Gonna stop you right there Jeff. You're not a journalist.
The requirement for a steady paycheque is what keeps everyone working in terrible conditions. I'm lucky enough that I've always had a lot in savings and it has come in handy a few times. Twice I've walked off a job and never went back after failing to negotiate proper working conditions with the boss. Both times I burned through about $10,000 in savings while searching for a new job. Almost nobody has that much saved up. If they did, terrible bosses would lose employees on the regular.
resistance is futile
Superconductors don't offer much resistance.
I didn't downvote but personally I'm not sure what's dystopian about fewer people reading long, dense books and choosing to consume other, shorter media instead. It's like saying less people watching opera is dystopian. What's the problem with a medium becoming unpopular?
"Fake it till you make it" doesn't mean pretend to be happy until you are happy. I committed to a relationship I wasn't happy in, a career I wasn't happy in, and hobbies I wasn't happy doing, all because I wanted the approval of others. A divorce, career change, and hobby swap made me much happier.
These headlines keep saying $90 mount but it's basically "$90 access the mailbox and auction house from anywhere, and also get a mount".
Soon they're going to change the name to "M" and sell them individually
and then you die.
Dress for the job you want
Shapez is basically factory building reduced to its bare essentials. It's a huge grid with sources of simple grey shapes and RGB colouring. The sources are infinite. You have to cut, paste, rotate, stack, and colour the base shapes to make complex ones and deliver large amounts to a central hub. The only "cost" for building is when you copy and paste a blueprint. Your main focus is finding the steps needed to produce the desired shape and the ratios of machines needed at each step to avoid bottlenecks.
There's a 3D sequel that's in Early Access but I haven't tried it yet.
Her name is Light? Like the guy from Death Note?
