Paper Jam looks a little crap, honestly. But I've never been that into the M&L series.

I enjoyed Dream Team, it was a blast.  I also like paper mario, except for sticker star.
I never played any of those Mario RPG games
I played the one on the wii, it was okay
Wait you've never played Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door?  It's one of the finest video games ever made.
Just thinking about that game makes me get excited.  It's amazing.
Paper Jam felt almost as much a goodbye to all of the Mario RPGs as Mario Maker does to 2D Mario platformers. It combines the PM and M&L branches and the story goes back to being so basic like it hasn't been since Paper Mario 1, but then goes one step further. It really made me appreciate the seven McGuffins of the past, because without that there can apparently be no structure. The M&L combat you're looking for is as good as ever and probably the most difficult yet, but as the series went along normal enemy battles felt increasingly more repetitive due to the excessive attack animations, and this game definitely tops that again - your own team attacks are no exception. Playing this right after a similar game like Undertale, which is paced lightning-fast by comparison, really made that stand out. Everything else felt mediocre at best, and it's again filled with mandatory subgames no one asked for.

Ugh, the mental exhaustion of trying to design a web page according to other people's aesthetic and layout preferences is for real.
web design is just :( :(

it's a shame you know, the point of HTML was that it was meant to be something anyone could write

that didn't last very long

I actually do, especially nowadays with what you can do with transitions and the like.  I just wish I could do more of it for me instead of 50-something business owners.

i love how powerful it is. i don't love actually writing it lol

That has been debunked many times

So debunked that my state had to pass yet another bill to ensure equal pay in the year of our lord 2015 lol.

Like, shit's better than it was but anyone acting like the complaints people continue to have aren't valid isn't paying attention at all. I mean they don't have to if they don't want to, I'd prefer if more people stayed out of it and let people that actually give a shit deal with things. If only so I'd have to hear less overzealous screaming from people deciding they need to have an opinion one way or another and that theirs is very important.

Probably doesn't help having social media everywhere, leads people to think they HAVE to participate even when they don't and probably shouldn't.

Okay, yeah.  It's inevitably disgustingly messy as the amount of time spent on the project increases.  Can't argue that point.

But there's a reason they make less money and it has nothing to do with sexism.  Women who have the same resume, the same experience, and do the same work as men typically get paid just as much as men do.  But as a whole, women work less than men and are more likely to go after lower paying jobs. This has always been true.

This is very old, and you would think that if there was a sexist pay gap then it would be worse then than it is now, but it's the same today.  skip to 2:20


I've no doubt that there are some employers who pay people unfairly because of sexism, racism, or any other unfair reason, but overall the sexist pay gap is a manipulation of data that doesn't account for some important factors.

no, the stats i see always specifically state "for women in the same position, same experience, etc"

that's the whole problem lol

obviously if they're not in the same position they're not going to get equal pay, no one would doubt that
I think the real confusion starts when people confuse getting paid less and earning less, which are somewhat different things.

Of course.  You say that as if you aren't aware that the pay gap myth doesn't account for this.
