    1. Give all players a pause limit. A certain number of minutes per game and per pause, and a number of pauses. Players can’t pause anymore after going over their time limit or pause count limit. The game resumes after a pause’s time limit is reached.
    2. Pausing should happen after a delay of a certain number of seconds. So a player hits pause, countdown starts before actually pausing.
    3. Resuming from a pause also has a timer.
    4. Players’ pause stats are retained. People who take more pauses or spend more time pausing the game get matched with each other.





  • The problem with that is that it isn’t actually counting the R’s.

    You’d probably have better luck asking it to write a script for you that returns the number of instances of a letter in a string of text, then getting it to explain to you how to get it running and how it works. You’d get the answer that way, and also then have a script that could count almost any character and text of almost any size.

    That’s much more complicated, impressive, and useful, imo.




  • I support legal immigration, I empathize with illegal immigration (and think the laws could use adjustment in both directions)…but I don’t think all immigration should be legal.

    And no, it doesn’t change if they’re from “a Western country” or from somewhere that people look different from the majority in my country.

    We have rising unemployment among citizens, especially young people, yet corporations are taking advantage of immigrants in various ways. And immigrants of all kinds – legal, grey area, and illegal immigrants.

    We are selling the idea of a lifestyle to people in other countries that isn’t attainable unless you’re part of the top quintile (or possibly an even smaller group) of income. Then they come here, bringing their university educations, and are competing for jobs against high schoolers.

    I’m all about people coming to live in my country. But we’re doing a disservice to immigrants through our laws/regulations and our corporations. And people who are here illegally are usually the biggest victims; the most exploited.





  • Expanding on your first point, be aware of the difference between “workout” and “work out”.

    “Workout” is a noun. “Work out” is a verb. You can tell because you can conjugate the verb without having to split it apart.

    “He works out”, and not “He workouts” or “He worksout”. That’s how you know it needs a space.

    You can tell the one without a space is a noun because you can pluralize it. “Arm workouts for women”.

    As a bonus: “Every day” means “each and every day”. “Everyday” means “typical”, like for clothing.

    You could have “everyday clothes”. But you don’t “work out everyday” – you work out every day.

    It’s funny when someone says “i workout everyday” thinking they wrote three words, yet they made three spelling/grammar mistakes. Even monolingual English speakers make these kinds of mistakes.

    As others have described, people can steal money digitally the same way. Yes, real money is infinitely more trackable.

    That doesn’t mean crypto is a scam. It just means it’s not (as) trackable as traditional currencies.

    And I’m not a cryptobro or anything. I just don’t think cryptocurrencies are inherently “a scam”.

    This isn’t a problem of crypto being a scam. The scam was a video game in this case.

    If someone hides $30k in cash in their home, gets robbed, then the robber spends it all and dies penniless? The victim won’t get their money back. Same as this victim.

    That’d make cash just as much of a scam as crypto in these two scenarios.
