This is extremely reductionist as it's actually a fairly complex school of thought, but it's essentially just: everyone is equal and thus should have equal rights and treatment under the law. A basic example:

I have a cake and take it to a party with 7 others. We agree everyone should have equal right and access to the cake and so cut it into 8 equal slices.

Where as Capitalism is like: I decide because I came up with the idea of getting cake, I deserve more of it, so I take 50%. The host of the party gets a 20% cut. And the remaining 6 guests divvy the remaining 30% amongst themselves.

Isn't that essentially what Patreon is for though? How is it different (other than I assume no 'bonus content' for your sub)?

Okay, but we had that same issue in 2010 before Chrome started to become mainstream. And before that, IE had to compete with Netscape.

Mean Girls - this is my absolute comfort movie. Elf is mandatory watch every Christmas and I never get bored of it.

Movies I'll always sit down and watch if I see them on TV that I've not seen mentioned yet:

  • Breakfast Club
  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off
  • Time Bandits
  • 12 Monkeys
  • Muppet Treasure Island

Guess it depends on the country.

Right now, UK public sector is absolutely dire. A lot of us are wildly overworked and underpaid. I've honestly considered going back to the private sector because I could be earning about £10-15k/pa more, but at least in my specific sector I have guaranteed job security and some (largely false at this point) sense of making a positive contribution to the society I live in.

Job progression isn't easy, especially now because of cuts and recruitment freezes. There's no benefits other than always getting public holidays off. Our pensions were wrecked in 2015 and won't even compensate for it.

We don't even have front pockets, just seams to give the illusion of a pocket!

Team Orca right here.

This is toxic masculinity, and the idea that men have to be successful, strong, brave, etc. hurts everyone.

Being 'soft' or 'weak' should be perfectly normal and accepted human traits. How about we allow men the space and patience to access and acknowledge their emotions, instead of placing some patriarchal ideal of how they have to be big, strong, rich, successful, dominant etc. on them?

Easy: leave all emails that might be important as unread. That way, you know they're important because they're unread. Continue to never read them until you've got over 400 unread emails in your inbox. Then just mass delete any more than a month old, because they can't still be important or relevant. Continue to feel guilty and not read emails.

Absolutely flawless system for me so far.

One thing to be mindful of is that mystery chest locations will change if the 24hr clock rolls over to the next hour.

So say you're in an active Helltide (e.g. with 40mins left of Helltide), looking at the user updated map, and it's currently 13:55. At 14:00 the mystery chests will respawn to one of the other potential locations (but can also remain in the same location). So if you're checking it just after the hour, the location may not yet be accurate.

As an aside, that means if the Helltide timer crosses over the hour, you have the potential to open 4x chests instead of 2x!

If it is a Katamari reference, it's kinda on theme with some of the extreme horror that comes out of FromSoft games (a barely perceptible alien causes minor inconvenience by rolling up your paperclips, suddenly causes total global extinction and sacrifices everyone and everything on the planet to the cosmos).

They did explicitly say that premium armour rewards were transmog only, and that not paying for the battle pass won't put you at a disadvantage gear wise.
