The administration and billing side can also be confusing for a lot of non-technical business owners.

The hurdle is more than just building the site, a lot of really small non-technical businesses don't want the trouble of handling the billing and maintenance of the site.

It wasn't always this way. In the past Republicans actually had some decency. That went out the window after they elected Trump twice.

I would like to compare the various free and paid AI subscription plans, primarily from the most popular vendors like ChatGPT, Claude, Google, etc.

I can find countless static webpages, YouTube videos, etc. that compare subscriptions, but their information quickly becomes out-of-date, or isn't detailed enough.

I'm looking for a tool that grabs the latest information on what each plan provides (features, models, context windows, etc.), and compares them across different subscriptions. I imagine this information would be obtained from API calls or scraping. The comparison tool should not rely on AI to get its information.. I want the latest facts (ideally checked at least once a day).

Gamers are very passionate about their games and the companies behind them. They are also very anti-AI, pro consumer rights, and pro unions. At least the vocal majority of gamers, such as on /r/games, which is where a good portion of gaming journalists get their takes.

It would be the end of id Software from a PR standpoint if they fired union developers responsible for their beloved titles, specifically the recent DOOM titles. The bad PR would also extend to ZeniMax, Bethesda, and Microsoft.

That said, gamers are also the worst at voting with their wallet. Despite all the bad union PR Rockstar North is receiving, pretty much everyone in support of the fired employees will probably still end up buying GTA6 because of FOMO and hype.

I'm not saying you should be wholly selfish, but you shouldn't be wholly selfless either.

"Love thy neighbor as thyself"

If you don't love yourself first, can you really love others to your fullest? Or in the context of your post, if your wellbeing is not the most important thing in your life, are you really able to do the best job at providing utility to others?

Too many wealthy people neglect their own wellbeing in the pursuit of providing utility to others, only to find themselves miserable later in life or die young due to poor health.

I think you meant Star Wars Galaxies, which was definitely ahead of its time and few MMORPGS have replicated its sandbox MMORPG since.

The future of television is watching bots play video games? What a sad future.

If you have a coworker in their 30s or 40s who is just starting to get into mountain biking (a common midlife crisis hobby), expect them to have a MTB related injury within the next year.

Eventually I came to the conclusion that chronic pain isn't curable. It's our nerves rewiring themselves to constantly send pain, even when no problem exists.

This also gave me peace though. Until I tried everything, I thought my body was breaking down. I'm a very physically active person, who has tried to be proactively healthy their whole life.

Knowing the pain isn't organ or muscle related, but is just fucked up nerves, is consolation. It's not preventing me from doing anything. I still have full range of motion and mobility, it just hurts, but it can't stop me from doing the things I want to do.

So I continue to be active. I have a very high pain tolerance as a result, but I can cope with the pain better than years ago. Last year I hiked the whole 2,600+ miles Pacific Crest Trail despite the pain. Strangely enough, my pain actually mostly disappeared on the trail, but returned after I got home. I think the sudden change of daily habits and sleep conditions may have thrown my nervous system in for a loop.
