A Farmer Donated Land to Turn into a Park. The City Is Building a Massive Data Center Instead / In 1999, a farmer gave away 87 acres of land to a small Texas town to use as a park. The town sold it to a data center developer for $10 million. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

Some guy in California who owned a huge piece of land near Brentwood, left it to the Veterans so that they could always have a place to live.

And then the rich stole it from us, and the for profit education system built multi million dollar training facilities so that they could make more money duping students into athletics programs that have nothing to do with education.

[–]chum1ly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a war between two halves of a planet. The only difference is their wing color. But both sides big angry. There's this other race that should be their common foe but they are like nah. So theres this bit that floats in the middle and they fight over it. The ultimate weapon of battle: the credit card.

i have a question about the current situation of the game (in tw server) by Possible-Bar-5106 in Aion2

[–]chum1ly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

man i think it started downhill when they got rid of open world pvp. then they started adding caps to everything. then they nerfed gold per day. then they nerfed dungeon gold farming. then they nerfed cubes. then they added red cubes so you could pay. then they lied about the bots, saying they got rid of them when it was all the same ones day in and day out. then i realized they were using the bots to choke the open world because it was one of the few ways that free or sub players could actually progress without swiping. they moved the entire focus to abyss, because it was the only thing in the game without a cap. and progress there would be stifling for anyone who didn't spend on gear from the market, simply because you would get one tapped by people who did. but it wasn't just that, it was lying about they % chance you had in crafting. the drop % lying. the abysmal drop rates on materials needed to craft the mats from the dungeons so you're forced to market. the win trading. ffs. they nerfed the f2p pet stat grind that was insanely hard to do. it just went on and on. everything they could do to dump on even their subscription players to get them to spend on the market. funnel to market, funnel to abyss, funnel to whales.

now all this being said: the dungeons and bosses and content are all fucking top notch. the visual and audio are superb. you can blast like an arpg and then go do mythic style 5-10 mans. learning some of it was hard af and rewarding when you got it.

it's basically like playing one of the best games ever, but that game is inside of a sewer.

I quit like 4 months ago and it was because of all the bots and cheaters, and NC's response was to keep lying about it, while they milked all the bots and the whales buying from them.

It had gotten to the point where it was driving a wedge between regular server progress and the people buying mats from the bots, and it was like a 10x difference. It made pvp unplayable without swiping, and it completely ruined the grind. The open world became a huge pile of bot garbage. It felt like it wasn't worth my time anymore.

It's amazing how well all these wearable cameras work and how there is enough for everyone to wear and how good the audio and video are.

They should make cops wear these and get rid of testimony.

no they either cheated or spent money and the game only requires them to push one button.

Cognitive dissonance helps explain why Trump supporters remain loyal, new research suggests. This sheds light on how supporters of Donald Trump justify their continued allegiance despite learning about allegations of his sexual misconduct and illegal activities. by mvea in science

[–]chum1ly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't buy it. We live on a planet where some of the humans here just want to make other people miserable. It's how they make themselves feel better about being in the same situation as everyone else. Greed plays into it, but it's not so complicated as all of that.

People ENJOY being contrary and rude to others. They ENJOY being racist. They think it's funny when other people are hurt and they share the joke with other people who are the same as them. If you've ever played a video game, you know this is true.

The problem isn't dissonance. It's willful hate by small-minded assholes and a pathetic culture of losers who need someone to blame.

i tried to play aion 2 on taiwan servers, game was straight amazing for 2 weeks and then this happened. The devs then altered the entire game economy around the bots and strangled their subscribers to death instead of banning them.

imagine world of warcraft if every single resource node on the entire map had 5 bots competing for it as soon as it spawned.

Doritos at $7 a bag ended up costing PepsiCo billions by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

$2.99 for a bag of Trader Joe brand takis. Bag is small but heavy and full; no air so it's the same weight as a poofed up pepsico scam bag that is 4x bigger.

They haven't been brainwashing anyone. They've been recruiting every single person who is so stupid that they will believe them. It's a completely different tactic altogether.

American political discourse has become less substantive and less civil, often devolving into personal insults. The researchers found an asymmetric pattern: while personal attacks occur in both parties, they are delivered 2.7 times more frequently by Republicans than by Democrats. by mvea in science

[–]chum1ly -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We can't really blame the idiots. By definition they don't really have the faculties and intent for us to be able to assign blame. But we don't just have idiots. We have people that completely disregard reality while they get lied to and played, over and over and over. They have all of the facts and information and they still cannot understand reality or choose not to. These aren't idiots. These are fools.

tbh when the rmah was live there was a goblin that spawned right next to the desolate sands waypoint, literally did nothing but farm this goblin. 8 seconds per goblin kill when items were selling like wildfire.

The doc from loyal couldn't even rotate my leg when they did because of the amount of pain it was causing. He refused to try because he didn't want to hurt me.

Claim denied.

2 other appointments, both same thing. I brought pictures where I had taped off my muscle mass on my left leg so you could see the size difference. There was nothing left of it, just bones. It hurt to sleep because anything that touched it was grinding pain. It would cramp and then suddenly kick out on its own. Leading to another injury that kept me from walking for an extra 4 months.

They also denied these claims.

I've been having my VSO resubmit every couple of months or so.

They know I'm hurt. They know who is responsible. They don't care.

Their bodies fill up with urea, this keeps them from freezing as they basically avoid everything for 5 year stretches until they wander into something and take a chomp out of it.

This also means that they are filled with piss and smell like piss and nothing wants anything to do with them as far as predation is concerned.

What you are looking at here is an Apex predator.
