you move the thumbstick, it

That's where the devs have to decide whether they're willing to sacrifice some realness for the sake of gameplay. The game director for Doom Eternal has been streaming the game and providing commentary on it, and he talked about h

For FPS games, "Boomer Shooter" is the common term because they're similar to the types of games "Boomers" played when they were kids.

It doesn't sound bad, but the EA paper is actually talking about a way to manipulate people into spending money. What they do is match you with lower ranked players after you've made a purchase, that way you feel like your purchas

You can't eat internet access, or use internet access for shelter or self-defense, so it's probably not important for a lot of people.

There's not much difference, and that's the problem. Mobile games are notorious for being asset flips and shovelware because being funded by ads means they don't have to worry about making something worth paying for. I imagin

Chemical weapons are banned because they kill indiscriminately, and it causes undue suffering compared to conventional weapons, not because you can mass produce them. Drones wouldn't have either of those issues.

Instead of thinking "We can't think of a less intrusive way, so deal with it", how about "We can't think of a less intrusive way, so let's not do it until we do".

I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and unless it's actually having a negative impact on your life, I wouldn't bother trying to get it treated. I saw a therapist because I was really struggling with college, like taking an hour

An underrated way to get out of your echo chamber is to actually talk to people in person. I lean fairly conservative, while my wife and her friends are very liberal. Whenever we happen to talk about political topics, most of the time we en

Everything about your comment is wrong. Police aren't required to arrest everyone that is committing a crime, so they can choose to let low-level drug dealers do what they want. Police also go out on patrol, that's what pro-active

I got the vaccine in the military, the needle isn't bad, it looks like a tiny lobster fork. The worst part about it is how the injection site turns into a dime-sized itchy blister that you can't scratch for a few days.

My experience has been similar to yours, with the addition that married people without children never wanted to go to the office. It was basically the best of both worlds; you aren't lonely, plus your spouse (usually) understands that

From what they wrote, it looks like they probably said something along the lines of "Hey, here's a location where they don't care if you are in an at risk group, you can just show up and get your vaccine." Considering it

If the rabbits aren't just staying in your yard, then I'd say you're being a bad neighbor. In my experience, the rabbits dig a bunch of holes, and leave piles of poop everywhere, even on porches and sidewalks. If you want to

I don't think it's as simple as feeling peer pressure to have a yard look the same. My backyard got out of control one year, and it quickly became a haven for mice, rabbits, snakes, turtles, crickets, mosquitoes, etc. All of that
