Let’s all hope the publisher doesnt fire the whole damn studio right before launch like is apparently common these days.

Honestly, if I’m costing the company that made my TV money just because I refuse to let it track me, all the better. They deserve it for trying to crab that shit up my ass in the first place!

At any frequency actually, but more slaps per second equal more Hertz.

Cool, a pic from the dub stage!

If you have a nice enough router you could connect your TV to it and block its Mac address maybe.

in evil cliche voice: bow before your billionaires!

I’ve had times in my life where it felt like there was nowhere for my life to go. It might not seem like it now but things can get better. I honestly hope things get better for you.

Wow, you must live a pretty sad life if you really believe that.

I’ve always thought it was completely rediculous that airlines charge a premium to board the plane sooner, like yea sure you wanna spend extra money to be on the cramped plane for a LONGER period of time? lol. Edit: I read some of the other comments mentioning getting dibs on overhead space and yea, if you’re carrying on you bags that would make sense.

Not if you’re a fundamentalist bhudist, the whole point is to stop(reincarnating/suffering).

The 5th of November…oh shit that was yesterday.

Are we in the V for vendetta timeline now?

Well, theres “working” and theres “working well”. Capitalism is not working so well anymore and its likely going to work worse as time goes on. more things will become automated, wealth inequality (and therefore a gap in political power) will grow, and companies will keep expecting increased growth in a world of limited(and in some cases, decreasing) resources. Capitalism currently “works” in the sense that its making resources move around, but thats about all its doing for regular, non rich, non well off people(and often is not doing even that much for them). It’s simply not sustainable when unregulated, thats why we need a well regulated economy.

Awesome, thanks for making me aware of this.

Tbf theres less expected emf on that set compared to a normal set because the boom op is not using headphones.

I didn’t understand either but I just looked it up and I think it works like this: if your opponent moves a pawn two squares up on the first move, and that skips the square that would make it vulnerable to be taken by your pawn, you can move your pawn to the square that their pawn would be at if they only moved it one square and take their pawn. According to Wikipedia “the rule ensures that a pawn cannot use its two-square move to safely skip past an enemy pawn”

I’m mostly just responding to your points, but if I’m trying to make any argument its that mile per mile train infrastructure is cheaper than road infrastructure when you add up all of the costs, especially the ones people normally dont consider including vehicle maintinance, extra land and infrastructure for parking, more policing, gas, time wasted on longer commutes, ect. I’m also trying to point out that the reason we can’t have nice things is because we have chosen the wrong priorities as a society, thats why we are stuck in a loop where we try to solve our car problems with more cars and car infrastructure instead of addressing the root cause of the problem.

“* all of the factors you just listed also apply to railways”

• massive Walmart style parking lots don’t factor if your urban planning is centered around public transit, and parking is definately one of the highest hidden costs of road infrastructure.

“* since railways are more expensive to construct and maintain than roadways, there are more cases in which a railway couldn’t pay for itself versus a roadway”

• yes, when people stubbornly refuse to use rail infrastructure or when rail/transit infrastructure is prioritized less than roads/car based transportation then of course its going to be less economically viable. Economies of scale and induced demand are a huge factor here.

“* why would a company build a private road when the government will do it for them?”

• good question, and yet we still have private roads and tollroads.
