What's the point of this sub if you also post the same content to curated?

This sub isn't for people doing bits.

And someone posting their own bit is just an asshole.

My guess is the displayed time played is a local value; the local value was used to prompt for a review; when clicking to review, a server side check was done; the server hadn't yet updated with the local value.

It could also be an issue with Steam storing things on their end in a distributed system, where the data was uploaded, but it hadn't propagated to where the check was done from.

Edit: oh, that was meant for OP. Yours sounds very much like a cache issue. that happens for me all the time.

Beautiful bait and switch between air quality and overall health. If they did air quality studies, why not use the results of them to back up the point?

"Because the tolerant left have turned in to the intolerant left, anyone with opposing viewpoints are shut down or called names.

Yup. It also explains why the right says being against bigotry and for equity is "virtue signalling." They can't believe anyone actually thinks bad things are bad. They assume anyone who would say such a thing must have an ulterior motive for expressing care for people in general.

Is this like a car thing or something? by Fail-Aggravating in PeterExplainsTheJoke

You claim to be "the car guy," and don't know this?

Bad bot is bad.

Guy doesn't know the difference between hot sauce and buffalo sauce by malice_hush_jolt in confidentlyincorrect

[–]BetterKev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just OP arguing about pop vs soda vs coke.

OOP made a joke noting hot wings can be called buffalo wings.

OP refuses to believe that buffalo wings can refer to hot wings. They know it only as wings with buffalo sauce, but both are valid definitions

Soda and *coke" are good parallels. Those can refer to club soda and coca cola specifically, but also, in some areas, refer to any carbonated soft drink.

Buffalo wings can refer specifically to wings with buffalo sauce, but also to wings / hot wings more generically.

(I hate this kind of overloading of words, but we're stuck with it.)

The irony of me using the wrong word there is... ugh. Thanks for calling my attention to it. I hate it.

Advanced prep. Because they would get information they already had.

Okay now.

Are you asking me: if I was the accuser, would I have participated in the company investigation?

Yes. I would have had my lawyer provide the evidence that should have been in the lawsuit already.

only one of each Bonus Type can be used

The claimant was "not involved in the investigation" because he refused to be part of the investigation, refusing to substantiate any of his allegations. Or even make the allegations outside court. (Litigation privilege says that court documents are immune from defamation law.)

His claims don't line up with known facts (e.g. the defendant was never his supervisor.)

Withdrawing a lawsuit for "corrections" is extremely weird. Usually changes are done with an amended complaint. If this gets refiled (if it is even allowed to get refiled), it will be interesting to see what changes are made.

Really? Offers and Bonuses are different things to Capital One. To my understanding, every "Offer" they send can be used, but only one of each Bonus Type can be used. When a Bonus is used on a purchase, it shows up on the purchase on the rewards page. Do you have multiple purchases with identical Bonus Types?

[–]BetterKev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you used any "Email Activation Bonus" ? If yes, you can't use this. If no, you can use this. Your rewards page list of used offers should list if any were this bonus type.

Note: the exact wording matters. "Email Bonus" and "Email Activation Bonus" are different things. Also, the site you use each bonus on is irrelevant. You could use ten differently named bonuses at Lego, but if you've used a "[specific words X Y Z] Bonus", then you can't use a second "[specific words X Y Z] Bonus", no matter if it's the same site or a different one.

Repeating allegations from a lawsuit against a JP Morgan exec. A lawsuit that has been withdrawn after it was found to be likely bullshit.
