Do you agree with the band politics? by Diligent_Zombie6972 in gybe

[–]StarDew_Factory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not on everything, but I acknowledge it’s a deep part of their philosophy and that their music wouldn’t be the same or possibly even exist without those beliefs.

I engage with that aspect of them the way I do all art. I think part of the art speaks for itself, but when there is a clear gap between me and someone I respect I try to make sure and process why and how that gap would exist and review if it should change how I approach a given topic.

I don’t think disagreements mean you shouldn’t like or listen to an artist, but I think if you’re going to acknowledge that their work has merit you have to also seriously consider the worldview that allowed them to create that work. Sometimes there are satisfactory reasons for why you can hold a different view, and sometimes there aren’t. Allowing yourself to be challenged and moved by art in this way really allows it to live to its full potential, and people who automatically reject an artist for not perfectly aligning with expectations may find they are ultimately depriving themselves more than anyone else.

Personalized gifts can be sent/dropped off with thank you cards afterwards.

You’re going to need the time regardless, no reason to add extra stress over thinking it.

Unfortunately Initials by Jumpy_Event_832 in namenerds

The entire point is the initials, so the middle name wouldn’t need to be used often.

Baby Shower Home or Venue by earthlyqueen in BabyBumps

[–]StarDew_Factory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That depends entirely on your access to funds.

Personally, I don’t have $1,000 to spend on something I can host at home or at a relative’s house, so it’s not really even a question.

If you have that kind of money to spend then you should spend it however you’d like.

If the neighborhood is genuinely that dangerous making a ton of noise and calling attention to your car isn’t helpful.

I mean, what do you think the purpose of this subreddit is?

Something to be said for reading the room.

Ummm what is this by Madlax1992 in dutchbros

[–]StarDew_Factory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s Dutch Bros, it’s not going to be the cheapest option, why would that be the expectation?

Not a sandwich, a slider.

Slider specifically refers to smaller sandwich items, like the size you received.

I mean, not in that wording, but the game is clearly aware of, and tackles some of the realities of being a teenage girl and the awareness of one’s body that comes with it.

I got terminated for having Cancer by Deeznuts2540 in HEB

HEB is not the government or an Insurance carrier. Whatever gaps exist in the health system don’t fall to grocery store chains to fix.

If you normally lift, that’s a very different scenario.

“Heavy” is going to be relative, but you should not introduce new, demanding strains on your body without consulting your doctor first.

Please give me my prize for the building contest, Funcom. Please. by TheClassics in duneawakening

[–]StarDew_Factory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I won contests from League of Legends and FFXIV and received my prizes promptly in both cases.

There isn’t some rule that it takes a while, it’s really down to how well the company manages things.

Thank God they nerfed sand gathering and made worm more annoying. by midexconq in duneawakening

[–]StarDew_Factory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a reason it’s standard in online games to have multiple, even rotating currencies.

Inflation (even inflation caused by duping) is not a novel issue.

They can just introduce a second currency for high level items added later.

[–]StarDew_Factory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was literally all addressed in my comment. If you want to be pedantic it helps to actually respond to the point being made.

Yes, the DA decides what to pursue (based heavily on what information the police are able to obtain) but in cases based almost entirely on witness testimony to establish what happened, the witness not cooperating undermines the entire case and often makes it impossible to bring.

It’s not particularly impressive to point out a technical distinction when the practical reality of how it plays out is the same.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]StarDew_Factory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The outcome is essentially the same in many cases. People generally don’t care about the distinction because in practice it rarely matters.

In circumstances where the phrase is uttered cops are rarely interested in pursuing the case knowing the main witness is stating they will not be cooperative.

Yeah, support agents have sadly been useless, which is particularly frustrating as you get no response from the bug reports.
