- Comment on Stardew Valley Creator Says 1.7 Update Will Contain 'More Character/Social Stuff' and a New Farm Type 2 days ago:
Proof that (good) games don’t need free to play to be supported over time. Can just have people pay the upfront price and keep rolling.
I do hope their finances are in the greens to keep going.

A culture that doesn’t appreciate food allows it to happen slowly.

Group fitness classes also play their music way too loud. Had to get some ear plugs when going to them. I am concerned for the trainers and regulars.

My two main fluent languages are not gendered. It was such a weird concept when I started to learn French.

I’m a 5.
Probably why I prefer graphic novels and was not really into textual books that much. I wish I could play a whole movie in my head while reading a book. I’m so jealous.
My dreams are super vivid though, and lucid dream often. And I remember my dreams in heavy detail. My dreams are like a 1 or 2.

You have an end point that’s pretty close, and that’s great! If you know that your load will lighten up after, keep at it.
Rely on your partner and friends for connection and help you through it. Be frank about your feelings. The people who turn to alcohol and adultery because of stress are the people that have been unfortunately told to keep it in and shoulder everything on their own, or unfortunately don’t have support. Find support and healthy outlets rather than turning to destructive substances or actions that are hard to take back.
You can do it!

Is the extra hours needed because of living expenses? Or extra hours of push and experience for your career progression
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 1 month ago:
The article does have this caveat. “Context still matters. Job type, home setting, and leadership quality vary. Yet the direction remains positive. Even with modest differences by role, the health and satisfaction curves point upward. Inside those curves, remote work behaves as a flexible option that organizations can calibrate rather than a rigid rule.”
Though I will say your argument is still centered around being productive and effective for the company (ie.make money for the company), the article specifically centers around an individual’s well-being (sleep, family life etc.). So not the same metrics.
Other articles and research I’ve seen that did center on productivity did conclude that yes, it depends.

- Comment on A tangled web of deals stokes AI bubble fears in Silicon Valley 2 months ago:
Rich people (top 10-20%) are either financially smart or have financially smart people advising them. They will be well diversified in all asset classes. And will have a lot of liquid capital ready to buy after the bubble bursts. And also keep themselves fat and well fed. The wealth transfers up.

Yeah, a UK friend of mine mentioned that it is meant to prevent kids from playing hooky (ditch school). Meanwhile in Canada, we’re free range children.
Or does probably depend on the school.

Deliberately used as the “enemy” by the fascist state as scapegoat and distraction. Queer people were also targeted by Nazis.
