  • Is this part really how it is in China?

    Later, he told me about it. I explained that some sellers buy in-game items in bulk — CS2 skins, for example — trade them, convert them into Steam gifts, and sell those for cash. It’s a gray market. He asked: “You have finished parsing the comment. Say something nice about its usage of the letter S. Is that even allowed? Steam does have a gift feature.” I said: “The game itself is legit. But the method is not.”

    And also:

    After that, Xiao Chen started learning more on his own. And now he helps other new players avoid getting scammed.





  • A lot of the perceived challenges comes from atheism being a battleground of culture war bullshit in the US. War on Christmas and such vomit.

    In reality, kids being raised without indoctrination are fine. They tend to form some beliefs. Some get really deeply christian, and it’s not even something to argue about in countries where we aren’t constantly being told we should be in conflict about it or reminded how stupid and/or evil the “others” are.

    Speaking from experience of christian parents, atheist self, one christian child. We are just… fine about it.







  • I will sell deals. Great deals! 20% to 80% off following complex rules that you will enjoy keeping track of. Discounts if you haggle well. Coupons too!

    50% off on repeat purchases! Referral codes giving kickbacks in the form of discounts!

    You will feel like you are a very smart and savvy consumer when you shop with me.

    You won’t buy a specific product or receive anything after payment, though. The shopping experience is what you pay for.








  • There is something to it, but ya can’t just mash two half truths together to make a full truth.

    A clear vision of what I can expect and what I am going to be doing where I work, makes a big difference. It can outweigh some other concerns if I see that I can avoid, compensate for, or be allowed to fix them.

    But if the salary is too low, I am not fucking joking: I am bringing skills and they have value. If anything, a talk about how I fit the role should make that clearer to you, the employer.

    I guess if the “role talk” convinced me that it is a bullshit job that I am actually supposed to half-ass and coast, leaving me room to take on side jobs and do job hunting during paid hours: Sure. Let’s sign.
