I don't think the parent comment is passing blame on a particular generation -- they're simply blaming the state of the era we're living in, and the tools that are available to all of u…

Not really. I feel that’s still a far cry from “bring[ing] autonomous driving to personal vehicles”. “Enhance next-generation POVs” could be accomplished by bringing Toyota’s autonomous driving to the…

> Instead of finding an offer after 500 interviews, now you may have to do 400. Holy cow, is that really how many interviews it takes to get hired these days? It’s been about 10 years since I cha…

It should be pretty obvious, but… When social media started out, it was simply a feed of what you followed. FB, Twitter, Reddit, everything — they showed you a chronological list of everything that th…

I enjoyed both games, to an extent, but OMG, get ready to spend 90% of your time reading through the boring dialogue of the characters. I tried to follow it, and then I just started skipping through i…

Was going to post this if someone hadn’t already. The first game that came to my mind. Not only is the gameplay chill, but the music and sound effects, on their own, relax me. You could sleep to the O…

I love BotW and TotK. Definitely two of my favorite games, and two of the best games. And agreed that much of the exploration aspects are chill. But both games definitely have some frustrating element…

Maybe fewer vegans would be vegans if they knew that the farmers were prioritizing the wellbeing of the animals over their bottom line. And as long as you still have a bottom line while reducing anima…

Something is off with those first two pics. The orange already looks red, not orange — with or without the bag. If you look at the pic below where it shows the oranges in the store, they’re much orang…

These days, about the only liquid you can consume without controversy is water. Some say coffee is good for you (in moderation), some say it's bad for you. Some say certain alcoholic drinks are g…

I'm not sure why this is FP news. I knew "1/2" was being interpreted as "January 2" as soon as I saw the title. This is nothing new, or even particularly interesting -- E…

One quality of “tribal” that I think gets overlooked is that those that are part of a “tribe” are not willing to be wrong. I feel like those that are more in the middle - in addition to be “accidental…
