So this is your project? Judging from your username here and the test messages shown in your screenshot here and on the Github. Nemesis.

Brand new lemmy account with only this post on it.

And the entire Github codebase is made up of a single commit of all the files 2 hours ago as of the time I'm commenting.

As I've said before with similar posts from (I believe) other users/coders: just be up front about if something you're posting was your weekend project or just something to fill out a portfolio.

And you haven't responded to any of what I wrote, in order to keep pushing the racism angle. You certainly aren't doing yourself any favors.

If you can't see how posting a thread asking people what they do and what they make could be controversial (even without the potential race angle or the "I make a shit ton of money" angle), you must be very insulated from the world.

Job markets are crap almost universally, definitely in the US and from what I can gather also in Europe. Average yearly wage for the US was significantly less than a third of what you say you make last I checked. Six figures is a major career goal for most people. Just getting above $100k a year is seen as a pretty big accomplishment. And you're going to strut in claiming 3.5x that and just go "I see no way how this could be construed as anything but an attempt at conversation"?

To be fair, I've personally known people like you in real life. College friend who was the son of a doctor with his own practice, inviting us out to dinner at a place that "wasn't too expensive". At the time (2010), $25 a plate was expensive for working adults, let alone college students.

There are a lot of new accounts that post weird questions like this to asklemmy, seemingly trying to bait out strong reactions by including some sort of "twist".

Relationship questions, but surprise, it's an islamic marriage with multiple wives!

Am I the asshole type question about raising children, but surprise, a buried lede that is right on the edge of "is this person abusing their kid, or just a hardass"?

Is this a reasonable to expect from my spouse, but surprise, it's an arranged marriage!

Most of these posts are deleted within 24 hours, strongly suggesting that there is someone using sockpuppet accounts to bait out engagement. Fuck if I have any clue why. There is a distinct pattern that your post falls into.

I appreciate that the mods are finally doing something about it, just making a comment to remind people to excercise common sense.

Lemmy has a bit of a schism with some extreme leftist groups practically worshipping the Russian and Chinese government. So your inclusion of it makes this post appear to be another one of those "slightly engaging, but surprise thing that probably shouldn't be contreversial but sure will be!" posts.

And even assuming good faith, this is just a humblebrag thread. "Look at how much I make!"

Not every company is like that, but it is distressingly rare. To the degree that I'm willingly accepting 20k less than I would be making elsewhere to avoid the bullshit. I am so fucked if I ever need to move or if my boss retires.

Why does this description sound entirely like someone trying to sell me something?

Yeah, but they'll still create a shadow profile on you and track your data anyway. Have a friend with an account? Your name and phone number is known to them. Even without a true identity attached, they will track you from your own devices, and then correlate that with everything else they can at every opportunity.

Also, Facebook is preinstalled as a system app (cannot be uninstalled without adb) on various manufacturer's and carrier's android builds.

Gotta love the ones with no frame rate data like this one. They relied on the slowness of old PCs to keep them from zooming. Now we get this speed demon.

What? Corded phones exist, and most schools and offices have at least one in each room. Dumb phones exist. Pagers exist.

Smart phones are not the only singular solution for easy, quick contact.

There's also 4K77, and Harmy's Despecialized edition. Last I had heard, 4k77 was the highest quality original theatrical version.

Welcome to my webzone

The fluff text in the terminals is what really got me about the repetition. Like you couldn't write a few more similar paragraphs and shuffle them?

Enjoy while you can.

Don't chase weapon upgrades and crafting research too hard. The minor stat upgrades don't really effect much for the stupid amount of grinding required to get the exact right materials needed.

I found that the novelty of the game wore off pretty quick after I started finding what initially felt like handcrafted points of interest repeating for the third time. Apparently there's a mod that tweaks the RNG to significantly reduce how often things repeat, because it's really rough out of the box.
