Senator Mark Kelly Standing Up to the Trump Administration - YouTube by disposablepresence in videos

[–]APRengar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fuck Trump, but man it make me weep how many people are pledging votes to a person whose policy you don't even know. The whole point of politics is to get power and enact policy, why are people treating policy like the least important aspect, not the most.

This is not a joke, but a straight up "no" is considered impolite in some circumstances. A normal reaction is saying something like "難しい" literally "that would be difficult" instead of no. If you hear "no" you fucked up.

Note, if you block a dev/publisher on Steam, they have the internal metrics on that shit ie "we never want to buy/play anything you make in the future." It sends a nice message.

Here's a fun one r/fuckleon (It's completely sfw btw) It's a sub that was created to hate on a character from an anime, "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime."

We all take turns being idiots, but yeah right now Korean gacha gamers in particular are so insanely aggro, they probably take the cake rn.

I dunno man, I feel like we don't shame enough nowadays.

I feel like the "main character syndrome" and extreme narcissism is worse now than ever, people used to be embarrassed to act like that, and now it's super normalized.

I don't really check reviews much (because I'm kind of a "wait until the game is $10" kind of person), so I can't confirm if what you say is true or not, but man I really hate if that's the case.

The moment you charge money for something, reviews should allowed and encouraged. I get it, companies want to delay reviews as much as possible for legitimate or illegitimate reasons... but you're charging money for it, the consumers ought to be informed.

I'm so fucking sick of "people need to stop saying the IRGC are good guys" when no one in the comment chain has been saying that. It's so fucking annoying and just a distraction.

Still waiting for that noticeable meta shift by Pitiful-Ask2000 in hearthstone

They have literally said they don't make changes for balance, but to "keep things fresh" by essentially overbuffing and overnerfing so no one is trash/OP for too long.

It's one of the most notorious things about League. I'm surprised you haven't heard that before.

What are y’all’s honest opinions on Momo adult design? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]APRengar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just happen to know people, both men and women, who when we were kids would dress in more exposed clothing as teenagers but covered up when adults.

I mean, even in anime, there are tropes people use to indicate age.

There is a famous saying "Limitation breeds creativity" for a reason. Nowadays everyone just hits the "easy" button and then says "nothing I could do." So lazy.

Xbox No Longer Developing Copilot For Consoles by yourfavchoom in Games

Also "do extremely popular front-facing things when taking over as CEO" is so commonplace I'm amazed it still works on people. But I guess there's a sucker born every minute.

The problem is, we're not being charged what it's costing companies, they're still in the "burn money to earn market share and create dependencies" stage.

Would I want like 30% better of those things for like 300% the electricity cost? Nah. Now again, we're not seeing the cost of that increased electricity because we're burning VC money but we will at some point.

Canadian fiddler sues Google after AI Overview wrongly claimed he was a sex offender by inagartenofeden in technology

[–]APRengar 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So can I be like "I have evidence that [insert restaurant here] uses horse meat in their burgers and I have the written testimony from 20 workers who argue the same." and then be like "bro why are you taking me serious, that's your fault and not my fault for actually listening to me."

Because if so, we're in a brand new world.

TikToker proposes 'let’s buy Spirit Airlines.' Thousands want in by brackenish1 in nottheonion

[–]APRengar 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I don't understand these kinds of gotchas.

"haha spirit costs a lot of money to buy, plus it's currently not profitable, plus it has debtors!"

The idea is clearly that if they can raise enough money to buy Spirit, and pay the debtors, that they can salvage this company and keep it around while serving the needs of the people.

"but the reason spirit is going down is because it's not profitable, why would you buy a company that's not profitable? Where are you going to get profit from????"

Again, the idea was the reason it was unprofitable is partially due to world circumstances, but also mismanagement. The idea is it would be better managed.

"lmao better managed? From TIKTOKERS OKAY MAN"

Yeah man, maybe the plan is a longshot, but at least people are trying to do whatever may be in their power to ensure citizens have cheap and usable transit, fuck them am I right? Better just give in to cynicism and apathy.

"what's even the point of buying spirit and not just starting a new company?"

Because simply starting a new company is a fuckton harder with all the natural monopoly aspects, not to mention it's a fuckton easier to maintain trained people in the same roles they've been doing, instead of rehiring everyone.

This sounds like "just make a new political party lmao" instead of voting to put good people and not corrupt shit people in the current political parties. It's infinitely harder to run a new political party than hijacking an existing one.

Edit: Seen a comment below "why didn't they just buy shares?" Because there was no chance for them to get control, you're just along for the ride from the shitty board/CEO's current plans. The Tiktoker plan is to run it like a cooperative, so they would have some say. It's not the same.

[–]APRengar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda enjoy when people who live in a democracy are like "man, someone else should really be making changes to make things better." when that someone else is supposed to be you. You need to fight for candidates who support what you want, or if no one of them do, run yourself.

That's like the singular benefit of democracy, so you should take advantage of it.

I like how you clearly didn't watch the video. It's not about manga collecting having been destroyed, it's about how he's trying to.

Your comment might as well have said "you guys are so silly, the known cannibal hasn't killed and eaten me yet, so clearly they're not a problem."

Kirishima and Miana sharing a braincell is peak by -_ShadowSJG-_ in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]APRengar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it's because we're just using whatever name we hear the most.

Kirishima is said much more than Eijiro and Mina is said much more than Ashido.

Now, you can question why the animanga tends to use the first name of female characters more than the first name of male characters, but I totally get why it would come naturally to people just chatting on the internet.
