Oh, that makes it easier!

As a gentleman, I’d offer to hold the steering wheel so she has an easier time aiming her lance at oncoming traffic.

The term “scope creep” comes up a lot, but to be honest that’s not happening here.

They have no scope in the first place. No coherent vision.

The say surface-level vision-like things and present scope-like plans, but only as disposable tools to get investment. No single person in that company tries to tie it together to a real scope or real vision, or align development with it.

Smart and capable people work on any random game-like stuff that they find interesting, in the hope that it will all somehow become a complete experience all by itself.

That’s an unnecessary loaded headline.

He is offering to hire a professional team to dig it out at no cost, plus reimburse the city with £41 million for the trouble, and the post title makes him sound like an entitled baby demanding the city fixes his problems.

Noclick summary for the less brave among us?

Oh this is exactly what I expect from the sun. Plus one vote from me on banning them.

Publications that can’t describe things even close to neutrally and factually should be forbidden by law to cover real conflicts.

A plea for anyone having this happen, be gentle.

It is easy to think a tantrum is because the child wants something and either gets pissed that they don’t, or are trying to make a scene to get it.

Sometimes (often?) it is more of a stress and panic reaction. And it can be hard to tell. Even if the tipping point was not getting biscuits.

Whether your reaction is to give in and buy them something, remain very firm that they do not get biscuits today and this is not acceptable behavior, or decide to pick them up and carry them to the car, be a safe and calm presence for them.

“I used to be FAT12, but i ex-ercised.”

The authoritarian left and the liberal left have so little in common that it’s frustrating the term “left” encompasses both.

At 50 your hands finally heal from that injury at 45, so you can start punching walls at full strength again.

Like a hat

It is indeed a systemic issue, but his government is the strongest player in making sure this system is strenghtened rather than weakened.

In addition to all the bad stuff, there has also been more and more people pushing to make things better: Reduce laws and influence from religious fundamentalists, return land claimed by settlers and spread an understanding that they are doing evil, peace and trade with neighboring countries, etc.

And he is afraid of them. That is why he is trying to move to what is practically a dictatorship and go into perpetual war.

With the current government gone, there is at least hope that the non-fundamentalist politics can take the wheel.

I’m stretching the word “hope” to near breaking point here, I know. It would go from “impossible” to merely “impossibly hard with decades of hard concessions” to fix things.

There are other, more introspective, ways to react to widespread and ongoing negative reception.

Norwegian here. Blame entirely justified. Our greenwashing is gross and dishonest.

Yessss, that was an embarrassing omission in my list.

My bank: “We have a new valuation on your home! Open your app to see it!”

Fair! But why “Pirates!” but not Civilization? Formally, they are all named with the prefix.
