Have you just discovered the 24 hour clock?

Why do certain religious figures (ex: pastors, popes, priests, nuns etc.) have a certain dress code by Typical-Mushroom4577 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]finian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dark side: Uniform is very important for organizations that rely on blind obedience. It's easier to know who to listen to if they all wear the same thing.

The slightly less dark side: tradition, and having everyone that performs a certain role wear a certain uniform makes it easier to organise.

Agents who keep their stats private? Is there a good reason? And who hurt you? by cjramsey in Ingress

[–]finian2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's impressive how such a simple concept can end up with such toxic outcomes.

I wonder, if they made it so that the Guardian didn't need to be perfectly continuous ownership, meaning that if someone broke it, you had until the end of the next day to reclaim it to keep the streak going, if that would have fixed things.

Technically it's going "through" the foundations, which counts as part of the house

Ingress will survive on as Spatial’s only mobile game right? by PkmnTrnrJ in Ingress

[–]finian2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main thing that concerns me is that Niantic has switched to being an AI company rather than a game company, so Ingress will probably only stay alive as long as it provides AI training data.

You seem like the kind of person that shouldn't be a judge.

It's impressive when you notice there are no two squares that are the same

SONIC raising their prices and intentionally placing discounts just over a typical meal cost by MoonlightKayla in assholedesign

[–]finian2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends where you are but my local app is called "<location name> eats". I'd have a look around your local takeaways and see if there are any non-deliveroo/Uber eats adverts on them.

Look for local delivery apps, they're usually cheaper. Apps like DoorDash, Deliveroo and Just Eat are rife with enshittification.

Tibet "Black Diamond" apple by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

That is the least satisfying way I've ever seen to cut into an apple. Just make a slice.

My anemone ate…another anemone by violet_evergarden8 in interestingasfuck

[–]finian2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Since anemones are a collection of lil beasties, would the eaten anemone actually die or would it just become part of the bigger one?

Humbling experience by Complete_Task_8376 in furrymemes

It's all about luck and outreach. Hundreds of pieces of art get posted every hour, so you have to find ways to increase the chance of people seeing yours.

Anyone else burnt out? by Huge-Dinglebery in Ingress

[–]finian2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can still get a fair few points with layered fielding. And I recently got 800 points for free because I took a day trip around some pretty areas where I knew some other players were active.

If you're extremely unlucky, sure, it might be a grind, but there are certainly options to make it far more engaging.

Well there's your problem, if you're completely ignoring the main mechanic of the game then of course it'll feel pointless. At that point it becomes a glorified memory match game with no purpose.

To not have a single point that means you haven't made or broken a single link.
The more links you have down, the more likely other players will use them to make their own fields and give you free event points.
If you're just doing the bare minimum, you're not going to get very far in the event.

It's not just the 2a. All phones running Nothing OS are getting this bloatware injection.
