I am sure they were fine machines. I don’t think they were profitable for Valve (that is what I meant with “not worked out well”). On the other hand, the Steamdeck might not exist without the Steam Machines, so maybe I am wrong and it did work out well.
True. Better allaround.

Civilization XYZ / Colonization

And if I get desperate: Crysis and CoD.
When I last entered the US in 2009 they took my fingerprints and a photo. I assumed it to be mandatory.
I also had to “please follow me” to a backroom, but I kinda expected this as a muslim. Met some friendly mexican and pakistani people there, so it wasn’t that bad. I still decided to refuse all business trips to the US from that day on (and avoided tourist travel there as well), as I just didn’t feel safe.
Didn’t work out that well last time. But Valve got a lot better with Hardware since then.
The “management” should be seen as positions to help the employees to do their work properly, not to rule over them (but helping would necesarily need to include some level of reviewing the work and if really necesary organize disciplinary measures).
From my personal experience I defintly conclude that a company where the management serves the employees get better results than companies where managment are little wannabee generals.
(I am also currently middle management and hope I do this right.)
You both have valid points that are most likely both true.
Reality is more complicated thatn theories. Israel is a US vassal and completly depending on the US. The US needs Israel to assert power in the region. Israeli actors are influencing US politics. US actors have personal interests in Israel. US actors are depending on pro-zionist fundamentalist christian groups. Israeli actors are controlling parts of the US entertainment and news production. Other local players in the region depend on the US and thus support Israel to secure their own power. Racism in the general public is also part of this (some headlines produce more click, than others). And so on and on.
Imo these are all correct assumptions, but even this doesn’t show the whole picture. Reality is too intervowen to completly access it in simple terms.
The thing is also, the models work reasonably well on the global scale, but the local scale is something different. Whoever did work in climate change impacts knows that we still work mostly in darkness and just try to prepare for the worst.
The climate is no simple thing. Who knows, maybe some weird shit with the ocean will happen and increase the rainfalls over northern africa by 500% and the Sahara becomes a jungle. Probably unlikely, but we don’t really know.

I personally don’t really care that much, but I guess this is mostly about “living stuff out openly” vs. “keeping your fetish in non-public spaces”.
Yes, there are public mermaid events, but I don’t think those are perceived as less weird.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is really cool, I wish there were more modern reinterpretations of it, though.
They are literally citing the Jeruslame post, a conservative pro-zionist media… You are lost.
Germany often abstained in critical UN votes regarding Israel and Palestine. E.g. here or here.
And german “intellectuals” are already in the “it is not binding” mode… Germanies political and media class is lost, completly detached from the constituency, who is against the genocide by a large margin.
Same for me with python, I always fall back to R after 10 minutes of trying to do it in python. :)
Getting a restraining order against someone, because they said“stay the fuck out of my life” is so dumb. Sorry, I had to laugh. Hope you sorted that out and can live your life safely.
Is it better than R? I am not so much into python (too embedded in R).
I use posteo.de which costs 1€/month. It is simple, but works fine.

Doctors without Borders: https://www.msf.org/
Both should be safe from landing you on a list. But tbh, who knows nowadays?
The problem is not so much that donations are missing, but that Israel blocks the aid. Despite that, donating is still important.
Doctors without Borders would also know, if nurses are needed, and more importantly, if nurses can get into Gaza. You should know that health care workers (including Doctors without Borders personell) has constanly been directly targeted by the Israeli airforce and you would, without a doubt, be in life threatening danger. More than 880 health care workers have been killed by now (https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/our-response-israel-gaza-war).
It’s been ten years and we’ve got two now, but I think you can still congratulate. :)
Lol, I am currently at my first playthrough. How could I forget it?
