What percentage of their workforce is straight out of college? Because that sounds like a loving disaster. People straight out of education are at that precise point where they don't know enough to produce high quality work but enough to do huge amounts of damage. This doesn't mean they're useless, they can be really good but they need huge amounts of supervision until they become more experienced.

SC being produced by basically a bunch of students with poor direction would explain so much.
Not sure about the European offices, but the "developers" hired in Austin a few years ago were straight out of community college. Not UT Austin or some respected University with a four year program. Literal community colleges with night classes.

Maybe he should give up stuffing his stupid fat oval office face at every conceivable opportunity instead.

I've had plenty of ultragoon friends that have some kind of addiction (typically food) so the cheesecake factory thing stood out.

You know a doctor told him he needs to lose weight, because he is at a huge risk of just dropping dead because he is almost at that point where someone is too fat to get out of bed. He was just hospitalized with a life threatening issue, which even if it wasn't related to his fat (it was) should have made him realize he is in his 30s and could use this as a wake up call to live another 30-40 years instead of just dropping dead from his enlarged heart being able to support a dude that is 3x - 4x the size he should be.

Nope, it was probably like

"We need to celebrate! Let's eat out because you got out of the hospital!"
"We should be eating healthy....but.....it's our anniversary so when else can you indulge yourself?!"

Which will just transition into eating whatever they want(everything), whenever they want(all the time) like they always have.

I would think a loving relationship would be a frank conversation about being on the verge of literal death because you are so disgustingly fat and then mutually deciding to eat healthy so you can have a long life together, instead of smashing cheesecakes into your fat loving face.

"Enjoy your third anniversary Honey? because this has a significant chance of being our last one. More cheesecake?"

That's what Disney does in the hobo state. EA Sports, too.

That and send out job offers that are insanely bad so they can justify the H1B. Every time there's a new opening, I get recruiters out the rear end trying to offer me a huge paycut and terrible working conditions.

Edit: Cheesecake Factory is one of the only places that you can get a 1000 calorie salad.

He said his lab results are good. I can believe that. Some people have good genetics.

Dudes like 35. People saying he's going to drop in a year or two are overdoing it a bit. The damage from being that obese builds up over time. Kind of like smoking. You can smoke 2 packs a day for years with very few ill effects. Well guess what, you are 45 and now have emphysema.

He's a few cheesecakes away from being immobile fat. We aren't talking could stand to lose a few pounds here.

Oh I understand completely. I've known people who've struggled with weight, I know it's sometimes not that simple. I might post like I'm a completely callous oval office, but I'm not really (okay, maybe a little bit).

Every time I start to develop a shred of sympathy for Ben though, he goes and opens his mouth.

Nah I'm agreeing with you, not justifying his behavior.

He has every indication and reason to stop being so hugely fat. It's his anniversary, he just got out of the hospital with a life threatening condition. Those things portray "FUTURE" and "DEATH" pretty well. The two things above all else that should make someone change their habits.

NOPE. Gonna smash some cheesecakes into my fat loving face for ___________ reason. Start your Wing Commander memorials now because my fat rear end isn't seeing 40, but cheese cake is just so good!

I will go on occasion, but it's something in moderation. Lovely loving cheesecake.

In fact, one of the biggest issues I had when I hit the US was keeping my loving weight down, because by god, do they load down everything with mouth-feel, dopamine-squirting sugars and fats. Took me a good deal of time finding a bread that wasn't sweet, and I've avoided Hawaiian rolls based on reputation alone.

I'm not some health nut, it's just that I topped out 300lbs (stress eating when I lost a daughter), and it literally horrified me enough to get my BMI to sane levels.

No, see, what you do is literally double that 300lbs, and then add some.

THEN you eat cheesecakes and tell everyone you "maybe could stand to lose some weight"

I'm pretty sure shitizens are capitalizing on the disappointment that was always going to come with No Man's Sky.

nerds had this idea of some magical infinite universe full of possibilities where you could build star empires and get lost in universal exploration. Nearly all of that was made up.

So some guy bought an early copy and reminded everyone that this is a video game, that exists, and has limitations because now it exists in a realistic context, outside of the dreams and hopes of imagination.

Shitizens were out within hours posting smugly about how Star Citizen was obviously so much better, Star Citizen wouldn't disappoint, and that anyone upset over the disappointment should go back Star Citizen because it would make all their dreams come true.
