The response to it as bait is that anyone saying that seriously is an idiot.

If you are referring to this:

Once she was done, I say to her “Let’s get you out of that wet dress. I imagine it must be uncomfortable. I’ve never actually worn a wet dress before”.

That is just someone who blurts out a thought they had after saying something else, pretty common with ADHD. Like at first they were thinking about wet shorts, which can get pretty uncomfortable fast if they aren’t made to get wet, then realized dresses might not have the same feeling since they aren’t connected in the middle. I could absolutely see myself saying something along these lines depending on the material of the clothing and the appearance of how it sticks to the body.

If you mean the wife’s reaction then asking her would be necessary because I have no idea where she is coming from that would make something like that sound sexist.

It would be possible to set up that way, just couldn’t think of one off the top of my head that already allowed for picking both.

You should really see a medical professional if you are able.

For last words though, I would go with “I never told anyone, but the…” [cough cough then dies] but it would be really hard to get the timing right.

Meh, funny stuff gets upvoted for being funny. At least the comment chains can be collapsed easily.

A voting system that differentiates between funny and informative would help, but sometimes comments are both…

Wanting closure is a preference and does not apply to all games. Counter Strike 2 doesn’t have a story and there is zero closure for example.

The industry trying to force games into a live service model when they shouldn’t be is a problem, sure. There are a few games where the model actually is a benefit though, like Helldivers 2. Other than wrapping up things somehow while winding down the game there isn’t an opportunity for closure while an endless war is going on. The setting itself is why closure isn’t on the table.

So I agree with the overall idea as it applies to games in general, but it isn’t some universal truth.

It sure looks like this is displayed after peeling back the very top layer that is still slightly attached at the top right in the image.

So they most likely did not know this was a thing when they purchased it.

Yes, requiring people to be civil when discussing topics that negatively impact them directly stifles the ability to convey how much they are suffering. Being forced to be polite to oppressors is absolutely awful.

So one thing that is an inherent issue with the distributed structure is inconsistent rules. There are instance rules and community rules and similar communities on different instances don’t have the same server or community rules, and a feed like All or even Subscribed is listing a bunch of things with different rules for interaction and adding a requirement to know all the rules for each individual post is unrealistic. Sure, most comments are fine if someone isn’t a complete jackass, but that mostly means the rules are not relevant the majority of the time.

Did you read and understand both the instance and community rules before commenting here? I did not, and have no regrets.

Incompetence is more likely.

Something something mechaHitler.

You mean 50501000s?

All styles have some variation within them.

Techbro

Because the tech he makes is inherently terrible and despite being used in a positive way it is still centralized and ripe for misuse by people like Musk. On top of that the long term feasibility is based on advertising potential to get the funding.

He says positive stuff most of the time but his actions are the opposite. Blusky is supposed to be decentralized, but the structure as it exists requires it to actually be centralized when implemented. Plus his most recent ‘secure’ thing wasn’t even tested for security issues because he is a hype man who constantly lies.

Not really, I have stepped in dogshit was better than Zuck.

Jack Dorsey should just fucking stop.

Arkansas’s waiver amendment requires able-bodied adults who are eligible through the new adult expansion to satisfy work requirements. The state’s Medicaid program will leverage data matching to identify individuals who are “not on track towards meeting their personal health and economic goals” to support them through “Success Coaching.”

I would argue that being required to work to get medical care is the moral equivalent of indentured servitude as it is generally forced on those who have to take jobs that pay less than a living wage.

Depends on the state and other factors. Just a huge shitshow.

Bankruptcy doesn’t necessarily get you out of medical bills anymore.

They paid for their expertise, even offering a bonus that was clearly less than whatever their projected profit would be, and then tried to squander it because they didn’t listen to their expertise.

Publishers in all kinds of industries are risk adverse to the point of not trusting whoever they made deals with to follow through. This is totally on brand for publishers!
