And MBAs to give the lawyers work while the "consumer" population foots the bill

That's awesome! Really enjoy the wooden aesthetic with your pencil/pen slots. I've only made large pencil holding bowls out of splinting material, but they really help in keeping everything more organized.

If I stay in school forever, I'll never pay it back. I'm taking these negative numbers with me to conscripted war and/or the grave!

They're stretching for distractions to make anything except for the ultra-rich look like the problem.

Ayy, rocking that futuristic G11. Awesome piece!

Still seems like a success compared to the space junk we have trying to fly out these days.

Power Armor was a reward for survival rather than a deliberate early-game event to show off the shiny coat of paint of graphics, animations, and a random deathclaw spawn to hide the fact that most of the classic RPG mechanics were removed or dumbed down for a Fallout-themed Borderlands game.

The very same people who call effective, government-provided housing "ugly" are the ones who pay almost several grand a month for a cubicle with paper-thin walls. Crazy world we live in.

We're all counting on you, Yugi Lightman!

Awesome design! Battle-hardened and armored-up

Oh no step-reddit!

20 hours of overtime might actually make my wages liveable, but I usually get yelled at by HR or a manager for going anywhere above full-time.

 

Was recently granted the privilege of a permanent ban on reddit for a username I had for over four years and it led me down the rabbit hole of seeing more and more claims from other people who went through similar experiences. Hell, there's a lot of them. Frivolous reports resulting in punishment, appeals being automatically denied, the works, etc.

It might just be a presumption, seeing how many bots slide under the radar each day on that site through posts and comments, but I have a strong feeling that most (seemingly random) admin bans are designed to flush out active and semi-active human users rather than weed out bot code posing as people online. The end goal? Whether it's to create an automated, cyclical platform designed to extract marketing and ad revenue from a steady stream of new users or anything else for that matter, I know not. All I know for certain is that the ban tendencies have ramped up in the recent year and the people actually being punished for it are those who have been using it for long periods of time and manage to conveniently fall on the edge of a subjective TOS offense.

I had my suspicions that it was gradually turning into an AI-fueled cesspit, but now I've had my chance to really believe that it has. Good riddance in that case
