A friend of mine is a surgeon, and he told me he really struggles not to lose his shit when he hears people thanking God after he has been standing on his feet for multiple hours to save someone's life.
Yep, I work in games and this year has been fucking brutal.
Most of my contacts/acquaintances on Linkedin are "between jobs".
Luckily I have some freelancing set up, but this thing is killing me. It's not easy to find another (remote) job when half the people in the industry are competing with you.
On the Food network they boil potatoes, but they poach carrots. They poach turkey, but they boil eggs. They sauté’ onions, but they fry eggs in the same pan. Likewise, they fry hash browns, but they sauté’ onions in the same pan before adding the potatoes....
All good but I'd just like to point something out.
When you boil pasta you're actually hydrating it, and it's a process that occurs above 80C, you don't need water to be boiling savagely.
In fact, it's preferable to let pasta simmer, as full boiling is a bit too "violent" and tends to damage most kinds of pasta.
You know, when some pieces are broken and torn like when it's overcooked? You can avoid that by keeping the temperature low.
Some people in Italy even turn the fire off after the water has started boiling ,as the water is hot enough to cook the pasta and keep it nice and firm.
This is the kind of narrow minded, uninformed point of view upon which all populists thrive.
"The immigrants will make the country collapse! Vote for me! I'll keep all those blacks away!".
No, 70k people will not cause a country of 65 million people, the 8th economy in the world, to collapse.
Incompetent governments will. As well as outdated economic policies, lack of innovation, excessive fiscal pressure and whatnot.
The footprint of a bunch of people who lives on 10 Euro a day isn't even a rounding error. Inflating their significance and supporting the ignorance of the subject is what brings right wingers into power.
Yeh ffs I hate this kind of prodding by self proclaimed social justice warriors in a context where it has no sense whatsoever. It makes them look stupid, and diminishes the issue in places where it actually is an issue.
Mikklesen response:
"Well, first of all, the film takes place in Denmark in the 1750s. We do have a big plotline about a girl of color who is being subjected to racism, which was very rare, any people of color in Denmark… almost nobody. She was probably at the time the only one in the entire country of Denmark.”"
Diversity shouldn't be a pre-requisite for a story.
It takes place in 2023 New York? Cool, there should be diversity.
It takes place in, say, 1450 Saigon? Diversity would look artificial and out of place.

Nintendo showed some developers the new console Switch 2 behind closed doors with The Matrix Awakens and a version with improved graphics of The Legend of Zelda
Come on, it's a hand held, have they manged to squeeze a gpu the size of a ps5 into a Switch? And how do they cool it? Bullshit.
Also, Nintendo hardware has always been, by choice or not, at least a generation behind Sony and Microsoft, I really don't see them changing that any time soon.
Where I live (and other countries I've lived) it's commonly stated in any contract that landlords can not show up without a 48 hours notice.
As it should be: the moment I'm paying rent that's MY house.
Also, I'm 99% sure that if you enter the house unannounced while people are at work (landlord or not) that's breaking and entering, so all in all I think yours is really bad advice and you should never do that.
Paying tenants have the right to consider the house as their property as specified in the contract, and have the right to act towards home invaders as they see fit.
In particular, if I got home and found you in poking around my shit I'd let my dogs have a go at you.
The only common sense bit is that yes, you shouldn't rent to unemployed, that crazy.
Also in my country people usually have to provide proof of income when renting, so I don't know who would do that.
Edit: fuck, that's unacceptable. Surprise visit? I might be doning anything: showering, work, sex, having dinner, or people over. I would definitely slam the door in your face.
I don't know what "being registered to vote" means exactly in the US, but intuitively it sounds like an unnecessary level of complication and an undemocratic practice.
Not that my country (Italy) can be taken as an example, but even being it the paradigm of red tape and overcomplicating things, people automatically get a voting card wherever they're living and they vote.

Fucking hell this is super weird. I was going through my comments history, and one of them was "what's a boomer shooter?"in reply to someone who mentioned the term a few weeks ago.
Since it wasn't replied I looked it up like a minute ago, and came across this very article.

Yes, as opposed to religious literacy. Which, on top of being pointless, can easily be pursued in one's own time in places of worship instead of public schools.
Ok call me arrogant but I've had enough of what you call common rabble.
I've read my share of common places, hidden racism, zero value content, "I've done my research and 5g gives you covid", and all that.
Not that a more educated community is always immune to that, but if the 10 minutes worth of googling are enough of a hurdle to keep the soccer mums away I'm ok with that.
I hope all of you are having a great day! I just was feeling encouraged today as I have officially lost 30 pounds since August, 10 of which have been just this last month. I don't have many people in my life to share this accomplishment with, so I figured I would post here....

I agree with you but I want to add that how Enterprise developed was a damn shame.
It was shaping up as one of the best series, the thirst for wonder and discovery, the curiosity and human ingenuity. It was one of the series closest to the original ST spirit.
Then 9/11 happened, and it turned into a weird mess with time travel ,a huge war in the middle and all that crap.
