This has always been my concern with the tradwife movement. I can certainly see why there would be appeal but you need to be very cautious of who you want to be a tradwife to. You create a lot of dependence on your partner, You sacrifice a lot of power, and once you start doing this it becomes increasingly difficult taking it back.

Even with the perfect partner to be a tradwife to. You don't remove the problems with dependence. You can argue that "well I have full faith my partner and I will stay together" but at any point it can all get taken away.

With two partners a single layoff sucks, but you can stay afloat much better than two layoffs. It's like a two engine and a single engine plane. A two engine has redundancy, it can limp. Single engine becomes a glider after failure.

Speaking of failure, doesn't matter how angelic your partner is, heart failure will kill them and wreck your life too. Then you have life insurance but no resume or job experience. Hope you saved.

It's genuinely kind of infuriating, because start mixing in handywork, house repair, landscaping, childcare, cooking, cleaning, organizing, with the recently added 3dprinting, searching online for 2nd hand goods, volunteering within your community, a LOT of value should be getting generated... but none of it gets recorded... or removes your dependency on your partner.

I mean, Microsoft isn't free. Linux is.

I hate the idea of hints. Because A. You then have to make the person your interested in make their own way towards you, and B. Then they have to notice it and then take a risk. I think it's FAR better, to give your crush an opening, serve them a line on a silver platter.

For example:
My wife was interested in me and she opened with:
"Am I too close?" To which I could've replied "nah you're good" or "yes, a bit" without any fuss. but, since I was also interested, I replied.
"Oh nonsense, if anything you're not close enough" which, can easily be dismissed as me being silly, but nope, she's interested. So she responds
'OH really? So how close can I get?"

Like, set up a romantic line. If there's a romantic line to be had. If they're interested, they'll take it.

Oh it's easy, they just googled "Roland voice lines" and he sounds like a perfect role for Kevin heart.

Could he pull off the borderlands 2 Roland intro? I don't think so, but I've been surprised before.

What really has me saddened is the whole pisswater gully bit. Tiny Tina is a native of pandora, Roland and Lilith are not (to my knowledge). So if anything, the roles should have been entirely reversed because:

  1. It makes more sense.

  2. It's way funnier.

Which means they're messing with backstory of the characters to match... nothing. Because it doesn't seem to make the writing better, and it differs from the original. It would also match Tiny Tina's character so much better and mitigate the annoying whiny child part of the character that is just SHINING through this trailer.

I don't know why, but I always imagine knights moving forward and then left or right, I always get infuriated for some reason when I see their movement described the other way around.

... oh that's interesting. Creation of a phantom "limb" with a brain control interface? I wonder how much control there is? Does it just wiggle? Is it purely binary up/down? Can they control the angle?

I actually have a set of LED eyes that I control with puppetry, last I looked at BCIs it was woefully incapable of what I wanted but maybe I should look at this again...

... You know on closer inspection I can't help but notice that for an American you're about 8 stories tall and look to be from the paleolithic era...

Admittedly, there is no government housing for politicians, which means either buying renting in washington DC (not cheap) in addition to your home in your own state, or moving entirely to Washington DC for a position you may lose in 4 years.

The entire job seems to be closed out to everyone but millionaires.

In another world with my smartphone

... He barely used the smartphone, he just scrolls with it in the credits and occasionally uses it and his OP protagonist powers to just melt things. I was really hoping it wasn't just a "I am a god" power trip anime but it was one of the worst ones I ever saw.

Honestly they only gave him a smartphone so that they could give it a unique title. Then they proceed to forget they gave it to him.

PSA:
Edge is also what you should use whenever you're making a public presentation and need to open a browser.

Why? Because you never use edge, therefore autocomplete is almost empty which means you can type:

  1. x
  2. p
  3. h
  4. r

With full confidence that NOTHING will appear that you will not want public.

That's gotta be a weird feeling, filling in for striking workers.

It's because it's a feature 0 people will complain about adding if it all works well. It's a small, minor, completely unnecessary detail.

If it's there, then someone had the time, the energy, and the freedom to add it, just because they wanted to. It's not an item that will make it on the checklist of a minimum viable game.

If it's there, it's a very good sign.
