It routinely does, and they still don’t learn.

Babies expect to be fed and housed and cleaned up after without contributing in any meaningful way, so according to conservatives, they must be 100% commie

There’s a similar meme that makes it’s rounds every so often about dyed hair and repelling predators

Not super rare for a bachelors, a large university will likely have a few each year. There’s even been a few instances of minors getting their PhD, as recently as early 2000s https://www.online-phd-programs.org/youngest-phd/

Long-term heavy alcohol abuse can do wonky things to your nervous system… or he’s just incompetent (or both)

I don’t think bulk barn allows you to bring your own container, you have to use their plastic bags

Chest freezers also don’t lose nearly as much cold air when opened compared to upright.

I use subtitles and I am a native English speaker… sometimes the actors mumble or get washed out in the mix, or just the room we’re watching in is a bit noisy, so being able to read the dialogue helps my brain to pick out what they’re saying a lot easier.

States don’t operate their own postal services though, and this is the problem. A state can allow mail-in voting, but if the USPS doesn’t deliver the ballots, then the state effectively doesn’t have mail-in voting.

And given the internet’s proclivity toward legal “teen/jailbait” porn where the models are of age but focus heavily on child-like features/poses/clothing/etc, there’s literally millions of high-resolution photos that an inference machine could easily stitch together a CSAM image using nothing but legal source images.

I “grew out of it” when I got too fat to stay on the balls of my feet all the time. However I still do every so often; and when I sit, I often tuck my feet under the chair so that I’m resting on them… so maybe not entirely grown out of it…

There’s been information coming out that indicates having autism is quite common among ADHD people, and is significantly under-diagnosed, especially for people who got their ADHD diagnosis a long time ago.

RMTs often work alongside physiotherapists in a practice. If that’s where you end up, there might be a perk of after-hours PT sessions to keep your joints in shape. If not, then engaging the services of a physiotherapist a couple times a year can definitely help.

“3/5 - Meets Expectations”

Good example of outfits sending signals.

Slacks and a button-up probably made you look like management just out picking up slack, and people subconsciously left you alone - “oh, they’re probably really busy with management stuff and also had to go shelve books… I’ll leave them alone”

Casual clothes in contrast would have signalled “worker” - “I’ll just go ask that person, it’s not like they’re doing anything important, they’re just shelving books!”

The sermon is basically open-mic time for the priest. They generally offer commentary on the gospel, how it relates with the other readings/psalms of that mass, current events and so on.

With the sermon being what it is, it’s one of the big ways in which a priest can influence their congregation. The priest doesn’t select the gospel, readings, psalms, etc. it’s all published in a book called a Missal, and does not change very often, so they can’t cherry-pick certain passages etc. Given as well that priests are regarded as (in effect) the “messenger from God”, parishioners will often alter their thoughts and behaviours based on these sermons.

Now, that being said, the priest is that church’s “store manager” - hired and appointed by the diocese and is responsible for more than just saying mass, they run the church. Think of what a store manager would do - HR tasks, maintenance, advertising, and so on - is all the head priest’s responsibility. If there was no priest to make a sermon, that church would have been shut down.

Also, any CompSci grad I’ve worked with couldn’t write code for shit unless they learned how outside of their schooling, and yet so many go the CompSci -> programmer route instead of doing like SW Eng or something like that.

I said slot machine mechanics, so heavily RNG. Video poker because video game that is more luck than skill. Either way, it’s gambling pure and simple when you add cash prizes with a mandatory buy-in.

One thing colony management games really don’t handle is rot… so your concept would be really good along with a progression system, so you start with a functioning but failing colony, and have to fix/rip out/rebuild/etc to keep it running, but doing any of that runs the risk of breaking something you might not have known about and so on…

so, a shit game with a slot machine mechanic… you invented video poker
