lol

Oh you sweet summer child. Is this you only learning about revokeable licenses for the first time?

Hello custom instruction

I sliced my arm open down to the point I almost permanently lost my hand (I was less than a milimeter away from a critical nerve apparently). How? Opening a frozen capri-sun.

Dude. It's 2024. This is so beyond easy to automate lol. Even in the 90s you could easily automate this via excel. Stop making excuses for it my man.

Mate, not even an american here but have you SEEN how big textbooks get? You have textbooks for every subject, workbooks, equipment etc. What about days you have P.E. later in the day or a club?

Holy shit you're a disgusting piece of work aren't you.

Thats the second time now you've shown something that isn't AI and implied it is. Useless account.

If only you knew just how often we do this in game design, or things like it, you'd slip into an existential crisis.

Woke up to a lot of replies asking to see it and for context so sure okay I can do that. Just uh, trigger warning if you get squeamish. So here's where the scar is years later, note the way the flesh is raised on the left side from the scar. Here's the story: I was around 17 years old. (Currently 34) I was sick, I had a pretty bad head cold so I wasn't in school. My parents were both at work and I was at home myself. I had recent taken to freezing orange capri-suns and then opening them up and having them like an orange icicle in a pouch? And I felt like one, I had a bunch I had frozen. I got one out and grabbed a knife to open it. Being sick, I was head foggy, my dexterity was impaired more than it usually is (yay dyspraxia) and two things went wrong. 1) I was dumb enough with that head fog to cut towards me, not away. 2) Lessened motor control meant less control over the knife. Well the knife jumped through the ice as soon as it got through the foil, and with that force, it jumped through to the other side and sliced deep into my arm as it did. There was no pain at all, because I think I was in shock, but I ended up with this massive triangle of flesh just hanging off my arm, and I could lift it and drop it by the hairs and just look straight into the inner workings of my arm. I wrapped it in a towel, called a taxi and the taxi arrived I sat in the front and calmly said "I need to go to a doctor", they ask "Which one", I say "Nearest one" they say "I need a name", I say "I don't know, just whatever is nearest" and I show the wound. He goes "Oh god. Okay." and he just drives. There that's the context.

This is exactly the same photo that made me wonder. I went and got checked. Turns out I had a degenerative eye condition called Keratoconus. This image saved me from becoming functionally blind.

Speaking from a mental health perspective, it's her mother that shows textbook signs of narcissism, not the daughter. She is specifically showing signs of "Narcissistc Rage" Her political opinions, and if you agree with them or not, are irrelevant to this being such the case.

Uhhhhh. Call child protective services, or the police and alert them to domestic violence. Don't just asume "It'll be fine, it won't escelate" because it won't and it will.

I think this is going to age about as well as your platform.

It's almost like people genuinely have no problem whatsoever with diversity in game characters. They just want characters to be well written instead of just tokens.

Sure but, lion machine gun.

People are entitled to healthcare. People are entitled to confidentiality. Most kids will choose to tell their parents because it helps them deal with stuff. If they choose not to, then that is the right they have and they likely have a reason. Deal with it.

Lore accurate too (Apart from fusion core duration.)

Andeh, you're over fixating on the precise wording. The point is ads that attempt to trick a user for malicious reasons. The problem is the ads and the fact that cybercriminals use them, not the specific platform they use ads on.

I think you're missing the point. The important term was "toxic" not "competitive". it is fully possible to be competitive without being toxic.

Because its a cold war.

Pepper says hi

Yes, its called sleep, and the timezone the game is doing incredibly well in is sleeping. Are you feeling okay?

Next week: "PC Gamers are review bombing Sony's stock price because they don't want to take 2 minutes to make a PSN account." I hate the fact that I know I'm probably going to read something like this by Monday.

You were taking it seriously the first time, trying not to die because you believed you likely would. The second time, you felt assued your victory was certain, so you stopped taking it seriously as a threat. So you died. We see the same thing in MMORPGs, with people clearing harder content, and then wiping to "its only <lower tier> lol its easy"

Also enjoy the blurred out ball of fur that is my cat Pepper in the background.

Optimus Prime? Lol

I think that's the point they were making about apparent total lack of consideration for others, perhaps not even realising there's even a question of it by the way they were? But I think it's a bit much to generalise an entire generation by that.

