Treat it objectively and ignore that it’s a Final Fantasy game.

I loved it. Everything from the story to the music to the combat. I bought and played through both DLCs as well. For me, it is the perfect mix of a great movie and great video game.

I was originally in bupropion for my anxiety and it does help. I also take concerta after being diagnosed with ADHD, but bupropion absolutely helps with anxiety.

Have you tried Wellbutrin[Buproprion]?

Exactly. IP law is foundational to any functioning market economy. Reform == Delete

Everyone suffers. Now that work has ramped back up post pandemic, it is very apparent how our talent pools have been impacted.

It’s the worst kind of problem: hard to fix and slow to show fairly significant consequences.

Feel like I have the same argument at work everyday. Some things just take a definitive time. 20 cooks won’t make a cake faster. Cooking that cake at 1000 degrees won’t make it faster. It will take the time it takes.

This is the best answer.

Slow down your thinking and consider this: why would any practical person fully develop something without getting market feedback and understanding demand?

This is by the book “Preto-typing”. You can frame it as lying, but the reality is Apple had faith that all of the “faked” features in the demonstration would be fully developed before launch.

IBM did something similar before voice-to-text existed. They faked the technology during market research and discovered that people didn’t enjoy speaking to their computer as much as initially thought. It showed them that they could better invest that money elsewhere.

It would make zero sense and be a foolish use of capital to fully develop a product that complex and expensive without understanding market preferences.

This is a non-story, rage-bait headline.

My take is that Excel is great for people to throw together quick and efficient tools for their own use. The problem is when these get distributed and then everyone uses something that has no version control or QA/QC.

I see this a lot because an engineer gets annoyed with IT or existing software restrictions and learns enough VBA to be dangerous. (Spoiler, it me.)

Sneeze every time you go down

I’m skeptical of a 1000 person survey, especially when overall home sales are still down.

That being said, some people may be getting tired of waiting and willing to gamble on refinancing with favorable interest rates in the future.

Value is subjective, and some people value convenience more than the cost of delivery.

Anyone that bought when rates were still 2-3% isn’t selling unless they’re being forced. Why would they, considering their real interest rate is negative at this point.

This is a non-headline because it’s reporting on something that was expected to happen when interest rates rose.

That being said, this does suck for those who have yet to purchase their first home. Property investors buying with cash have no incentive to stop buying. This is where government should step in and regulate. Those conversations should be headlining instead.

Didn’t Teddy Roosevelt implement wealth taxes via the Estate Tax and Capital Gains Tax?

These aren’t exactly new ideas. We’ve just slowly dismantled them over the past decades.

My summary of his book is that people rise to power by contributing to the greater good. They empathise with those around them and are likeable. Power is thus given to them by others.

The paradox is that it’s been suggested by several studies that those that gain power (or those that feel powerful) tend to be less empathetic and focus more on themselves.

He does not prescribe to the Lord of the Flies world view.

Keltner’s The Power Paradox covers this phenomenon. As we rise in power and influence, it is very easy to lose those same qualities that allowed us to gain power in the first place.

The Spider-Man games on PS5 have great storytelling.

Cyberpunk 2077

God of War and God or War Ragnarok

• I believe both of these have settings that can reduce the “bloodiness”

Destiny 2…… lmao j/k

Red Rising would be a phenomenal TV show.

Mistborn and Stormlight Archive from Sanderson would also be incredible.

That’s interesting, thanks for bringing that up! Just goes to show that there are always multiple sides and layers to every issue.
