Super Mario World - just a fun game. Lots of little secrets and fun to speed run.

Titanfall - I played an absurd amount of this one and really wished there was a 3rd one. 1-2 remind me of the pattern seen in trilogys where 1 sets the stage, 2 deviaties pretty far and polarizes fans and then 3 uses the best of both while trying to feel more like 1. (Mario 1-3, Halo 1-3). My favorites in this pattern tend to be 3 so I'm disappointed I never got Titanfall 3.

Pubg - when it was new. Lost me years ago now but that first 6 months to a year was awesome. So many crazy games and absurd fun.

Take another job anyway. Your job search doesn't have to stop just because you started a new job. The change, even though it's not the end goal, might help. You might make more money, be able to set boundaries about effort/expectations early, and possibly find connections that will help you get to the end goal of finding something really new. Be honest in interviews too, really treat that like you are interviewing them and make your boundaries known where you can.

I've taken my own advice too. I never actually changed industries but was able to find something that worked for me. Plus I've met a lot of people along the way which has directly resulted in more and different job opportunities. Anyway, don't give up on the dream but do be flexible on how you get there.

You can't have counterculture without a strong prevailing culture. SLC pushes back in surprising ways small and large. Great to see it.

It's a map of the area and is not the whole universe. A cylinder is a reasonable way to depict the local area and putting our main reference point in the middle makes sense.

I've heard cafeteria christian for this. It really seems to apply to most religious people. They do what they want and pick and chose what doctrine works for how they actually want to live, then rationalize why that is OK. Some of that 'logic' is wild...

This is a joke ntended to illustrate the sometimes absurd oversimplification that has to be made to do certain calculations. An apple falls out of a tree from 20 feet off the ground, how long does it take to hit the ground. Well, what is the drag coefficient? Assume it's a sphere. OK, what about the texture, the air temp, wind, is the ground level and flat, etc etc. And as the problems increase in complexity the number of variables increases exponentially. So your professor might tell you to "Assume it is a spherical cow of uniform density“.

Often these estimates are actually quite good and trying to account for all variables isn't needed.

That feeling is interesting. I don't miss meat. I don't want sausage. I miss trying someone else's variation of something I like. Rubens are what I miss most in that way but biscuits and gravy are up there.

How do you think old people feel about all the actually old and saggy things? Our actual skin becomes something unrecognizable why would what's on it be expected to stay perfect?

Seriously! Don't store shit you don't actually use and better yet don't buy it in the first place! And sure, the random gadget is handy that one time per year, but the time saved that one time was completely negated by all the time spent digging through a mess.

I am proud to say that I don't have this drawer. I grew up in a house with this drawer and always hated it. Nothing new is added to the kitchen without considering the actual need and anything that goes unused for any length of time is getting reevaluated.

Could you un max out other areas? Eliminate duplicates elsewhere so things in this drawer could be moved to the newly made space?

They also wouldn't want to be ambiguous. If I was trying to write this problem the a, b, c... would get replaced by something like a_1, a_2,..., a_26 to be clearer. This problem works as a fun gotcha but isn't something that would come up in the real world.

“Like obviously we need to make people know things exist, it makes financial and logical sense, etc.“

Why is this obvious? I know it's so normal that me asking seems weird but, is this really how the world has to work? Can we not imagine a world without ads? I'd like to at least try.
