This is a dumb take. A “gifted” kid is literally one who doesn’t have to try as hard as the other kids. Busting your ass comes later once you age out of grade school and have to develop personal discipline and systems and that is where most “gifted” kids fail because excelling in education has been so easy for them so far.

Not sure what you’re talking about. Since the summer it’s just been post about Dems and how Republicans are weirdos. Honestly, the socialist presence on Lemmy is lacking.

It’s not really making a comment on whether they could have addressed it before it broke the camel’s back either. It’s simply saying this is the last slight I will take.

If you go through life not ever taking any bs, you definitely will not be able to hold a job. Or function in general really.

Based. I hope they didn’t get fired.

They are 20 years old at this point but the original Guild Wars was full of pop culture references.

It’s painfully obvious lemmy is overrun with astroturf. Kamala spam has been oppressive and it’s just cringe most of the time. I refuse to believe that most of the real users here are that cringe. Also, I support Kamala.

There is a Seinfeld episode about this.

Obamacare really fucked up the health insurance market. Open enrollment is because of Obamacare. Obamacare was written by the insurance lobby. They created a porous law and likely already had ideas to exploit it before it passed. And they have. It has been an incredible boon to them and Americans have suffered. Healthcare was NOT this expensive before Obamacare and insurance wasn’t this complicated and was more affordable too.

Obamacare is the biggest piece of regulatory capture in our lifetime, and in a time of rampant regulatory capture, that’s saying a lot. It also showcases why our 2 party system is just broken. When the so called left option can produce such a broken capitalist piece of legislation.

Nah, they failed because of the Saturn which is one of the worst console flops in history. Dreamcast was just a last ditch effort to regain relevancy and beat the other guys to the punch. Too late once the PS1 was successful.

Also, Genesis was more appealing to adults. That’s why it competed with the SNES so well. American adults at the time (prime aged boomers) were much more won over by Genesis’s more mature marketing and appeal to American values versus Nintendo which was decidedly marketed to children.

If they had released later it would have been worse. Sega’s downfall was the Saturn which was just garbage compared to the N64 and PS1. Dreamcast was their last ditch effort to release a truly next-gen system before the big boys rocked up with all their cash.

Haha, no mother. It’s just the Northern Lights.

Not gaming related.

No true Italian

Yes but our current society vests power in the corporation doing the killing. It’s a problem as old as civilization, but one we still haven’t solved. The problem is that these institutions and the technology they wield has never been greater.

The sticker reads “PIG - Pretty Insensitive Guy.” It should instead be “Petty Insensitive Guy”

Doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings so there’s no point.

Just another reactionary. Probably bought into hating vegans because it’s cool on the internet and decided to do a little rl trolling.

When every company is a democracy you might have a point, but until then you’re talking about eliminating the one oversight management has.
