If they want customers to pay more then they should just raise their prices. Oh but then they won’t be able to manipulate people into paying more than they want anymore.
They have women only passenger trains on the subway because they need to not because they want to. Those don’t exist in most western countries that I know of.
But it’s just a feeling of progress not actual progress. Whether she moves or not there’s still the same amount of people ahead of you in queue. Plus it’s an airport you queue for the airline that you booked with there’s no decision of queue to impact. The only actual factor is whether or not it spills out past the barriers so she can periodically check and move if that’s the case
Yes the point of the post is that a single person acting perfectly rationally will be seen as mad by a civil society which is also perfectly illustrated by people saying “yes that does make sense logically but what about my irrational emotional perception of time?”
I suppose this is considered science fiction. I believe it has just started airing. I’ve seen the comics on occasion around the internet and had no idea they were planning on adapting this into a series....
It’s alright but not as good as the comics. I feel like the quirky dialogue doesn’t really have the same impact when it’s happening over 20 minutes vs a short punchy four panel strip
Yeah and all that white knighting gives visibility to the issue and now Larian has reached out to ask for the full teams name to put in the credits. Good thing the common population doesn’t share your opinion or that never would have happened
Lmao that’s the most reaching argument I’ve ever heard in my life. Won’t anyone please save these poor companies from being “internet responders” and help them from pretending to care about their workers and forcing their hand to actually do something.
After all the only change that matters is internal change. Conveniently the kind of change that the general public also has zero way of influencing so any time a company performs any kind of obvious injustice it’s obviously virtue signalling to mention it since we have zero influence on internal policy.
Much better that companies not even give an appearance of giving a shit compared to the world we live in now where the direct problem people complained about is now being addressed
Wow would you look at that they even had internal policy changes because of internet white knighting. Granted we can take this with a heavy heavy grain of salt and their commitment remains to be seen but you’re just taking L after L
Altagram goes on to list seven commitments it will adhere to in order to ensure proper accreditation of its workers in future, including the establishment of an internal crediting commitmee, improved transparency between clients and staff, and a commitment to the IGDA guidelines which were set out earlier this year.
I mean the fact that you’re so dumb that you think you need to open the thread to check for updates instead of just waiting for a notification that tells you if someone replies just speaks for itself
Oh and then the sheer arrogance of you saying that the people who disagreed with you was the reddit crowd when the top comment of the Reddit thread was asking “who cares” like you were is just the best cherry on top
Just to be clear calling you pathetic isn’t just a school ground insult it’s a statement of fact evidenced by your comments
Lmao the argument was settled when the public giving a shit has objectively helped credit the translation team. Hell the person who originally posted is a professional translator i.e. the closest you can get to the situation without threat of being fired for saying something.
What do you call someone who spends all day refreshing a thread on the internet hoping for a response from an internet stranger?
Pathetic. Hell you even BRAGGED about it to me. Like I said it’s a statement of fact. If you don’t believe me brag to your friends
plus them asking gives a chance to say you’re on break or something vs them directly asking and then awkwardly needing to say “yes I could help you but I don’t want to right now ask someone else”
On god every time I’ve been to the states the portion sizes have been absurd. Then when we adjust and try to share the mains the servers are always concerned if we’re ordering enough food
I consistently hear people on YouTube complain that the subscribe button doesn’t do anything for viewers, now that channel notifications are controlled by the bell. But it does do something: it puts the videos from that channel in your subscription feed, which is readily accessible on all versions of YouTube. So why do people...
Seems like most people just click videos from their home page and not their subscriptions feed. If YouTube set the default page as your subscriptions we wouldn’t have that bell problem anymore but that’s not good for engagement cause people wouldn’t see different videos every time they opened YouTube so it’ll never change
When I was in grade 2 I had an old substitute teacher tell us a story about how he trained his willpower by setting an alarm every night at 3 am and when it went off he’d do 10 jumping jacks.
I tried it that night, got out of bed and did 2 jumping jacks before realizing this was the dumbest thing ever. If I had the willpower to get out of bed in the middle of the night to exercise I already had the willpower in the first place.
But weirdly enough ever since that night I’ve been able to get out of bed on the first alarm
I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing....
I’ve put at least 2000 hours into this game and completed all the endgame PvE content including an NA first/world second raid achievement and made a lot of friends in the game.
It’s still a shit game with barely any new content and now Bioware has pawned off the game to some company called Broadsword that looks like it specializes in taking over dead MMORPGs
Man KotFE was such a disaster of an expansion. They put in so much marketing and built up so much hype for the story at the expense of every other part of the game. Then it comes out and the story is bland and the PvEers and PvPers have no reason to stay subscribed.
Oh god and don’t get me started on the 10 year anniversary. Justice4R4
I actually stopped playing a couple months after launch and only after it became F2P in 2.0 that I played it sporadically every now and then to get a few levels. It took from release to 2014 for me to actually get one max level character lol
After I got to level cap I dipped my toes into raiding and cleared what endgame content I could but stopped playing again in 4.0 when they didn’t release any new raids for the expansion. Then any time they release a new raid I’d pick the game back up again and hit up my old guildies to rejoin me
If you ask for "tea" at a restaurant, what happens and where do you live?
In the South East, they bring you sweetened (usually far too sweetened for my tastes) iced tea. This is amazingly universal....
Being a pessimist is better than being an optimist or a "realist." Time almost always proves you correct, and very occasionally, you're pleasantly surprised!
It feels like being an optimist in this world must be absolutely soul crushing.
