Hello Legacy community,
​
Disclaimer: This list is flagged as legacy, but has not the dedication to play a league or something like that. Our local group plays all legacy legal cards, so this deck includes some cards not legal in other formats. The strengh of the decks I am facing with this list are like modern decks from a powerlvl perspective (Hammertime; Elves; Merfolk; 8-cast; 8rack; controlstuff; nearly to no combodecks).
I know how that pile looks and I am fully aware of this thing not being fully viable. I always wanted to play a cloudpost list, but I am not really into the green sun package the list runs (not to mention I dont have a playset of elvish reclaimers and not a single primetime). So to make up for that I use the karn toolbox, to help me out in crucial situations and more cantrips (11 in total without the golos). To approach the rather fast aggressive decks I face most of the time, I tried to do something like that: Against the idea of the a "normal" green post deck, which is about inevitability to cast an emrakul and call it a day, this deck wanted to be somewhat like a tron deck, with more proactive plays in the early game and more removal. My question is, if someone is able to provide some input or has experience with such an approach to the deck or may help me with the cardchoices (especially the landbase).
​
Explanation of cards I choose:
Golos Easy to cast without absurd amounts of mana and without needing two green sources like primetime. Often times the single cloudpost is enough of ramp to ensure me the win.
Karns Sylex Castable on turn two and expecially usefull agains my beloved friends shoving blood moon and back to basic into my face
ratched bomb Highly debatable, but I found this one better than warping wail against elves, Hammertime and all the other really fast "dont interact with me until turn three and its over" decks
Baby Ugin deals with problematic permanents like a karn does in tron and if unchecked let me cast karn + toolboxpice for like 5 mana
Sideboard Mostly a Karn wishboard, cause I dont need stuff like mindbreaktrap or the likes. Better sideboard suggestions are very welcome!

Thanks for helping a beginner out and have a nice day internet people.

I am 24M and here's my experiences with some women with whom I consider I shared a deeply emotional relationship. I have a few other female friends and acquaintaces as well but the connection isn't that deep.
Age 16, Sarah. I liked Sarah, we used to talk for hours but I was very chubby so never realistically had any chance. She knew I liked her but she got together with my friend. Somehow I knew it was just immature teen love so I wasn't as heartbroken over her. I had bigger fish to fry- universities.
Age 21, Nicole. I still think this girl would have become my ideal mate. We were equally ambitious, liked the same nerdy stuff and also agreed on countless things where the rest of the world would disagree. We understood each other. When I asked her out, she wasn't able to respond with a yes or no initially but later on decided to turn me down. She gave me the usual "you're my best friend" sort of a reply. One and a half year ago, she got together with my male best friend. When I tried to cut contact abruptly she said she "doesn't want things to change and doesn't want to lose her best friend". She switched countries about a year ago and I'm trying to move there for better job opportunities. She recently sent me a note which read, "Platonic friendship >>> everything else. OP, I regret that we didn't have much time together after we met but now I hope you come here soon so that we can hangout like always". I have reduced contact (by a lot) ever since she got together with my friend but still such a message feels very weird to send to somebody who you know had feelings for you. Am I being weird or is it really borderline inappropriate considering our twisted love-triangle-ish friendship?
Age 23, Zoey. Now I never had romantic feelings for Zoey and neither did she for me. But she has confided in me countless times. Whether it be professional frustrations or family issues, she always shares it with me. Actually we knew each other for more than 4 years but became very close friends only later. This is the first friendship I had with the opposite gender which feels deep yet completely platonic. More importantly, she puts the same effort into the friendship that I put in. In hindsight, I can also see how horribly lopsided my friendship with Nicole was because I had romantic feelings for her. I am describing this platonic relationship because she thinks I am very dependable and mature since she shares deeply personal thoughts and feelings with me. This is something I sense from other women as well but the difference being that I do have a romantic interest in them.
Age 24, Anna. I met Anna through a mutual friend. I was not remotely head over heels for her but I did have a small crush. We hung out together as a group. She even mentioned that I have a good sense of humor one time when she had no reason to be nice. She was recently laid off (now found another job 3 months later) so she took it personally. I used to talk about that a lot with her and made her understand that it's not personal or a comment on her competency. Once we were alone, she said she's never met such a "mature, practical" guy before. I felt we had a couple moments here and there but in hindsight I might be mistaken. I noticed that she never initiated a conversation with me unless I started one. Last we talked was when she wanted some help in brushing up her resume and was negotiating a salary at her new job. I have stopped initiating conversation ever since because I am just tired of people not putting the same effort as I do in our relationships- whether it be romantic or platonic. Before somebody calls this out- yes I did flirt with her- on multiple occasions but she didn't flirt back.
Age 24, Kat. I met Kat very recently at work. I am not completely sure how I feel about her but I would definitely want to go on some dates to see how it goes. We usually meet in the office. I tried to start a personal WhatsApp text chain with her but she doesn't seem very much into it so decided to pause that until she wants to text as well. She also pointed out an instance where I asked her if she reached home when she had mentioned she was travelling alone in a cab and said not all guys do that and she liked it. That's something I do for other female friends of mine as well- even Zoey. Our city is not the safest at night, so I always try to make sure they reach their homes safe before I start going on with my life. She mentioned she feels very comfortable around me and also shared a very personal incident she had at the office with just me apparently because she asked me to keep it to myself. Why am I mentioning this? Well, because the exact same thing is repeating with yet another girl!
Every girl I meet shares the same opinion- dependable, mature nice guy but they never have any interest in me romantically speaking. I am starting to feel that these women are describing their "safe choice" in a partner like, these are the qualities they want in a man but only after he's got smoldering looks or some other quality I don't have.
I am scared that I would be setup in an arranged marriage situation in my 30s with a woman who's tired to being single and just want to settle down. She wouldn't actually be attracted to me and both of us would die living a mediocre life if not loveless, and in the worst case resenting each other.

