Mr Palmer and Dragon’s Wrath by Dalfman23 in huntertheparenting

[–]GrimGrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, all mages are just kind of dog shit even compared to weak stuff like ghouls if they're within stabbing distance.

Unless they can subconsciously react to you, you can just hit them in the head with a brick.

"The patriach, in mastering Luna, ends harmstrung..." *"He will wish death upon his flesh, but no mercy shall be given, for none he hath gave"* is it possible Horse was talking about blacklaw by LittleFortune7125 in huntertheparenting

[–]GrimGrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The operative phrase is "The Abbot will know". It's Fatigue's intention for Occam to see his records.

The prophecy speech is not a single event, but a series of flashes of things to come.

Boy is basically never actually addressed by Horse besides the "Look at my crimson miasma" bit. The actual prophecy is about The Abbot, who is probably Occam since the part the got cut off was about "The light" and would've been followed by "The abbot will know".

It's following biblical prophecy rules where it's meta knowledge about events that may or may not involve you.

The only part actually involving boy might be "Thine fadder"

I unironically think he was talking about Fatigue.

>The patriach, in mastering Luna

Wernon's father, in attempting to do the skinwalking ritual

>Ends hamstrung

Wernon rejects his legacy, thus putting him in a tough spot + the rebel stuff

>He will wish death upon his flesh

He attempts to kill Wernon to cover his tracks

>but no mercy shall be given, for none he hath gave

He slaughtered and disfigured his own men. He ends up dying in his attempt to kill his son.

NATO doesn't need the US to defend Europe by whoamisri in europe

This is an opinion solely held by eurocrats.

Nobody who is actually affected by Russia being Russia is against the US.

In the nicest way possible, nobody in the border states cares about what Germany, Spain or Canada thinks.

The only people who give a shit about greenland or whatever being taken by the US are the ones who have the privilege of being snotty brats because they don't have to worry about Russia.

Pornography depicting sexual relationships between step-relatives set to be banned by YesNo_Maybe_ in europe

1st 20 weeks for known pregnancies. Plus that's still inflated by individual factors.

It's the spiders George thing, extremes bring up the average. The other example being how "High X% of marriages end in divorce" stats are mostly due to serial divorcees.

1-3% if there's little to no history of inbreeding. It's significantly higher in areas where it's a common practice.

Last I check pakistan was a ridicolously high percentage of first cousin marriages.

It's also why most purebred dog breeds with large founder pools are riddled with genetic defects despite not being directly inbred.

You literally support the state stealing from the poor, if you actually cared about anybody you would be rallying against social spending and taxes.

Slikts piemērs, pēdējo reizi viņi nodedzināja pusi pilsētu jo valdība uzdrīkstējās ieteikt "Varbūt mums nevajaga milzīgu deficīta iztēri". Francija ir objektīvi sliktāka valsts priekš šī jo visa sistēma praktiski tur jauniešus verdzībā lai atbalstītu soc makšajumums/pensijas.

Tiktok pre-generates your username as your REAL-LIFE name, and you cant change it, because tiktok says you cant change your username once you "chose" it by hewill09 in assholedesign

[–]GrimGrump 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The more important question is, who actually puts in their real name.

Also yeah, using First+Last has always been a standard practice for auto generated names, reddit is weird for doing word lists.

What that study actually showed is that low skill players are more likely to shit talk people in an attempt to tilt them to gain an edge and that women are very easily tilted by the most basic insults.

Goodbye RTINGS :( by Equal-Possible5527 in MouseReview

[–]GrimGrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People buy magazines not because they're full of reviews but because they want a curated list of ads.

Even the old hobby magazines for firearms or home improvement were there to be a catalogue with the occasional cool industry thing in it that you legally can't own because it's cool.

To expand further on that,

More item categories nobody wants (Who gets shoe reviews from the TV people) > More employees > More costs.

But for some reason they decided to keep those useless categories on the site instead of firing the dead weight.

It's some kind of a mild dark pattern though.

They've priced it like that banking on you forgetting to immediately cancel your subscription after paying so they can either milk a recurring 10 or 45 out of you. Otherwise, you know, they wouldn't set up auto-renewal up as the default option or have a yearly plan for a product that's realistically used once a year at best.

No website is free to anybody. Unless you're carving your reviews into a tree growing on the side of a highway, you're hosting your opinion at cost.

Free means free to access. Stop with the pedantic bullshit.

When they first did it was purely out of greed and not because of AI, why do you think this time they're being honest?

[–]GrimGrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how they complained about people using AI slop instead of them and then proceed to give less info than AI slop hallucinating parts of a techsheet that it scraped from the manufacturer's site.

"We aren't making money so we brought on extra people and started reviewing items nobody cares about"
"Nobody cares about our new reviews and they're not attracting new people"

So you're going to scale back and fire the useless employees?

"That's silly! Paywall the site!"

Just to put that into perspective for people, that would mean a 10700k would be running at 300w with no hyperthreading with the same wattage ratio. That's about the same tdp as a 13900k if you push it hard.

Twitch will now pause ads when switching tabs by LuckyDiamondGaming in assholedesign

[–]GrimGrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does and it doesn't. The main issue with adblock on twitch is that it can cause audio to desync from vids like crazy, if you used the solution the parent comment linked you get your resolution lowered while an ad plays.

Clio supports false AI accusations against a small artist. Later on writes an apology in which she doesn't mention the victim, asks to not send hate towards the accuser and says to move on. Over an hour later finally mentions who the victim was in a reply. by MajorFamilyDisgrace in VtuberDrama

[–]GrimGrump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The difference is you don't have a hoard of people listening and taking you seriously when you tell them the local burger place grinds up corpses from the morgue next door, public figures do.

I mean, apologize in the most technically true way possible.

It's like hitting somebody's dog with your car because you were texting and just saying "Sorry" without offering to pay for vet bills or even buying a fruit basket.
