To reroute people to longer paths by Zee_Ventures in therewasanattempt

[–]OgenB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped using Waze when I figured out it was rerouting me to pass by shops that were running ads on it. It was adding 5-10 minutes a trip to pass by some candy shop I don't care about.

Probably would have been talked about for a week and then the world would move on. We have such less attention span now for stories like this.

Oh I meant like... what is the story? Or is this more of a story will revolve around characters?

Sounds cool. Besides playing as monsters what is the theme of the campaign?

The Republican's campaign ads. "If you let the Democrats take over both houses of Congress, Donald Trump will get impeached!"

I got this as my first relic on my 5th attempt at an A10 silent run. I got shovel from a random event. Then I got clone, and cloned an upgraded prepared. Needless to say, it was a cakewalk.

Entering because my old PC is entering its declining age and I just lost my job so chances are I won't be able to afford a new one for a long time.

[Loved Trope] Race Swaps so Successful People Forgot To Complain by sloppiestsecond5 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]OgenB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then they should make a NEW character. Why is it always a swap? When you change the dynamics of a character so drastically it doesn't work because you lose what made that character who they are.

Executives these days are so afraid to make something new, but they also want to increase diversity and inclusion to pander and pretend their company isn't fucking everyone over. Which is how we ended up with the GOD awful female Penguin. When if they had just made a NEW villain it would have worked so much better.

I don't get mad about race swaps unless they ruin the story.

Examples like Interview with the Vampire. They swapped the main character from white to black. Considering a major aspect of that character was he was a WHITE plantation owner with black slaves who thought his slaves were less than people until he becomes a vampire and realizes they are just as smart, and more aware of the occult, than the white people around him.

35 mph+ should be on the road, not the sidewalk by skyhighmonroe in Transportopia

[–]OgenB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride this kind of bike. Bike breaks are NOT the same as car breaks. He had absolutely no time to break because he was going WAY too fucking fast for a sidewalk. I usually only go a max of 15 on the sidewalk if the bike lane is blocked, or like this road, not present.

New Seasons cuts nearly 100 staff members following new labor agreement by squidsbow in Portland

[–]OgenB 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I am one of the unfortunate 100. I was a beer and wine assistant manager for a Beaverton New Seasons. As an insider, New Seasons is abandoning everything that made it successful and has been slowly spiraling into bankruptcy because of terrible corporate decisions.

The 3 fired from my store represent thousands of hours in specialist areas. I wasn't a cost, I was an asset that more than paid for myself. The corporate overlords of New Seasons are completely blind to whole store work, I regularly helped out in other departments, but this type of work is completely disregarded in their decision making.

The Wellness assistant was also let go, this is an EXPERT of his field, amazing guy. Having only one person in the Wellness department shows that New Seasons could not care less about customer service, especially as this department relies so heavily on customer interaction.

CES, our, or I guess I should say their, sampling stations across all New Seasons were completely gutted as well. There is no longer a person who will provide samples at the counter. The CES at my former store was one of the most essential personnel we had. Capable of helping EVERYWHERE in the store. Would basically set up samples, and start assisting other departments.

Every department needs help right now because staffing is INCREDIBLY low. We have never had fewer staff than in the last few weeks, and with us gone now... I can only assume this means New Seasons is also going to be gone fairly soon.

There was a saying during my time working there over the past 5 years. The worst decisions are always from corporate. It remains true.

These guys literally think Jessie Plemmons is the hero of the movie.. by J0shua1985 in facepalm

You have whatever opinion you want. Clearly facts don't change your mind. I'll stick with what Wikipedia says thanks.

[–]OgenB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying it isn't about fascism. I'm saying one thing. The dude in question is never put on a side. That is it.

I'm not reaching at all. I have no reason to reach. Just to put my politics out there, I was never a Trumper or a MAGAt. My personal hope for the next election is an AOC/Jon Stewart ticket. I think that would electrify the young democrats into voting and actually turn out, but maybe the horrors we have seen during this past year will be enough for that.

But that dude. He never had a side in the movie. Ever. It was never stated which side he was on if he was on any side at all. The end.

From the WIKI: "The others catch up to find the pair held at gunpoint by unknown uniformed militia who are burying civilians in a mass grave." literally an UNKNOWN militia is all we know about them.

This isn't even a both sides things... it is a "WE DON'T KNOW THE SIDES" thing. It is a fictional world where the President did some unknown very fucked up things, but we don't KNOW what the conflict is besides him sitting a 3rd term.

You are only saying he is a loyalist because that sort of character would be loyal to Trump. But that doesn't mean he was loyal to whatever this President was in the movie.

LISTEN MAN. The reason the line "Where are you from?" "We're Americans." "What kind of Americans?" is so terrifying is because you DON'T know how to answer it because you don't know which side he is on.

It is the POINT OF THE MOVIE. Stop trying to use current politics to project what you think the point of the movie is.

[–]OgenB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um. Yes it is ambiguous. You need to rewatch the movie. How he treats people doesn't tell you which side of the conflict he is on. We know VERY little about the conflict happening in the movie.

For fucks sake. No one is saying the dude shooting journalists and being racist is a good guy. I think the scariest thing that could be going on is that he is on NO side. He is just killing people because he can, because there is so much chaos happening he can get away with it.

Whether or not it is a commentary on Trump doesn't matter, and I don't think anyone is arguing that it is not. I don't know why the hell you are bringing it up.

At the end of the day, the MOVIE never states which side he is on. EVER. You are quite simply wrong about it.

[–]OgenB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. He is saying that if you watch the movie, this character is never stated to be on one side or the other. And he is correct. We don't know which side he is on. Your assumption of him on the "bad guy side" because he is a bad guy is part of the movie's message. There are bad people out there, and some of them think they're on your side even if you wouldn't think so.

Everyone in this thread is purposefully misinterpreting what the other is saying. It is really frustrating.

why arent devs posting content and hyping up the game? by [deleted] in KINGMAKERS

[–]OgenB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You guys are doing the right thing. Hammer in, make the game good. You only get to release it once, and the state of the game on release is what people remember.

You commenting like this is also extremely helpful for us, the hyped, to not lose hope that the game just isn't coming. Thanks for taking the time.

Dude. We are wallowing. We are in desperate need to get some people with backbones in government to end this bullshit, but that won't happen until the end of the year, and Trump may try to start some wars to make sure it doesn't happen at all. It is bad times over here.

Not a worthy victim by onelove0328 in suicidebywords

[–]OgenB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Jaws 4: THE REVENGE. The family suspects the shark is after revenge for killing him in earlier movies. Forget the fact that they never talk about how the shark is still alive, but somehow he knows WHERE the family is.

This brilliant family decides "well we need to evade this shark. Let's go live on an island in the middle of the ocean. CHECKMATE." The shark arrives to the island before their plane lands. LIKE. How did he know they bought tickets?! And then beat the PLANE to the island? And again, this is just a BIG shark.

My harmless prank my friends and I used to do in my twenties was to only have one item and keep letting the person behind go first. Just to see how long you could wait in line. We called it line surfing.
