I don’t really enjoy these activities on their own, but I do enjoy some activities that I can do in conjunction. Listening to music or podcasts can be done at the same time as almost any workout. If you are working out at home, you could even watch tv or something. I enjoy being able to play a game or browse the web on my phone if I’m using a stationary bike. Basically what makes it tolerable for me is what I can do at the same time.

On Apollo, it was configurable what swipe actions did what.

The way I set it up was swiping right (icons on left) had upvote at a short swipe and save at a long swipe. Swiping left (icons on right) had collapse current comment at a short swipe and collapse entire comment tree from top parent at a long swipe.

I believe everything, no matter what you personally configured, was in the ... menu as well. Since I rarely would downvote, and reading and saving/upvoting was more common for me than replying, I liked having the freedom to choose this setup. I think being able to customize the swipes similar to Apollo would allow more people to choose what works best for them.

I get super lost in them. Honestly even if it isn't open world, if it's still a 3d overworld, I will get lost. I think what saves me is helpful accessibility features like in Xenoblade 3 for example, with the glowing red line on the ground leading you toward your destination. It won't clear your obstacles for you but it will help you orient yourself and not get super lost. I would never get through a game like that without that feature. Anything less is honestly not sufficient for me to not get lost, unfortunately. I do try to play other games but I will absolutely be lost for ages in them.

Need more info before I accept or not. Does time IRL freeze? Or do I miss a year of real life time?

If I miss a year then nah because that's logistical nightmares and a LOT of explaining. Plus all my stuff would probably be lost if I stop paying rent because I'm non existent for a year, including legal documents etc.

If IRL time stops though, yeah I'd take it. Last played Ensemble Stars which is a game about idols. So the world they live in is more or less just normal modern day Earth.

Anyway I need to know the situation with IRL while I'm gone, OP.

I would not take the further deals because I'm disabled for the first one, and because I have people and things I like IRL for the second.

For some people it's not that simple. Some folks aren't technical enough to spin up an instance of any software. Other people have specific accessibility needs that may not be covered by any remaining options.

Genuine question, was airport security not tightened up worldwide after 9/11? I remember as a kid I would go through security quickly and be able to have someone at the gate waiting for me. That was never a thing after 9/11. Did the rest of the world not also have these changes? I guess for me I'm an extreme case because I live in NYC. I have no clue how it affected people across the country even, let alone in other countries. In my defense I was only 7 at the time.

Some people genuinely don't realize the delivery person doesn't get paid much. I didn't even know for the longest time that the "delivery fee" apparently does not go to the driver. That's an issue with DoorDash and similar apps' messaging to the users. My tips have gone up since I learned that the delivery fee is apparently not for the delivery person. It's not always malice on the customer's part though. Sometimes it's genuine misunderstanding.

If you (or a banker or anyone you're paying) needed to count that money, you'd need to count just over 11 bills every 4 seconds, just to count all the bills within an hour, let alone have time to actually spend the money. This is assuming $100 bills, of which you'd need 10,000 of. This many bills also weighs 22 pounds or 10 kilograms, plus whatever the weight of the container you're carrying it is... IDK man I think I'd not even try to spend most of it, grab maybe $500-1000 in cash, and go on a quick shopping spree at Target or something, which is like a 10 minute walk from where I live. I could buy groceries, clothing, electronics, household items, etc. If I still had time I would go back and try to buy gift cards in large denominations, but I know cashiers are supposed to give people a hard time with that because of scammers, so I wouldn't want to deal with that during the initial transaction.

As someone who can't afford to buy even one home (and barely can afford to pay rent), I don't really sympathize with people who buy multiple homes, just to rent them out. However, sympathy or not, it's still not okay how AirBnB handled the situation. Just because I don't really care for the reason that they have a second home that they want to rent out, doesn't mean that they should be treated inhumanely. Two "wrongs" don't make a right, and frankly, even if I have little sympathy for people who choose to own multiple homes, it's not inherently wrong. At least they planned to use it for a purpose for themselves part of the time, which is more than I can say for people or companies that just buy up homes exclusively to rent out (with no intention of ever utilizing it for a practical personal purpose). And frankly, if AirBnB treats them like this, who's to say it couldn't treat anyone else like this, be it a renter or host? I'm sure we've all dealt with being mistreated by customer "support" at various companies, and it's not something anyone likes, and it's certainly not okay to send canned responses that are likely flat out lies. I bet they never did an investigation at all until these people went public. And if it's really "humans" on the other end of the emails, I'm sure it's just people hired to copy/paste set phrases into an email and hit "send". Not people who are meant to actually look into issues and personally respond. The issue I'm seeing is that AirBnB's "response" to these people is part of a societal flaw that, in this case, hurt people who maybe some people might not feel sympathy for, and maybe rightly so. However, as this can happen to anyone (be it with AirBnB or any other of the many many companies that have similarly shitty customer service), it's a terrible precedent to be setting, that can hurt all of us.

Does this apply to all votes:

1. by local users on local posts
2. by local users on global posts
3. by global users on local posts

I'm curious how it works when factoring in other instances' interconnectivity.

Also are other instance users currently able to downvote posts on this instance?
