I'd say for a big org the priority isn't "not fucking up", it's not objecting. In a small growth org, despite severe rank differences, you're likely to have some impact on direction if you disagree. In a big or

Especially as more "elder scams" resort to tapping into their loneliness to encourage action, it's important families and communities pay more attention to this growing problem of elders attached to their screens.

An easier one stop shop alternative is just Notion. Recommend it for the reason of having an internal wiki/documentation. Probably one of the only real use cases for Notion, everything else (like personal note taking or time organizati

I did not claim we should go back to farm life or that it was perfect, only that these tasks were fulfilling. Are your tasks at work not fulfilling? Perhaps another hour long meeting will give you the same joy as turning your harvested crop

The choice for most humans wasn't "work or starve". Back then the concept of "work" didn't exist. You lived your life, you hunted and farmed for nourishment, these tasks while laborous were also incredibly fulf

We have all been sold a lie. The major regrets people give when they are near death, are all linked to work. They wish they had been a better more active parent, they wish they had spent more time with family and friends. Where do these peo

This level of fame paranoia is commonly talked about, but is also extremely hard to reach without actually trying and spending resources in regularly keeping your name in people's mouths. You can achieve a great level of wealth without

Were you paid for this comment? Or did you write it out of your own desire to convey what you are thinking? I wonder if the answer to these questions also resolves the unfounded idea that writers will stop writing when capitalism ceases to

They're in the business of pushing new features. This is why problems like this (and many others) will go unfixed for a long time. Long gone are the days of prioritizing fixes in Notion (which BTW their "performance fix" befo

That already exists, if all hell breaks loose for some reason you can talk to your credit card company and request that subscription be stopped. Asking for a new card does the same. Chargebacks also exist and is actually a handy way to get

Let's work with your assumptions, hopefully you can realize why they don't really make sense when it comes to consumer rights or healthy competition. So companies "will do everything they can to screw over the customer".

Mario Maker 2 and Game Builder Garage are great for getting into game creation (or at the very least level creation). Super intuitive as well. As for extending critical thinking, I feel puzzle based games are great at this like Captain Toad

You are right that multiplayer arena FPS with a vibrant community is a rarity now. I think the most popular one is Splitgate (sitting at ~600 players ingame on steam right now)[1]. Xonotic seems to be semi popular too but not on Steam if th
