Achievements or multiplayer matching not being implemented in the game itself isn’t on GOG. They still allow you to download and launch any game you’ve bought, without even requiring galaxy.
Also lesser known is the fact that there are DRM-free games on steam. Download them once, you can play without having steam running or even installed. Using a client to download isn’t inherently DRM either.
I recall two enjoyable books, both by Morton Rhue, being boot camp and the wave (and one that I liked but most people didn’t, kafka’s metamorphosis. Sure didn’t like having to interpret that though).
At least early on they tried making us read enjoyable books, as in modern books aimed at teenagers, they just… weren’t very good.
I think the peak of unenjoyment for me was Das Parfüm, which is technically somewhat modern. I tried reading it and was so bored I just couldn’t continue, ended up reading a synopsis somewhere and pretended to know what i was talking about.
At least it never killed reading for me because by the time school made me read books I was already reading fantasy novels in my free time anyway.
Personally I just like my colleagues so it’s fun to be around them for the most part, and there are better lunch options around the office in my case (plus I’d never bother going somewhere when I’m home anyway). It being easier to just quickly ask a question is nice too. Also gets me actually out of the house and cycling for ~40 minutes a day. I also get way more done at work because working at the same pc I spend 90% of my free time at is not great at motivating my brain to do work.
Still, if I didn’t have the option to just stay home when I don’t feel like going to the office/am waiting for a package or something, I’d find that very annoying.
Shorting, crypto trading, options are all gambling. Long term investments are usually not.
One is hoping that the price will go a certain way in the short term. The other is giving a company money so they hopefully turn it into more money. that is the difference, nothing to do with casinos.
So how do you suggest the journalists pay their rent exactly?
I also do that. I’ve missed appointments because of it even. I’ve learned to just repeat in 24 hour format and get a confirmation to make sure I didn’t fuck it up (helps that I live in a country where 24 hour is the default in everything other than speech, where it’s mixed, so there’s 0 chance the other person will have trouble with 24 hour time).
It’s an issue of political will, because it’s perfectly possible to keep cycling possible even in those conditions, but yea as long as that isn’t there you can’t always.
Yeah I know, I just meant to state I can see where the initial doubt comes from. I already saw the study further up and the reasoning makes sense.
Though I think with dieting in particular general trends are very hard to apply to individuals (most obvious offender being BMI).
Yea i can absolutely see that. Though it’s also understandable to doubt it because personally it just doesn’t apply - which I think is largely because I don’t changr my portion sizes, and I’m probably not the only one. I make food and eat all of it, and I usually eat 2 meals a day + sometimes breakfast. I’ve found that delaying food intake for as long as possible leads to me eating less overall and losing weight.
In my case, eating breakfast or not is more of a result of how much I ate the previous day.
They’re nowhere near the top if you relate it to size though (and also next to none of it is electrified, which is a pretty good indicator of it being mostly old - after all, rail is what even allowrd the country to be built).
But also it’s a joke
Oh no, a typo from hitting a key right next to the intended key, this has never happened in the history of journalism!
So can A4, or A5, or any of them because they all have the same ratio.
But the size does make a point for sure.
When it’s only one parent as in the case that allegedly inspired this law, that becomes less of an issue and i’d see it entirely as a positive. When it’s both parents… as fucked as this sounds, it’d probably have to depend on the details whether taking the child to a foster home would help, but usually probably not. They’re already traumatized at that point and taking them away from both parents would likely just traumatize them further.
Note: am not a psychologist this is mostly conjecture from what ive picked up
All communist countries i know of went into authoritarianism along the way. There’s this weird idea that communism can be implemented through creating an authoritarian state that then abolishes itself, turns out the people in power generally don’t want to give it up, who would’ve thought.
Fwiw I disagree with a lot of assumptions in marxism and some of the conclusions and am overall more of a social capitalist but it’s pretty true that there hasn’t been a truly communist country yet. But I’m fairly sure the same could be said of true pure capitalism anyway.
Things have definitions. A scotsman is a scottish person, which is why no true scotsman is about claiming someone isn’t scottish for their behavior instead of simply their nationality (ignore further issues of self identity etc here).
Communism similarly has a definition and just because you claim to be one doesn’t mean you are one. Just like a country isn’t a democracy just because it calls itself democratic.
I’m from the country that spawned nazis lol, pretty sure if you’re going that route you’re the unqualified one for not being german.
Violence works great for keeping people out of political discourse (part of how the nsdap rose to power), it doesn’t work to have them consider changing their minds.
Oh, I read that as “Donating that” where that=blood. Explains a lot, yea. The limit here in germany for blood was very few times per year too. Plasma was allowed a lot more frequently though.
…what? Donating blood is a perfectly common thing in “civilization” including spain. The benefits to the recipients far outweigh the risks to the donator.
You’re also making an awful lot of assumptions about me, given that i went to demos against a far right party here before lmao
Btw, how the fuck would i know if ppl got violent against hateful shitheads in some other country and especially what the shitheads’ reaction was (even if it’s fairly obvious)
It’s more that those things likely never crossed anyones mind during development. A lot of everyday things you just assume are the way they are where you live everywhere, until you see they aren’t. And even being aware of that you are always going to miss things.
I doubt this had any actual influence on which studio ended up working on the game, but it is a nice side effect.
