And killing fig trees

You forgot healthcare!

My kids played this co-op and loved it

Seemed like a pretty solid coop game to me!

I see where you’re going, I just don’t agree. I’d rather normalize having open conversations with your partner(s) about sensitive and taboo topics, which I think is a prerequisite for multiple partners anyway. (Two people in a relationship can be tricky enough. Attempting to deal with the insecurities, feelings, and values of multiple partners seems like it would require open dialogue to have any real chance of success.)

I have a knee jerk negative reaction to your argument because it sounds like “I’d like to sleep with multiple people but my partner is brainwashed by society/their friends to believe we shouldn’t have multiple partners. If society decided this was normal, I wouldn’t have to work through this difficulty.”

(I fully support people having multiple partners if that’s what they want to do.)

What’s to stop anyone today from having an open conversation with their partner about opening their relationship? In the examples above, no one is vilifying having an open relationship… it’s vilifying lying and dishonesty.

Even if we were to normalize infidelity, that doesn’t mean anyone should be beholden to accepting it in their relationship. Your argument is akin to saying “lying is widespread because it comes from human nature” so we should just normalize lying.

F that noise.

Limiting the scope doesn’t mean copying. It means keeping the feature list low so that you have something workable in a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise you’ll get overwhelmed and likely never finish.

This is one of the reasons I’m a big fan of the pico-8 “fantasy console”. It nearly forces you to limit the scope of your game. There’s plenty of interesting and fun games on that platform that are heavily limited in scope.

I read the original save the cat book for screenwriting and really liked it. None of it was groundbreaking but it did have some practical advice and it really became apparent just how many Hollywood movies follow the formula in the book.

So, plus one and maybe give the book a read!

Oh my god! I live here and have bees!

This is really cool! I’m still using the plastic foundation. How are you attaching these?

Unless you’re talking about somewhere other than the US or you have some crazy locality, this doesn’t sound right.

In the US, the employer is legally obligated to make up the difference between what the employee earned (wage plus claimed tips) and minimum wage. In fairness to your point, that’s not a big help since the federal minimum wage is a joke. If they’re failing to do that, they’re breaking the law.

Additionally, taxes should be a percentage of their earnings. How would they be ending up with zero dollar paychecks after 40 hours?

I can’t argue with that

As much as I’m not a fan of Trump, based on that snopes article and the context around what he said… it’s pretty obvious that he accidentally said country instead of something like company. He followed up with remarks that made it obvious he knew that it was a toy company.
