So don't? I like the humor in it.

Not necessarily, since there are not the same set of countries.

Unless you're never sexually active (meaning, you eventually do have sex), it's worthwhile getting since there is a risk to yourself if you get infected.

Next time I would recommend to just wait until you’re less emotional and respond then. Your comment now doesn’t really add anything to the conversation, whereas one with a level head might.

Thanks for adding to the conversation

Yes, exactly. The article is pretty clear that it’s rejected without prejudice and that a few points need to be ironed out before he gives a preliminary approval. I suspect a lot of folks didn’t read much/any of TFA.

I do wonder if all of the kinks will be smoothed out in time. Not a lawyer too, but the timeline to create the longer list is a bit tight, and generally feels like we could see an actual rejection or at least a stretched out process here that goes on for a few more months at least before approval.

I think that’s a slightly uncharitable take. Yes, it was originally DLC, and yes it is unforgiving, but it’s nowhere near as hard as the White Palace from the first game, and it’s not brutally punishing (you are quite agile and get good upgrades pretty early on).

I felt that the beginning of the game is pretty punishing, exactly because you don't have these movement abilities yet.

After getting Swift Step (dash), the game became quite doable. Luckily you get dash a lot faster than in the original game, although I would say, in Silksong it's more a necessity.

I went through Hunter's March without abilities and initially I hated the diagonal pogo jumps. It took a night's sleep to reset my mind, and learn pogo-ing for real.

That also was the lesson I needed to go forward: take your time, consciously clear the environment, and learn the movesets. I have a lot of hours in the original game, and was way too used to sprinting through the environment.

Most of the pogos don't require the full diagonal range, you can just trigger the attack when you're really close to the target, which makes it almost a regular downwards jump.

Yeah, this was the big insight for me.

And to add, gliding down to allow yourself more time to adjust. It seemed too good to be true first, now I think working exactly as intended.

So your solution is to shut our eyes and let undocumented foreigners take the jobs that a well-educated American society could fulfill?

This is one of those weird edge cases that comes from us having an incoherent immigration policy.

We know that fitting out and commissioning these kinds of factories takes foreign workers who have the subject matter expertise on how the parent company does it. But we have a history of not providing proper work visas for it and looking the other way.

On the other hand, if you don't let these people in, it's not clear how Hyundai gets a functional battery factory that's built like their other ones.

The old policy of looking the other way was broken. But suddenly "fixing it" with enforcement isn't too smart, either.

Visa abuse has always been a serious issue. Are you sure we have been looking the other way, or just not looking? With the latter, the crackdown we are seeing makes sense.

Yah-- there's been no desire to enforce ESTA/B-1 visa restrictions for ordinary abuses, because we don't have a workable short term productive work regime. We don't really have a mechanism where Hyundai can bring over labor that can read engineering drawings and manuals in Korean to set up a factory and train local workers.

Most countries have a short term, productive work permit. We don't-- closest thing you can do is L-1 (and often this doesn't work: you can't hire workers for the purpose or use contractors).

Lottery based and slow systems like H-1B/H-2B don't work, and H-2B is intended for low skill labor. If we expect Korean and Taiwanese companies to establish factories, we must either provide a viable legal pathway for their technicians or accept the reality of ongoing B-1 visa violations. (I prefer the former).

(Oddly enough, ESTA/B-1 allow receiving training but not giving it).

> Oddly enough, ESTA/B-1 allow receiving training but not giving it

Does this mean there is an equivalent in South Korea where the US could send workers on this Visa to receive training on how to build their (Hyundai) factories?

Hyundai absolutely does a lot of training of US-based employees in Korea.

But sometimes you have a shorter-term need for some setup talent (especially when language skills and understanding local engineering conventions is important). This is much more common during plant construction.

I don't think you're going to quickly train US workers on how to decipher Korean documentation.

That's a lot of words to put in someone's mouth.

I didn't propose a solution, and I don't have one, just that the parent's idea wouldn't work in practice.

Show me any evidence your Republican party cares about educating Americans. Are they supporting better pay for teachers? Are they supporting more resources to schools? Are they pushing for tuition free college?

Exactly. I’m not sure why this is a controversial take.

They don’t. What happens is that your listen is pooled with all listens of all songs, and every payout the artist/label gets a check for the percentage of that total listening pool. For small artists that have relatively few listens, they don’t get almost any money.

So it doesn’t matter if Spotify passes on 70%, most artists aren’t going to see any substantial portion of that, label or not.

A link to the language page would've been great, but it's not on the event page...

I worry we’re in the beginning of the Stray timeline.

Had not actually seen the cat adventure game before the mention. Although the dead humanity timeline is quite dark, the game itself looks like an innovative adventure/mystery with a lot of physics puzzles and animal specific interactions. Neat art style and robot characterization. If I ever get back to trying games again, looks like something to investigate. Like games such as Tenchu where you're motivated to find a choice other than straight up fighting everything. Thanks for the mention if nothing else.
