The thing that often gets me is when it's a screen that's entire purpose is to show you the loading symbol (so you know what it looks like and not to shut off the console during it) and you just click to continue.

So in this case I typically notice just the symbol and an waiting for it to go away on a screen where it will never go away.

I think Persona 5 Royal and/or Yakuza: Like a Dragon are examples of games that have this when you first start them.

This comment from another post of the same article has some good counter points on why this probably isn't as bad as it sounds.

While ridiculous, there's interesting context here.

Greenland has little to no economy

The ice is mined from ice that has already broken away from the glacier, thus not reducing any more than nature has already

Cargo ships bringing frozen food used to leave empty, now that same fuel is used to transport ice back instead of going to waste

The founder has always dreamed of a sustainable economy for Greenland

He is conflicted about how his work to do this in a sustainable way is being taken

The follow up comments are worth reading too.

There's no harm in condom + anything else considering all the horror stories of condoms accidentally/intentionally not working.

This gives another option that sounds pretty easy and not very invasive for anyone.

The money goes where? Read that part again.

Stays in America paying American salaries which goes back to the country via their taxes.

I haven't really followed this too closely so good chance I am misremembering or just wrong here.

Didn't he essential steal from everyone using FTX since customers are likely not going to get much back after the portion for taxes and whatever else is taken out first?

That would include a lot of rich people but probably a lot of average people and irresponsible/poor people as well.

All kids are victimized but most conservatives don't care until it's their kid specifically. Kind of like most political issues that people who have empathy care about.

Well if i could work well sleeping and then live my life while awake that'd be pretty sweet.

Doubt that's what a lot of company owners would want but that is maybe the only plus side of this.

Same here, one of my childhood habits that I had never beat and forget existed but played a lot... I've gone back and beat a lot, seems like this might be the next.

Some people just want power and recognition which you don't get if you just travel and enjoy life.

I could also so it being pretty exciting being at the forefront of a new technology and wanting to put all the things you've learned or been researching to use vs just quitting and feeling like you're wasting that time you've put in. Probably doesn't feel like a job if this is the case.

Yeah I was going to say that's what I liked most about it but then I read the comments and saw all the signs pointing to the bishop being the one talking.

People too busy working multiple jobs because they're drowning in debt I think is a lot more common of an issues. The way things have become allow very little time for critical thinking not.

Plus the whole issues of schools being underfunded. A lot of kids probably aren't even learning critical thinking skills or even being taught the importance of them. Anytime pre-workforce or secondary education is spent enjoying life while they still can (at least that's what I was told at that age to do).

Think it was just a "always give 110% effort" joke.
