Isn’t most/all of Boeing’s development done overseas now? I wonder if that divide makes it easier to assume this is okay.

I'm really confused, as the author talks about their "searing ear pain" and then says

> When I activated the noise cancelling button, things got worse. The ear pain got more severe and so did the pain close to my jaw.

I'm really confused as to the claim being specific to noise cancelling headphones given the ear pain happened when that feature was off.

That "No Thanks, I hate to save money" is a classic dark pattern designed to manipulate people. There's tons of articles about how damaging they are to users perceptions of the interactions (Example https://www.nngroup.com/articles/shaming-users/ ). I honestly closed the browser and didn't give the content any look due to it, as if you're going to try to shame me into giving you my email address, you're not going to play fair with anything else.

This was my thought as well. I usually buy games from HN to support people trying things, but the idea of spending uncomfortable time in the headset for an idle game just puts me off. If I'm going to play an idle game, it'll be while the tv is on and I'm in comfy clothes or in bed.
