It takes me about 15 weeks to finish a game of Civ >.>

Thank you. I wasn’t sure what the criteria for that sort of thing was, but that explains it pretty well.

they tweaked weather transitions to be faster so that the player never sees anything below a certain level of quality

As Ricky says, I’m exposed to be rich by my comment but I am not rich at all, I just budget a little money for this handyman bc I am alone and 5 feet tall and just can’t fix the fence or cut limbs down. I would definitely have hired a dude to clean the gutters, husband’s pride be damned (I know how they can be) I live…

I don’t know why I just didn’t say something along these lines back to the question. We’re paycheck to paycheck people and the house is a stretch so we have to do everything short of electrical. Probably too embarrassed to say I’m not dripping in money and didn’t want to make the person feel bad. I’m such a girl.

Not only is this despicable, it’s testament to how ignorant and stupid these cretins are. Bad animation can be the result of slow tools, unfriendly tech, limited staff resources, and countless other factors (including but not limited to the fact that getting human faces to feel “human” is really friggin’ hard). That’s…

Wow do I hate gamers like this. I know there are bad apples in every kind of hobby/fandom/whatever, but man oh man is this particular brand of bullshit getting way too common for my liking.

I’m sure that there are really strong HR professionals out there... but I have never met them. Every single person HR person I have dealt with is just kind of an idiot. I think it is probably because they have zero latitude for creative problem solving and are basically only going to regurgitate company approved…

Nobody trusts HR, with good reason. Execs think HR exists to make work for themselves. Staff think HR exists to make up reasons you won’t get a raise this year, and to protect the company if you get injured, have a harassment complaint, or want to have an equitable salary. HR thinks they are the only ones…

ah you beat me to it. Absolutely. My single female friends in their 30s and 40s say they have a tough time dating. I have no idea why because they’re beautiful AND experienced in the world. Guys seem to have this block thinking they need a woman in their 20s.

I’m gonna say something that will probably make you have a negative reaction to me, and I don’t want that because Carl Sagan was basically my childhood HERO so please bear with me.

Thanks. I’ve been going after age appropriate women (meaning around my own age). And I don’t mind if they have kids. That would be pretty hypocritical I’d say, since I have kids.

I don’t know the details of this case and whether they’re accurate or not. It could very well be some entitled douche that’s upset that now he has to work with more women. The issue that I have is the hypocritical response, either assuming that this can’t possibly happen and women can’t discriminate, or that such…

White women think diversity is only for white women. They‘ll happily maintain their privilege to continue oppressing people of color.

PSA: “Men” come in all colors. If you mean white men, say white men. White is not a default that need not need be specified because men of color are also “men.” Have a nice day.

As someone who started my career combatting the trafficking of children (back before it was even recognized as trafficking and there was little or no Internet advertising), I’m deeply conflicted about this and similar arrests. I’m a big fan of people being prosecuted for pimping out children, but the truth is that…

When you read articles like this, the amount of time and the amount of money is always the maximum allowed under law. It doesn’t mean his sentence will be that long, or the fine will be that much. So it’s kind of a moot question unless you’re talking about a specific case where the sentence has already been handed…

you can discriminate against any gender, it’s sexism that only applies to women because sexism refers to the systemic disadvantage women face while discrimination refers to an individual’s actions. It’s semantic but it matters when you’re talking about legal issues like title ix. Harvard would lose its federal funding…

In all seriousness, I really needed to read this article. I pretty much hate myself, and can’t see any future where things turn out okay because I believe all the negative things that have been said. I’ve lost a bunch of weight, and regained it all in recent years, which probably hasn’t helped, and I know that I’m…

Everyone is complaining about the definition of “fat,” and I’m just over here like, “Hey, I’m fat. Where do all the fat lovers hang out?”
