I worked for one week at a company that allegedly made bespoke apps in my 20s. I was asked to cold call 200+ retail businesses to set up meetings with the actual sales guy out in the area. Nobody wanted to talk, and I was given £50 before they let me go. It didn't cover the train fares.
These guys were Muslim and this single week was during Ramadan. They asked me to start every morning at 8:30, but they repeatedly didn't turn up until 9:30. Turns out I was never going to get paid by the hour anyway (which were the origonal terms), but it was still ridiculous. Always get a contract!

Most sensible thing I have ever seen this chap say.
IMO, the solution should not be to browbeat people into an old standard, but rather allow people to wear whatever they want. If someone can wear ducky pajamas in public, you can wear tailoring in any cut, color, and material. As options open up, dress can then be a source of pleasure.

Please come check out our stream tonight. Felix and I have worked really hard at improving this game and it's really great fun to play. Gearing up for Kickstarter soon, but it all starts with showing it off as much as we can.
Who's ready for something new? We're showing off the reworked All Hands On Decks! Tabletop Simulator mod tonight. New mechanics, new cards, new pieces! Come join Felix and Chris at 8pm BST to see it in action. twitch.tv/anagacharts #streaming #twitch #boardgamesky
Grand Theft Auto 5 is dull and rote. The comic satire of earlier titles was shaved away until all that was left was crass. The shooting also does not carry its main gameplay hook.
No hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.
