Ok. Hypothetically speaking if my family lives in a town, and I recieve a job offer in another state that pays $600,000 a year my household income triples, my wife no longer has to work and I rent a spare room near work I TECHNICALLY live in another state.
If they are fulfilling their contracts who gives a fuck. I know a guy who “lives” with his parents on paper but is a full time vanlife I.T consultant. He hasnt “lived” anywhere specific in about 3 years.
Also, sometimes I dont want the psychic weight of having to take my friend over the coals for violating safety procedure. I also dont want my friend doing overtime he really doesnt want to do because he knows I need it done. Work is work and work is purely transactional.
I can absolutely be friends, but if you cant accept that its entirely seperate to work. We arent.
Theres lots of people who have happy memories of being taken places by their parents or grandparents when they were a kid, they remember it fondly because they didnt know any better.
Now the older generation are dying off and the people who went there as kids arent going either, the change to the logo would surely have legitimately annoyed some people because that logo is closely linked to their grandparents or something like that. Now its been forced back into their concious thoughts and they will go for the nostalgia… for a while at least.
Its also available as a one time lifetime payment.
I had a Volvo V70 that I could get an extra 30hp for $2000 through the factory supported polestar tune… I decided not to because I couldnt try before I bought. If I could have bought it for a month then decided I probably would have.
The Lemmy community is outraged by this, car enthusiasts just see this as business as usual.
It wasnt the “toy thing” theres a law about putting inedible choking hazards in food. The food drug and cosmetic act of 1938. It bans putting any toy or inedible object in candy unless it is a functional part of the food. So the capsule in the kinder egg isnt ok but the wooden stick in a popsicle, the stick of a lollypop or the ring of a ring pop is.
Ive always said that everyone gives Leo a hard time about dating young models and other rich celebrities who try to fuck people who are lets be charitable and say “Age inappropriate” (not everyone walks around Hollywood parties with a sign around their neck that says 14yo) that if the rest of us had fame, millions of dollars, movie star charisma and young attractive people trying to fuck us can we absolutely 100% say we wouldnt act any better?
I like the arcade physics, but at least keep it challenging and consistent.
I hate to advocate for live service but…
An open world MMO racing game with a map that has roadworks that change the layout, on a weekly basis. Cops that do crackdowns on certain makes of cars, Carjackers trying to steal your ride, an ever evolving racing scene, weather events… give me a career mode where pushing my luck and teasing the cops too much costs me real progress. New songs in the radio every month, new events, new storylines and new arcs.
E.A could absolutely put it together and it could be great. But they would microtransaction the hell out of it, P2W, monetise the arse out of it and make it terrible. Because EA
Thats one of those cases of “Fuck I hate that band except that one song”
Like Burn it to the Ground by Nickelback.
Whole psyllium husks are fun.
I swear last time I put a bunch in my shaker I shit things I never ate.
Mechwarrior online.
Free, online “shooter”, good community, runs on linux, gameplay is dated and doesnt get tons of dev support anymore but its still how I kill an evening once or twice a week.
“In our defence he was way better at brown people things than a lot of brown people”
This has always been my counterpoint for the Nintendo haters when they complain about price. (Although they are a shit company in several other ways) Because when my daughter wants a new switch game if its a top tier Nintendo title its going to be a finished game with zero bugs and zero concern about problematic content for me.
As a former raging alcoholic, this is a legitimate concern I have.
The YT channel is “Renaissance Periodisation” for anyone interested in Bodybuilding/Steroids/Fitness/Dick Jokes.
Dr Mike is one of my favorite people, I genuinely think he would probably be a fun guy to hang out with.
Nothings more Alpha than fucking another bloke.
I’m sure this may work in maybe 1% of circumstances of super fit, tall, jacked, stupidly tough, experienced martial arts experts vs an “Average bear”
Like the theory is sound, you could conceivably choke out a bear but it would be a motherfucking wild ride IF you can get into place to do it.
Fight fire with fire.
Create dumb laws? Sue schools in red states and deep red voters with animal mascots.
I thought of these things.
Imagine the fun lawsuits you could launch over mascots and drama performances just to be a dick.
The only nice thing I can say about chatbots is that they are a step up from “if your problem is with blank press one. If your problem is with…” telephone systems.
