  • No, but I was admittedly in a very bad way the day I made that post, because some bad news I got, and I didnt realize until after the fact it was making me lash out in undeserved ways.

    I say that only, and explicitly, as an explanation, and not as an excuse.

    Sorry for being a twat.

  • The opinion of someone whose never had bowel problems and can't even fathom other people not being like them.

  • you gotta really question the mental wellness of someone who starts a company to produce a product that literally makes life worse for anyone that experiences it.

  • Yep. This is exactly why my grandparents think crimes exploding everywhere.

    Cause theres constantly crime in the news.

    and no amount of explaining "None of this crime is local to us, if crime was as bad as you think it was, they wouldnt have to report on a minor incident from across the country to have a crime to report on the local news", no amount of showing them falling crime rates, nothing, will convince them otherwise.

    Cause they can only believe what they see and are told repeatedly, and the news..both local and national, is perfectly doing their part to make things seems worse than they are.

    Its partly because of unnecessarily increased coverage... 3+ hours in the morning, an hour or more at lunch, then like 2+ hours at dinner, then again at 10pm.. and thats not even accounting for the 24 hour news channels, and the regular channels breaking into regular programming for increasingly banal shit.

    and partly because they have a vested interest in strife and mayhem because theres no profit in a 24 hour news coverage where the every our on the hour, the only report is "And nothing of concern happened today."

    Which is why they've bent over backwards sanewashing trump before the last election. a trump presidency is great for ratings because people turn in every day to see what new horror is being unleashed, and the media doesnt care how complicit they are in creating it.

  • Oh well, if you say it, it must be true.. even if it flies in the face of established capitalist behavior and precedent.

  • Yep.

    All that matters is profit.

    And they arent gonna leave profit hanging on the vine by pricing their producting below the product they are competing against, even if their hypothetical costs are 90% less.

  • The fact that you think it'll be cheaper shows you havent been paying very much attention to capitalism.

    Everytime a thing like this comes along, that promises a cheaper, better solution.. It ends up being neither .

  • Rimworld is the kind of game people beat once, then switch to Randy (the only non-modded story teller that allows for indefinite gameplay) and just build big honkin castles, or go on genocidal conquests, or try to eat the entire world population.. often paired with the genocidal conquests.

  • its why I install the quarry mod and just dig forever in it lol

  • It STILL pisses me off how god awful starship building was.

    Its like.. how can you not fucking conceive that I might want stairs in my ship.

    or control where the fucking doors/ladders go.

    but no.. we have to generate laberinthine messes because apparently the power core is a goddamn minotaur.

  • I mean.. you cant exactly be shocked, when cube/square based objects are the second most efficient shape in a cube/tile based world.

    As for what the most efficient shape is, well, anyone familiar with RCE should know that one by heart.

  • Trump will have them arrested on terrorism charges in a month...after a totally coincidental delivery of a golden idol to trump, from bezos

    edit I said this as a joke, and later found Apple recently gifted Trump a golden idol.

    God I miss when satire was silliness, and not psychic future sight.

  • "The dog ate the cookies!" said the toddler caught with chocolate on his face and his arm in the jar.

  • Yes, its the voters fault.

    Its not Biden or Kamala's fault, for supporting the genocide, for prioritizing arming a genocide over domestic affairs and issues, for prioritizing Israel over America.

    God I wish I had this level of intellect. Must be so nice to not have to deal with pesky things like critical thinking or thoughts.

  • TIL about a bunch of new porn sites cause republicans cant understand the streisand effect.

  • Hahaha

    Good luck doing that.

    People can't even delay their non-essential shinies to make a statement against price gouging/raising bullshit.. You think they're gonna willingly sacrifice something like internet? for a month?

  • Which is how you know they have a good product that they have full faith in.

    when they have to blackmail, threaten, coerce, and force people to accept their product.

  • I really wish Roosevelt was around to smash these companies into pieces for this shit.
