I think the trailer and Steam page makes it pretty clear that this isn’t just aimed at furries. Not that furries won’t jump on it - we will, but it’s not just for furries.

Checks out, that’s about what a house cost in 1979.

$14.99 in 1979? Christ. You could just about buy a house for that.

Wouldn’t you be least likely to die if you were, say, in a coma, under 24/7 medical surveillance in a hospital, or some other similar circumstance? Being out in public at all raises the probability of dying, so how would you ever go out? You wouldn’t be able to use a knife, or even scissors. You’d never be able to interact with anyone online - there’s a non-zero chance that someone takes such offense with what you say that they find where you live and come hunt you down, so it’s safer - infinitesimally so, but safer - to just not go online at all.

What I’m getting at is, the scenario you’ve laid out with the bounds you’ve set just means you’d have the worst life imaginable. At least you’d be alive, though?

Really impossible to say because, to reiterate the point the post you’re replying to made, the media is not covering protests like it was in 2017. There have been multiple protests in all 50 states, some very large, but the word just isn’t getting out about them.

There was a post some time ago where someone mentioned going to the doctor for an employer-mandated sick note and the doctor was so irritated by it, that they wrote the note demanding 3 days of bed rest, rather than the 1 that had originally been requested. Thought that was pretty classy.

This is employer dependent in the US, too. I can Slack my boss and say “I’m feeling under the weather, going to unplug and rest today,” and she’ll say “Okay, no problem, feel better!”, and that’s the end of the conversation. Definitely the exception to the rule, though; I think OP’s situation is much more common.

It’s a hex placed on their family line in generations past, for some unknown sleight committed against a witch or something. They’re cursed to forever burn any food they try to cook.

Maybe the dad doesn’t know how to cook, either. It’s just a whole family tree of dads who can’t cook.

9/11/2001 is the date the simulation was turned on. Everything prior to that is just programmed memories and fabricated history.

Which sounds worse:

• From the late 1900s
• From last century

Depends on the puzzle; it’s certainly possible to design Sudoku puzzles that necessitate guessing, but most do not. It’s possible you’re just not familiar with some of the more complex ways to make deductions.

Maybe check this list - it could be that your puzzle requires some of the more advanced techniques that you aren’t using.

Your coloration took an innocent map of Europe and somehow made the thumbnail look dirty. Good job!

Ah yes, Android, the obscure non-conformist indie option. 🙄

“Why didn’t you share it with the rest of the family, you selfish little shit?”

I’d much rather someone who actually needs the money enough to pick up small change takes them rather than for them to just sit there. If someone’s desperate enough to fish coins out of a fountain for a few dollars, they can absolutely have them.

If you send an important email, text, whatever and do not get a reply for hours you know that at least today that person is not being attentive to work

This might be industry specific, but for me it’s the exact opposite. If I respond to emails or slack messages immediately, it’s probably because I don’t have anything important that I’m working on, or that I’m just browsing Lemmy or something. If it takes me an hour to respond, it’s because I was head-down on something and didn’t want the interruption by changing focus to something different.

Well, I’m sold!

It’s time sensitive - she needs someone to fill this position right now. If it’s so time sensitive, she might be willing to pay more than she normally would to get someone to do so.

Sounds to me like she put her cards on the table and gave you a nice bargaining chip when it comes time to discuss compensation.
