I think that’s a part of it. They’re also usually the ones who are likely to end up being longer-term residents so they’re more invested.

I don’t mind chatting, but usually when a I’m outside my apartment I’m in the process of doing something. Personally I hate getting trapped in small talk when I’m just trying to spend 60 seconds to take my trash out or walk to my car.

Nope. Neighbors in apartments change far too frequently for various reasons - life changes, rent hikes, property issues, etc. It very rarely seems worth the time to invest in a potential acquaintanceship. The only people that ever seem to be eager to be friends in my experiences end up being the elderly and the younger folks anyway.

It also makes it far more awkward when you have to eventually have a neighborly conversation and ask them to not leave their trash in the hallway or keep their volume down or something else minor.

I’ve been asking myself the exact same thing.

The top level comment on this thread, to which you complained about graphical syntax, is discussing the MAU decline over the past 30 days.

If you start at zero, the exact same data is shown as when there is a clearly labeled breakpoint. It contributes nothing other than obscuring the data points and scope of discussion is only for the past month. You’re not making a cogent point.

Just like I said before, a 5% decline is not an insignificant drop or “very slightly declined.” Expanding the scope of the argument to show that it’s actually a far steeper decline in user engagement and then arguing the opposite point is misinterpreting the data. Expanding the scope just shows that the trends are continuously showing declining user engagement with no organic growth other than Reddit fucking up.

Showing the data over an entirely different timescale than what’s currently under discussion means nothing in this context to illustrate your point.

Starting from 0 on the y axis just means you need to change the scale, which like I said makes reading any data points incomprehensible, or end up with an unnecessary amount of whitespace.

All starting at 0 would do is ensure that you have no way to accurately gauge the data points values. It would also just compress the data to an incomprehensible smudge of a line.

The starting point is just so you can adequately see trends for both plots shown and is quite sane. I also don’t know if I could call an ~5% decline and clear trend minimal either.

I always considered Birth by Sleep to be the last good entry to the series. Admittedly I never played the actual game of 358/2 and only got the cinematic version from the collection.

I was a massive fan of 1 and 2 as a kid and did a full series playthrough prior to the release of 3. I had a blast through BBS, but my god it was a slough in the later games(including 3).

A root canal procedure requires the drilled cavity to be filled and then a surface filling after the abscess is drained. I think their wording is fine.

The user above is wrong. Blocking is only one-directional and you won’t see comments and posts from them any longer, but they still see the things you posts.

I’ve tried Google’s suggestion of water/vinegar and a bit of dish soap in a bottle, but they don’t seem to go for it at all.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I always thought this method was only geared for fruit flies, not houseflys.

Flypaper strips can be effective depending on the severity and location of the issue and are fairly cheap. It won’t be 100% effective, but it might help. Just be very careful about where you place it if you have any pets or children.

Stop it. Executives don’t understand sarcasm and you’ve doomed us all!

You’d be better suited just having a user select that they are comfortable dating a trans individual because it will likely come up very early in the dating process anyway.

Forcing someone to identify as a gender that doesn’t make them comfortable is just going to result in them not using your app and is frankly kind of a dick move overall. Your suggestion would just create an app that was suited for chasers, not trans users.

Normally I’m not one to even entertain the thought of commenting on a political thread, but I feel it would be disingenuous to click the button without any feedback in this case. This decision leaves me with a large enough lack of confidence in the future moderation of this community(especially given we’re in an election year) such that I can’t in good faith leave it on my feed and I will be blocking this comm after this comment.

While I agree that Ozma deserved a ban for spam, the justification used for this is frankly appalling. Misrepresentation of bias as bad-faith, especially with the admission that largely good sources were used is unacceptable.

These things are usually telegraphed beforehand so they can gauge public reaction and adjust if necessary.

Rulings aren’t adjusted based on public sentiment; That’s not how the court functions. You can generally speculate with reasonable accuracy on each judges position even prior to arguments for a case and arguments give a clearer public affirmation as to their thoughts on the manner.

I don’t think it’s too early to be mad about the courts potentially legalizing presidential murder.

Presidents have been authorizing legalized murder since the country’s inception. All this ruling will do is create a legally distinct definition between state actions and personal actions. This article is just ragebait.

A ruling hasn’t been issued yet as far as I can tell. This is just an emotional and editorial piece based on the Trump immunity case arguments. It’s too early to be mad yet.

I played the game a lot as a wee lad, but I genuinely cannot fathom how people still play GMS these days. Every few years I’ll play for a few weeks on a private server for nostalgias sake. I’m quickly reminded why I stopped playing in the first place though.

I’m very surprised that this game can pull in a viewership of 20,000 people, even if it is a huge achievement event.

Well at least it’s clear you only want to know this so you can troll, I’m sorry, I mean “avoid censorship.”

I’m glad it works for you, but I always hated getting to work very sweaty and then being smelly for the rest of the day when I biked.