Hello guys. My english may not be that good since its not my first language. And its so hard for me to put it hear but at this point i don’t know what to do. I am a female in her mid 20s and I suffer from “Bad smell”. You might all be thinking shower, keep your hygiene but sadly I am actually a neat freak. But still i have it. And it happens when i sit on wood/ leather chairs. I don’t know or have an idea why it happens even after just stepping out of the shower. And the worst part is i cant smell its it just others who can smell it. I don’t know how much longer i can handle this its actually getting tougher and tougher.Its making me hate classes/library which i actually love going to. And it is so bad at meetings I really want to fix it but i don’t know what to do please please if you know anything to fix please share it and the ..................least don’t forget me in your prayers

I have been dating my partner for over a year now, I feel she knows me so well. I’ve always been a person who is very quick to share a lot of details about my life unprompted without questions, part of that might be ADHD, but I guess I always just assumed that other people just share the same way. But my girlfriend always asks a lot of questions and I know that that’s some thing that I lack in.
It takes a lot for her to feel comfortable sharing her interest, and she has expressed that she doesn’t feel that I know her the way that she knows me and I really really hate the thought of her feeling so lonely in this relationship. I love this woman, and I know she loves me. I really want to marry her and keep her in my life and be a part of hers. I don’t know what’s wrong with me I don’t know why I can’t just ask more specific questions I don’t know why it’s so difficult for me to be consistent in showing how much I am interested in the things that are important to her because I really am interested.
I know there have been several times when she has expressed to me how difficult this is, and has mentioned particular interest that she is told me about, but I have an asked more specific follow up questions, or taking the time to sit down and ask her to show me more about things when we’re together I mentioned these things and say that we should do those activities the next time we meet up but I really lack in following through.
I feel like an extremely selfish boyfriend and I think it’s getting to the point where it may make her want to end our relationship and I can’t blame her. I’m trying to think of new ways that I can make my self develop better habits in this regard. When she has expressed these sentiments in the past, I try to ask more in the following days and weeks about those interest but in those moments, it always feels forced to her because it’s after she’s had to have these conversations with me. Then because she won’t feel comfortable sharing, I often start forget again and become less consistent and asking those questions. Today one of these conversations happened again and she said that she’s getting very tired of this.
I don’t know why I can’t do this, right I don’t know why I can’t communicate my interest in her interests and her worldview consistently. I don’t know what’s wrong with me and I don’t know if I am a good partner for her. I know that I really really really love her and I want her to feel that I care about her and all the things that make her the special person that I know she is the person that I love her. I know that if I felt the way that she is describing I would feel very upset and lonely. I don’t want to lose her but I don’t want her to feel this way either.
Does anyone have any tips for a way I can remind myself and be more consistent? I know from what I’ve described. It may not seem like I am interested, but I truly am I want her to feel comfortable sharing more of herself with me and I want to get better about asking questions. This might sound stupid because it should be easy to express these sentiments. I just don’t know what’s wrong with me.
Would she be better off without me in her life? I know she loves me and she says she wants to marry me as well but I want her to feel like she’s known by her future husband I feel so ashamed to even have to ask these questions. I don’t want her to waste her time on a relationship that doesn’t leave her feeling cared for and fulfilled in the ways that she deserves. I just want her to be happy and fulfilled and I want to be the person who can help provide that but lately I’ve just been doubting that I can change given that this conversation has happened at least three times.

