  • Apocalypse Bunker Fails as Wealthy Residents Turn on Each Other

    Jump

  • "During one particularly hairy incident, a man who moved into one of the units with his wife, his daughter, and her four children, pulled a gun on a Vivos contractor who had pulled up with a front-end loader to his bunker. The resident eventually shot the contractor, injuring him. However, South Dakota’s stand-your-ground law led to a grand jury declining to indict him."

  • Non-response just raises the percentage - you're up to 96.5% now...

  • Keep digging, bud.

    What is that random percentage claimed? What's the source? What numbers is it conflating? And how would it change anything I said about the economies of scale and the fact that these companies have been working to engineer a slant to digital only for years?

    92.4% of dentists agree that your random percentage expecting some kind of appeal to perceived authority is ineffective... And, my percentage here is actually higher than yours, so that's pretty embarassing for you.

  • Sounds wise, but that's a cop out though. The general lessons are almost always universal. Don't stockpile vaccines for the omicron variant of covid, sure - that won't occur again as viruses evolve, but...

    • don't dismantle pandemic preparedness procedures within government/healthcare
    • do have a ready inventory and rapid response manufacturing and supply chain ready for PPE production/distribution
    • don't count on the general public to be reasonable and selfless in their response to a global threat
    • do count on the wealthy, and the media they own, downplaying severity and pressuring you to risk your life for their uninterrupted profit.

    ETC, ETC, ETC.

    Nobody serious prepares their children for the exact scenarios they saw, they generalize what's valuable and then finish by teaching them to be ready to realize that you may be in an entirely different situation, and that will be scary, but if you slow down, you'll realize that there's likely plenty you can take from my experience for helpful shortcuts.

  • P.s. and to "you can easily download a game digitally" - they can "undownload" it as easily, that's the problem. They need to ship a minimum viable experience that can't be taken from the purchasing person post sale. The toaster needs to maintain the basic function of toasting the bread that I supply. You can try to add RGB light shows and subscriptions to custom toast tones, but I hold the right to refuse those and toast my fucking toast in perpetuity.

    Should be an "85% day one, year one" viability rule - meaning in the case of games, you sell a product day one that contains 85% function and features that are available within a year from original general retail on sale date. Incentive to ship finished products. Should that percentage drop within year one window, manufacturer is required to make available a physical expansion disc to those who purchased. And to protect truly small creators, rule is triggered by certain business size or revenue threshold exceeded.

  • To the "obviously a lot cheaper" point. With the economies of scale these orgs operate at, that is a weak argument beyond, yes, technically slightly cheaper. And hospitals would be more profitable if buildings didn't have to incur the expense to purchase, install and maintain windows. And doctors would technically have more take home pay if they didn't have to buy shoes and wear them during surgery.

    I know it's lighter in your message and you're mostly on the side of good I believe, but stop FUCKING pre-complying. Nobody has any sympathy for these "every year is record profits" fucks. Show me some YoY break even or loss and we can discuss hardship and necessary reduction in service. Until then, have ZERO patience for their boo hoo bullshit. There is a concept called the cost of doing business, table stakes.

    Now internalize that.

  • They knew before they started, either people took it lying down (unlikely) or there was backlash and reversal... Followed by announcement that disc version of next console is now $500 more expensive than digital, and physical discs will be produced, just at 1/10th the volume and doubled the cost of current.

  • A global pandemic into a sustained recession and silent great depression will derail all the outcomes you'd built momentum towards in earlier life. You will never really fully recover. Whatever you do gain back will be a shadow of what was going to be.

    So try to plan ahead for that, Kiddo.
