There is no DRM on GOG. You can just download the offline installer, then install it even without an internet connection. It will never ask you to go online because it doesn't need to check anything.

One reason is the more you're forced to work, the less energy, and, more importantly, time you have for preparing healthy meals. Therefore you're more likely to go with preprocessed, prepackaged meals or straight fast food which will make you fat fast.

I've got a relatively cushy job and cook my own, relatively healthy meals but even I find myself going for that store-bought pizza when I have a particularly busy week.

Moreover, unhealthy, preprocessed meals are basically drugs in terms of the dopamine hit, so you're more likely to go for them if your life sucks and you're sad about it.

Add to that the lack of education on healthy eating, which I'd bet is easier to come by when you're at least middle class and bam, you're a fat poor person.

What a braindead take.

I don't know what web3 is doing there, but I imagine this is terrifying if you're doing IT for western companies in China.

That's a very US-centric view, at best. I paid about 23 dollars for a brand new copy of Half-Life 2 in 2004.

I'm more in favor of Godot, but Unreal/UDK has been a thing for a long while, so it's not true that Unity was 'the only game in town' for a long time.

They only "don't have enough to pay us" insofar as they don't have enough to pay us without sacrificing record high profits or CEO salaries.

This is such an uneducated take I'm convinced it's just trolling.

Some things need more context than a single article. In this case, the context is several articles being posted by a person with an agenda. This knowledge may change some people's perception of the article.

Knowing that OP is skewing the narrative by flooding the space with articles supporting one narrative is important and cannot be ignored.

Some contexts go further than the immediate article and no one is asking anyone to ignore what's written in the article. Rather, what is asked is to be aware that many articles today were posted to support a certain narrative.

Some people today might end their day thinking 'boy, Ukraine has been doing a lot of bad things lately', when the bad things were specifically cherry-picked for their feed.

Indian people and their plight are being used for OP's own agenda and pointing this out does not discredit anything that might be happening to them, nor does it mean that it's not important, as was being suggested.

Yes, this is what you should take away from my comment. Congratulations, you're the smartest man alive.

They're not a barista who's taking too long to make you a coffee. Stop blaming Ukraine for not defending themselves fast enough.
