- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI is Now Coming May 26, 2026 - Rockstar Games 2 days ago:
The problem is that Rockstar is trying to make a new engine with modern graphics, when the industry has been moving away from the cutting edge because of costs.
- Comment on What is the evolutionary benefit of loving a pet so much you melt into a puddle when they are around? 5 days ago:
Given that domesticated animals adopted some human baby like actions, it is a plausible theory.
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 5 days ago:
My post isn’t bait. We’ve gone through the process with HR and then found that the applicant may not have work authorization.

US. We’ve tried to get the applicant to fill out an I-9, which failed.

I’m looking to try to unwind this with as little blowback to the applicant as possible.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 6 days ago:
He’s trying to raise revenue in a way he can control.
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 6 days ago:
The problem is that there is a recruiter as a middleman. This would be a lot easier if there wasn’t a third party fiscally interested in this.
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 6 days ago:
I’ve been consulting with HR. They’ve come to the conclusion that the applicant probably isn’t able to work. I’m just trying to wind this down.
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 6 days ago:
Yeah, it is hiring. I edited this.
My issue is trying to unwind this as humanely as possible for the applicant.
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 6 days ago:
We were going to hire them, but they can’t show proof of working in the country.
And since I recommended that they get hired and they can’t show the right paperwork, it is becoming my job on how I should proceed.

Eh, I’m not surprised. I’m more surprised at how comfortable with people being racist in public.
- Comment on Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen 1 week ago:
Is there a used electric truck old enough to be $20,000?
- Comment on Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen 1 week ago:
There may be a market.
The big 3 have been chasing larger trucks, effectively abandoning this market. I can see this being a farm truck that gets beat to shit.
- Comment on Why is the NFL draft day so "special"? 1 week ago:
To add onto this, you’re also seeing a greater development of the nerd fan, propped up by fantasy football and gambling.
Before, a fan would be interested in their team and maybe a few others. You now have people dedicated to the league, treating it as the RNG running their games. That means knowing all teams, all players, and even how coaching staff will use players as that affects their own games and possibly even their own bottom lines.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel guilty or very depressed after accomplishing anything? 1 week ago:
I was labeled as gifted growing up, part of it being I was the smartest kid in the classroom in a lot of my classes. That generally meant that no one really celebrated if I did well academically since it was expected. It was really only a celebration if someone beat me. So I never got used to celebrating what I did since it would just piss people off.
My mom would also usually claim my accomplishments as her own since she raised me and my success was due, in large part, to her.
So I got used to not getting a sense of accomplishment when I accomplished something.
- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 1 week ago:
Not characters, but places.
Earth is extremely competitive to gain any notoriety, which is really bad for a lot of people as notoriety and talent have become what is valuable in human society. People leave Earth because, while it is comfortable to live there, it is really hard to move up the social ladder. It is a lot easier to move away to get a better position, hence why humanity still colonizes other planets while Earth is paradise.
The Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarire civilizations were going into decline when the Federation was formed. This is why Humanity became the dominant species of the Federation; the other species effectively gave up trying to be powers.

Yeah. That’s why social media tries to curtail that kind of communication.
- Comment on Why are popes always really old? 1 week ago:
The selection process is via an election of cardinals. Generally, if a small group elects someone for a position, that person usually comes from that voting group. Therefore, while not a requirement, an elected pope is generally a cardinal.
Beyond that, a pope has great influence over the Catholic Church. It would be very remarkable that a young person could have that much influence over the cardinals to get elected. It could happen, but the likelihood is rare.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
The border patrol doesn’t really care as long as the amounts are small. A lot of times, border patrol will even provide the limits.
If you are going to go over and you get inspected, you’re going to need a good reason for what you’ve got. For instance, going for a day trip but coming back with a week’s worth of clothes are going to be a red flag. Border patrol is also going to look at condition of the items if they are at the point they are inspecting the items.
- Comment on Google is excited about money! 2 weeks ago:
But that may not be as viable today.
There are already several transit systems that have converted to cashless systems. There is also a push to some stores to cashless as well.
Cash may be a superior way for kids to handle money, but I can see some areas where having cash isn’t viable.
If I was a parent, I would want the wallet to act as a debit only system. However, I could see the utility in giving my kid a debit like system with $10 on it.
