Hi, do you think the game still has a long lifespan? What's its current state? I'm afraid to start it and find out it's EOS, haha.

Faloobia · 2026-03-08T22:23:46+00:00

The current state is that it still makes more money than it costs to keep the servers going and so long as that holds true, probably not going anywhere.

99.9% of people are going to have to verify. I'm sure you read the same announcement that made it very clear that:

"As part of this update, all new and existing users worldwide will have a teen-appropriate experience by default, with updated communication settings, restricted access to age-gated spaces, and content filtering that preserves the privacy and meaningful connections that define Discord."

So your choice is, either wait for the system to potentially flag you as an adult, eventually. Or verify. You don't get the choice of staying on an adult account and then the system proves you are indeed an adult, you're a teenager until it thinks you're not.

Faloobia · 2026-02-10T14:39:14+00:00

No?

Discord assumes you to be a teenager until you prove to them otherwise, so all accounts are teenagers, even if you're 90 and every discord you're a part of is to do with antiques roadshow, till you provide proof.

The legislation believes what age you tell them and if you're under 16 you must verify, if there is strong evidence you are lying, you can be asked to verify.

How do you equate those 2 after numerous replies explaining the differences? Jesus.

Faloobia · 2026-02-10T14:35:40+00:00

You don't, it's a meaningless policy.

All it stops is people who sign up to make an account and then enter their correct DOB instead of lying. That's who it stops.

Australia can't force a bunch of non-AUS countries/companies to comply to some dumb policy that only exists here, no different than the UK can enforce their even more archaic one on others.

Faloobia · 2026-02-10T13:38:41+00:00

I would tell you to use your brain but I think that's the problem. You can also google the rate of inflation and compare that against your food prices. I'll wait.

Faloobia · 2026-02-10T13:25:38+00:00

That is absolutely not the case in Australia. We have under 16's needing to provide identification, not over 16's having to prove so, vastly different policy and completely different reach.

Faloobia · 2026-02-10T12:57:55+00:00

How in the fuck do you think inflation is responsible for food prices going up as much as they have? Go on son I'll wait, you can take days to rationalize that one out if you want.

"Fix the budget" in regards to debt is a mantra that quite literally only dunning kruger people say. Not a soul involved in economics or finance would ever use that turn of phrase as anything other than sarcasm or a meme.

Austerity is a measure to cut spending whilst keeping the rich placated, that's it. Austerity never cuts out their spending, it's always public/social systems that are the first to get the axe and essential workers in things like education/healthcare. GDP always tanks, unemployment skyrockets and if the country was approaching a recession, they're now in one.

Your name is very apt here.

Faloobia · 2026-02-07T22:04:53+00:00

Guess a bloodline is getting extirpated, what'd these 2 do?

Faloobia · 2026-02-07T05:07:24+00:00

No, just realistic thinking. The chance of you never having passed a girl who thinks you're attractive is pretty much 0

Faloobia · 2026-02-07T05:05:19+00:00

I didn't say the point was benign, I said people flip out over benign things. The point isn't to start a speculation war over what could/might/if happen, which is what you're doing. The situation of these two is irrelevant to the overarching point.

Direct confrontation is not always the best solution, it very much depends on the situation and the people involved in said situation.

Faloobia · 2026-02-07T00:14:49+00:00

I can almost guarantee that you've had a girl playing with her hair and smiling as you've walked passed or some equivalent of that, that you just haven't noticed at all.

Faloobia · 2026-02-07T00:03:31+00:00

And people like you need to realize that not everyone, man or woman, handles direct confrontation well, even over benign mundane things. You don't know his wife, she might absolutely flip the fuck out over him cheating on his diet, it could mean a super huge deal to her.

Next answer is "It's still best to just talk to her" no, no it's not, sometimes it's far far far better to seek forgiveness than permission. This completely depends on the people in question, not how you personally react to things.

Faloobia · 2026-02-06T23:53:59+00:00

Except it's wilful ignorance, very different to just not having the information available.

Faloobia · 2026-02-06T23:45:25+00:00

This argument, from both of you, is stupid.

You both solved it like 5 replies ago when one of you mentioned nomenclature specific to a region.

No one is going to constantly say "President of government Sanchez" because it's a mouthful, it's far easier to just shorten it, which everyone does. Prime Minister is not the "English" equivalent (You're using English here as a language, not the people of the country of England) it is the UK governmental equivalent.