POV: You just got denied an insurance claim on life saving medication and had to pay it out of pocket

Yes that's the point. He fired them and then the policing of this content got better. Literally exactly the point.

You realise you can just have a megacorp manage property for landlords, instead of outright owning them. Right?

Putting the Disillusion in disillusioned I see, Captain.

Are you looking for a feel-good moral lesson out of a franchise where everyone nuked each other into the ground because oil in the name of lessening the population for more resources? My dude. If this is your problem with a fallout game, the game has original sin lol.

That's Data Rot, not their original programming. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_d…

Real question is who is downloading 1.8TB worth of games in Antarctica this past week.

Yeah no. This is on you and your obsession with attempting to assert yourself over others while protecting yourself from criticism by presenting it as just a joke. The fact you're now going on the attack when a person tells you this makes you feel uncomfortable, and then you immediately try to get crowd affirmation that "you're in the right" betrays the fragile ego that's talking. Reflect and learn, or don't and continue to "get mogged" by others when they decide they'd rather just not deal with your bs.

The funny thing is Vegas' story *fits* this. We know in vegas that the NCR is in decline, the NCR tell us this themselves. The amount of people who seemingly don't know the lore as well as they thought they did but harp on all day about "retcon this retcon that" was unreal.

Cognitive innertia and learned mechanisms. Surprisingly very easy to change! You just have to activelyreplace the habit through opposite action, maintain it for 3 days, and it should become (at least partially) the new norm. The catch is if during that time you slip up, back to square one. Which is why it feels weird to say it's easy to change, its just that we don't do active decision making 99% of the time in our daily lives, so you're constantly getting reset to square one lol.

Hold on. Back up. What do you mean a half life mode that makes people sit down instead of die?

So you're just ignoring everyone else that was said. Got it. What part of this being compelled action by the state without fair compensation is difficult for you to understand? The justification being used is "Kids don't have respect >:C" so it asumes a guilt to justify the action. It is imposing a demand upon a demographic of the population based on a strawman impression of said demographic held by the older segment of the population imposing it. You ever have a parent insist you were thinking/doing something you weren't, and then punish you for it? Same thing. If the justification was "Britain is in need of this, and this scheme will help us with that, we will provide this in exchange" it'd be less controversial, but instead all the releases from the conservatives about it are "Children are trash. We'll whip them into shape. GLORY TO BRITAIN". Projection of their own looking down on people basically.

Paul you keep coming back and we keep telling you to leave. You've overstayed your welcome paul and we all want you to leave. Go away Paul.

This is literally totally normal data collection lmfao. I get it, but this is being paranoid my guys. You don't have to read into totally benign things as being bad, it is okay to say "I dont like AI here", that's already valid.

So your point is what exactly? If you're under the impression this is some knock against the game's success, it's quite the opposite. 2 million from a single region, means you have a massive growth potential with marketing rather than sitting at point of diminishing returns.

"It makes the line go up or else it gets the layoffs again"

It's always been an exosuit in the lore lol. Are you sure you're not confusing gameplay with lore here? Fallout 4 is the first one to faithfully match the lore (apart from the duration of those fusion cores lol), where as previous entires were held back by functions of development.

>multiple platforms respond and improve their site >sees notable performance improvements across the board for everyone "nObOdY cArEs lIL bRo MoVe oN fFs" Yeah no, this just sounds like you're the one upset about it, lil bro.

This is a post about Japan. Why are you turning this into a thread about US politics.

What on earth does that have to do with zoophilia. Dude, maybe ease off the "It's not like me, so it must be the same as SEXUAL ASSAULT OF AN ANIMAL" pedal holy shit. Trying to conflate people who maybe are into anthropomorphic characters as wanting to fuck a living, thinking, animal. Jesus christ dude go touch some grass.

And that annoys you why? He isn't wrong.

"You know you want me! I'm desirable! You're just jealous you can't have me! My self doubt demons are wrongggg. You must want me because if you don't that means I'm not actually a strong man and that means I'm weak and not the modern gengis khan." This is how that reads.

It's like these people are TRYING to start a class war. What on earth are they smoking!?

So you're telling me house, a person who has no means to do what he wants in this context without your help, would not use his skills as one of the most powerful machiavellians in the world, to lie to the courier, to get you on his side and help? I like house too but really?