Ill start off with my basics, I don't have limits to the roleplay besides death, but if you do express them to me clearly and when roleplaying, if you find yourself uncomfortable tell me to stop what I'm doing wrong please. I usually write around semi to adv literate, but i can go even longer if i get super into it, otherwise i really do try to match my partners length. Im chill with anything from the shorter end of semi-lit to longer end of adv-lit. I am in the GMT time zone if that is of any help, i write in third person only and do so on discord.
The OC Im going to use for this is named Jade. She's 6'1, 29F, has white curly/fluffy shoulder length hair. Typically wears a tight fitted top, dress pants and gloves, trench or lab coat is depending on the weather. She has bright green eyes, is pretty pale and wears round glasses. She's extremely smart, and works on and off in the biochem industry (both her now dead parents were wealthy enough to give her inheritence thats left her not needing a full time, consistent job). Personality wise, she's quite closed off and naturally hostile, not extremely expressive besides when her anger issues spike, rarely trusts anyone she isnt fully sure she can actually truly trust. Not a lot of people know personal details to her life.
I like a lot of different genres, scifi, modern, fantasy, you name it I'd probably do it. I'd love to slot Jade into a "ethnically&morally questionable (mad) scientist" kind of role if you'd enjoy that, and I'd like to do the roleplay in a sci-fi space travel kind of setting but im open to anything else if youre interested in my OC but dont like Scifi. Theres lots of different kinds of things/plots/ideas within that kind of universe i enjoy, but if you need anything to go off of I enjoy mainly weird power dynamics, opposites attract, meeting by fate and toxic relationships kind of stuff. On the opposite attracts kind of topic, I think I think from Jade's description its clear what id be looking for in your OC. I think pairing an OC whos smalleshoter, sweet and a little naive with Jade would suit my tastes, and make how Jade interacts with the OC more pleasant. We could start off right from how they meet, or them in an already committed longterm relationship, so really we could come up with pretty much anything together.
If you're interested in, dm me. Include your OC+ details in your dm if thats possible, along with what kind of plot you'd be interested in/if youre not interested in anything sci-fi.

Quick question for you all. What do you do with out-of-date references?
I have a job on my CV for which I was written recommendations on Search and ISS. The job was 10yrs ago and one reference is no longer in education and the other is deceased. I know I cannot remove them as references myself, as ISS/Search won’t let me do that (I think, anyway).
Do I remove the Job from my CV/ Recruitment Profiles (which would be odd due to the existing references) or do I tell every interviewer looking to check my references for that job that the folks that wrote them are unreachable?
Would most level-headed hiring teams even look back that far?
I do have a service letter from the school but it’s as old as the reference.
Thanks in advance!

