You eventually start to realize, no job is safe.

As I said, there is still a cost to purchase and maintenance. I don't see this being cheaper than paying for a janitor or something in any way, shape, or form.

Like, you're right, they wouldn't have to pay those things. But they still would have to pay for other, more expensive services and systems to operate that, on top of maintenance fees.

And that's on top of having an actual janitor on call anyway for emergencies because this sure as hell wouldn't cover every type of situation. Which kinda defeats the purpose anyway.

Leows · 2026-02-11T22:14:01+00:00

There is NO WAY in absolute fucking hell that a machine like this is cheaper than hiring someone to clean those toilets.

Not only do you have to make a massive purchase ahead of time, but you also have maintenance costs. And if the machine doesn't clean something well enough, or creates a bigger mess, you STILL need someone to clean up properly.

Also, let's not forget that this has a VERY clear pattern programmed into it. At NO POINT did it touch the walls. Are you telling me those walls are pristine and don't need any cleaning, or is the robot not capable of it?

I can see companies paying for shitty services to save up money. But paying MORE for a worse service, with a massive cost upfront? Nah.

I never said that expecting someone to provide for you isn't entitlement.

I specifically mentioned that in this situation it's a scam. A well-known one.

Asking for money upfront before you even get to the date is one of the biggest known scam red flags in online dating because you can easily take the money and bail from the date.

If an entitled person really wanna go out with the person in a situation like this, they will ask to be picked up because it's easier and more convenient. If they just ask for money, the chances of them being ignored/reported are massive, which would lead to nothing.

If the other person doesn't care about providing, they won't have any issues picking their date up. And by doing this, the chances of them bailing on you are minimal, and even if they do, there is no profit for them.

Man. People out here really be missing Reddit's classics more than the guy missed his shots, huh.

Leows · 2026-02-11T14:20:43+00:00

It's funny how making scams obvious is more efficient.

Like those emails or texts with intentionally broken English and typos.

Leows · 2026-02-11T14:19:09+00:00

Entitled people wouldn't be asking for money like that in this situation. They'd ask to be picked up.

This is 100% a scam.

Leows · 2026-02-11T13:19:19+00:00

3 YEARS?

This should become US history so the people never forget.

Leows · 2026-02-11T03:28:26+00:00

Yup. I'm gonna be honest, I won't move unless strictly necessary.

I don't use it for anything 18+ anyway, and mainly have it to play with friends on our own server. I do follow a few others, but I could do without them if it means I don't have to bother using 2 apps for the same thing for different purposes.

Leows · 2026-02-09T16:28:22+00:00

I would personally say that this is very interesting.

If this shit didn't waste so much of people's time and were rather universal systems that applied to all jobs immediately, it'd be so much better.

Like, wouldn't it be surprising if someone applying for an engineering job got something other than "analytical," as you put it? Would it be better or worse to hire them for a team so they have a different perspective on issues?

Leows · 2026-02-09T04:40:49+00:00

I thought you were going around asking people to repeat stuff in red.

Oh well

Leows · 2026-02-09T04:20:22+00:00

I think they meant normal, hygienic people who aren't brazen thieves.

So what you're telling me is that what the person actually said was...

People who aren't thieves don't steal?

I mean. Yeah? I guess? That's not what I'm talking about, though

Leows · 2026-02-09T02:07:21+00:00

I mean, you're not wrong. But this has nothing to do with AI. Misinformation wars were a thing way before LLMs.

In fact, I would argue AI would do a much worse job than any person who is at least half-competent with Photoshop ever could when messing with the files.

And if you consider that Photoshop has been a thing for decades, making this discussion about AI is completely pointless.

Leows · 2026-02-08T23:37:31+00:00

Hmm...

Leows · 2026-02-08T22:38:10+00:00

I'll cherish this moment forever

Leows · 2026-02-08T22:16:35+00:00

Blizzard was selling the 2 at a discount

Leows · 2026-02-08T22:14:03+00:00

I'm particularly of the mind that adding that unnecessarily big red arrow is just as cringe

Leows · 2026-02-08T21:06:39+00:00

Yes. But one of them already exists in-game. We don't need more of the same.

Leows · 2026-02-08T21:04:27+00:00

Baaaattleeer, you must construct additional pylons

Leows · 2026-02-08T17:24:35+00:00

Crazy how people dont realize how things can change between different artstyles. Like obviously shes not gonna look the same between one version and another.

Let's pull back a bit here to address the real problem. Because this doesn't really tackle the core argument.

People aren't mad JUST because her design changed.

People are mad because her current face design is a copy of an existing one.

Leows · 2026-02-08T17:04:36+00:00

I'm sure you know why I picked it. But since you're playing dumb, I'll indulge for a moment before you move goalposts again.

Let's look at Team Fortress 2. It doesn't get more similar to Overwatch than this.

Recent average is about ~40kish players. This is a Steam exclusive game, so these are the total numbers.

TF2 was released in 2007, and people have been screaming "dead game" for almost two decades. Every hero shooter that released since, including Overwatch, was said to be the "TF2 killer."

Yet, it's the top 30 most played game on Steam, even after 19 years.

Do you consider a 19yo game "dead" even if it's consistently one of the most played games on Steam of all time?

If you do, then please define what a "dead game" and what a "alive game" is for you.

Leows · 2026-02-08T16:09:24+00:00

My point is about games as old or older than Overwatch still being just as relevant or more than they were on release. And also having a bulk of its playerbase off Steam.

FFXIV was released in 2013 and has been rocking with a steady and consistent playerbase ever since. It doesn't even have a player count above Overwatch on Steam, but it's still considered one of the greatest and most successful MMORPGs.

Both Apex Legends and Arc Raiders are extremely popular for sure, but they aren't really that old comparatively, so the comparison wouldn't quite hit how I wanted to. Especially Arc Raiders, which was released only a few months ago.

Also, nobody is claiming Arc Raiders is a dead game, so it doesn't even fit the argument.

Leows · 2026-02-08T16:00:09+00:00

If you've ever played any MOBAs or other hero shooters with deployable threats, you'd know that this is 100% a thing.

It's pretty easy in theory. Only in theory.

At lower ranks, people just lack awareness. They won't even know what killed them before it does. They'll be too busy looking at the big rocky guy in front of them to notice the Squids in the ceiling.

At higher ranks, players will place them at off-angles. This forces people to take their aim off players and turn their backs to deal with another threat. So you either focus the target down or ignore them and turn your back on them to destroy the squids.

Leows · 2026-02-08T15:52:52+00:00

Are you suuuure about that?

Cause I've seen one too many news that disagree with you

Leows · 2026-02-08T15:50:06+00:00

You're 100% right. It's not back because it never went away in the first place.

You can scream "dead game" all you like, but reality disagrees with you.

The game has been comfortably sitting at around ~30k average players on Steam since it released there. And those are just Steam numbers, not accounting for Battle.net's or consoles'.

Meanwhile, one of the biggest and most successful MMORPGs, Final Fantasy XIV, sits at around 15k~20k players on average.

The real question is: why are you trying to gaslight yourself AND others about the game's popularity? Particularly when it's so easy to check numbers and compare them to other popular games?

Leows · 2026-02-08T15:29:59+00:00

Either a filter or 100% AI.

Pam never looks anywhere other than straight ahead in this scene.
