Often me. I make tools/interactions for learning management systems. So the back end is a thid party I have no controll over. Just take the api and make the magic happen.

You need me to save data somewhere but don’t want to buy server space? Sure we can cram that into places it’s not ment to go within the system. It will slow things down and likly cause issues but it’s free.

I heard of this one. I can’t help but think that this guy was just killed because it will be cheaper in the long run to excute him rather then pay to keep him in prison. I dont think this was about mercy, rehabilitation or justice it was about profit and the value of human lives.

Also just being realistic those parachute are probably just going to be questionable bargin bulk buys. They’d be designed to be as cheap as possible while just barely passing legal standards. They never be maintained or inspected. And there’s no way they support my 6’5" 300lbs ass as my frozen corps plummets to the earth below.

Apprently, if this meme is accurate, he’s been running things since ancient Egypt. The calm times are just when he is in the bioscupter for his age reversal cycle. In true Randy fashion these are not at all on a regular schedule.

I found a bug once in our content that only affected Firefox. Old versions of articulate whouldnt start properly. Not somthing I could fix on my own as i meeded anyoher department. I brought it to the attention of the managers. They didn’t want to fox it as apprently Google analytics showed only .4% of our user base was using Firefox. I manged to convince them its part of our user commitment to ensure that we work consistently across all browsers, but it was a pain.

You could try preparing the food ahead of time if possible?

This may eveually cause them to release that the preparation of food doesn’t always mean that they will recieve the food.

Or they will just annoy you at all times you are in the kitchen.

I was doing food prep as they are eating. I’d feed him then make my own food and his next meal. He didn’t care about what I was doing as he was either too busy eating or enjoying his post food nap.

Bragging is subjective.

Some take my bitching and moaning that I was up all night working on ____ because the project is a complete mess and they wanted it today as “bragging”.

Its performance review time, i hate myself and rent is expensive.

I dont think that one is some urban legend. He did have to supplement a lot of animations because the real video only shows how the situation started. There’s news clips after as well. There is some honestly too lucky to be true elements to that story but the clips of the testimony at the end do make it seem pretty legit. It’s at least real enough to freak me out.

Ah yhea seeing these all over Toronto. I ain’t against it (though not for it either). But I do know that nearby OCAD is a supposedly very pro Marxist art school with the resources to mass produce flyers and stickers. So this is is probably just someone’s homework.

Agreed, I’m new too the community but I am sure if OP asked this in [email protected] it would be just fine. Folks there are very kind.

In my family we’d joke Star Trek was closer to our religion then any other nonsense. We’d at least have a ritual around gathering as a family to watch it. I’m the only diagnosed one but I assume my family is thick with Nerodivergency. Also I’m not even that into trek.

When I was about 6 my older brother told me Santa didn’t exist and I was like “yhea that makes sense”. He also mentioned God didn’t exist and again and I reponded “well of course not”. At some point in my life the existence of Santa was more believable then the idea of God.

Growing up I was exposed to so many differnt cultures, differnt Gods. I think they are all valid, it is important to be secular within reason. Honestly, I’ve been a part of enough nerdy Fandoms over the years to see the parallels. I’d no more insult the Christian God then I whould Picard.

More to the question though it may have to donwith the whole sense of community and belonging thing.

From my understanding churches are a pretty vulnerable experience, there’s signing (potentally loud singinging), confessing of sins, forced friendliness, and positive expressions, and higtened emotions. It seems incredibly socially draining. If I had to do that unto school I’d have had a considerably more breakdowns as a kid.

I was thinking about Dungeon Keeper recently. I was really hoping since 2 Point revived Theme Hospital the may do the same for this other Bullfrog classic.

I have not heard of this FX thing. I may have to try it out. I always felt there was a lot more potential to this game that was never recognized. Maybe this will do a better job of it.

Has anyone done anything with Populous?

Thanksgiving and black Friday are not religious so they’d stay I imagine.

Seigest OP , 8 months ago

I mean that’s possible but whould they even need to? If one company had a “Christmas sale” and other had a “boxing week blowout” will folks even care, or will they just go to what place has the better deals?

Seigest OP , 8 months ago

Also the complete lack of context to why I’d ask the question. I could be a writer, this could be some nefarious data scheme, or im just dumb and curious. Doesn’t really matter.

Really I’d just been watching somthing like Defunctland and hearing about cool ideas that failed because they where not profitable enough.

