I think it’s the new normal
it's really not though. You can tell because, while I'd be willing to bet that almost everyone in this thread has a bank account, none of us think of it as normal.
If they don't run it past an editor first have you been sentenced to death or merely phrased to death?
If you're trying to minimize that taste go with "mild" olive oil over "extra virgin". EV is made from the first cold press of the olives, and has the most olive flavor. Mild is made from olives that have already been pressed once and have been heated to extract more oil. It's just this side of completely neutral. I can feel the spirit of my nonna in the room right now doing the finger thing 🤌🤌 but even she had one or two recipes where she used the mild olive oil to save money when you cant really taste it anyway or in desserts where you dont want to taste it.
Wanna know which game I last broke my "no pre-orders" rule for?
No Man's Sky. The game that was a tech demo for the first year or so after release. It's become a hell of a game since then, but it taught me a valuable lesson and I haven't bought a game since then.
It's kinda the natural progression of late stage hypercapitalism though. Used to be that you spent all your money up front, then your sales recouped your investment and hopefully generated you a profit. Once game companies figured out OTA patches they realized that they can push a lot of QA back until after release and use pre-orders and day 1 sales to fund it. Then with DLC they realized that they can sell the untested skeleton of a game up front and use presales and early sales to fund development. The natural progression seems to be the Star Citizen model, where you get huge chunks of your sales up front and use that to determine what you'll develop and when (if ever) you'll release it
I have shot and killed a deer with a flintlock gun. They're not toys or props. He committed assault with a deadly weapon and the whole word is just like "Oh, that's just wish.com iron man. You know how he is."
You did not encounter elon, a character based on him, or a character voiced by him in cyberpunk 2077
They told him to get fucked, so one of his chode toadies on xitter started a rumor that they added him to the game and then removed him in a patch.
The measure of addiction is whether it disrupts your life or harms your loved ones.
It's interesting to note that the author delineates "lawyer-readable" as different from "human-readable". Denotatively, of course, this makes perfect sense. Connotatively, it's rather brutal.
It's just a wet mouth on a long arm that reaches down to hell
I haven't read penny arcade in years, but it brings me joy to see that the writing, at least, seems to be right where I left it. Now if you'll excuse me, I've a deep crow that needs feeding.
that's an intellectually dishonest way of quoting the person that you quote
is it impossible to have a balanced conversation about starfield in particular, or does the internet ad economy tend to exclude the middle of every conversation in favor of loud antagonism and engagement bait?
Absolutely delicious, thank you for asking. I've been very fortunate and had a lot of help.
Left two jobs in the last 3 years because they offered remote and then tried to claw it back. If I ever set foot in an office again it'll be too soon.
I also tend to check in with myself on Sunday nights as I'm lying in bed. If I feel like I'm walking into a good situation the next morning, with good problems to solve and a decent chance of actually solving them, then I stick around. If I'm filled with dread awaiting the next off-hours disaster, I brush up my resume and flip the flag on LinkedIn.
Rikers dig a ship's counselor with money. At least the kind of Rikers that'd double down on a Lt Commander like me do.
No, absolutely not. The difference there is that their choices hurt someone else, driving drunk isn't inherent to alcoholism, and alcohol isn't regulated like other drugs so it doesn't have the same issues with getting help when you need it, dirty supply lines and market pressure to make it as strong as possible.
