New Skyrim mod feature pulling the mod community apart
  • I don't really play Bethesda games or mods and judging by my downvotes I'm assuming I've said something dumb so I'm just going to leave this be. I still don't quite understand but it's not my place to comment.

  • UK workers ‘should get day off’ if workplace is hotter than 30C
  • That sounds pretty silly, the real changes need to come from the ways we generate our electricity, not how individuals use it. I'm mostly just surprised activists managed to affect policy at all, though. But still that sounds more misguided than malicious.

  • 5 big promises made at annual UN climate talks and what has happened since
  • helping developing countries by giving them predatory loans and putting them into more debt under the guise of fixing climate change is honestly just so on brand for the world right now.

    It'd take something pretty wild to surprise me at this point.

  • Bethesda is a company so naturally they're going to want to try and profit off of mods. But outside of the compatibility hiccups this doesn't really sound that bad. It's a nice way for modders to get paid for their work, it's optional and it'll hopefully make modding more accessible in general. The bigger concerns (to me) would be how badly are Bethesda ripping off modders, and whether it would fracture any communities, for instance if it was too difficult to make an 'official' mod as well as a traditional one, leading to modders abandoning one or the other. So long as Bethesda handle it well it could be fine.

  • If you really thought this, it'd be company policy and the employee wouldn't have to ask. Faked for engagement?
  • Who knows what their intentions are, but they're still spreading a good message. And to be fair there is a difference between a fairly lax work from home policy and wanting to work from home permanently. It could also just be a smaller company where they don't really have official policies for things that haven't come up yet.

  • UK workers ‘should get day off’ if workplace is hotter than 30C
  • I feel like you're just having imaginary arguments in your head with people who don't exist. This is a net win for everyone because it means less people suffering in extreme conditions and it also puts pressure on companies and people with money to slow climate change.

    Maybe there's some weird people out there who want others to suffer but I doubt that's anywhere near representative of climate activists.

  • China has another massive headache now: It can’t stem deflation
  • This is true, China certainly hasn't helped the situation, although from where they were I can understand them wanting to capitalise on it. I just don't like it when people blanket say that things made in China are bad. The reputation is obviously there for a reason, but it's almost just as often western companies that share the blame for general low quality, mass produced, disposable things.

  • Aircon fell out window

    I rent an apartment in a big subdivided house, I live on the ground floor. An aircon unit just fell out of my upstairs neighbours window and landed just outside my own window. This was a bit alarming because not half an hour earlier I was poking my head out that window to water my plant (the plant is fine thankfully). There's a whole row of aircons sitting outside windows that could all also fall out which is also concerning.

    I'm curious if there's anything I can do in the way of complaining to anyone about my landlord not providing a safe living environment?

    I'm doubtful, but wanted to ask, just in case.