WHAT IS LIKE A DRAGON: ISHIN!
\Inserts UPBEAT music to hype the narration*-*
*Clears throat and starts narrating in an absolutely evidently not boring, hyping tone in accordance to the beat's tempo\*
- Like A Dragon: Ishin! is an Spin-Off Action-Adventure JRPG that was initially released in 2014, but it was never released globally, according to a source, it is because the team was afraid that it wouldnt do well outside of Japan due to heavy cultural implementation it has on the game, hardcore fans like myself and many others has been screaming for localization for almost a decade for its localization. and now we got it! lets GOOOO BABY!!
-The new Like A Dragon Ishin has been what to PC owners call "Overclocked". it is not simply a remaster, it is rebuilt from the scratch on a completely new engine, tons of contents has also been added to the game to add to the experience. or it can simply be called......... *DRUM ROLLS* *MUSIC TRANSITIONS\* KIWAMII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
*Continues narration in the new background music\*
--It is a game of life, it is a game of sadness, it is a game of fun, it is a game of seriousness, it is a game of philosophy and MORE IMPORTANTLY IT IS A GAME that would allow you to slash people with katana in half, break their skull, break their throat's windpipe and second later be inside a store playing claw-machine WITHOUT consequence and still canonically "NEVER KILLED A MAN". "A CALM AND REASONABLE PERSON". It is a game where you could lose best of friends, your very woman and just seconds later FLIRTS with hostesses while ordering expensive drinks asking about their MEN's preference and hobbies, The magnificence of the game series is UNMATCHED. simply put, the series. after almost 2 decades, is at its ALL-TIME HIGH, There is not a good time like the present to enjoy Yakuza/LIke A Dragon series!
As for the protagonist...... *ANOTHER MUSIC TRANSITION\*
-HE IS, The man of the HOUR, who's too sweet to be SOUR, the women's PET and the Men's REGRET, the reflection of PERFECTION, the man who got my ATTENTION, the one with the greatest ARMS, the one with the best CHARMS,The one who's physiques don't need no SARMS and the one who's gonna do alot of HARM!
HE IS KIRYU KAZUMA!! *clears throat\*. I mean RYOOOOOMAAAAAA SAKAMOTOOOOO!!!!!
- Set during late 1860s Ryoma Sakamoto starts as a Goshi (the lowest class of samurais) however, his brilliance for sword-fight is amongst the highest, I refuse to say much because I want everybody reading this to buy the game and experience the greatness for yourselves! I REFUSE to rob you of anything regarding this masterpiece! give the game a chance it deserves!. it might sound like a game where only men plays, but data shows very high number of women players as well. so ladies pick it up! and treat yourself to a journey of "LIKE A DRAGON!!* *
WHY I WANT THE GAME?
*A New Chapter of music rekindled\*
- I am one of the biggest Yakuza/Like A Dragon Fan, I have been playing the game ever since it first released as a 6 year old boy back in 2005-2006, I never paid attention to any games as much as I do with Yakuza/LAD, in other word, the game grew up with me, we watched each other grow, with many changes I had in life, from the time where everything was so happy and carefree, to the time where everything went to the rubbish with my family breaking apart, parents divorce, and to the current time where we are building everything back up from scratch, trying to KIWAMI my life. Yakuza/LAD has never failed me to get my emotion off whenever I insert the discs on my Playstation, more than a game, it is my bestfriend. I know the word "it means alot to me" has been thrown around much, but with this game I am truly grateful with the deepest center of my heart.

It seems offensive to me.
People usually don't name their pets after famous women, except as an offense toward them.

While Angels of the Zariman is still full of bugs. Armageddon mobs spawning on the wrong defence point and attacking the relic or completely miserable/impossible to do solo like Cascade where exolizers spawn 4 tiles apart over and over until you fail.
This weeks Nightwave reminds me why I quit for nearly a year after this came out.

