But tons of restaurants didn’t offer delivery before. That’s what the other commenter was saying. For many places, especially smaller, locally owned restaurants, a 3rd party enabling delivery for them is a huge boon. But like the other commenter said, it needs to be implemented well and fairly, which it currently is not.
Also, comparing 3rd party food delivery to health insurance is definitely something…
Also active military get universal healthcare, too. Damn communist service members…
They’re not entirely wrong about it increasing the value of debt and that being undesirable to some governments, though. I agree with you as well.
I thought everything just went to the 4x formula and/or the micro/hero focused route. I actually wish there were more simplistic Warcraft 1/2 or C&C type games to come out, but I’ll admit I haven’t paid much attention to the genre for awhile, pretty much since StarCraft 2.
This is so their relatives know that they’re being sucked into the US ICE void. It’s a precaution to try and help ensure people don’t “disappear” for good. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of people becoming “mysteriously lost” after being detained by US authorities.
This isn’t a Trump/GOP-only problem, but the GOP seem hell bent to make it even worse, so Mexico is preparing for that.
It depends on the country, but healthcare is much cheaper and simpler everywhere else in the developed world than in the US. We live in a corporate dystopia.
Article said it exceeds 200.
It’s definitely a crapshoot a lot of times. But there’s usually at least one or two on there that are similar enough that I might genuinely be interested in it. You can also forcefully hide games from showing up in suggestions, iirc. I’ve never done it, but some of my friends have recommended doing so in order to make Steam dig deeper for finding lesser known stuff. I’m not that big of a connoisseur, though.
Edit:
I recalled correctly, and it seems they’ve even made the Ignore button a lot easier to find (or I just never noticed before):
It depends, sometimes I go down the rabbit hole on their “Games Like This” suggestions on my favorite games’ store pages. I actually just found a cool one that way the other day called Ad Fundum. It was a funny coincidence since it came up suggested on a completely unrelated game, but I’d been wanting a game centered around digging underground.
But yeah, with literally over 100,000+ games on Steam, it’s become way too difficult to find quality stuff that isn’t AAA or indie games that struck it lucky with popular streamers giving them exposure. Which sucks for indie devs that actually put out their passion projects since it makes discoverability so hard, as others have pointed out here.
Oh sure, the parent company totally didn’t know this was going on… Glad Brazil discovered this and shut it down. Hope that all of the culprits face severe criminal penalties.
I’d argue FF12’s content is primarily grinding, though. I liked the game, actually just beat it this summer. But, I was definitely ready to be done with it by the time the credits rolled. I finished with around 70 hours, I think. There are a lot of secrets and whatnot, I just wish their crafting/bazaar system wasn’t so tedious with its requirements.
The company should be doing more to support these employees, that’s the point. Right now, Meta doesn’t give a fuck if their employees are getting severely traumatized trying to keep content off their platforms. They don’t pay them much, don’t offer resources for mental health, etc. A maybe bad analogy would be like a construction company having no heavy machinery safety policies and when those employees get hurt and can’t work anymore, just firing them with no worker’s comp.
For comparison, hospitals or law enforcement provide therapy and/or other mental health resources for their employees, since those jobs put their employees in potentially traumatic positions with some frequency (e.g. a doctor/nurse witnessing death a lot).
Grim Dawn is fantastic! I can’t wait for the new expansion coming in a few months. I also heard they’re making a sequal after they finish their town building game which is coming out of EA soon.
Diablo’s story is now entirely detached from its gameplay, the protag can see the villains cutscenes due to a plot device, no more clever writing to explain events after, you get rewards not from an NPC but from the menu from completing world events, and somehow there are localised areas of 100s of enemies just waiting for you to start a fight in a random spot on an open field, theres a GPS showing you the way to the next objective
Diablo 2’s story is also detached, it’s nothing new lol. I’d say Diablo 3 actually had the most protag focused story besides Diablo 1. In D4, all of the cutscenes at least involve main characters you regularly interact with.
Regardless, no one plays those games for the story. They’ve always been purely about gear grinding and demon/monster butchering. D4 is probably the most polished in the series, except for maybe D3, which was a very streamlined experience, for better or worse. I like all of the Diablo games, but I still think D2 and D3 are the most fun I’ve had playing with friends. Fun is always the most important aspect, and D4 was making strong strides to improving that aspect when I last played over the summer. Not sure if that’s still the case in the new expansion, but I figure I’ll try it out when the xpac is on a deep discount.
In my other comment, I mentioned a Radio Lab episode that discussed it. The main problem is like you say, they take people off the street and offer little to no training. Additionally, they don’t offer any mental health resources for their employees. Their pay is also pretty awful. The turnover is extremely high for these and many other reasons.
I hope they win their lawsuit. I listened to a Radio lab episode a few years ago about FB moderators. The shit they have to see day in and day out sound absolutely horrible. Pics and videos of extreme violence and child pornography sounds like it’d give any normal person some major trauma.
Because, unfortunately, millions of people still use it. If you’re selling a product, it’s in your best interest to have as much social media presence as possible.
Also, it’s better to have an official presence on those platforms so others can’t impersonate you as easily.
That’s the circlejerk effect for ya. It’s also hard to discern people’s tone online, so some people may interpret a genuine question as something insincere. Not like it really matters though, points aren’t worth anything haha
Anyway, I wouldn’t be so sure he’d fold and backtrack on unpopular policy. He rarely did during his first term, and there were many very unpopular things he did.
Personally, I’m of the view that if Trump is implementing any economic policies like this, it’s going to be making him money directly and/or indirectly. So if that’s his ulterior motive in this context, he won’t care how unpopular it is until he extracts whatever amount of money he wanted out of it. Then, once he or his allies have made their money, they’ll roll back the policy and play it off like he had a change of heart and his bullshit PR outlets will spin it as him having some grand plan all along…
Yes, tariffs are much easier for him to implement than building 1000+ miles of wall.