"But my mommy let me play it so that means it has to avoid exposing me to anything that could be bad for my child ey--"

You'd be surprised on this one. This isn't an arbitary change. The concept of the "beast tribes" being named as such has actually been a plotpoint since ARR and has a lot to do with how the syndicate in Ul'Dah maintained it's power by othering groups. In-universe there has been a push against this for years in acadaemia going on in the background and was even brought up in the encyclopedia eorzea. (EEII, Page 250) This came to a head in the lead up to and during Endwalker where it was these tribes that ended up helping us a lot more, which pushed this over the edge leading to the removing of the syndicate's ability to convince people of their barbism. All you're seeing is the game accurately reflect the present state of the in-universe view of things. FFXIV is one of those games that has way more lore and a living game in ways I don't think alot of people realise. This isn't "Wokeism", this is people not knowing the lore as well as they think they do.

If it makes you feel better, they're the vocal minority. Most people don't care. Out of those who do care, they overwhelmingly are against it rather than defending it. They're getting chewed tf in the replies and it's like 2 or 3 who have been arguing it for 6h straight lol.

"A black samurai sitting in a chair looks at the camera and gives a thumbs up while a video game is on the TV behind them"

It was her budget, she crashed it, stop being a three old so hung up on blame and start talking about how you plan to fix it or get the hell out the way for someone who will.

I think the point is more about the engine itself, rather than who funds something?

Lmao my dude. Please tell me this is a joke.

Are you under the impression people casually buy a DSLR Camera and a camlink, going through the work to set it up in a fixture and link it in just for office meetings? My man.

Happy to help.

It means a human typed it.

How do you so consistently have the worst takes Jen. Honestly, you have a talent for it. The point of the NHS is to assure everyone has free and ready access to health, regardless of circumstances, and sometimes with poverty, stuff that might feel easy suddenly isn't. What if your bank is literally empty for a while until you get some money coming in, which happens in poverty Jen. What then? Do you just suffer for a while?

>We dont have the funding or ability to take care of the needs of a large number of special needs students. >THE SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS SHOULD STOP BEING GIVEN DIAGNOSIS JESUS CHRIST NO. It is okay to say "Hey we aren't equipped to manage this", but don't say "YOU SHOULD STOP DIAGNOSING PEOPLE".

Majority? Jesus christ no. People are what they are. Characters are written as they are written. If there are 8 Bi/Pan characters then there are 8 Bi/Pan characters, you do not get to take representation away from another just because you feel there should be more of the other. You ask for more characters with that, and if there aren't sorry but too bad. Erasure is erasure, rationalising it and justifying it does not make it not erasure. "Hey I'm sorry, but you don't get to be your identity because we need more of this so we're going to force you to be something else" Get the fuck out.

Yeah, every time someone suggests GIMP I use it as redflag of "I am a fanboy and I have no useful opinions"

Why are you mad about this? Is this a "I WANT TO COOM TO THE ALIEN BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE ITS A GUY. BUT ITS SO CUTE DAMN IT. GIVE IT A LADY SO I CAN GOON."? Because holy shit dude.

It's not a competition.

Ego, plain and simple. "I am right, therefore my beliefs must be right, therefore someone who does not have the same beliefs as me must be wrong, because if they are right that means maybe I'm wrong and I can't be wrong because I have to be right." which then feeds into "If I think about their beliefs, I may find that they maybe are right, but that would mean maybe I'm wrong and that scares me, so they must be obviously fundamentally evil, therefore I don't need to evaluate their viewpoint, which means I'm safe from realising I might be wrong" All subconscious but thats the pipeline.

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?

I mean if you're talking 15 minute cities, you can literally just walk. Put on your headphones, listen to some music and walk. The whole "10 miles" thing is a product of the city designs you lot have over there itself.

So 2 years worth of running it's infinite money machine. Yeah still not seeing the good deal here.

Data rot has nothing to do with the substrate of the storage device you mong lol. Data rot has many causes, all it is, is just the degradation of data and corruption over time. That's it. Can happen for all kinds of reasons, that's just the most common one in *our* society. Also learn your lore. Yes they do, it was just FAR more rare due to the lack of need for optimisation of circuitry hence the reliance on vacumn tubes.