I have been having a rough time, and I don't have anyone to turn to. So I'm posting here in hopes maybe I'll get a little support or something.
Lately I just feel so done with being sick, it's been a little over three years now since I developed POTS post viral. I had also been diagnosed w/ SVT at the same time and underwent an ablation in fall of 2020. I'm also dealing with Pmdd and a few other things.
Nothing has helped me at all during this time, I've done all the treatments that have been recommended to me from various meds, salt/water and I also did physical therapy. (and believe me I don't want anymore advice on it when it's the same damn thing every time, I have exhausted the options). My ablation was not a total success either and my arrythmia came back 8 months later but it's far less frequent thankfully. During the latter half of my first year being sick I was bedbound, but now I'm just housebound. I had to drop out of University, leave my job, I can't drive anymore. I'm dependent on my family. I stubbornly tried so many times during the first year of my diagnosis' to go out only for it to end badly. So I stopped.
I'm stuck living with my Mom, which is my worst nightmare. She is the most stressful person for me to be around, and she's mentally/emotionally abusive. She doesn't believe I'm sick or disabled, and tonight she said I'm just hallucinating this shit (wtf?) She has made constant threats to kick me out since I had to come back here, and wants me institutionalized (so does my dad). I can't live with my Dad because he says there's no room between him my stepmom, and her mom.
When I moved back in I was also forced to give up my cats that I had since childhood, and placed them with my Aunt. One of them passed away in November. I had only gotten to see him once in the last year of his life and that was to say goodbye. I will never forgive myself for not being able to be there, I'm angry that my illnesses robbed the last of my time with him.
I also applied for disability 2 years ago. I'm now going to court in a month in front of a judge. I personally don't think they're going to approve me, and I fear I'm going to have a complete meltdown when that happens because I'll truly have no way out of this house and be trapped with my mom. My Dad is going to be my witness because I don't trust my mom, and she's been demanding that she be the witness despite not caring/knowing and ignoring everything that goes on with me. I'm afraid I don't have enough evidence either, because my Dad refuses to take me to my specialist appointments anymore because they're an hour away. I'm gonna let him explain that to the judge.
I am 24. Watching everyone I used to know get engaged, married, have kids, buy houses and start careers while I have my whole life in 4 boxes and sleep on a couch. Most of the things I care about are gone. I found out the ex I lived with before I got sick is having a kid the other day. Meanwhile a good day for me is just getting in the shower.
I've done some searching for city resources too, even if I were to get disability I wouldn't be able to move out. The city waitlist has been closed since 2019, and who knows when it'll reopen. My three friends are not an option either.
I'm truly afraid of what's going to happen to me. These fears have been amplified by my friends parent passing away recently. Because I realize once my parents are gone I'm completely fucked. But I'm also just sitting here waiting for my Mom to push me completely over the edge, she does not want me here and has told me she just wants her life and couch back and that I have ruined everything. She thinks this is a choice and goes on about how she wants grandkids and that I need to take care of her when she's older. I can't even take care of myself! I can't have kids either, and don't forsee myself ever being in another relationship. I'd be too vulnerable. This is another area of grief.
I'm tired. I don't have the support I need from the people I need it from. I don't think of the future anymore, and every road has led to a dead end. I've always exhausted all options for a solution when it comes to my issues. Only this time I'm not sure there is one. It's gonna take a miracle this time.

I’d like some advice. I am currently doing a bachelor in Europe in microengineering. I will do a master with the goal of at least try academia(PhD). But I can’t decide if I want to go into robotics (my consecutive master, I like the idea of seeing physical results) or computational science (to get more math). What advice do you have to separate the two? What the are the job perspective in academia and in industry? I tried comparing their student project to see if something motivates me more than the other. Any other ideas? I could possible mix them together but I’m not sure if that would be useful.

Welcome back to Cottage's Corner! I had a lot of fun with pulling together the stats for last week, so I thought I might give you all some more fun numbers with fun facts. This even might become a bit of a regular thing, depending on how many fun things I can find!
As I'm sure we've all noticed, a lot of the games so far this season have been quite close, with a lot of tight scorelines. But the burning question remains; is this recency bias? Or is there actually a trend that we can track has been occurring? Let's find out!
Here is the total average margin for each year, counting the first four rounds of this season and the five seasons preceding it:

Season	Average Winning Margin
2018	13.2
2019	14.1
2020	14.8
2021	18.3 (yikes)
2022	13
2023	9.1

