The overall health of a workforce affects health insurance rates and every employee. The more unhealthy a workforce is, the more money comes out of your check for insurance. This is why wellness programs exist at companies.

This dude thinks he’s a Vulcan lol

Get your ads outta here.

I’d suggest taking your own advice, buddy.

I’ve given you as much of a response as your comment was worth. Have a good day.

Hamas is evil, they’re a literal terrorist organization that uses fear and violence as their primary tools and methods. The situation Hamas operates in is absolutely nuanced but saying a terrorist organization is evil and supporting a terrorist organization makes you complicit in supporting evil is not an indicator of a simplistic world view, it’s stating an objective fact. If anything you’re the one expressing a simplistic worldview by ignoring the obvious truths of the situation and its various pieces in favor of obfuscating the parts of the situation that are self evident and clear.

Hamas is evil and anyone on here supporting them are complicit in supporting evil.

Man, you’re an asshole, a bigot and a dumbass. How’s that for weak? Congrats on being the evil in the world.

What? Taoism has millions of practitioners and since it’s not an organized religion there’s probably millions more that are uncounted, myself included. Also a major part of the belief system is karma so we absolutely believe in standing up to evil in all of its forms because that’s how you reduce suffering and create more good into the world.

Appreciate the comment. I agree voting in theory is a good idea but I think a majority of people use it as not intended and it’s creating a net negative experience for the social media that utilizes it. Too many people use downvoting to show dissatisfaction with an opinion instead of the intended this doesn’t add to the conversation. Dog piling is a major issue IMO, psychologically many see negative votes (or many downvotes) and are inclined to treat those comments or posts with more derogatory comments or oppose the commenter before even reading the full post or comment. That’s a very real general example of functionality that’s shutting down engagement and being contradictory to the intent of the social media system being used. For a specific example, browse all with the new filter on lemmy and look at how many posts get downvoted right out of the gate that are perfectly legitimate posts for the communities they’re posting in. The moving good content to the top of your feed intention of upvotes doesn’t really work well in the fediverse without algo based feeds and the top filter could easily switch to views and comments to get the desired results without all the downside of how it is now.

If this were a minor issue I wouldn’t be commenting and would support the standard just ignore votes spiel but it seems to be that most people cannot handle the current voting system so I still see no benefit to them in their current form. The fediverse is the perfect environment to iterate and innovate on a system that doesn’t work as intended.

I think upvoting and downvoting should be removed in its current form. There should be a way to report content that doesn’t contribute to conversations or is hateful and if you want to know how popular a post is go off of alternate engagement metrics like views/comment count.

I genuinely see no benefit to upvoting or downvoting if the above mechanisms are in place. Upvotes are something many folks get obsessed with and downvotes are too easy to spam, especially on a social network that consists of mostly anonymous users. This post is a good example - it’s adding to the conversation and trying to spur engagement with the community but at the time of me commenting it has -1 upvotes (via Voyager since it aggregates downvotes/upvotes). What is the point of these mechanisms - they should be left to Reddit and the fediverse should innovate in this area and make something better than what we already had.

All religions are not shit. All organized religion is. You don’t ever hear of a Taoist committing these kind of acts.

It’s not really broken. Your party members are completely separate and distinct characters that can do whatever they want from a role playing perspective, including splitting up - arbitrarily adding everyone into initiative even if the enemies can’t see the other PC’s would feel less realistic and more videogamey. I’m saying this as someone who plays tabletop dnd and values the flexibility and near limitless options the game can accommodate. This is also a weird situation cuz many tabletop players have very different homebrew rules about how combat is initiated. Some DM’s allow people to opt into combat when someone else initiates, some DM’s decide who is in an encounter by distance, some force everyone into initiative when one party member initiates - there’s a lot of permutations and I think Larian did the right thing here cuz if you don’t like it and think it’s broken you can very easily not use stealth and line of sight to nuke your enemies. This isn’t a competitive game after all. I for one appreciate the tabletop spirit carrying over to BG3 instead of being unnecessarily restrictive.

Seems interesting.

Definitely not like Skyrim apart from the fantasy setting, the game is narrative driven and everything is handcrafted by the devs. Skyrim has way too much randomly generated stuff to feel as rich as BG3. The game also is based off of dnd rules and is not real time action oriented like Skyrim, when not exploring you do things in a turn based mode and have to manage actions/bonus actions/and spell slots to do things. You also manage a party of 4 players and not just the one you make.

If you get the game and don’t have experience with DnD, definitely watch some battle mechanics videos cuz the game isn’t gonna explain all the nuances you should know to be effective.

It’s very good. D4 was also really good to be fair too, minmaxers just screamed a lot online while most people just played the game. I intentionally played a fire sorc this season because these people said it’s unplayable, currently in wt4 and doing tier 20 nm dungeons with my level 65 character so those people were obviously wrong.

This is just a case of making the game as profitable as possible. Most people still haven’t upgraded to the current generation and releasing the game again means a ton of money is gonna be made. This isn’t some result of fan outcry, EA just wants to get that bag.
