Creating new IP is a long term strategy that harms short term objectives at the benefit of long term ones.

Most execs are not incentivized to do anything but max this quarters profit. Execs are only concerned with the immediate as their salaries are based on quarterly and annual objectives.

The system is designed to race to the bottom. Who can create the most revenue while providing the very least to the consumer.

Wait, alonso’s last name is Diaz??

If anxiety was your only driver you basically don’t know how to be productive without it. Productivity is a learned skill, but when you’re basically fear driven you never learn it.

So yes now you have to learn how to find self motivation and learn how to apply yourself without feeling terrible first

Basically if you did the job in 1/10ths the time when anxious you now have more time to get these things done and not in a rush. Do you tasks and feel chill about it cuz you don’t wait to the last minute.

I didn’t always love that one and it’s definitely not my fav. I have to be one of the few deftones fans that doesnt also like tool?

Fisticuffs is my preference.

<3 Digital Bath its my 2nd fav.

Pink Maggit is the best song on the album, change my mind

20th anniversary edition making me feel old

It’s obvious from looking at Gabe

imo nothing is obvious about gabe. very little is known about him. we see what he wants us to see, nothing more.

Guarantee we’re going to find out he’s a real dirt bag after everything is said and done he just keeps a tight circle.

I started on vinegar based hot sauce as a kid, then grew to understand there’s better stuff out there… But the vinegar based stuff is not as inherently bad as I thought now that I’m even older. It has definite cases where it’s the best sauce for the job.

Good pick. Tetris effect is fuckin wild under certain circumstances. I wouldn’t have thought about this as immersive but it’s more immersive than many games.

The big D lol

Textbook whataboutism.

There are different solutions to different sources of violence. A holistic approach as you advocate for would include tactical solutions where you look at underlying causes of violence towards specific groups as well as broad strategic solutions to analyze the problem at large.

You can acknowledge violence as a whole while simultaneously understanding that domestic violence affects some groups more than others, and that “solving violence” may require specific approaches to handling domestic abuse.

The entire concept that something is right or wrong only if there is a consequence is everything that’s fucking wrong with the world right now.

We need to teach our children, and ourselves, that doing the right thing always matters despite or in spite of a lack of consequence.

wow i havent thought of bleem! in 20 years

It’s not, because downloading assets was not working, and with it not working eventually the user will shut it down thus having an effect on peak concurrent. It’s not even that complex. If people can play your game they will stay on it increasing the count, if people cannot play your game they will not, thus decreasing the count.

Peak concurrent was marred by the game not being playable. It’s not really a good indicator here.

Diff smell.

I call this ‘outside’ smell and you can smell it on a clear day.

Immigration is permanent residence. You can move somewhere not permanently, like on a temporary work visa - that is an expat. US/UK/Canada have a lot of treaty agreements with other countries, so a Canadian citizenship will essentially allow you into many countries more easily than those coming from a third world country. People from third world countries have to go through a more intensive visa process for temporary residence.

Another reason expat applies generally is because generally an expat from the US does not renounce their US citizenship despite the tax implications due to the need/desire to return home. The US is one of the few countries that will tax a US citizen anywhere in the world, which I think leads to the increased use of the word expat.

bet this will be a premium feature.

You’re not supposed to intrinsically have your sense of direction in an unfamiliar location. Some people can do that but assuming you’re not paying full attention on your way to a new location it’s actually normal and expected to have to get your bearings which means taking a moment to orient yourself and figure out what direction is what. And then it’s easy to forget (let’s say you step into a store) until you build a sense of landmarks. Also the more dense a location the harder it is because it’s more complex.