As you can see, so far the margin is an incredible 9.1, which is nearly 4 points below the second closest margin. In fact, even more amazing, if you want to take away the Dragon's recent capitulation against the Sharks, we were sitting at an average margin of just 8.4 points. Incredible!
However, does this prove what we want it to prove? Maybe... however I hear you ask, what if there aren't actually closer games, what if it's just less likely we see a blowout. That, my friend, would be a fair question to ask, and so I answer it here:

Season	Number of "Close Games"*	Likelihood of Close Games
2018	13	40.6%
2019	7	21.9%
2020	10	31.3%
2021	6	19.8% (yikes)
2022	13	40.6%
2023	16	50%

*NRL.com classifies a "Close Game" as a game that ends with a margin of 6 or less points.
So far, this season has had half of its games decided by 6 points or less, which is an accomplishment that we haven't come close to in recent history! Given this, and the statistic looking at scorelines, it can be reasonably assumed that games this year are indeed much tighter contests, which we love to see!!
Other fun things of note:

• 2021 was a terrible, terrible year. Yikes.
• Round 3 of 2023 was the only round from my analysis that had more close games than not (5/8). In spite this, it wasn't the round with the lowest average margin for the year so far (once again, thanks to the Dragons. That honour goes to Round 2, with an average margin of 8.25.
• There was at least one NSFW scoreline (30+) in the first 3 rounds of every season from 1998 to 2021. In the majority of these cases, the NSFW occurred in the first round.
• Both 2022 and 2023 took 4 rounds to get a NSFW, however 2022 had 2 NSFWs in Round 4 whereas this season only had 1, which means this season is even better than last year.

Alright, that's all from me for now! If you have anything you're interested in hearing more about, let me know and I might put it on my todo list for what I put up next Sunday night :) Until next week my friends!

Basically, I was holding off on my homework because I didnt want to do it, it was hard, I already knew everything, and there was no use in doing it bc we werent gonna need to know this unless its for a specific job I know im gonna get and that I actually have the qualifications for it. Either way, I didnt do it and my mom started screamkng at me because I was on a call with my friend. Then, I left the call and she left. Then, a bit later, she came in asking for my phone. I said no because it was tge only way I could communicate with my friends and I need to talk to them bc theyre planning on running away. Then, she raised her voice and I kept on saying no. Then, she started trying to yank me off my bed, she grabbed my lower leg and slapped my thighs, and she even started to yank on my clotjes. Note, I have sh scars on my thighs. She knows this. I got mad and threw my phone and she then started hitting me lower body. I put my legs up against her to keep her away from me so I wouldnt get hurt and that js made her more violent. She then threatened to beat me with a belt and call my dad. She threatened to LITTERALLY ABUSE ME. THATS NOT RIGHT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EVEN IF I WASNT GIVING HER MY PHONE. Then she left my room and I saw the razor. My eyes were red, so I decided to make my wrist copy my eyes. Then I threw my razor somewhere in my room and svreamed at my mom from across the house that I relapsed because of her. Then, hours later, I tried apoligizing for what I did and then I asked her to apologize for everything she did. She said that I was the reason she did those things and rven went as far to say that I WAS THE REASON I REKAPSED. NO IT FUCKING WASNT AMANDA, IT WAS FUCKING YOU. YOU SHOULDNT HAVE THREATENED TO BEAT ME, YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE ONE THING I CAN USE MY FRIENDS WHEN I CANT ASSURE THEIR SAFETY, YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TRIED TO PHYSICALLY ATTACK ME AND GET EVEN MORE MAD FOR DEFENDING MYSELF. When I called her out for that and said she was gaslighting me, she went on to say "Yea sure im gaslighting ypu, but its your own fault you did what you did" LIKE NO WTF THATS NOT RIGHT YOU WERE LITTERALLY BEATEN BY YOUR DAD WITH THE BELT YOU REALLY WANT YOUR CHILD TO GO THROYGH THE SANE THINGS YOU DID? WTF. SERIOUSLY. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? NOW SHE'S MAKING ME FEEL LIKE JOINING MY FRIENDS ABT THEM RUNNING AWAY. SERIOUSLY GO FUCK YOUR SELF MOM I FCKING HATE YOU. After all of that, (whuch happened technically 2 days ago) I still feel enraged and sad about it and idk if Im in the wrong or if she is.