I wondered what if that happened to religion. What might that look like. How many people whould it take to stop giving a crap about Christmas for companies to just be like “yhea lets just not do that anymore”. And without Christmas would the rate of those engaged in Christianity just fall slowly? Whould that be all it takes?

Probably not. But figured I’ll get some alternative perspective.

Seigest OP , 8 months ago

No worries. It was shocking relivent for a wrong post.

Seigest OP , 8 months ago

It pretty subjective I don’t know much about Thanksgiving as a Canadian we have we have a differnt one then the US. I never understood what ours was even about other then turkey. So if it’s religious then I honestly had no clue.

As many others have pointed out. If we strip all meaning of these events and just make the entirely commercial then it doesn’t much matter if they where intended as religious events or not.

With that in mind I wonder if separating the events from capitalism might actually empower them…

Seigest OP , 8 months ago

I’d call that the shock period. But imagine that would be temporary and less bad then we think.

Eventually I’d hope for less stores that only open for the holiday season and only hire for the rush. Things could just spread out more and we’d all be less dependent in revenue created from one event. We could focus our buying power on useful things and less cheap plastic crap bought to appease old rituals.

All very optimistic and unrealistic thoughts though

Seigest OP , 8 months ago

I wouldn’t be shocked at protest over Walmart not selling 20foot glitter crusted crucifixes or whatever. But I think most know the difference between defiance of religious values and non-compliance. I’m for up north though so there’s a little less zeal.

Also shooting up a Walmart probably ain’t the best move. Folks there are likley armed to the teeth and itching to shoot back.

Seigest OP , 8 months ago

Now what happens to a religion that is, for the most part, now separated from capitalism?

Seigest OP , 8 months ago

We can have these without the commercialism can’t we? Homemade decorations and costumes have more value and the act of making them with your family provides the time to talk about what these traditions are about.

I 100% agree with accessibility features. This includes some of the newer considerations.

• no-strobe mode
• normalized volume mode (makes it so sound doesn’t spike up suddenly, sudden loud noises are not nice)
• greater setting for subtitles, size, color, descriptive vs transcription. And keep ui elements out of the caption zones!
• documentation written in simple language for ease of readability.
• read back for all written content. Not just the first damn word of a text box. (Seriouly a lot of games do this now its this is just annoying!)

I once saw a thing where a DM (D&D) had an anonymous survey of common sensitive topics. He’d gage what his players where comfortable with prior to starting a campaign and adjust the story accordingly. Games just need this.

I found the trick with the reflux is those apple cider vinegar gummies every night. I had to cut calcium heavy things due to a blood condition but these gummies work pretty well.Just don’t swap them with a shot glass of apple cider vinegar. Ive learned you will get a terrible case of shits.

Once was plenty enough to learn the lesson for me.

I figured it be smart to not wash it down with water or dilute it. To really let work on the stomach. Burned like hell but I was heartburn free.

I cannot over empathize the horrors that occurred in my lower regions the next day. My body made some new and loud noises. I can only be thankful I work from home.

The gummies are not bad all though, if used as directed, and still decently effective. Just be sure to wash them down with a lot of water.

I passed on this game a because it looked like a generic city builder. But having finally played it it had some surprising mechanics.

• building up. Your space is fairly limited and you’ll want the good land for growing food. So you need to build up. Buildings ontop of buildings and you’ll need to account for efficient pathing and scaffolding. I thought this was a really cool mechanic.
• power, the power mechanic is also pretty interesting. Everything that needs power is either attached to a powered building or connected via a big spinning log. Power sources are water wheels and windmills neither of wich is consistent so you also need gravity batteries. These are cool because the higher up you make them the better they are which encourages you to use mountains and scaffolds to make huge structures.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this game continues to grow

Seigest OP , 4 months ago

Yhea thatd probably increase the score a bit. I whouldnt consider any kind if offsetting either. Even if your taxes go to Healthcare and support systems it doesn’t subtract from the amount going to military spending, wars, weapons, ect. Even smaller things like road expansions, and law enforcement count. Depending on the area these can cause more death.

Seigest OP , 4 months ago

Depends on the country for much of this I’d imagine. If your dependent on imports of common needs then you’d be creating a need for a massive transit network to supply it.

Though the study should focus on the number and not how people use it. I could speculate that if all your neighbours have the same number as you you’d be tolerant of that.

Seigest OP , 4 months ago

Agreed. I suspect we are nearly there.
