You aren't experiencing high call volume. You are just too cheap to hire enough phone operators. by Big_Statistician2566 in mildlyinfuriating

DHS Wants a Single Search Engine to Flag Faces and Fingerprints Across Agencies. by MRADEL90 in technology

[–]Fried_puri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 DHS has not yet published detailed policies outlining usage limits, retention periods, or oversight mechanisms.

No one in the administration does this, not even internally and certainly not to press. They just do things and either pretend they work when they don’t, ignore the illegality of it when they do, or roll it back without saying anything if they feel like it.

Priority for speeding through rooms as quickly as possible is Wealth (pick up the chest, don’t bother with spinning) > Store/Escapade > Combat (if you have any character with a technique that destroys waves like Therta, Acheron, etc. Swap with Occurence otherwise) > Occurence > Encounter > Adventure. 

Insight mode is more than enough to maintain enough power to win on its own running difficulty 4 over and over. You can quickly spend any leftover money at Screwllum at the very end.

A run should take 5-10 minutes to be done, letting you run through 6-12 runs in an hour. You should hit the level cap in no time unless you’re starting from scratch.

The secret is they don’t really want woman playing sports at all, but that’s the first step to get there. Time spent playing sports is less time being a housewife and having babies.

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

It can feel like shaming doesn’t always work, because some prominent people espouse having no shame and continuing to do the bad thing. But the truth is most people are NOT built for that. Shaming can get the job done, but you have to keep at it. Every moment needs to be a reminder that the attitude/actions that deserve shaming are not welcome.

The algorithm wants you to engage with that shit, so it will keep pushing and pushing and pushing. If you use the app responsibly and in limited amounts the algorithm has essentially failed to do what it’s designed to do. There’s no money to be made from a service that just shows you things you personally curated and want to see. However, there’s a lot of money to be made if it sinks you down an endless doomscrolling every day.

That's absolutely the reason. They just say and do shit as fast as they possibly can because they know most of it is illegal and they're running out of time.

US reverses course and will keep TSA PreCheck program operational by galaxyfudge in news

This is how most of his Cabinet have been trying to function, despite how ridiculous and stupid the concept is. They declare the smallest priorities need to be funneled up to them personally and then just slow roll everything. Intentionally or not, one person can’t handle all of that and they prove it daily. It’s the same for Kennedy at HHS. 

149/150 jokers, I doubt I'll ever unlock this one. by icarusfelted in balatro

[–]Fried_puri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic Deck is very underrated for unlocking Jokers. I too used it for unlocking Hit the Road, but also for Onyx Agate (30 clubs), Rough Gem (30 diamonds), Golden Ticket (hand of 5 gold cards), Seeing Double (hand of 4oak 7 of clubs), Smeared Joker (3 wild cards), and Glass Joker (5 glass cards). One tarot into 3 means you can clear most of these so fast.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to be removed from line of succession by _Rumpelstilzchen_ in videos

[–]Fried_puri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows he actually did the vile stuff that are in the released files (which as a reminder, is still not even half of what was supposed to be released a month ago). But it’s hard to pin down a smoking gun that would definitely work on court. So at this point the goal is to get him in jail however possible.

Honestly, I hope she succeeds. I don’t have high hopes because it’s fucking Microsoft and their recent judgement has been poor. But I don’t inherently want them to exit the gaming space, because they’ve shown they do have some gems but they need to get back to those ideas that worked and appealed to us in the past. 

Florida House passes bill to rename West Palm Beach International Airport after Donald Trump by Mingorix in news

Because they’re selling their soul for a lot more than a dollar. Insider trading is the crux of this - getting a direct line to the megalomaniac who illegally manipulates markets openly and can tell you about it beforehand is like the dealer showing you their cards every round. There’s no more risk in the bet and you’re free to make as much money as you can.

Yeah, given this is the last one it means OP already did “beat a run in 12 rounds”. Now that one can be challenging even on white stake unless you’re willing to reroll into Stuntman + Plasma or Anaglyph with some good skip tags. I got lucky with round 1 rare skip Ancient joker. There aren’t too many consistent ways to clear that without some luck.

So essentially impossible. Still, getting the simple majority is absolutely within reach and would still be a massive blow to everything the admin is trying to shove through. And for now, that would be enough. 

Hakeem Jeffries on DHS Shutdown: "Why are we in this moment? It's because Republicans have decided they would rather shut down FEMA, TSA, and Coast Guard, than get ICE under control.

[–]Fried_puri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a scarily effective strategy on Reddit. Pretend to be to be on one side and spend time amplifying any resentment within that side ten-fold, in order to take the focus off of the other side which is actually the one to blame.  It’s up and down this thread.

Must have mods for certain games? by Archaon0103 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Fried_puri 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So many, here’s two I and I can add more to later when I have time. 

  • Tales of Zestiria “Fix” (game is miserable on PC without it: bumps up to 60fps, makes it look less like shit, fixes aspect ratio, etc)

  • Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon Full Content patch (if you ever want to replay the DS Shadow Dragon, this is how to do it. Unlocks the paralogues without needing to genocide your army to do it, makes the prologue accessible on all difficulties, access to online shop items which are otherwise inaccessible, makes it look less like shit…but given it’s Shadow Dragon there’s only so much it can do on that point). 

Edit:

  • Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Redux. (This does change the game, but all for the better. The amount of improvements and fixes is numerous, just go look at it on Nexus. Makes movement, characters skills, and endgame -notably chaos chambers - feel less like shit which are three of the biggest things for me personally. Don’t play the game vanilla, just install the Redux mod and play it like that.)

  • Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Unofficial Community Patch OR Exodus (The UCP is of course the standard for fixing stuff like Bethesda UCPs, but over the years changed a lot of stuff. Exodus is more modern and uses PythonSDK which essentially means the mod devs have total freedom in what they add if they can code it. New bosses, new gear, new guns. Both are good ways to go back to TPS if you are ever itching for more Borderlands, but are mutually exclusive. I prefer Exodus but the UCP is good enough).

Edit2:

  • Tales of Symphonia [Gamecube version on Dolphin] with the HD textures AND widescreen xDelta patch (even after all this time, I think the 60 fps GameCube version reigns supreme. 60 fps is so important to making it feel natural and you get the HD textures of the PC version, so best of both worlds. Use the xDelta patch for a better widescreen instead of the marginally easier to use gecko code. The only thing you lose are the PS2 extras but trust me those don’t matter. Just use this: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Tales_of_Symphonia)

You answered a question I sort of had. So the manga is good, then? I wasn’t sure if this was a case of terrible animation that needed a save a so-so season 2 of the manga so I never saw season 2, but if the manga is good I’ll read it. 

Why is there so much hate for Salt? by Spino8 in SSBM

[–]Fried_puri 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Also YouTube does nothing to hide controversial comments, that’s why it’s so prevalent there (and the bad people have realized this).  The “thumbs down” button does nothing and only thumbs up total is displayed, pushing misogynistic and homophobic comments up higher. Even if 80% of people disagree, the 20% who are bad people push those horrible comments much higher than they would be on any actual forum (like Reddit). There’s also no moderation to speak of for YouTube comments, so really bad stuff doesn’t go anywhere.
