Totally agree, though I haven't really participated that much on Reddit. Seems like any disagreement is quickly framed as trolling over there.

Sure, no worries! I haven't been disappointed yet by responding to downvoted comments so I will keep doing it :)

Just another similar metaphor: Power hungry. Not the stove kind but the dictator kind. To be honest, there are quite a lot of body related metaphors, e.g. drowning in trouble, blinded by ambition. I guess it comes down to evoking some strong emotion.

Consider another association with thirst: Desperation. In the mind of the author porn consumption is negative so anyone consuming porn is doing this out of desperation, despite knowing better. It essentially describes people being controlled by their base instincts. And thus this site is a trap, luring people against their will.

That is how I would interpret the word thirst in this context anyway. It's not about a critical need, it's about thirst being irrational and highly compulsive.

Yeah, I think it's also very impressive how they have different styles but are still very similar in some ways. Most noticeable with Arctic and Antarctic Oscillation.

And "The rain formerly known as purple", "Coalescence" and "The raindrop that fell to the sky" are just soooo good. Could listen to them on repeat (and have done so (: )

I can also recommend FTL, Risk of Rain and Risk of Rain 2. Really good OSTs, I'm listening to all of them regularly. They've also got great gameplay! But they're rogue-likes so basically no story in case that bothers you.

The selling was planned a long time ago right? I think the main problem here is a CEO owning stock in the first place. If he owns stock he will obviously sell it when he no longer thinks it's a good investment. And if it's planned some time ahead it's not exactly inside knowledge. At least I don't think that this is a bad case of insider trading.

How else do you want to handle a CEO owning stock? From his perspective: He sees hard times coming for Unity so he sells his stock. At the same time he tries to turn the situation around, uncertain if he will succeed.

And AFAIK the trades are public so everyone would know that the CEO is sceptical about the company's future. There are obviously problems with the ToS changes but is the stock selling really all that relevant in this discussion?

Huh? Why would you switch to miles from kilometers?

And IMHO megameters aren't used that often because there is rarely anything useful to measure with it. Using a different unit makes you lose your sense of scale (e.g. the earth has a radius of ~7000km, not 7Mm) and for astronomy megameters aren't big enough most of the time (and you might as well use lightseconds/years because gigameters give no real intuition of scale).

I've actually wondered about this. If you take a sealed container, freeze and thaw it again, shouldn't it be sterile? So basically good for as long as the seal remains tight?

With some exceptions of course, the seal might not be tight at low temperatures, some bacteria can survive frost etc.

The economy isn't looking that great in Spain right now AFAIK. With high unemployment it could at least be somewhat attractive.

3,400€/month to be part of some special forces doesn't seem like a good deal? Like, sure. It's a good salary. But for joining a war where about a third of the soldiers already are casualties it seems a bit low. At least if you view them as mercenaries. For volunteers I guess that the ideological reasons play a huge part. But why does the company emphasize that they are only called volunteers to avoid legal issues? The whole thing seems quite sketchy.

Das mit Steam Deck (Dampfterasse?) ist ein guter Punkt, damit können Leute eher was anfangen als mit Desktopumgebung.