> No more teaching children topics way beyond their years. So let me get this straight. You're going to teach about revenge porn to kids at 11, before teaching *anything* about respectful and healthy sex at 13. Gillian, you're setting up children's very first exposure to the topic of sex to be revenge porn. Do you have *any* idea how damaging that is? That is now going to be their formative experience, this is not going to go the way you think it is, and you're going to see a generation of kids with some dangerously messed up psychosexual development because of this. Did you consult *anyone* on the order in which things are taught or was this two disparate thoughts that have created a dangerous situation you haven't even noticed here?

How do you get from "Well this way HIDs don't have to be entirely reworked" to "Aha so it's just hype then" ???????????

GIMMIE A P GIMMIE AN A GIMMIE AN R-A-S-O-C-I-A-L WHAT DOES THAT SPELL? It spells "You are not entitleds to the mental energy or time of a streamer. They may choose to give you that, but if not then you need to stop acting like you're coming out of a break up."

Daily reminder that technically speaking the Alexander plotline is currently unresolved if we are talking in the strictest of senses. Simply in stasis.

Mate, if that's too long for you, you're cooked.

NCR was always a raider gang Cough vault city cough

A slanesshi daemon and a grey knight find love lost in the eye of terror. A (orifice) touching romantic comedy of two unlikely lovers lost in the 41st Millenium.

Because most end users experience of webp is "What??? why wont it open in my software???" And because end users gonna end user, instead of blaming software developers for not supporting WebP, they blame WebP. Basically, blame adobe.

He works at a bank, and this is literally fraud. Well...worked at a bank. Anyway, point is, comitting fraud when you working in a banking institution, kind of brings these exact consequences on you. He was working in finance, comitted fraud and got the standard punishment.

Lets imagine you are a customer, you come in. You have $10 to spend. You see something that's priced at maybe $8.40. You think it'll be fine, but you aren't sure, and you don't want to risk the embarassment of not having enough at cashier so you put it back and leave. If you think that doesn't happen enough to justify it, you're seriously neglecting the effects of scale vs just setting up an automated system *one time* to print correct label pricing. This is literally losing money for no other reason than "But its always been like this so why change it >:C" Come on, you're an adult, this reasoning is real dumb.

I think this is much better

Again, Asexuality has nothing to do with sex drive. It is only about sexual attraction itself. How many times does this need to be explained to you? Secondly, asexuality is recognised by extensive studies as a mode (or lack there of) of attraction, yet remains pathologised

That's so divorced from reality it's not even funny. You're talking about a system at scale, things don't work like that at scale lol. Come on, be serious. Also people aren't up in arms or angry about it. We're all just genuinely shocked at how you're all defending this, like its so incredibly weird to see people be proud of this like it's part of being a "real adult". You're mistaking people being "huh????????????????" for anger lol. I get you've grown up in that so it feels normal to you, but to the rest of us it's like some kind of bizzaro timecapsule from decades ago lol.

Are you seriously getting passive aggressive sulky over someone sharing an experience that conflicted with your narrative? Dude, I'm going to be real. If you're more focused on being right rather than discussing things, you're better just not participating until you grow up.

Think you're missing the point. Everyone knows that. Everyone wants that. The problem is localisers all too often have shown they can't be trusted to stick to that art and instead insist on ramming in gamergate references. AI is worse than that ideal, but this happens too much.

I get the point you're trying to make but, Dubai isn't in Qatar. That's like saying showing pictures of spain to talk about Belgium.

It turns off bing search, like it literally says.

The numbers are all kinds of weird yeah sure, but for context even on your own screenshots you're seeing £50-£75 for a 210 mile train ride vs a £41 1000 mile train ride. Like my dude, you are focusing on very much the wrong point being made here. Whether or not his £300 quote was fantastical, does not change the fact that adjusted for distance, the UK train fare is effectively 5x the price, if not more.

1. If you say 9 you're a 0 percentile grey parse and you should uninstall.

C guy myself but not going to lie, this just comes across like you're interpreting a statement about moving away from memory unsafe standards as some kind of personal attack. Wanting to "be better" doesn't invalidate or decry from what came before. Chill.

Honestly, the west consistently forgets just how big a gaming market there is over in the east. You don't see it often because most the time it's off on seperate servers, or seperate licensed publishers, but the eastern market very much competes with the west. You've also got to remember that Wukong is a MASSIVELY popular mythological character over there. So you have a massively popular character, in a massively popular story, getting a game that is at AAA standard, then being released onto a western platform while being unabashedly chinese. Yeah of course this is going to get a LOT of popularity in the chinese market and no that's not a conspiracy.