I'm reading book 2 and everyone talks like Dumbledore being the headmaster is essential for there not being more attacks. But why? It seems like he does nothing, how is Harry and gang able to figure out the mystery and solve it, while the schools struggles to do absolutely the bare minimum. Seems to me like Dumbledore does a piss poor job at keeping the school safe.
Like why couldn't he cast som sort of spell that as soon as some gets petrified he gets notice so he can teleport there and kill the monster. Seems like he's powerfull enough to that.

Hello, fellow Redditors!
We recently discussed an inspiring vision of how AI could revolutionize the job market, empower individuals, and address global issues. While the potential benefits are undoubtedly exciting, it's also essential to consider the potential risks, concerns, and unintended consequences of such an AI-driven transformation. As a devil's advocate, I'd like to highlight some of these concerns for discussion:
Privacy and data security: To effectively analyze and match individuals with job opportunities, AI would need access to personal information, such as CVs, online profiles, and other data sources. This raises concerns about privacy and the security of sensitive data, particularly if it is misused or falls into the wrong hands.
Algorithmic bias: AI algorithms can unintentionally perpetuate and even amplify existing biases, especially when they're trained on historical data that reflects societal inequalities. This could lead to unfair job matching or exclusion of certain individuals or groups from opportunities.
Malicious use and manipulation: As AI systems become more powerful and influential, there's a risk that individuals or groups with malicious intent could exploit these technologies for their own gain. For example, they might manipulate the AI system to prioritize their interests, unfairly influence the job market, or undermine efforts to address global issues. The potential for misuse of AI-driven systems raises important questions about security, transparency, and governance, and highlights the need for robust safeguards and oversight mechanisms to prevent exploitation.
Perception of global issues: People and organizations may have different perspectives on what constitutes a global issue, and opinions can be influenced by culture, politics, economic interests, and personal beliefs. This diversity of opinion makes it difficult to reach a consensus on which problems should be prioritized and addressed by AI-driven systems.
Profit and power motives: Some issues may be framed as global problems to advance the interests of large institutions, companies, or empires. AI-driven systems must be designed to critically evaluate the legitimacy and urgency of such issues and avoid being manipulated by profit and power motives.
AI-driven bias: AI systems are trained on data, which inherently reflects the biases present in society and the perspectives of the creators. These biases can inadvertently influence the way AI systems identify and prioritize global issues, potentially skewing the focus toward the interests of specific groups or institutions.
Loss of human agency: By relying heavily on AI for decision-making, there's a risk that individuals may lose some of their agency and the ability to make informed decisions about their careers. Overreliance on AI might make people feel disconnected or disempowered.
Economic disruption: Rapid AI-driven changes in the job market could lead to economic disruption, as industries adapt to new technologies and processes. This may result in job displacement and require extensive reskilling, leading to short-term unemployment and social unrest.
Ethical considerations: The ethical implications of allowing AI to have such a profound influence over humanity's decisions and actions need to be carefully considered. Issues of transparency, accountability, and potential biases in AI systems must be addressed to ensure that AI serves humanity in a responsible and beneficial manner.
Centralization of power: With AI playing a central role in guiding humanity and allocating resources, there's a risk of centralizing power and decision-making. This could potentially lead to a lack of diversity in perspectives and approaches to problem-solving.
Overemphasis on quantifiable metrics: AI-driven systems may focus too heavily on quantifiable metrics and overlook the importance of human qualities like empathy, creativity, and emotional intelligence, which are harder to measure but crucial for addressing complex global issues.
Technological dependency: As we increasingly rely on AI systems, there's a risk of becoming overly dependent on technology. This dependency could make us vulnerable to technological failures or cybersecurity attacks, which might have far-reaching consequences.
Misaligned goals: AI systems are designed to optimize specific objectives, but these objectives might not always align with human values or societal priorities. If an AI system's goals are not properly aligned, it could inadvertently create outcomes that are detrimental to society.
Lack of emotional connection: AI-driven systems might not be able to fully appreciate the emotional and personal aspects of human interactions. This could lead to a depersonalized experience in the job market, where human connections and relationships are undervalued.
Adaptability challenges: As AI systems evolve and become more sophisticated, they may adapt to changing circumstances in unexpected ways. This unpredictability could make it challenging for humans to understand and manage AI systems effectively.
Digital divide: The benefits of AI-driven systems might not be distributed evenly, potentially widening the gap between those with access to technology and those without. This digital divide could exacerbate existing inequalities and create new disparities in the job market and beyond.
It's essential to consider these potential downsides, along with the benefits, when evaluating the impact of AI-driven systems on the job market and global problem-solving. Fostering an open dialogue and considering diverse perspectives can help us navigate these complex issues and ensure that AI is developed and deployed responsibly.
I invite you to join the discussion and share your thoughts on these concerns, as well as any other potential risks and challenges related to the AI-driven transformation of the job market and global problem-solving. Let's explore the potential consequences and ensure that we're making informed decisions as we move towards a future shaped by AI.

