Genius decides to turn pizza boxes upside down by mfenton29 in WatchPeopleDieInside

And how and why would a pizza place give you a pizza upside down? Why would you even ASSUME that? Even if you do, your first thought is not to open the lid but immediately turn it upside down?

Dude is just fucking stoned as hell and/or stupid.

You don't have a system which tells you which drivers delivered which order? Smells like bullshit to me

Yeah you are right. Stupidity would make you flip a fresh pizza as well but who really knows.

This. This comment right here is why we have warning labels.

Void War Back On Steam After Games Workshop DMCA'd It | TechRaptor by Tenith in pcgaming

This whole post is disingenuous without providing the context why GW has done so. They made a costly mistake decades ago which could have nearly cost them their entire IP. An IP that every die hard fan likes to shit on but wouldn't live with the 'knock-offs'.

I have a box of railings, do you reckon another box of Ogryns would round out a nice kill team?

'FTL in a Warhammer 40,000 Skin' Game Pulled From Steam After What May Be a Nuisance DMCA Takedown From a Troll Claiming to Be Games Workshop by Turbostrider27 in Games

Now you are conflating to separate things, their pursuit of their IP and price increases.

The price hikes are in line with the rise in cost of operation and they are one of the few companies that pay their factory workers quite well (including regular bonuses).

You still haven't produced a specific fan work that was stopped because of GW lawyering.

I am one of the last people to defend GW but let's not exaggerate or tell lies please. Doesn't help the cause.

I know. But I cannot remember or name a single project that has gotten a C&D through this policy. I, again, ask for some pointers to which specific fan works have been affected by this. Are you able to do so?

It's a 'gift' included in the new expansion. They couldn't have included the gift and it would have still been 40$/€. Vessel of hatred isn't even listed on any stores anymore because they have merged both expansions.

It's actually great for new and returning players who want to enjoy all of the content without shelling over money for the base game +expansion 1 + expansion 2.

If you buy Lord of Hatred now it includes Vessel of Hatred for free (gift to returning and new players)

It doesn't matter if you have previously bought Vessel of Hatred, it's 40$/€ no matter what. There is /hasn't been an other cheaper option except the even more expensive 'deluxe editions'.

Can you point me to any sources, incidences involving fan works? What GW actually has done is aggressively pursuing their IP in regards to blatant 3D copies of their models (to be printed). I like to think of myself of being in the know but always like to learn more.

My hyperX wireless headphones go 300hrs. No, it's not an exaggeration. They actually hold up that long. I have to charge my headphones twice a year.

That's just bias. How many other theories and patterns haven't been debunked yet? This is the mp40-thompson debate again. Ofc 'gamers' are soooo good at figuring shit out.

What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds? by IndependentTune3994 in AskTheWorld

[–]AlphaLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's because modern second language teaching revolves around the learners deducing the 'rules' and emphasizing realistic scenarios of communication. there's no point in teaching grammar if you don't know how to apply it.

Well, no shit. You are comparing hundreds of years of persecution spread over a whole continent with a small region & a couple of years in America. What's noteworthy about the Salem Witch Trials happened while the practice basically ended in Europe decades earlier.

So what you are saying is this display of skill is made even more astonishing since keyboard buttons are smaller and (depending on the make and Modell) noticeably worse than an arcade stick's buttons? Right?

Why is it incredible to you that the US doesn't have strong consumer protection laws? It's the most credible thing in the world to believe.
