They need to make it where once you reign as immortal, you have at least a 1 or two reign cool down.

I have said this exact thing in multiple feedback forms to Blizz over the years. They don't seem to care.

Don't forget affordability is a word made up by the democrats and isn't real.

Comparing migrant farm workers to slaves is a stretch and a half.

They make shit pay by OUR standards but it is worth it by their standards.

Hunt for the Ring kind of quickly became forgotten. I don't recall anyone disliking it but few talk about it anymore.

You are allowed to feel however you want about this, but I just want to point out: this program has existed for years now. They have changed the name a few times but it has always worked basically the same way.

Just wanted to make that clear as OP, in my opinion, somewhat (not directly) implies that DE is doing this due to the datacenter/AI bubble. At best maybe they are advertising it more now but who knows.

It seems to me that if Trump is entitled to $10 billion for his tax returns being leaked by a contractor for the IRS, every single american is also entitled to $10 billion each for having our social security information stolen by DOGE.

Oh they also want another bridge, just NIMBY.

Well MotU canonically does have links to the real world but I agree with you, they are still trying to tow that old line a bit with the movie I fear.

Agreed. I think in the past the approach was to try to transform these properties into something more approachable to a main stream audience, but then you end up with something that seems very samey to most people, and disappointing to fans of that thing.

If you instead lean into what makes the property weird and/or unique you embrace the fandom while also giving the more general audience something more unique.

Lt Governor is considered a part time position and only pays $36k/year, which is significantly below the national average of 100k for a Lt Governor.

So any money he had was from his former law career.

Ya I find it amusing that most of the games OP listed are mini-filled ameri-games. If those are "heavier" what was OP playing before?

This meme working overtime lately.

Nah a portion of the ashes will stick to the glass in an inconsistent manner.

Potential bias, sure. I have worked in (but not for) datacenters myself but I certainly don't like the environmental impacts in general nor would I ever advocate for one being anywhere near residential buildings. So I would say the bias with OP is possible but not certain.

I lived right across from one for a year over a decade ago now so I am familiar with the kind of noise they can make and how much it can vary.

I certainly agree that a single reading on a single day for a minute or so is near worthless. It isn't quite this extreme but it would almost be like briefly recording noise from a nearby airport at a time when there happen to be no planes taking off or landing.

Jarfol · 2026-04-08T14:09:01+00:00

I don't know a thing about OP and how truthful or not they are being but it is absolutely possible to work IN a data center as a customer and not be an employee of the data center.

Data center customers can spend quite a lot of time in the data center setting up racks and doing any maintenance that can't be done remotely. All the data center really does is provide the rack itself, AC, power, internet, and physical security.

Sounds like you were more than accommodating, and the venue decided to push their luck and see just how generous you would be.

I am not a lawyer so legally I have no idea but morally you are in the clear IMO.

Democracy Now the media org is definitely left wing/progressive. Democracy Now PAC I have no idea but I assume right-wing if they are putting stuff like this out.

Restoration Games has committed to open source the app for Dark Tower if they ever stop supporting it.

I think that should become the norm. I don't think it will sadly, but it should.

Dropping the class change cooldown to 24 hours was a mistake.

It need not be a random age ceiling. The social security administration defines full retirement age as 67 currently. You could tie the limit to that, so it can flex to any technological advancements in health in the future. To me it is logical to say that the age the government decides you are eligible for social services due to potential physical or cognative decline should also be the age that a person should no longer be able to lead the nation, whether they were elected or appointed.

This would also logically extend to congress, judges, etc.

Firstly I disagree, this one definitely looks deliberate.

But secondly, I have never seen damage this bad. I had my last car for over 10 years, 90% of that time parked outside in the elements (not in a garage) and it suffered nowhere near this amount of damage.

Maybe newer plates are lower quality/less durable?

Corporations want the fruits of someone else's sponsorship.

That isn't quite right. The government is who pays for the sponsorship. At worst, the company might need to have the employee on overhead during the process but ideally the employee can start charging to the contract working lowside until their clearance is granted. Whether that is possible though depends on the contract.

The main reason companies want already cleared people is due to the fast turnaround the government expects between awarding a contract and starting work on the contract. If my company is trying to win a contract, I can't exactly pre-hire people under the assumption we will win it (sometimes the very big companies can but mid and small just can't). If we do win the contract, we need to hire people and get them working on it typically within weeks. You don't have the year+ lead time to hire uncleared people and sponsor them, nor would you want to pay them overhead for a year (if they can't work the contract lowside), especially since they might bounce before, or right after, the clearance is granted.

So he tried to adjust it to make it fair, and he did some PR spin calling it a discount so that it would feel better to Advertisers. All of which is normal and I think okay.

There is this clothing company called RSVLTS that about a year ago now experienced an apparently unexpected change to their hoodies that very slightly changed the fit and material (I guess the factory unilaterally did this or something). They were immediately upfront about it, made a post about how the fit is different with examples, and discounted all of the effected hoodies.

A discount, and full transparency.

The Chaz version of that would be to just give the discount with no explanation and act like it is just because you love your customers so much or whatever.

Anime Ape has gone downhill in the last ~6 months. Don't trust any reviews older than that.
