We as a society need to start defining our damn acronyms. Stop assuming everyone knows what every acronym is, because they do not.

If the owner of the company wasn’t trying to heil a cab on the national stage, people wouldn’t be doubting these EVs nearly as much.

Not that they’re particularly high quality anyway.

I’m really not sure which one you mean, because they own interest in a ton of companies.

Hank Scorpio did nothing wrong.

Agreed. Good instructors tell you to run if you can, and teach you to fight if you have to.

I support it at face value, but as someone who knows little about what this exactly means/involves - what are the risks for misuse by others if everything becomes publicly available and stops making developments?

Payday loans don’t suggest this. Those are predatory businesses aimed at the poor and desperate.

When you’re one month from disaster and you break a leg, it’s a payday loan or your family doesn’t have a home/food when you work a job without paid leave. And good luck with the disability approval, because even if it eventually comes through, you are on the hook until it does.

Being poor has very little to do with budgeting. I’m sure a substantial portion, if not the majority of them, could figure out how to budget with a $100k income instead of a $30k income.

Why would I pay more for x company to have a robot half ass the work of all the employees they’re gonna cut?

How about no means no, Google?

I started learning guitar again with the additional time, after a 13 year period of not taking it seriously.

Thanks for being trash, reddit. It was exactly what I needed to get my ass moving and doing something more worthwhile.

Big ol’ post below:

Every LARP has a different system, which in our game is light-touch(1) and kinda light-hearted. We use latex weapons like those from Forgotten Dreams and Mytholon (two manufacturers I know of off hand), and there’s a hit point system, and vocally called damage and skills with different effects.

Example: Hitting an opponent and calling “Strength 5” indicates to the opponent that they need to take 5 steps away from the attacker in the direction the attacker chooses. They also take basic weapon damage of 1 HP in this transaction.

While every LARP has its own system, there is a lot of overlap because of the limitations presented by a physical (ie. in-person) system. You can do a way larger swath of things in a tabletop.

Look for LARPs in your area online, and I’m sure you’ll find a few.

(1)Different games handle it differently, but we have players stemming from single digits to upper double digits, and we try to be accommodating to the needs of a diverse age group with varying degrees of disability.

Seriously, you’d think people could just be happy for someone’s happiness, instead of being miserable. I’m over those feelings. You don’t have to like the same stuff to get along.

Primary motto: Do your best not to hurt anyone, but otherwise do what you want. Enjoy life while you have it.

Secondary motto: Enjoy seeing other people’s happiness. Sometimes giving up something (small) you want for someone else to have something they really want (or even need) feels even better.

Have fun, and do good. Thanks for your kind words 😊

Red Dead Redemption 2 for so many reasons.

I’m a semi-secretive LARPer. I pack my stuff at night, don’t talk to my coworkers about it, and just go about my life as if I don’t.

I’ve found people are pretty judgy about it, so I just don’t mention that I enjoy getting into a neat costume, playing some little mini-games, having a drink or six, camping, and (most importantly) seeing my friends once a month in a structured activity.

It’s fun stuff if you find the right group. That last part is hard.

I was just commiserating with my wife about how we both exhibit a bunch of signs of ADHD but can’t get medicated because doctors are highly discouraged from prescribing them, because of the misuse associated with them.

GPs won’t prescribe them because of societal pressure, and yet there is also a nationwide shortage of psychiatrists.

The end result is that people who need something to get them to baseline suffer because politicians need to make a hammer-style policy for a scalpel-style problem.

What do you have? Maybe I’ll make it two.
