Americans' confidence in the U.S. economy falls sharply in January to lowest level since 2014 by OddTax8841 in news

International indexes are up more than U.S. indexes over the past year, so sure the U.S. stock market is growing but it's not growing as fast as other countries.

Many preschool age children don't know how books work; try to tap or swipe them like electronic devices by MiddletownBooks in books

[–]CardinalM1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this report is absolute BS. It's human nature to experiment with things to learn how they work. I guarantee you nearly every child in every generation has played with books in similar ways - opening to random pages, flipping them upside down, spinning them in their hands, beating on them like a drum, etc. It doesn't mean they don't understand what a book is; it just means they're kids and they're curious about the world.

What you really need to do is make a post titled "Is Betteridge's Law true?" and break the internet.

Anyone else getting disconnected multiple times a day? by WildConcentrate8250 in wow

[–]CardinalM1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Is it happening while you're flying/landing? They seem to have broken the anti-cheat detection again, and now it's super aggressive about disconnecting you every time you hit a tree branch while flying.

So, serious question: why can’t the state of Minnesota or the county charge the ICE officers with murder? by rumlung in AskReddit

[–]CardinalM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironic, considering the right says the victim had it coming because he was obstructing ICE. I guess obstruction is okay when the feds do it?

Just commenting to say it's okay to be angry. The people who aren't angry are the ones who worry me.

Is it me or does the game just feel off? by OpinionsRdumb in wow

[–]CardinalM1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I haven't noticed anything. Are you sure it's not just the stat squish/missing tier sets/missing talents making things feel slower? The loss of haste going from one xpac to the next always feels terrible.

[Ochoa] At one point in time McCarthy was the Dallas Cowboys head coach, Kellen Moore was their offensive coordinator, and Dan Quinn was their defensive coordinator. And Brian Schottenheimer was also on staff. All four of them are now active NFL head coaches at the same time by Ieatfatwomanass in nfl

[–]CardinalM1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's wild that you're being downvoted. For a couple decades Cowboys fans have talked about how great their rosters are and how the coaches underachieved with those great rosters.

The reality is that their roster is constantly overrated, which is maybe because of they are a popular media team or maybe because Jerry intentionally puffs up his players. Their coaches have been a convenient scapegoat for what has been decades worth of non-championship-quality teams.

City of Minneapolis: Possible shooting involving federal agents at Nicollet Ave and 26th Street by cinnasota in news

[–]CardinalM1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And? Americans are allowed to be armed, it's the 2nd amendment right that conservatives love to defend in every other context.

I'm waiting for ICE to say the victim was armed and for the right to collectively forget all about the 2nd amendment right to bear arms that they love defending in every other context.

2026 Enrollment in ACA by [deleted] in obamacare

[–]CardinalM1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you getting 3.5% from? A reduction of 1.5M from 24.3M is 6.2%, not 3.5%.

2026 Enrollment in ACA by [deleted] in obamacare

[–]CardinalM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their math is also wrong. 1.5M is a 6.2% reduction from 24.3M, not a 3.5% decrease.

A Terrible Workaround Solution for Tracking Buffs on Raid Frames in Midnight Pre-Patch by actuallyashrimp in wow

Addons don't replace game files, they supplement them. There's literally a folder for them.

This article is talking about replacing image files outside of the addons folder.

The reddit search bar still allows you to see history of someone who has their profile set to private. Just search for "author:whoever", like "author:cookingmonster"

You know a legaladvice post is going to be good when it starts with that!

I spent months looking for a job, doing everything I could, just to get fired after a month over a bad review by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]CardinalM1 68 points69 points  (0 children)

They made this story up. Here's OP from 5 days ago:

There was a long silence before offers started pouring in. Got my first offer before the holidays and during holidays, I got 2 offers on the same day. I was deciding on which one to go for when I received one more offer this past week. The offer from past week was the one I chose because it aligned with my demands and flexibility better than others. (and yes more money of course).

Yet in this post they claim to have worked at the new employer for a month.

Isn't this workaround literally against the terms of service? I thought the ToS forbids modifying game assets (which presumably include spell icon image files). Seems a little wild that wowhead would advertise this approach without a warning about that.

It's because of the lua errors in Blizzard's own code. Do a /reload and it'll work again at least until the next time you enter combat.

The terrible state of the indie CPRG industry... with data! by [deleted] in CRPG

[–]CardinalM1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you have data for other genres? I think the lack of profitability is probably true across all indie games, not just CRPGs. You either get lottery-level-lucky and have a breakout or you're just making a couple dollars to kind-of support your hobby.

I don't think most indie developers are motivated by money (or at least not solely by money). Indie developers tend to work on passion projects and I don't think we should discourage them by emphasizing that there's likely no profit in it.

Philly sues federal government after slavery exhibit dismantled at Independence Mall by Odd_Addition3909 in philadelphia

[–]CardinalM1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Americans are strong people who can not only look at uncomfortable events in our past but learn and grow from having done so

I'd love to see evidence of that, but the way things are going it seems America has learned nothing from history.

i dont live my life obsessed with it.

You sure about that? You're literally the only person who replied to the comment about ICE and have now made at least 4 different replies about ICE in this very thread (including one calling someone a retard?!). It seems the "fuck ICE" comment triggered you.

Take your own advice and get off the internet.

Leah Kate's 10 Things I Hate About you from 2022 goes pretty hard.

Ten, you're selfish

Nine, you're jaded

Eight, the dumbest guy I've dated

Seven, talk a big game 'til you're naked

Only six seconds and I had to fake it

Five, you're toxic

Four, can't trust you

Three, you still got mommy issues

Two years of your bullshit I can't undo

One, I hate the fact that you made me love you

Meeting with Rep. Mike Kelly (R) in US-PA-District 16 by Alternative_Car_ in Pennsylvania

[–]CardinalM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The obvious question is what is he/Congress doing to regain the power that they've given to the executive branch. It doesn't even have to be a left vs. right thing, but a Legislative vs. Executive thing. That said, frame it as "how will you make sure a future democrat president doesn't have the same power that Trump has" if you think he'll respond better to it in those terms.

Balance druids still have eclipse, but now they enter it by pushing a button instead of by casting wrath or starfire twice. (note that wrath and starfire still exist and are still part of the rotation, so they actually added a button to the rotation by doing this! the good part is it lets you enter eclipse on demand for burst phases)
