You can play a lot of PvE games without competition. Deep rock galactic, space engineers, Minecraft mods, left 4 dead, divinity original sin (or baldurs gate 3 these days).

I think there’s AoE and starcraft co-op these days.

You can also okay grand strategy games in a peace with players war with cpu only game.

Statistically, that’s what’s on your phone.

Something I’ve noticed in places I’ve work that aren’t small, whoever has talent gets promoted into being half the time in meetings at best, and at worse into managing teams and working by Outlook.

But the trick is having layers of monkey spheres! The ceo monkey has 20 directors below it and each of those has 20 people leading people so it all reports up and gets lost but is “good enough”.

I’d think since companies get big enough they can just buy the promising competition before it becomes a problem, I’d say it’s a worthwhile cost to them

People still buy the mac books and that’s got nothing to do with androids, so they can fish from a few different rivers.

Is this a complaint about the OSI model?

Is that a thing that goes away? I think a lot of fields still have that silly things being done even closing in a half millennia on the industrial revolution. You still have tons of screw head sizes and types! Why such diversity!

I sometimes hit ls and then need to type dir.

Who ever is inconvenienced by stuff you do will lash out right there. People get angry at car accidents where people died, and you are inconveniencing them on purpose? If you don’t have enough sympathizers you get burned on a cross.

Even if those people would nominally support you if they were at a distance. Such is human nature.

I don’t know how to go about it and keeping public sympathy when you need to shock people into action…

Didn’t you have a picture of the cities were in the school manual? I find that surprising

First version I saw of that one on twitter was about finding rare bugs in the wild. Which oddly fit looking at the PR.

If you do not believe there is at least one god, don’t you automatically believe there is at most zero gods? Isn’t that how logic works? If you don’t know you say you don’t know, not you dont believe. When you say you do not believe you think have proof it isn’t…

You’re capitalising God to mean some abraamic god or just whichever currently proposed god?

Among all of them at least python is the choice generically people learn when they don’t want to learn programming, just want to program stuff as a helper tool to manage data. For those, python is just fine and the learning material around is tailored to for that.

That’s how you trick people into programming. You then see people making scripts that take days to run, but it’s fine, they’re only going to use it twice and are busy enough to be able to wait

Yeah, but later that higher gdp total can be used to better serve the people.

Hahaha, or it just gets pocketed.

For European Portuguese it’s the top choice. Or replace the first two words with “tu ligaste” for informal. You can always just answer with “Funerária pizaria Abel Frade, onde a perda da manhã é o almoço à tarde, como posso ajudar?” and that’ll get the desired response.

Wasn’t that the genie’s suggestion?

I’m like you. But didn’t find it cool. I inherited some, so my count is two.

Don’t you have masks you use to meet people? Slowly warm in and try to find out what they’re like?

Before remote work, that was one of the adult avenues of meeting new groups of people. Friends of friends are cool when you get involved in stuff they do and you don’t. Dare say, met cool people on the more questions focused dating sites where we didn’t have romantic interest but the conversation was cool.

Sometimes rekindling relations also gets you to meet the people they hang around nowadays…
