I feel bad for calling in sick because my department is horrifically understaffed and 1 person not showing up for work increases the workload of everyone else by about 50%. And since it's a hospital, it's not like we can just continue working like normal and let the company eat the profit loss; if our department is not working at 100% then innocent people's health suffers.

This is the result of using black and white terminology for something that is a fluid scale. Square peg meets circle hole (although this guy definitely knows his holes).

Am I the only one who can still have fun while dialing it back a bit? Just "fumble" a few times, fall behind intentionally, and then use your skill to catch back up. If you can't catch up, your friends win and have fun. If you do catch back up, your friends think it was a close game. Either way you get to flex and nobody thinks you're a sweaty tryhard and we all get to have fun.

"observing changes the result" doesn't mean conciousness attempting to look at it changes the result, there is nothing special about conciousness (in quantum mechanics)

"observing changes the result" means we try to measure atoms and fields but unfortunately our measurement tools are also made out of atoms and fields which interact with the atoms and fields we are trying to measure, giving us a different result than if we don't attempt to measure it

It does bring up interesting questions about what the "real" behavior of reality is tho, since anything we observe is technically different than what it would be if left alone. We can only ever know what a slightly altered state of reality is

Was that knight planning on just charging head first into what he perceived to be a stone castle wall?

I'm gonna make my own (thing)! With blackjack! And hookers!... In fact, forget the (thing)!

it can be used in so many contexts and the last line usually gets a laugh.

this is very ominous without the image

OW2 is free, they're probably referring to buying OW1 only for them to shut it down and rerelease the same exact game but with battlepass characters.

I don't care how true or false this report is, FINALLY something different and interesting appears on my Everything feed. It's refreshing to be able to read a well put-together (if a little LARPy) post with an active comment section that isn't about linux or elon musk.

a gun that makes holes

not bullet holes

I might be wrong, but aren't whales the target demographic for microtransactions? It's not like the majority of players are buying them. It's a "vocal" minority that make the business model viable via insane spending habits and the rest of us just have to deal with it.
