  You hit on the core reason. Less rigidity. The east and south are much more traditional. They are slow to change tradition. That also makes them slow to adapt. It’s a mindset. And the people who left those areas to go west did so with a more open mindset. And once it started that way, it was more or less established. If you like peer pressure from dead people, go east and south. If not, go west.

  I’ve noticed how poorly gpus are classified, and how it seems every intersting peice of AI software just has a list of gpus it can work on. So I can see customers just locking into one brand so they have less to memorize.

  There definitely was a “they are replaceable” attitude back then. Now try to imagine the generations before us, when 13 kids wasn’t that abnormal. And that 13 only counted the ones that survived.

  In the past people didn’t have access to a device with endless information about how rough it is the raise kids. Instead they had other local parents as a source, and those parents just wanted company in thier misery.

  There is a reason for declining child birth numbers… it has everything to do with more people knowing what they are really getting into.

  My son(11) will say, “you can’t do that, I’ll call the police and they will arrest you”. I say, great maybe I’ll get some peace and quiet. He doesn’t know I won’t, so it works. Lol.

  I couldn’t make it work. But I did notice that the spot in the background changed focus a tiny bit at one point. I suspect my brain was tracking the thumb and simply refused to continue to truely focus on the background spot. I tried and tried, but just couldn’t make it happen. Neither eye. :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a game like "99 days in the forest" to play with my kid, but not on roblox⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I haven’t actually played it. But you start out in the center of a forest. You have a fire. You collect would to level up the fire. That opens more space in the forest… you collect things, level up things, find things… there is a random deer that attacks you at night or something. And some wolves at some point. But unlike raft, satisfactory or Minecraft it is a shorter overall play through. And the forest is different each time. So you play until you die or win. But it doesn’t let you save, which is annoying for me, even if a play through should only take an hour or so.
  I am open to other ideas as well. We have put many many hours into raft. Also satisfactory, minecraft, tf2 (though my wife doesn’t like that one :) )

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit like this is why we need open source printers!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not enough people still printing these days to be worth the effort of an opensource printer. But in general, yes. Closed source products are always a ticking timebomb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a game like "99 days in the forest" to play with my kid, but not on roblox⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a tough thing. I let him play on it because that is where the very few friends he has are. I did hold out as long as I could. He is autistic, so any interaction with neurotypical kids is good for him. But he can also be a pretty stringent rule follower, so I setup rules for interacting with anyone not a friend he knows personally. And he follows them. In general he doesn’t like playing with rando’s at all. So it works out to be “okay”. Not great. But “okay”. I just don’t want to make me an account, cause then he will want me to play all the lame money grabbing games with him and such.

  All in all. If you kid manages to have social interactions with other kids without roblox. Then there is no need for it. Nearly all of the games on there are just money grab pay-to-play games.

  Also, the restaurant probably has no control over those numbers. The software might give them a Yes/No option on showing suggested tips or not at best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am saying sex need not occur before love because they aren’t connected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, for guys, love and sex simply aren’t connected early on.

  Wait so was he in trouble because he should have had beer on the boat? And should have had more blonds?

  So how do you get rid of old dough?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well think of it like this. I keep an amount in my checking account (basically no interest) to cover the credit card bills. Extra I move out to an online savings account that does have a ddcent interest rate. By having a date when the CC bill comes due, I can check once a month (7 days before due) and move money if needed to cover the bill. So while the checking has practically no interest, I was getting close to 5% on the savings for a while. Still a far stretch from the 12% cds I got as a kid, but it’s something.

  I know in split fiction I saw at least one area with a bunch of things to interact with that were just there to explore. Before that there seemed to be just random things here and there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I will say that the urge to share an opinion rather than listen is not really based on sex.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m almost 50 and still don’t know. The best advice I can give is to try lots of things. Very few people just know, and even they didn’t know until they tried.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where are all the successful "red cities"?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats a pretty good read. I often think about a lot of that. But I never come up with a way to help the rural population much. Thier way of life is dying, has been for a few hundred years. But it is still essential. They don’t like handouts or even assistance. So how do you help them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't the US fill in the area in the Pacific to connect Alaska, Hawaii, and the mainland? Are they stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The bering strait is probably doable. The ol land bridge is underwater there somewhere. Just build a bridge on top of that. If it keeps getting hotter, we are all going to want to move to alaska.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poor guy 😭⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m thinking he is about to make bank in the divorce. Assuming he doesn’t already make bank, his prospects likely just improved. That said, when you marry someone who is a C suite type personality, you are usually the type to “hold on loosly”. Cause ambition is strong in such people.

  They still both “could” be true. Though more likely something else was a foot. Maybe the earnings target was set poorly such that the payout was more than the increased earnings. You would think in general that such a clause would be mutually beneficial, but clearly one side didn’t think so.

  Maybe if we stop paying for unfinished games we won’t have to care about the drama the comes before the release. We can just see the finished product. Then we don’t have to guess how crap like this might effect the game.
