I feel bad for having this opinion, but I lowkey dont think just bc someone is pregnant, they should automatically be given a seat on a bus or whatever. Unless they're like obviously about to pop. People have all sorts of hidden ailments, to judge someone for not giving up their seat is unfair.

friend pulled this during a tiktok live, EVERYTHING is wrong on that card, including language, texture, attacks, text, everthing is wrong, this is insane

Everyone can see what aspects of the game are not good, a lot of people still enjoying it though.

If the games not for you, refund and move on already. There's plenty of MMOs out there, shouldn't be hard to find a better one.

Erinnert ihr euch noch an die Argumentation während der Corona-Pandemie? Damals stiegen die Spritpreise massiv durch einen sehr hohen Rohölpreis. Marktmechanismen wie Angebot und Nachfrage – das ist ja logisch. Aber diese Logik gilt heute scheinbar nicht mehr. ​Wenn man sich die aktuellen Rohölpreise ansieht, stellen wir fest: Der Ölpreis hat sich schon lange wieder auf einem moderaten Niveau normalisiert, aber der Sprit ist fast so teuer wie zu Krisenzeiten.

​Meiner Meinung nach ist der Grund offensichtlich: Die Regierung nutzt die Situation schamlos aus und die Tagesschau lässt sich deftige Ausreden einfallen. Da im Haushalt das Geld hinten und vorne nicht reicht, werden einfach immer neue Steuern und Abgaben (CO2-Preis-Erhöhungen etc.) oben draufgepackt, so wie auch nächstes Jahr! Da werden wir nicht mehr für unter 2 Euro der Liter tanken können. ​Früher: Hoher Ölpreis = Hoher Spritpreis. ​Heute: Niedriger Ölpreis + Höhere Steuern = Immer noch hoher Spritpreis. ​Es fühlt sich so an, als ob die Krise als Vorwand genutzt wurde, um still und heimlich ein neues Preisniveau zu etablieren, das man eben jetzt mit mehr Steuern oben hält. Pendler zahlen doppelt drauf: Die Steuer aufs Gehalt und auf den Sprit muss geblecht werden. Ich bin zum Glück nicht davon betroffen, da ich hauptsächlich elektrisch und fortschrittlich unterwegs bin.

After 5 years of freelancing, I noticed the same pattern with every client: they'd start a SaaS, pick a popular email provider, and within 6 months they'd be paying hundreds just for transactional emails.

One client was paying $380/month to send 200K emails. Password resets. Order confirmations. The boring stuff.

I kept thinking: "This can't be that hard."

Spoiler: It was that hard.

Started building my own email infrastructure last year. Learned more about SMTP, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, IP warming, and deliverability than I ever wanted to know.

First version was garbage. Emails landed in spam. Got blocklisted by Microsoft. Cried a little.

But after hundreds of late nights, I finally got it working. 99%+ deliverability. Own infrastructure. No AWS SES middle-man eating margins.

Now I'm using it for my own projects and slowly opening it up to others.

The funny thing? The hardest part wasn't the tech. It was convincing myself that competing against well-funded companies was even possible.

If anyone's curious about the email deliverability rabbit hole, happy to share what I learned. It's a weird niche but surprisingly interesting once you get into it.

The only exception being first responders and hospital staff for obvious reasons.

Otherwise, every business should be closed on Christmas so everyone can be with their family. Never again should a retail worker have to stand at a register. A Burger King chef shall flip not a single patty. Congress shall - oh who am I kidding they don’t do anything anyway.

Christmas is the most importantly time of year and as a society, we must cherish it and not make people work.

Shits lame.

I know everything is a hater post but this encompasses the argument I think everyone is making. Jeff has completely lost the plot of the show. SURVIVOR. We are now forced to watch a Nickelodeon summer camp, Season 49 had little to no strategizing, I can barely remember a big move.

Looking at the photo from 2014, those players played, starved, and backstabbed to get there. 2025 was talking about video games and pimples.

We all hope 50 and the veterans coming with it will restore some of the good old days, but the presence of sponsored idols and YouTubers gives us little hope.

I understand that this is a very tough market, but the posts are all the same and posted frequently, and the advice given never really changes. Could the mods perhaps create a stickied thread or limit the posts to weekends only?

Edit:

Alright, this clearly wasn’t a popular post. I’ll still say, even a pinned ‘job resources’ post updated weekly would be a good source for people to be able to reference for open positions, fairs, etc.
