  • What upcoming video games are you looking forward to?

    Jump

  • None, literally none. Not that I think they won't be good! It's just that there's so many great ones to play already, why waste time pining for something out of reach?

  • The U.S. campaigned to host the World Cup. Now soccer fans will trade their countries' train system for the U.S.'s 'D' rated infrastructure | Fortune

    Jump

  • I'd rather use metric units than die but they aren't all that. Ten fingers is an accident of biology and basing our units on that number is insane.

  • Can someone who works in an industry or for an employer with clear negative impacts on society/the world maintain a clear concience?

    Jump

  • Can they? Probably. Should they? Definitely not.

  • Why is America so surprised when they elected Trump? They bitched and moans how all politicians are liars, cheats, money hungry and so on. So now they got exactly that and they are surprised?

    Jump

  • I'm not surprised. I'm just complaining.

  • what does it mean when you live at the crosspoint of time and space ?

    Jump

    Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • I cannot put down Aground. I played the demo on PC and bought the full game on Switch. Controls were clearly designed for mouse and keyboard, but the mapping to joycons is satisfactory 99% of the time.

    I have played for dozens of hours and have no good sense of how far through the game I am; it just keeps throwing more at me. Some goals are made explicit via quests, some are alluded at only through NPC dialogue, and some are just "explore and find out".

    It's very clearly in the Minecraft / Terraria genre of "wake up alone and start punching trees" but sufficiently different from either to be a novel experience. Combat is very simple but it's also not a huge part of the game. The main loop is: meet a new NPC who gives you a tool or blueprint » explore for resources » make a new building for your village » craft better gear » open new area » repeat; though the loops start to overlap at a certain point as your villages grow.

  • Put your seat back or no?

    Jump

  • Flights are for sleeping, friend. I personally don't see any benefit from reclining my seat so I don't, but you should understand: reclined IS the default.

  • In the US, why doesn't a personal savings account make more sense than health insurance?

    Jump

  • You can do that, and if you're young and healthy it works great if you're disciplined enough not to touch the savings account.

    Guess how many people are all three of healthy, young, and disciplined.

  • What is, to you, the worst designed website?

    Jump

  • Are there any communities where people have real intellectually honest discusions?

    Jump

  • Yes, there are communities like that. I know of two or three, like you said, focused on specific topics.

    But the key to joining a community like that is to demonstrate elsewhere that you are already someone who will participate seriously and civilly in discussion. There's no shortcut for this. Everyone wants to be listened to, but not everyone wants to listen. The people curating these spaces are only looking to add new users who are proven qualities.

  • Does a PBJ have a defined "up" side?

    Jump

  • It means "the primary focus of the sandwich".

  • Does a PBJ have a defined "up" side?

    Jump

  • While I agree with all the comments about structural integrity, I'll point out that platonically, it's a peanutbutter sandwich with jelly, and condiments belong on top of meats, not under them.

  • Does a PBJ have a defined "up" side?

    Jump

  • You spread it on the bread, then flip it onto the PB.

  • Did you have your Weight and Height recorded in school?

    Jump

  • We had it taken, but it was considered private medical information and was not given to teachers.

    How do I prepare to go broke?

    Jump

  • A gym membership is cheaper than an apartment, and will allow you access to restrooms and showers. If a public pool is cheaper, even better.

    Familiarize yourself with food banks and other resources now, because access to both transit and the Internet is going to get a lot more tenuous.

    Find a storage option for anything you truly value, even if it's just renting a lockable closet somewhere.

    Try to find a housesitting gig if you can, which will give you shelter and maybe even income. Do not reveal your financial situation to your new employers.

    I was only homeless for a few months, thank God, and like you I knew it was coming and had time to prepare. Some of the above is things I've done and some is things I learned later or wished Zid done. It took me a lot longer to climb out of that hole than to fall into it, but with hard work and luck and a lot of help I made it. I hope you can, too.

  • I'm an American and walk 10km almost every day here in Chicago. The American mind definitely comprehends this.

    Do some rich people date "poor" people?

    Jump

  • I don't think the fist amount is "poor"...

  • From a socialist perspective, what are the solutions to doomerism, and that "can't find love" feeling that I've been seeing on Twitter (specifically a frontend)?

    Jump

  • Once we stop being alienated from our labor and our communities this will be much less of a problem.

    1986 saw the release of both the Henson / Bowie film Labyrinth and the Ravensberger board game Labyrinth. What was going on in the zeitgeist that created these two seemingly unrelated classics?
