Baguette

Yea valve has been pushing for punishing bad behavior, which is good on them (I remember the coal incident). It's still a complicated task, but at least they're trying things that seem to stick rather than riot (like them trying to change certain pings to be party only which was really stupid)

I guess my phrasing is a bit off, sorry. They've tried to address it. It just hasn't worked that well (for example, they decided to add a bait ping that looked like a fishing hook, but players decided it was used moreso as a noose). The community is still as toxic as ever. Nothing's really going to change other than some more banned words and maybe some changes to how pinging works (which is another toxicity problem)

"I hope europe yourself" is the exact phrase I heard

Guess I shouldve given context, it is a bit harder to see out of context haha

Mobas (and team games in general) have an inherent issue where people dont like to be losing, and when they are, they usually find an outlet by blaming the rest of the team.

Its a pretty huge problem in league because

1. Behavior problem. Riot has like never addressed the toxicity issue. They've basically said heres some banned words and thats it. People can get by either griefing in game (which has been essentially unpunished) or by typing in non bannable ways (i remember seeing someone using europe as a uhh... You know)
2. Game design problem. League is pretty punishing when it comes to losing. You're stuck in a game you dont want to play, esp if your team holds you hostage by not surrendering intentionally. There's no fast way to get into a new game. You have to finish this, lose lp (ranked point system in league), and then possibly run into the same situation again. This isn't really riot's fault. This is just a flaw of mobas that no ones learned to really fix yet

Kid me was pretty stupid. My mom, sister, and I went on a trip to Hawaii with my mom's coworker. At that time, I was really bad at swimming. One of the beach trips we went to snorkel. I was left unsupervised for a while and ended up following a sea turtle way too far out. I ended up getting water in the breathing tube, and I panicked. I think I was flailing around for about two minutes going up and down the surface of the water until my mom's coworker noticed and dragged me back to shore. Was pretty sure I would've just drowned if no one noticed.

Chinatown is a more unique environment. Lots of foot traffic, sidewalk vendors, and really tight knit community. Its not a scaleable solution though. Hard to make that kinda of super dense area everywhere

I wonder if they're including those that are living in internet cafes and such. I remember that being a pretty prevalent problem a bit back. Wikipedia says they counted it on 2007, but no notes of whether they continue to include them or not as homeless.

Not discounting their achievement though, they have their shit together, at least way more than the US

Cleaver is a bit more wide to be better at cutting through bone and stuff. I'd say its closer to a santoku knife though usually the tip is more tapered downwards

Good for you! I'm still waiting for the day the tech world unionizes and push back on the recent horrendous decisions

Yes and no. In a perfect world, people would be able to uphold their ethics. Unfortunately, in the real world, people don't have that luxury. A job is their lifeline to basic necessities, and sacrificing their job might mean going to debt for many. Especially if you are young and without many options due to the lower level pullback in the tech sphere.

The issue is that people who find an issue with it and don't want to do it will get told off by management. Then management just replaces them with someone who is willing to do it (for job safety, or simply because they don't care)

Thats just how big tech is

Im glad you still believe in consumer friendly phones. Unfortunately all the flagships oned have decided one port is enough. As for consumer repairs, I wouldnt be surprised if it becomes completely impossible soon, given that apple did try blocking third part parts before with the iphone 13.
