It might be funny to hear but I am specialized in vr. Well, I could criticize it in many ways. In the case of this picture, it’s comparable to people being excited about GMO, but being against it because of how capitalism manages to fuck it up.
That’s a great link. There’s just so many people exactly like him.
I can recommend norsemen. It’s a series, though.
There’s worse things to be called I suppose
Yeah not the best design
It’s good that you managed to wake up and take care of yourself. Players with that pattern are called dolphins.
You’re a non-monetizer, just like 95% of the players. The game will make you some form of offer in order to convert you into a paying minnow, dolphin or whale. Whales are rare, less than a percent of the players, but they generate a significant amount of the revenue.
Companies compare their conversion rate with each other and have specific goals to meet. 5% for example is good. If your company has say 3%, you’ll want to focus on improving that. Each product will have a specific goal here, and otherwise is shut down because there’s a customer acquisition cost. Games easily cost more to market than to develop.
A lot of effort is spent on the first offer. This is where you’ll see a screen that makes an amazing offer you’ll seriously consider. It’ll have something that is high value but incredibly cheap and so temporary. This isn’t to earn money, it’s simply to convert you. Because after you’ve spent your first dollar you’re likely to keep spending.
Many game companies specifically target vulnerable people, who end up spending their entire pay check every month, and are called Whales.
Wait until you hear the problems
I’m from the Netherlands so I can give you my perspective of what it’s like here. Cultures are complex and nuanced so I hope I’m able to explain it, and of course it is only my own view.
People here openly flaunt authority. But it isn’t really something you do, it’s something you are. It’s just natural and even expected of you. People also don’t tend to mince words and will often tell you what they think. It’s not rude, it’s a sign of respect to be forward.
Since I work internationally that can sometimes lead to interesting situations. In their culture it might be final when a boss says what should be done. For me it is completely natural to say it makes no sense and we should continue the meeting or reconvene later.
Politeness is not really much of a concept here. If you are being polite you’ll run into misunderstandings with people. They’ll full on simply not understand what you are talking about if you’re being indirect.
We have formal and casual pronouns. If you use the formal ones, almost everyone will stop you. It will make them uncomfortable. Even if the relation is professional.
Talking to say a dentist or cop feels like talking to family you don’t know so well. I once called the cops and she calmed me in a motherly way and then shared her business ideas for my business and told me she’d come visit with her entire family that weekend.
Bosses are an interesting topic. Everyone will pretend like everyone is equal, but of course the boss still secretly has control, and politics are a thing.
I’m not into Dutch politics but I know the prime minister rides a bicycle to work and I don’t think he has a security detail.
Anyway, that’s the general feeling I get, but of course people come in all shapes and sizes just like anywhere else.
Also I wanted to say that afaik the Indian classes were supercharged by the British. Perhaps because of their own class structure or perhaps to divide and conquer. That might be something interesting to look into.
Thanks for the tip I might definitely do that. That being said vitamin k and spinach are just examples, I can’t recall exactly what it was. But I do know I’ve looked it up many times over the years, and every time came to the conclusion that I should ignore whatever the values said, because it made no sense at all. Like who knows perhaps it was kale or sum.
Every single day. And then there’s still other vitamins to cover.
I’m not sure but I do know that my consent is worth more than my privacy.

That’s all good but why does it sound like you’re punishing yourself by taking a pay cut and working 16 hour days? Can’t you get on disability? You can for example be 20% disabled or 40%. This will allow you to work normal hours, have a normal income and extra rights and benefits. You might want to call your municipality and ask what’s possible and get informed.
