I told the thugs that everything was her fault, I got my reward, and Bina very understandably began to hate me. At that point I could have attacked the thugs, but that didn't seem wise. I headed over to the docks, where both Bina and the man I'd just promised to help awaited my help. I plumped for the latter, figuring I might be able to scrounge up the money somehow. I had to choose whether to beat Veep up, or offer to pay his share - even though I was penniless. I duly went and spoke to the bloke (Veep), and it turned out he’d had to dip into his half to pay off debtors who were threatening to kill him. I'm hazy on the details, but it was for some risky venture involving dockyard thugs. It started with me taking contract from a woman named Bina, who wanted me to shake down a business partner who hadn’t come through with their half of the money. Testament to that is the way I finished my first quest without playing a single card. ![]() That's a bit harsh, because Griftlands is so much more than a card game. Griftlands would be more like the guy who does a big show and dance when you knock his drink over, but then doesn't want to take things outside because he sprained his knee the day before playing boules. If we were inside one of Griftlands' many shady bars, Monster Train and Slay The Spire would be the two hunks menacing up a corner that the rest of the clientele are too scared to go near. I should caveat this by saying that I've been playing in-between Monster Train runs, and so the poor thing was always going to suffer. Thing is, it gets flabby, and the parts where you're actually playing cards just aren't that great. Decisions constantly come back to haunt you in ways that feel seamless.

People on the receiving end of day-to-day discrimination often feel they’re in a state of constant vigilance, on the lookout for being a target of discrimination. Though microaggressions are often subtle, they can be just as harmful to health and well-being as more overt episodes of major bias. ![]() Such day-to-day discrimination frequently comes in the form of “microaggressions” such as snubs, slights, and misguided comments that suggest a person doesn’t belong or invalidates his or her experiences. Yet experts say that smaller, less obvious examples of day-to-day discrimination-receiving poorer service at stores or restaurants, being treated with less courtesy and respect, or being treated as less intelligent or less trustworthy-may be more common than major discrimination. Unfortunately, discrimination still occurs. The Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibit discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, sex, ethnic origin, age, and disabilities.The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability.Laws are in place to protect people from discrimination in housing and employment. People might even avoid situations where they expect they could be treated poorly, possibly missing out on educational and job opportunities. The anticipation of discrimination creates its own chronic stress. Regardless of your personal experiences, it can be stressful just being a member of a group that is often discriminated against, such as racial minorities or individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Stress evokes negative emotional responses, such as distress, sadness, and anger, and can often lead to an increase in behaviors that harm health, such as alcohol, tobacco, and other substance use, and a decrease in healthy activities, such as sleep and physical activity.ĭiscrimination can be damaging even if you haven’t been the target of overt acts of bias. Research has found that the experience of discrimination-when perceived as such-can lead to a cascade of stress-related emotional, physical, and behavioral changes. Stress and healthĭiscrimination is a public health issue. Often, discrimination stems from fear and misunderstanding. ![]() But the values we place on different categories are learned-from our parents, our peers, and the observations we make about how the world works. ![]() Very young children quickly learn the difference between boys and girls, for instance. The human brain naturally puts things in categories to make sense of the world. But explaining why it happens is more complicated. Discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of people and groups based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, or sexual orientation. ![]() There are many different open source licenses but they all must comply with the Open Source Definition - in brief: the software can be freely used, modified and shared.

Zoiper is 100% FREE, but some of its advanced features require you to purchase virtual credits to perform calls to landline and mobile numbers, send fax messages, and more. Thankfully, the installation procedure is simple and requires users to only follow simple on-screen instructions.

Most of the time, I hate non-standard iPhone UIs. Tweetbot gets called “heavy” sometimes, and while the description isn’t all that descriptive, I get what people mean when they use that term. (I’m an OG beta tester, yo.) I’ve seen Tweetbot when it lacked most of the features it has now, and I’ve seen it grow into the best Twitter client out there. I’ve been a Tweetbot user for a long time. You’ll feel better about yourself for giving some money to the writer of that article you ripped the ads out of instead of helping Marco pay for his self-important coffee. If you want to be a good Netizen, try using Readability. Sure I’ve given about $20 to Readability in four months, but the sites that are getting money from me are happy to get it, I’m sure. I paid $10 dollars for Instapaper and I’m sure no one beside Marco Arment ( or Apple) ever saw a cent of that money. Sure, it’s a free app and a free service, but if you choose to become a contributor, 70% of your contribution goes to the sites that you’re reading (provided they integrate Readability into their site) and 30% goes to Readability to cover maintenance and employee salaries, I suppose. I usually enjoy the stuff that I randomly come across through web searches more. I’ve never enjoy reading the articles that people link to. Folders in Instapaper led me to hold onto articles I should’ve just archived, the “friends” I had in Instapaper either had the same things I had saved or had articles that I had no interest in reading. There aren’t any social features, you don’t have “friends” but you also don’t have folders or feeds you can subscribe to. ![]() Readability is where Instapaper was, functionally, a few years ago. If you tap once on the screen, you get a menu at the bottom that lets you star, archive, delete, adjust style or share the article. You just swipe to the right and you’re back at the “Reading List”. I also love that there’s no “back” button while you’re reading an article. You can choose a look and log into your Twitter and Facebook accounts for sharing purposes. There’s not a whole lot to do in the settings. You can search your articles, move and delete them in batches, add articles from URLs or start a Google search and lastly access the settings. There’s also “・・・” button that gives you a few more things to do. There’s a “Reading List” button at the top that accesses your unread items, favorites and archived items. It’s got five great themes with modern fonts and both daytime and nighttime reading modes. Unlike Instapaper, it actually has a nice icon! It’s a very non-standard iOS UI. It didn’t have social features tacked on, it had beautiful themes, and it had better Kindle integration than Instapaper ever had. I tried out Readability since it was new and pretty and immediately loved it. After the major update that added that stupid browse bar, friends and changed the stars to hearts, I just hated looking at the iOS app. I was a paid Pro user back when it was still $10. It did a while ago as a service, but now that the Readability iOS app is out, I can safely say that I’ll never use Instapaper again. ![]() You can capture the video from the browsers or stream the video from devices like Twitch.
