Just playing with scenarios but I imagine something similar to Salton Sea and its evaporating toxic lake.

Welp, time to run the chicken through the reverse osmosis system too.

I can hear everything perfectly, but can’t focus on a person speaking because my brain will give equal attention to every other noise source around me.

THAT’S A SYMPTOM OF ADD??? I did not know that! Honestly, I thought that was just normal or I needed special hearing aids even though annual hearing tests came out perfect.

Still, I’m trying g to figure out how he wasn’t missed for six days- one of which was a major is holiday.

I don’t think it’s too difficult… Working to live survive, no time/energy to develop a significant other, a lack of a ‘family’. Honestly, from my perspective those traits all seem pretty prevalent. What with all of those ‘male loneliness epidemic’ being reported.

Wrapping up everything that is left to do on my first run through Xenoblade 3. All unique monsters get. All but one colony max affinity get. All X gems get. Not maxing out hero levels.

Then post-game stuff and start future redeemed DLC.

Been waiting for this one, subbed.

What’s a ‘boost’ and is it different from an upvote?

If I had to take an educated guess, it is the absurdly immense pressure for academic and career success. Basically through one’s entire childhood and early-adult life. A child’s day would be something like public school from morning to afternoon and private tutoring after that until night time. Rince and repeat with an ever growing pressure for an acceptance into a highly rated university.

And on top of that, incredible wealth inequality.

So from childhood until death it all seems like constant pressure to become excellent. Seems like life would be hopeless if one struggles with the academics and fails to secure a career.

A total of 39,453 people killed themselves from 2020 to 2022, according to data from the health ministry and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency submitted to Rep. Baek Jong-hean of the ruling People Power Party.

Apparently the party is South Korean so I presume the stats are just for South Korea.

The automakers’ last known wage offers were around 20% over the life of a four-year contract, a little more than half of what the union has demanded. Other contract improvements, such as cost of living increases, restoration of defined-benefit pensions for newly hired workers and an end to wage tiers within the union are also on the table.

What happened to the 32 hour work day? Disappointment in AP for not mentioning this.

Gig workers gimped themselves voting to remain as contractors in prop 22. And now there’s that stupid 80%(?) majority rule to make amendments.

Key proposals from the union have included 40% hourly pay increases, a reduced 32-hour work week, a shift back to traditional pensions, the elimination of compensation tiers and a restoration of cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), among other items on the table including enhanced retiree benefits and enhanced vacation and family leave benefits.

I hope they get it all. 32 hour work day and return to traditional pensions would be huge.
