  • Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?

    Jump

  • I sure do. Of course doctors and nurses were essential because it was a health crisis. But it was grocery store workers, Starbucks baristas, Amazon warehouse workers because people are idiots and think stuff like that mattered. I remember sports teams and reality TV contestants being put in quarantine so they could safely compete. I remember it wasn't teachers, as classes were canceled before going online only for about a year and a half.

    So what's your point?

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

    Jump

  • Yea, but that conflicts with the narrative that money and success can't insulate you from depression and that everyone is secretly struggling exactly the same; so people have chosen to ignore that part.

  • Hilarious

  • I really don't think these things are as connected as you want them to be.

  • I don't ask characters to keep track of ammunition, but if they are using a crossbow or some type of gun, I will absolutely penalize them for not remembering to reload between combat. Or forgetting to retrieve thrown weapons. Its just always funny in an evil sort of way.

    "I'm going to attack the troll!"

    "Alright, how do you want to attack?"

    "I'm going to throw my enchanted spear at it!"

    "Your spear is a level down, back where you last threw it when fighting those goblins earlier."

  • After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us'

    Jump

  • Dude, it was 2022. AI was nothing back then. Certainly not something that people were debating the morality of at the time. It was a new tool. A developer tried it out for a few very minor assets that were only meant to be placeholders. This was't "literally removing work from a human(concept artist)". FFS, it probably was the concept artist who used it!

    Like imagine a new type of paint comes out that's supposed to spread on canvas better. An artist gets some and tries a few test strokes on a blank canvas, goes "huh, interesting", and then paints over it entirely with traditional paint. Then, the public turns against the new paint. Maybe it's made from orphan blood, maybe it causes cancer; it doesn't matter why, but it is now heavily frowned upon to use it. An art studio displaying the original artists work puts out a claim that none of their art uses the new type of paint. Were they lying? Like, ya technically I guess, but if you can't see the nuance and understand how such a thing could happen, then your logic is less that of a human, and more that of a machine.

  • They already had the replacement assets created upon release, but forgot to swap them out and it was missed in QA. That's why, pretty much as soon as they discovered it, they got it all replaced just 5 days after release.

    It's pretty common for games to mistakenly release with minor assets still as placeholders instead of the official version. Who's really going to look at something like the texture of a rock and be like "Wait just a minute! That's not the official rock texture!"

    The more you learn about this, the more understandable it is. The only people mad are those who don't know the whole story, or those that are just looking for an excuse to be mad, no matter how dumb the excuse.

  • A Million More Epstein Documents Have Been Found, Justice Dept. Says

  • A document for an email he sent. A document with the metadata from that email. A document that is just the image attached to the email. A document summarizing all the above. A document which lists the above being filed into evidence. A document with an agent attesting that he filed them into evidence.

    And so on and so forth.

  • Yes I know it doesn't work like that

  • Well obviously they just remove all the salt first.

  • Actual text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professors' comments

    Jump

  • The irony is, if she had gotten a 35% that would have been the end of it. This whole thing blew up because she got a 0. That's why I feel like 0's should never be given on an assignment unless literally nothing was turned in. A 0 comes off as personal; even in cases like this where the person absolutely deserves to fail, it casts doubt on the impartiality of the grader.

    But giving a 35%? Well that's different. That's acknowledging the person attempted the assignment, they just did a pathetically shit job at it. In some ways, it's more humiliating than a 0, because the grader at least tried to give you some credit, but is still highlighting how fucking stupid you are.

    I have never once considered this, or seen it written or heard it said.

  • Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud

    Jump

  • So what exactly did you do to piss off the Amazon Returns department? Because from my experience, they are the most lenient company when it comes to returns/refunds. I've had stuff arrive broken, or scuffed up, or it was the wrong item, or I just plain didn't like a product and every time I've been able to submit a return without having to interact with a single person.

    I feel like you either have to be lying about your experience, didn't even try to return it, or did something that got your account flagged.
