GOG might disappear, but your games won't. If Steam disappears, your games will become inaccessible.
It didn't stop in the 70s. In many countries in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere, it's still common for businesses to retain employees over the arc of their career.
This was my general experience as well. The very best quality education I ever received was in my 7th grade math class, followed closely by my 7th grade English class. I did have some very excellent university classes…
I would agree if it were applied equally across the board. I see no clear reason why "transgender rights, immigration or homosexuality" should specifically be spared from moderation, while other speech remains subject…
I am a dual citizen, and I have not found this to be the case in either of my two countries. Neither of them will accept photo IDs issued by the other, except for passports.
Introversion level is really just a measure of how much social stimulation you require on average. Everyone has some level above which they feel exhausted and below which they feel lonely/bored.
Over my life, I have made plenty of friends both at work and outside of work — but NONE of them had no interests outside of work. That's not to say that I've never had coworkers whose only interest was work. I just…
AKC golden retrievers are very badly inbred (they are 27.3% inbred, according to the raw data from this study: https://cgejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40575...) — two random "unrelated" golden retrievers…
My mom is obese because she developed an autoimmune disorder while she was pregnant with me that attacks her thyroid. She has extremely abnormal thyroid cells that have to be biopsied twice a year and she has to take…
Did you have any withdrawal symptoms after stopping alcohol so suddenly?
I am aware that this is the norm. It's not just language production; lots of things we do are done by seemingly unconscious parts of our brains, even though they feel like conscious choices we make. I am open to the…
My workplace offers both WFH and in-office work (our choice). Before COVID, most people worked in the office, but COVID forced everyone to get set up for and used to working at home. One of the funniest changes that…
Competing very effectively in many cases. I personally have not seen that workaholic employees get consistent preference in workplaces. Often they get shafted the hardest, particularly in highly competitive workplaces…
If you wish to maximize A, you will need to lower your standards for B, C, and D. This is the nature of any selection process: choosing a home to buy, breeding crops, writing legislation, etc. It us no less true for…
The size of the nestbox can be a factor as well. If the nestbox is too large for the breed of chicken you keep, it encourages them to hang out inside it, and they walk on the eggs and get them dirty. If a nestbox is the…
Another potential factor are estrogen-mimicking endocrine disruptors that are found in many widely used plastics.
In my experience, being in a stable monogamous relationship makes it easier to be friends with the opposite sex because it reinforces that it is strictly platonic. It works especially well if they are also in…
I think this is a good policy, but keep in mind that addictive tendencies vary a lot between different people. This talk may not be enough for a lot of kids and it will be unnecessary for other kids. For example, my…
Why is the effect concerning? If you pour water on undyed cloth, it has the same effect and makes the cloth much more transparent, but that doesn't mean that the water is damaging to the cloth.
I guess I am just picky, but I have a very hard time finding books that I want to read. I find the great majority of books either tedious or eye-rolling, and sometimes both. Unfortunately, the books I like reading the…
Reading a book isn't much of time investment, either, depending on how quickly you read. I read most novels in just a few evenings (sometimes just a single evening if I'm really into it), and then I'm out of books I'm…
I have accidentally signed up for Prime three times. Two of the times I realized it right away and immediately cancelled — but the third time, I just happened to notice several days later that I unexpectedly had access…
At least for me, this is even worse. I would rather have a clear separation between the content being foisted on me and the content I'm there to actually see.
Taking her remains without the knowledge and consent of her next of kin is surely illegal. If I put a corpse in a warehouse for a year while the family was begging me to tell them where their loved one was, I would…
That is potentially extremely dangerous for the person they mistook you for as well, and they would have NO way to notice it and fix it. Catching that mistake possibly saved both of your lives!
