Paradox CEO admits company made "wrong calls in several projects" in wake of Life By You's cancellation
  • Baffling that they canceled the project when the target audience for such a game is so hungry for something other than an EA product.

    I woulda thought that Paradox would have the right stuff to do a Sims-esque game considering their experience with character driven emergent storytelling in Crusader Kings.

  • What's with all the hate for Chinese phones?
  • I want a Chinese phone so badly, but I live in the USA so I think I'm SOL.

    My Note 20 5g Ultra is starting to break down in certain places and the economy isn't what it used to be, so I'm not eager to spend another thousand plus dollars on a phone. There's plenty of great looking Chinese phones that go for like £200 in the UK that I'd love to consider, but it's just not an option here and the comparable Samsung device is a grand or more over that.

  • Is he attracted to me?
  • Well you specifically said you're not looking for advice and what not, so I won't give any, but I do think when we're attracted to someone we tend to interpret very small behaviors as cues that confirm our own desires, a kind of confirmation bias, when they're actually just normal behaviors. That said, there's only a few ways to confirm your suspicions...

  • Is he attracted to me?
  • These interactions are too casual to really show an interest.

    They sound like how I might act towards someone I see in the grocery store twice.

    I get the impression you're interested in him from this more than any indication of the opposite.

  • A national tragedy happened this morning
  • The existence, location, use and status of the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile was deemed a matter of National Security during the Bush Administration as part of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.

  • This is no longer a safe space
  • Hey, reading through this thread alone and the drama it surround and I just wanted to say

    Thank You.

    It's clear you put a lot of time, thought and effort into moderating this instance and that you have to put up with a lot of trying things. It doesn't seem easy and I think you're doing a great job.

    I just wanted to make sure it isn't literally thankless.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I dunno if I hate Google, but I've grown tired of their bullshit. I use their products, but mostly because they've become the default solution being so feature rich and widely used. They've leveraged that to bog them down with ads and Spyware and THAT I despise.

  • Galaxy Z Fold 6 Review: Genuinely good, especially if you ignore the competition
  • I'm looking at the line up of foldables and wondering

    1. do I even really need one? I kinda want one, they look cool, but is it really that much better than a normal phone?

    2. should I even consider the Galaxy when the Honor V3 looks like it's comparable specs with better battery and a thousand dollars cheaper?

    Tho the latter requires figuring it how to get and use one in the US.

  • Majority of Democrats think Kamala Harris would make a good president, AP-NORC poll shows
  • This kinda feels like a "Just Following Orders" point.

    If I were asked to do something as unethical as promote slavery or participate in a process that accomplished that, I'd refuse and resign.

    On one hand, I understand that this kind of behavior is wildly common in the American justice system and far more people than just Harris are complicit in these sorts of abject horrors. She's not special for this.

    But on the other, I still think it requires a certain lack of morality and contempt for humanity to be a willing participant in it.

  • Pissing in Stainless Steel Sinks is Better than Ceramic BECAUSE of the Audible Report.

    The audible report of your pee smashing into the free-floating thin stainless steel is desirable in the way that it informs others you are sink pissing. The ceramic bowl preference shown in this community is a sign of cowardice and shame in one's true self.

    It has the added benefit of scaring away predators and attracting sexual partners.

    Piss proud. Piss loud.

    Looking for Recommendations on High Gloss Black Primer

    I got an idea to some candy coated metals and I'm looking to see if I can find a good recommendation on a super fine black gloss primer in a rattle can.

    I got this can of Behr Premium from Home Depot, but I think the paint is a tad thick and I was hoping for a glossier finish.

    Any y'all got any recommendations? I was also considering trying an automotive primer because I figured they'd be glossier.
