Hello department,

Due to a recent policy change, the currently planned process change has been postponed. This is in part due to the new policy requiring all teams review and confirm that their work will not be impacted by any process change. Any issues that are discovered during these internal discussions must be immediately brought to management. Issues discovered this way will also set new policies to ensure the issue is fully resolved prior to any new process change. Please discuss the attached policy change(s) amongst your team and provide feedback prior to the postponed process change date. Please note that any feedback provided after the postponed process change date will not be accepted, per company policy. Any team who does not provide feedback prior to the posted deadline will require additional policies to endure promptness.

“Can you confirm if this impacts your team by tomorrow? It’s holding up the release, and management is ready to move on it.”

I’d even say add another column of “Skills to get the interview”.

Yeah, yours is hypothetical. Good luck solving entropy.

“People have died long before Jack the Ripper. If we want to prevent death, you need for the root cause, which isn’t Jack”

We’re not trying to solve every case of data disappearing, but the large influx that has appeared as a direct result of Trump’s orders.

In case it’s not obvious, the root cause of that is Trump.

Both achievements and in-game rewards linked to playtime should be banned. The “Tales” game series is especially bad at requiring ridiculous amounts of playtime for character abilities.

50 hours in menus, 25 hours in “combat”, and a whooping 250 hours in the game in general for the highest-level bonuses for the main character in Tales of Berseria.

With that data collection, their algorithm for targeted marketing is on a completely different level. I completely believe they’re profitable.

Not only do you have knowledge into people who are likely buyers, you can put them into a buying mood right before showing them the ad so they’re primed for it. Then on top of THAT, you don’t have to design, film or edit the ad - you just pay an influencer to do it for you. It makes it faster, easier and cheaper to AstroTurf brand awareness than ever before.

Relatedly, the only people I know ordering things from Shien or Temu are on TikTok.

The sequel is when the original programmers die and a new team has to come in and figure out WTF their code is doing or even supposed to be doing.

It’s my favorite Godzilla movie because of this aspect. There’s a scene where I lost it in the theater when the >!Prime Minister is completely certain in telling the press that Godzilla will absolutely never, not in a million years, not make landfall… only to have an underling whisper in his ear that Godzilla just made landfall.!<

I worked for a Japanese company at the time, and could recognize that it wasn’t even heightened for parody. That’s just exactly how it is.

I understand this sentiment because I had a similar story growing up, but I’ve had to come to terms that the internet of that era does not exist anymore.

Now we have these corporations who made it their goal to algorithmically trick you into spending more and more time engaged with their website for ad revenue, not caring how angry or misinformed people get in the meantime. It used to be a place we could escape to, but has turned into just another echo chamber/prison and worst of all - we’re addicted to it.

I think places like Mastodon and the Fediverse can help bridge this gap, but on the whole, the internet is just not a safe place for developing brains anymore.

The difference is being labeled “abnormal” by a person you know vs. by society. As a society, we used to beat children who used their left hand to write until they started acting “normal”.

The thought itself that left-handedness and right-handedness are different is not harmful. However, when you start labeling one as ‘normal’ and the other as a ‘generic abnormality’, you start shifting people’s perspectives and suddenly we get a situation where we call left-handed people “Sinister”. (The word literally means left-handed. We added the evil connotations afterwards because of the prejudice against left-handed people. We also did the same in reverse for “dexterity”.)

You might not see the harm immediately in the small scale, but it’s absolutely intended to be a step towards dehumanizing queer people. As others have said as well, homosexuality is incredibly common in nature. Most giraffe sex is gay sex. It’s just not taught in school because… say it with me… “It’s abnormal.”

It’s really not though. It’s just different, and different doesn’t mean bad.

Your argument has been used countless times in history for a number of “abnormalities” that turn out to just be differences without distinction.

“Listen, I’m a supporter of red-heads, but don’t we basically understand that it’s a genetic abnormality? Maybe ‘illness’ is a bit harsh, but they’re just not common enough in society to be considered normal.”

• Clearly states problem
• Apologizes
• Identified impacted users and already reversed the outcome
• Reaffirms commitment to fair and enjoyable gameplay for everyone

This is how it’s done. I don’t play the game, but I’m interested if this is how their community is moderated.

That’s obviously a credible threat, considering how many girls he has chained up.

This analogy is garbage. The “nicotine vape for kids” isn’t Balatro, it’s loot boxes. Balatro would be like candy cigarettes.

Wow, Alex Jones looks like he aged 15 years in the past few months.

Good.

I was excited for the remake until I learned that it ends before the end of disc 1. I’m also not buying a new console to play the second third of a remake of a game I’ve already beaten.

Didn’t the guy who originally posted the “1:1 model comparisons” later admit that he stretched and scaled the models to fit better?

It’s derivative, but not a ripoff.

If only something allowed you to use the typing system you already know, was able to be rolled up, doesn’t require you to already own a 3D printer and have knowledge of modeling software, and cost less than $50.

If only…

That’s not the fault of the user/students, though. They’re different tools. One is outright worse than not using it. Neither produce lasting benefits.

Headline: Screwdrivers better than hammers for screws.

Text: When craftspeople were trained using hammers with screwdriver bits duct-taped to them, they were able to perform the task, but were not able to keep pace with people using screwdrivers. Another team was given power drills, which were effective in practice. However, these did not produce any benefit once all people were given screwdrivers.