Hi node enthusiasts!
I would like to share with the community a quick practical example of some benefits for using IoC, this is part of my journey for delving an adopting good practices in software development.
Typescript is becoming the facto standard in enterprise projects and sadly I don't have the opportunity to deep on it how I would like as part of my current job position, so studying and sharing content in my spare time is the only way to be up to date.
Also this could help others as like me are embracing Typescript and need to get rid of some vices of using vanilla javascript.

Please any feedback is welcome

First time playing Kaiserreich as Germany of course, I found it extremely hard and nearly lost. I can handle Eastern&Western Front battles easily, but constant large naval invasions and rebellions in Poland and Lithuania nearly crushed me then I ran out of oil and equipment got super low. What is the best strategy to survive?

Just finished Act 1, I’m basically done with the beta. My main takeaway is that D4 is an amazing game with some needlessly awful UI choices. I think there are some small changes that can made very easily before launch that would drastically improve the gameplay experience.

1. Item tooltips are a clusterfuck. Its impossible to tell whats going on at a glance, they’re unbelievably wordy / bloated. Theres also no method to the madness of how this deluge of information is arranged. The whole gameplay loop of Diablo revolves around constantly finding and replacing gear, you will spend literally hours trying to decipher these. They need to be MUCH clearer to read.
2. The skills menu is a clusterfuck. Why does it require me to scroll down AND zoom in? Why is it a tiny little box taking up barely a third of my screen? It’s incredibly annoying to navigate, it’s like it was made to be viewed on a mobile phone. Rotate it 90 degrees so it fills the whole screen and I can see everything at once. Also allow us to make loadouts. I want to try different builds, but clicking a bazillion boxes every time I want to do that is a huge hassle (especially with the current UI). Removing the respec fee would also be nice. Why are we penalised for wanting to try different things? Pls, we just won this battle over on WoW. Literally just copy / paste the talent system from over there. There’s no reason not to.
3. The character creation screen is a clusterfuck. 30 makeup options, and they're all condensed into a single button I have to click 30 times to rotate through them one by one? Same goes for the dyes, to a lesser extent. Just, allow more space for things. It's so cramped and it doesn't need to be
4. The map needs to be an overlay that doesn’t interfere with your ability to navigate the world. I have to stop everything I’m doing to orientate myself atm, I have to do that often, and it’s kind of a chore. Just stick with the D3 system. If it ain’t broke, don’t break it.
5. The ability / health panel is one, needlessly enormous, and two, randomly floating in the air? It doesn’t matter if it’s center or left aligned, in both orientations there’s a tonne of wasted space. Please let us have it sit flush against the edge of the screen, and also scale it down. It’s kind of just haphazardly slapped on as is. Not a huge deal, but it’s messy and taking up a LOT of space it doesn’t need to.

The art, music and general gameplay of D4 are fucking phenomenal, so it’s a shame the UI is so clunky it detracts from it all. I don’t think there’s enough time before release to fix things like how repetitive the dungeons are or how poor the story telling is, but these are very simple tweaks that can be made quickly and would have a HUGE impact on general game feel. So, yeah. Something something thanks for coming to my TED talk.
