The assuredness in your tone fucking sent me into a fit of giggles. My man was put to the TEST for that game and still remembers years later how annoyed he was that it didn’t let you turn off dumb motion controls like all the other platformers on the wii
We shit on ‘upselling’ all the time. If you cleaned those pages, pressed them back and touched up the spine of the book, sure. But I’d be annoyed too if there was a 500% markup on a resale of used material
I mean, it is annoying. But it’s security. Don’t want people having access to your device, remove all possibility someone CAN.
But it is annoying, we shouldn’t HAVE to do this. Privacy should be baked right into our daily lives and not clawed out with tired hands every chance we get.
Why does any of the value they’ve brought to you and others preclude a shitty and predatory business decision? I’ve had their pro membership for years, but the fake youtube video is some premium, grade A dogshit.
‘Shut up’
For some, but it’s just that it’s diminishing returns as you go up. 60 going to 120 is about as visually distinct as going 120 to 240, and then 240 to 480.
I have had a 120hz, 144hz, and 165hz monitors in my house, and although the 120-144 jump was pretty much undetectable to me, thr 120-160 was smoother but not like when I first moved to 120.
I’m colorblind though, so color accuracy doesn’t always do much for me until my wife points out people’s skin looking weird if I’ve switched to a color palette that’s easier to track for me.
When I’m feeling particularly spiteful, I quick apply to hybrid jobs I see that aren’t hybrid and waste time until I get an email from the hiring manager about a first call. Then I tell them I just wanted to be sure they knew they had an incorrect posting and that I wasn’t interested in a company that didn’t understand modern workforce trends at best, maliciously baiting and switching at worst.
So far, 1 company has changed their wording, of maybe 20 I’ve gotten this far with
Don’t go in expecting the same style. It’s not a bad book, but it’s definitely told with a different ‘voice’, or at least it felt that way for me. I enjoyed it, it was definitely not my first choice for a backstory, but getting to see what makes Snow such a good villain in the first 3 books was really nice.
I think what hunger games was calling attention to, the dangers of unchecked capitalism, the prevalence of group think and the uncaring pain inflicted on out-groups different from your own, and told through a lens that also let’s us draw parallels to the way women are treated in society at the time, really struck home when I was younger and it really fit the ‘times’ it felt.
That is juxtaposed to what I think ballad of songbirds is telling, which is almost a shift in the opposite direction. The protagonist is a male, and it’s pointed out quickly that he’s expected to be the Man of the family and all that entails. Where Katniss didn’t care what others thought of her, but had to play the game for survival, Coreo CONSTATLY obsesses about his appearance and how others perceive him but he also plays the game for survival. Both protagonists are poor, scraping by by the skin of their teeth, but one knew of a time before the war and so he has a sort of longing for a time when his family DID have wealth and he knew those luxuries. Katniss hated the system, Coreo believes he can climb on top of it. Coreo is in the “in-group”, the one that is doing the exploiting, and so there’s a different tone in how that conflict is perceived and discussed.
I’ll say no more as to not give any spoilers, I recommend it and it’s not long.
In this instance it’s:
Light, guy on right - police chief’s son, genius student with good grades and a tennis champion for extra curricular to get into a good school. Has ideas about what people should die for and what isn’t being punished. Loses same sleep as guy on left, or so we assume, but hes a sociopath so the loss of sleep is more to do with thinking and less to do with fear or regret
L (just the letter), guy on the left - internationally recognized detective. Also genius. Also really good at Tennis… I guess. It comes up once. Works with police and police chief to find the bad guy. Suspects Light, tells him so and his dad and enrolls in the same college. Does care about people, will make decisions where others are hurt if necessary but does clearly have morals. Weird dude, sits funny, likes sweets.
I would say that not putting a perfectly fine microwave into the garbage and spending the time needed to clean the microwave and it’s removable components would be a better solution.
Sure, they’re ‘cheap’ depending on who you are and what you buy, but they’re surely not ‘cheap’ as to be entirely disposable and they’re not exactly safe for landfills.
Yeah it’s not even just that, she’s unhinged as hell. Each new controversy has a longer and weirder NFO or backstory or 16 pages of screenshots from her discord from fanboys that want her feet pics.
I love piracy, I love a good radical, I don’t love the weird vitriolic hate and self worship she spews out.
Although I don’t think you meant this in a way that favors corporations, I still think the next bit is important to add:
Businesses have lobbied against paying their workers living wages so you HAVE to keep subsidizing their employees for them

Came here just to be sure SOMEONE said it
I think the fact they’re asking shows they’re not sure.
But also, one should be sure what your partner constitutes as cheating before engaging in said action, yeah.
My wife and I do not see the selling of nudes as cheating (unless non-consent to the nudes or the distribution, then it’s a lot of levels of gross) but others might disagree.
All that time copying greats, no time deciding on WHO. My future progeny are doomed

I absolutely am not saying it’s easy, hell if I even know if it’s possible for many. Why are you so hostile?
That’s not brainteasers or evil, there’s a fucking wall of text of nuance in front of you, you should read it. He’s not saying it’s good, or that it’s right, he’s saying it’s smart to leave.
If you want to live, with the best chances, leaving makes sense.
If you want your children to grow up somewhere where they don’t fear for their lives, leaving makes sense.
If you don’t want to be subject to the attacks of a hostile nation that is basically mandated to be directly next to you, leaving makes sense.
It’s terrible, I would hate to have to leave my home and the place of my community due to violence. But I am not so attached to any piece of land that it is worth more than my life or the life of my family. If people choose not to leave, I understand the reasoning, but I still believe it a safer and smarter option to leave.
No, and I do not agree with the above poster, but we’re aided in that most of our forms are in both English and Spanish, the two most common native tongues of people who live here.
