What I dealt, you must also have smelt

You have a powerful sense of smell, I sense a powerful smell, we are not the same.

Not really true, it’s part of religious shame propaganda in 12 step programs to make you more susceptible to conversion.

Might be effective in the short term, but has many other negative psychological effects.

Secular rehab programs are equally or more effective, and require no such shame or disempowerment.

Tl;dr: By having someone work to design and maintain the game economy, making sure it’s part of the development plan.

No actual details in the whole interview.

I don’t know where you’re at, but around here there are stores with refurbished phones, where you can play with last year’s models, and buy them at low-mid range prices. Sometimes they have 2-3 year old phones at a steal, some of the online ones have generous return policies as well, where you can try it for a bit and then send it back.

I’ve had Samsung androids for over a decade, and they’ve had smoother animation and less loading lag since about iPhone 4 (which I’ve used for work in the same period). They’ve also had comparable feedback on presses.

Then again, the HTC androids I’ve tried occasionally have been real bad, so I get the question.

You shouldn’t have to rely on the words of Internet random though, go try one out.

It has become embarrassingly clear that US Republicans are not interested in honoring alliances, reassurances, and good relations.

The world best take note that dealings with the Republicans must be transactional. And until they have no reasonable chance of governing, so must any deal with the US be concluded within a 2 year frame. And any nation being cheated by a cancelled deal have only themselves to blame.

Because it has been repeatedly shown that better social connections help get the right stuff done.

Trust, empathy, and liking each other allows for a generosity in dealings that is very conducive to communication, to problem solving, to finding ways to affect change in the organisation, to train/socialise workers into effective practices, to notice when the work is unbalanced or unaligned with the employee, to correct poor behaviour, and many more reasons.

A competent event organiser could plan to accommodate your introvert preference, and still achieve the prosocial goals.

You could have interactions in smaller groups at a time, have activities/breaks with social recovery (like solo or silent activities, spa/massage/meditation, simulators/noisy activities/activities in heavy gear), have solo parts of group activities (like solo brainstorms or reflective walks), have planned recovery time, etc.

If your social anxiety is that bad, you might need an exemption for health reasons, in the same way a ski trip could exempt someone with a broken leg.

But at least healthy people, including introverts, seemingly benefit immensely from prosocial activities at a workplace.

I’m sorry to hijack the thread, but have you tried brown noise (more like car noise than rain)? A bunch of people swear by it for making brain go quiet.
