Ah, right, this is just the nominations. :)

Well, the article says they were in QA, sooo I guess we’re the QA now, and they can just slap an early access label on everything.

Hmm, I probably should have read the detailed description before I filled it out, as I totally would have put Apothecary and Frieren above most of the anime that began airing this year. Oops.

I thought we say: we need more flesh for the prison-industrial complex.

Although, sentence length doesn’t seem to be correlated to deterrence, that doesn’t mean the inevitability of imprisonment isn’t a legitimate deterrent at all. For example, the belief that there’s a high likelihood of getting caught does increase deterrence.

It’s kinda ironic that you have to drive slower because you’re half blind, which will end up in the trucknuts enjoyer being slowed as well.

Hypothetically, is there a specific number of billionaires that would have to be executed to have some sort of impact? IMO, even if the rich have just a little incentive not to be the most egregious profiteers, it’ll make some impact.

I missed Technician’s comment, so it took me a second, but yes, much better.

It’s almost like the same people who own the mainstream media will also profit from a Trump presidency.

Whoa there, just because my God is a giant ball of spaghetti, who touches us all with Their noodley appendage, doesn’t mean They’re not God. It’s only the stinky atheists who don’t have a real religion. Well, maybe the agnostics too, but I’m not sure.

My pasta themed X-mas decorations stay.

I’m Spartacus!

That’s a good question. I could see that there might be a lot of downward pressure to find this guy and make an example of him. Maybe they were just happy to find a patsy to take some of the pressure off.

From personal experience, I’ve spoken to several leftists who aren’t even willing to consider the issue of animal welfare because (and I’m paraphrasing here) “human issues come first”. Like it’s some sort of either or situation, when really the positions are complimentary.

Not sure if this is what the video is about, as I can’t watch it right now.

It’s even tagged as zettai ryouiki, when most of the examples are absurdly off from the correct ratio. To quote wikipedia:

The ideal zettai ryōiki ratio for the length of the miniskirt, the exposed portion of thigh, and the over-knee part of the socks is 4:1:2.5, with a tolerance of 25%.[3][4][5] The ratio has also been referred to as a golden ratio (黄金比, ōgonhi) among fans.[6]

Disappointed!!

I love how you’ve set up a false dichotomy to complain about lack of nuance.

Also, since there will be a bit of oil splattering, make sure to quickly secure your lid with clamps. Hope you have a blast!

I was at a sit down recently where the lowest tip selectable without entering a dollar amount was 18%. 10% used to be the standard for competent service, 15%-20% for outstanding service. Now the quality of service is worse because they’re underataffed, and they expect me to tip more?? Get real.

Makes me think of a trend in FTP gaming, where there was a correlation between play time and $ spent, so gaming companies would try and optimise for time played. They’d psychologically manipulate their players to spend more time in game with daily quests, battle passes, etc, all in an effort to raise revenues.

What they didn’t realise was that players spent time in game because it was fun, and they bought mtx because they enjoyed the game and wanted it to succeed. Optimising for play time had the opposite effect, and made the game a chore. Instead of raising revenues, they actually dropped.

This is why you always have to be careful when chasing metrics. If you pick wrong, it can have the opposite effect that you want.

I will save some fetid rotten tomatoes from the compost as a gift if these asshats ever come to my neck of town.

Some people have to learn to pull themselves up by their bootstraps! Isn’t that the conservative way? Bootstraps, Giuliani, bootstraps!

What have you done!?

^^…would, ^^though
