I think something people are missing when thinking less work overall will happen is that this gives opportunities for new job openings for at least part time (if not just more full time position) people to fill in the gaps, or the people already working will just get paid much better. Both are wins imo

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Do.. do you think the people who actually make the game get royalties or something? Bc once the game is made that's it for them lol

My only real gripe with discord (off the top of my head anyway) is that why tf when the "new" button pops up does it just scroll down the server list instead of just actually taking me to the server and the post causing the notification

It doesn't even actually ever go to the right spot on the server list it just goes way down and then I have to usually go back up to get to it

So this is kind of a breakdown of how it works. My 3 credit scores are all in the 800s, I only have one pay fee card and we're likely canceling it soon as we've got other cards that have better cash back deals. Here are a number of things that affect your score:

Using your cards, but not having a big balance on them monthly (we pay ours off, if not completely then the statement balance to avoid interest, but typically we pay them completely if we can)

Not missing any payments (haven't missed a payment in the 12ish years we've had cards)

Not having derogatory marks (credit dings from stuff like not paying debts or repossessions of cars or that sort of thing would hit hard)

Any temporary hits like applying for a new line of credit (cards, loans, mortgages)

Average age of credit (older lines help a lot, it hurts less to close a newer card than an older one)

Number of accounts, they want you to have a lot, over 12 I think is where it really positively impacts your score, and it can hurt you to only have a few

Anyway it's a complex system that's annoying and can be difficult to understand

Because credit is partially based on the age of your accounts, so if you've only got a few accounts and you close an older one (such as a car loan) it reduces the average age of your accounts and can hurt your score.

It's stupid

Nobody builds the spaceship. Nobody I know has ever built the ship, unless they were playing the save our ships mod (I think that's the mod name IDK I don't use that one) but then that's not end game

I just accepted that I will only ever lose and it's fine

There's this one McDonald's on this busy road where we live and I jokingly started calling the right lane the "McDonald's lane" because so many cars in that lane were always turning in. I realized earlier this week that these days most cars drive past instead.

We're just money cattle

Deadsy - Flowing Glower

One of my favorite songs by my favorite band

You don't even know the half of it, he played this MUD I was really into, his character's name was Vanmar, everyone hated him. Maybe a year or so before the pharmacy story broke he got perma banned from the game (oh god I'm gonna skim over a lot here, bear with me) he bought another player's super high skill character for iirc around 5k, went around bullying people who he couldn't take in pvp beforehand, then got the permanent ban for all of his accounts by forcibly role-playing a blowjob in a public area (a boat I think) on some other dudes character.

That was his second perma ban, he bought his way out of the first one, I don't recall how the first one came about.

Anyway, total twat. If you go deep in a search engine for Vanmar and DragonRealms you might find more info buried, a lot of its been lost to time and he bought one of the popular player forums around the game and locked it up so all that info is just lost.

Cis woman here, I not only have never been afraid of the possibility that a man might enter the woman's bathroom, if I ever encountered a man in the woman's bathroom I'd just assume they accidentally went in the wrong one or maybe it was a dad taking his daughter in or something similarly innocuous.

I really hope all trans women can feel safe one day entering the women's room (and trans men with the men's room) so they can use it in peace. Bathroom policers can fuck all the way off.
