Just fucking own it and do better. Downplaying it means not only do people still think badly of you, but now they know you also don’t take responsibility for your own actions and instead lie about them.
You also don’t have to be specific about what happened, only that you are actively improving yourself and what steps you are taking to do so.
Edit: You are taking steps to actively improve yourself, right?
Hades is pretty fun and comes in under that budget.
Move to an in-demand field. Blue-collar workers are in short supply, and the trades pay well.
If not even your direct employer is aware of a strike that presumably affects them, how the hell would a government five, ten layers removed be able to tell?
Not going to tell you not to take your sick day. I take sick days too…
The whole point of a strike is the employer knows you are striking and that you want x to change in order for the strike to stop. What change is being achieved with your employer if they think you are sick?
The neat part about that is it also ties fuel and food together as (partly) interchangeable items.
During fuel shortages, ramp up corn -> fuel production. During food shortages, reduce/cease corn -> fuel production.
Same. I don’t even check if a game works before buying it now. That said, I also don’t buy crap from EA, which seems to be one of the largest offenders.
It’s weird your flight sticks don’t work in Linux. I have used several (I play a lot of DCS) and they have worked out of the box for me.
Not good for: Tasks requiring human judgement or design decisions
So, like 99% of programming after you have been a professional programmer for longer than a year…
Was going to say, what will happen next month is he will be broke.
Semi-related: You may enjoy Steins;Gate.
countries like the PRC are rising
China has a horrifyingly destructive demographics crisis on their hands. Even if they reversed course on that issue today, it won’t be solved for decades. And there is every indication their demographics issue is accelerating.
China is peaking. Them, South Korea, and Japan are the worlds case study on how to deal with these problems; all three are going to fuck up in 100 ways that everyone else will be able to learn from. Immigration is one of the main ways to deal with it, something that China is much worse off with as their poor wages and sheer size means they uniquely cannot attract enough people, unlike South Korea and Japan.
robots will begin to replace construction workers and other workers
95% of all human labor used to be farming. Automating jobs is how we have gotten the prosperity we have today. Nothing we have done would be possible without automation. Increased productivity is far from a boogeyman, it’s something to be celebrated.
You are a straight man with some specific desires.
Welcome to normalcy.
Man, I really hope those were just forgettable for them. The Lion King live action remake is so damn disappointing. All the emotion, all the storytelling, just gone. It’s a very poor imitation of the original.
Remakes can be good. The new Dune movies are worlds better than the 70s movie; that is a movie that needed a proper remake. The new ones actually do the books justice.
Same, swapped to pork and chicken-based meals. Ground beef is still cheap enough though.
Basic investing. The short version is you want to regularly put a portion of every paycheck (5%+) into index funds. Leave them there for decades.
If you have credit card debt, get that paid off first. 8% per year looses to 27% interest. ;p
Saves a shitload of money too. Groceries are ~4x less expensive than restaurants.
Protip: You can freeze meats, cheese, and bread. You don’t need to go to the grocery store constantly, you can buy more over fewer trips.
I would highly advise against pumping the humidity up in your home to anything past 60% and it really should not go past 50%. Mold is no joke and is going to present a serious problem in this situation. Saunas are built in specific ways to account for the high humidity, your home isn’t and will mold up.
