There are rumors of the Switch getting a successor next year. My biggest wish is for it to be compatible with the current games, included digital purchases. Honestly, if I can import my digital library and saves I’m already sold on a switch successor

I would enlighten this to forms not lining up. It’s been a while since I’ve sold anything on Facebook, or even had a Facebook, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was just a form they submitted and the person submitting the form didn’t know how to fill it out properly. I.e. submitted wrong category and had to enter a number of rooms as a required field.

Always read the description. Even on actual housing like Zillow, the description often includes details that can’t be portrayed in the static fields.

18 months when he clearly did it, then bragged about it showing he had no regrets. Multiple quotes showing he advocates violence against people in power.

I hope he at least lost his BAR over this…

Just the fact that they have access to the calls to be able to do this is upsetting…

This. But not a BPO. Work for the call center for a specific company. Don’t do a company that where others outsource too. I work for an ISP and we simply aren’t bringing anyone back to the office because we can actually employ more people WFH than in office. We can hire people 2-3 hours from the nearest office cause they simply don’t need to drive in. My wife worked at a BPO as a trainer and even when WFH was popular during COVID they mandated people work in the center and wouldn’t give paid time off for getting COVID which lead to more exposure. It was a disaster.

Remember, BPO’s try to do the job for the lowest possible cost which means cutting a lot of corners and not worrying about quality. A business that keeps all of its resources in house is more likely to care about quality and the care of its employees. Case in point, when we discuss changes for our employees we weigh some agents leaving with the cost of training new ones and the cost of implementing said changes. BPO’s simply make said changes knowing they are going to train another class every month for the foreseeable future.

It’s also a warehouse, not for someone to live in. Not sure what the criticism is?

I was considering the train of thought that more lab grown beef means less cows burping (hopefully)

Super fight is a fun spin on the genre, as it Dixit. Keep in mind they mix things up though, rather than rebrand apple to apples.

Superfight doesn’t have a prompt to answer. It is pairing cards and having groups dictate.

Dixit is actually something I’ve noticed people with autism enjoy. My cousin is autistic and we played a demo at a LGS and she loved it because she could pick the hint freely. She could tell a poem, or pick one word, or even a song. She loved mixing it up. So we got her a. Copy for Christmas with a couple expansion packs.

She went to a group home with other autistic children a couple times a week to help with socialization. She took her game once and it was a very popular game. The workers there said everyone loved it.

Both of those games introduce a twist to the genre. The change the rules. That’s what makes them fun. Whereas Mysterium and Obscurio I would say don’t fall into the genre because it’s not a judge of what card fits better. It’s a series of hints to an answer. Those games have a correct answer where others do not.

The cost of childcare is absolutely insane. My wife is staying at home. She is looking for something part time to get some extra cash.

She got a position at a day care
Our child goes to the top of the list since she’s employed there
We do not get a discount on child care with her working there

Her monthly pay will be ~1100
Our monthly cost to put our daughter there will be $2000

It costs more for my wife to work than it would to be stay at home.

The whole genre is overplayed. Apples to apples was great for kids, cards sold well because of the adult themes but even now it’s a pretty cringe game. Everything else is riding the same wave with no originality added to the concept.

The biggest one I hate right now is “carbon neutral”. “Hey we make a shit ton of pollution but we also recycle 0.5% of our supply chain. Our imaginary math works it out that it means we aren’t polluting because that’s absolutely how that all works”

Somebody else already explained it but I’ll repeat since you’re not listening. You didn’t quote a full quote. You pulled half a sentence.

They wanted true information removed when it was only partial, or was paired with incorrect information. Posting the pamphlet given when you were vaccinated would be fine because it was complete and contained no incorrect information.

But posting half the information can be damaging too as you’ve shown elsewhere in this very conversation. Your 1 in 32 statistic was followed up with information that issues were minor and had absolutely no lasting side effects or major cardiac events. Posting that statistic by itself with no extra information scares people from getting the vaccine.

So you posting 1 in 32 people have issues would get removed. You posting a link stating that 1 in 32 people have issues but none of them major or long lasting would not be removed. Do you see the difference?
