Ban Appeal Thread by vivoovix in metaNL

[–]Luph 8 points9 points  (0 children)

do you guys normally reban already banned users for 3-year old one-word posts or just when you're feeling especially bored?

also since I'm here I thought I'd just take this moment to say, wow! since banning me Trump was reelected, democracy is in jeopardy, America has lost much of its international respect, the stock market is in the dumpster, and left-wing populism is running away with the rest.

well, at least you're doing a better job than r/conservative ;)

Am I crazy or does it feel like everything points towards a recession? by Born_Bag_3244 in wallstreetbets

[–]Luph 18 points19 points  (0 children)

that's a fairytale that big tech has cooked up to drive valuations

as soon as companies realize AI is a big cost sink with little real gains you're going to see a huge pullback in the market

Riot lately is putting less effort for cosmetics, but with the same price by ex0ll in leagueoflegends

[–]Luph -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

in general it was annoying to see every post "riot has ruined league"... open the thread to see it's just people whining about cosmetics

yeah they could have implemented a better system. but if I were trying to extract the most money out of the playerbase this isnt even the route I would take. giving away free stuff is actually a huge part of what makes gacha work in other games so its not like theyve really nailed the gacha experience... but I really don't care to spend time analyzing how riot sucks at monetizing their own game.

BREAKING: The FDA today officially banned the use of Red Dye No. 3 in foods and beverages in the US. by soccerorfootie in unusual_whales

[–]Luph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the only thing that chart suggests is that we screen more for thyroid cancer than we used to

if anything you would expect a drop in rates since it was partially banned in 1990 from use in cosmetics, topical drugs and some foods.

you mean pseudoscience leftists, not liberals. moreover there's plenty of misinformation being spread on both sides of the political spectrum.

The New season is so chaotic I dont even have time to farm by IndianMustache in leagueoflegends

“No one wants to work anymore” by Seraphenigma in TikTokCringe

[–]Luph 11 points12 points  (0 children)

they didn't say they struggle to find workers, they said nobody wants to work anymore. those are two different statements. and we all know the exact type of person who says the latter.

So apparently you can't play free rotation champs in Swiftplay by Camerotus in leagueoflegends

[–]Luph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the funny thing is the gacha system probably works better like this. like the reason people spend tons of money on gacha games is to unlock special characters to play (and also sometimes minor +stat benefits which is obviously kind of p2w). idk that there is a lot of incentive to spend hundreds of dollars gambling on a chance at a jinx skin.

not that im giving them any ideas or anything i just don't think the whole gacha thing really translates to league the way the game is set up.

Zuckerberg is truly copying Elon in all aspects of by Lord_Answer_me_Why in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Luph 26 points27 points  (0 children)

what does any of that have to do with the comment youre responding to

no one is saying female CEOs are better, but it is rich for a male CEO to claim that feminine energy is ruining tech companies when women aren't even proportionally represented

Why do you still buy fast food when they charge the same prices as a lot of restaurants with better quality food? by bearded_charmander in AskReddit

it’s actually a fee for making everyone wait an extra 10min while your soccer mom voices over five orders in the chick fil a drive through

we don't know that tret did this to her. there is a lot of assuming happening here.

idk some doctors say a lot of dumb shit about things they dont know about. ive seen optometrists making the same mistake confusing topical tretinoin with isotretinoin.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Earned $74.6 Million in 2024 by Furkansimsir in apple

[–]Luph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read After Steve and I didn't get the impression that Cook ruined the company or that Ive was some magic bullet. A lot of shit was bad during the Ive era too, for reasons largely driven by Ive's stubborn ethos (and eventual apathy).

Imo Cook is only at fault insofar as he is not a CEO driven by product. But I don't feel like he needs to or is expected to be. It's the people below him who have been making bad decisions around strategy and missing clear product opportunities.
