Oh neat - I've been waiting for this UI for a while so I'm excited to try it out. I don't think it will impact me much beyond the entry swapper though.
It's definitely got a genetic factor, but tea and a 12 oz cup of coffee aren't excessive amounts of caffeine. The side-effects should be (hopefully) mild and mostly unnoticeable, except perhaps a day or two after quitting
I think there are a couple flaws in this design that seem to be glossed over. Granted the video was very long for this kind of topic so perhaps I missed the counterpoints. But, to me they are:
the hoverpack negates the need to jump over everything, so the initial point is very early game focused, and in the early game you're building simple things
you should never really need a top down view of your factory to understand it. Manifolds are very simple, there isn't a lot to figure out once it's already built, and frankly if you build large, spaghetti factories then you need to do yourself a favor and simplify into smaller factories or rooms. Encapsulation is a friend
coveyors on the ceiling are nice, but they have one fundamental flaw - you can't see what's on the belt. That removes your ability to assess flow rate or even to refresh your memory on what's going where. I've done many ceiling conveyors and inevitably I end up hitting my head on the ceiling trying to peek at what's going on up there
A better strategy, to my mind, is to use floors dedicated to conveyors, or have floors that are so simple that there are only two or three things being moved on the floor (except for floors with manufacturers and the like with 5+ things). It really improves the "readability" of a factory. Plus you can use windows and glass to still allow for glance value assessments if desired
Other languages I've used support assignment like that but I always avoid it, but they just used = so I'll give this walrus a try and see if the different syntax makes it any better in my mind
I definitely agree with your second point. And I find it ridiculous that a company can ever claim to "own" your genetic information. It's why I've never dared sign up for any kind of genetic ancestry sites. I can't give that personal of information away for free, let alone pay for it to be taken
Unfortunately, everyone who used their service did agree to it. Directly from their Privacy Policy:
Commonly owned entities, affiliates and change of ownership
If we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your Personal Information may be accessed, sold or transferred as part of that transaction and this Privacy Statement will apply to your Personal Information as transferred to the new entity. We may also disclose Personal Information about you to our corporate affiliates to help operate our services and our affiliates’ services.
Whether this will hold up in court is a bit murky. But without a large, laborious court battle, they can and will sell the data and they are "legally" allowed to
For me, I respect female characters who are written strong but not mean or "buff". Your character doesn't need to be a dick or on steroids to be strong. A strong person can be kind and compassionate, just not capitulate under pressure. I also don't believe being "independent" means you can't love someone and lean on them in times of need, it just means you aren't defined by the relationship.

I do well enough to comfortably support my wife and me. I have a retirement plan, put a small amount into saving, and don't buy things on credit (besides to pay them off immediately for rewards points). I have paid off my car and it should last me a good long while. I do have student loans outstanding but I pay those down and my work provides a stipend each month that effectively doubles my payment on that. I have some small investment accounts to play the stock market, but not life-changing money. We have plenty of money leftover after the mortgage to live just as comfortably as I would like.
This all being said, I am an outlier in the current economy. Most are paid too little for too much work and I would happily pay more for most products if I thought the money was going to the employees, but I know they are given the smallest amount possible.
What in the world? You are in a relationship with them. You can't live with, sleep in the same bed with, be best friends with, and do sexual stuff with someone and not be in a relationship! What do you think a relationship is?!
You say you don't want a relationship with them but what on Earth would you change if you entered into a "relationship" with them? Just your perspective and a label from the sounds of it.
I feel as though you need to reassess where you're actually at in this. Think about what a relationship means to you and why this person cannot fit that role for you.
And above all, you need to talk to them about this and ask if they think you're in a relationship. Because you might need to "break up" with them regardless of how you feel about it