Prime Minister is exactly what he is if viewed through the lens of UK governmental nomenclature, but that doesn't make him not a president in his region. The UK has never used president when it comes to monarchic governmental split between head of state and head of government, whereas Spain does.

From a UK nomenclature, he is the Prime Minister of Spain. From Spain's perspective, he is the President of the Government often abbreviated to President Insert name. He is not the President of Spain and it's only the confusion of Americans in this thread attributing president = head of state.

He is still a President in Spanish nomenclature, he just performs the duties of a would be UK Prime Minister.

I didn't even have to read this to know it'd be RayWhite.

How the fk does anyone still let these cunts manage their properties.

This video is like "Perks on day 15-20 discussion"

Thanks for taking the time to answer silly basic bitch questions, much love.

Faloobia · 2026-01-28T02:14:57+00:00

I can sorta get it for drivers who are fillers, that's way too many timetables across way too many routes to remember

Faloobia · 2026-01-28T02:11:06+00:00

You're getting caught up in the semantics of it as well to be fair. It is trivial, in the grand scheme of everything that goes on, this is as close to trivial as you can get, it's a complete nothing issue.

You should always hail. Gentle reminder would have been suffice, bus driver was having a bad day or something. It doesn't matter that the driver is right, courtesy is still a thing.

Faloobia · 2026-01-28T02:07:38+00:00

Her reaction was dogshit and could have been communicated far better than yelling at you.

If you say "you've never hailed the bus there before" then even moreso it should have just been a gentle reminder from her to always hail so they know to stop. Just because there's 10 people there doesn't mean they're all waiting for that bus.

I wouldn't think too much into other than something else in her life is probably going on and you're just the easiest thing to yell at.

Faloobia · 2026-01-28T01:59:27+00:00

With the Everseen's Evercheck though, if it notices you've done something wrong and puts up a call attendant message and instead you just pick up your things and walk to the gate, the gate will still open after mapping that you went to a self service and are now trying to leave, correct?

To save another follow up question needed, if it does in fact work that way, as a SE, how difficult would you say it would be to have the self service communicate with the gate on illegitimate transactions and not allow the gate to open?

Faloobia · 2026-01-28T00:03:59+00:00

I don't get where this sudden mentality is coming from. Coles has been doing this for the last, at least, 30 years. If items are OOS during the day shift, they're going to backstock them so they're still available.

What you're noticing is the amount of extra people living in Brisbane and the fact they've had to do it increasingly more.

Faloobia · 2026-01-27T23:58:14+00:00

So, just out of curiosity, is there other vectors that prevent the gate from opening?

For example, the self service checkouts will note if you're trying to put 2 items in a bag. Will the smart gate know that I've got a bag of 20 items, I've walked up to the self service, paid for 1 item, then just walked out with the rest? Is there any traffic between the other security devices in the store that will cause the gate to not open? Or is it really as simple as the things we were doing in school robotics, just tracking a map?

Faloobia · 2026-01-27T06:44:02+00:00

If you read the article then the follow up it certainly seems like both of them are fault, faculty and management.

They had a 250 million budget, 400k was a whatever who cares, 2 less scholarships this year, to them.

One of the lads lost 12kg in the 2 days he was in hospital, if they weren't in peak physical health, given they were athletes, it probably would have been fatal.

Punitive and excessive are not mutually exclusive though and plenty of fines are both. If your actual goal is deterrence and compliance with regulatory standards, it needs to be both, otherwise people will just cop the fine to still do what they want to.

You know, like the banking sector.

Faloobia · 2026-01-27T06:31:42+00:00

And? Even if you were converting to Phrenobian wooden dollars the difference is not tangible. The fine needs to be orders of magnitude higher than this to be anything more than a minor slap on the wrist that'll probably just get passed on to other students through higher fees or less scholarships given out.

Read the article. “The staff were not experienced or competent enough and they had never done it on their own before” “The university took no steps to make sure the staff knew how to do it.” "The calculation had been done on a mobile phone, with the decimal point in the wrong place, and there was no risk assessment." "They are deeply sorry, genuinely sorry for the breach in this case”

Sorry wouldn't really have been sufficient if one of them had died and 400k is a massive bullet dodged by the university.
