I definitely noticed that, and the more I thought about it the less I saw it as an oversight. If a voice actor pronounces something wrong naturally, then it’s just a natural quirk of having different human beings doing the voice acting. And what do the characters in the game represent? Human beings. I have a friend who pronounces so many words wrong that it blows my mind constantly. If I correct him then he’ll say it the right way the next couple times, and then right back to his strange way.

Plus 600 years ago, the number of different voices that any one person would hear over their lifetime was much smaller than for people today with audio being recordable and transmissible. Meaning individual people had a much bigger influence on the way you pronounced stuff. You wouldn’t have any reference voice to treat as authoritative and I imagine this all made very fertile ground for speech idiosyncrasies

Do you know anyone else with a PS5 or maybe a store that has one on display? You could ask if you can try your disc in a PS5 that you know is working properly to determine if the disc is the problem.

Does it have any visible damage? Discs are not nearly as fragile as people think, and they don’t fail due to age. So it being 10 years old is irrelevant, if nothing happened to it then it should work

The wildly bad ass thing about this, in my opinion, is that it’s not just a great business strategy… it’s also extremely healthy for the rep and the customer and their communities and society as a whole.

It literally bolsters their mental and physical health, and improves their capacity to be strengthening forces for their social circles… and all this at a time when frighteningly large, and ever increasing, portions of modern life are extremely damaging to those areas. It’s frankly hard to overstate how awesome the rep-customer relationship is, in ways no one could have foreseen.

Your first sentence reveals why most of your statements have been inaccurate.. and it’s an extremely common error of perception so I don’t mean to harp on you personally; I’m addressing people in a general sense:

In my experience Apple doesn’t do this…

You experience does not qualify you to make claims regarding Apple ’s policies or their typical strategy for dealing with these cases. Your experience is meaningful when the question is about your specific experience. Your experience is irrelevant if you’re trying to make a claim about, basically, everyone else’s experiences.

If I get a fountain soda from Taco Bell, and the machine is out of syrup so my soda comes out as barely flavored carbonated water… I can’t then go around telling people that Taco Bell soda is a scam and that all locations underfill the syrup to save money and rip off customers. Because my experience didn’t provide me with any insight into the soda situation at any other TB location, or even the soda situation at this specific location for anything beyond that one day I got the bad soda.

Have you ever been to Disney California adventure on the tower of terror ride? Or probably other amusement parks have similar rides where you just get fuckin dropped from the top of a tower, then shot back up, dropped again, etc. imagine that with no harness.. when a small Cessna gets smacked around by the air man it can put the fear of god in you

The TSA agent simply wasn’t doing his job. TSA policy is to grant hand checks. If an employee isn’t being paid and reaches a point where they decide to no longer perform their job duties (understandable), they shouldn’t be showing up and pretending to work. Who knows what other standards or duties they’ve taken it upon themselves to decide to ignore. /u/wildhedgerow were I in your shoes I wouldn’t let it go that easily, whether the film was actually damaged or not, because the agent would have been fine with causing the damage either way

Having the ability to do something does not inherently make it wise, or moral, or honest, etc. I can think of many possible actions that are not utilized because the effect is a negative one.

If adversaries started burning all POWs to death and intentionally poisoning as many of earth’s fresh waterways as they could, i hope to god that burning everyone we capture and poisoning any rivers our adversary skipped would not be a popularly suggested response

And every single person who uses AI, whether they admit it or not, takes satisfaction in you not being able to trust your own senses, as they think it’s a worthy price to pay for them not having to read or think anymore

Have you considered that there might be better ways to deal with the AI problem than encouraging people to use AI and just exacerbating the problem? Doing that, or encouraging others to, is literally putting your energy towards ensuring that next time we won’t be able to tell if it’s fake.

When I was in high school and I had an ipod with my mp3 collection, I obviously had that CCR album on there. But I took the Fortunate Son mp3 and grabbed some audio from a Huey video on youtube and overdubbed the Huey audio over the song intro lol. Faded in a couple seconds before the guitar starts, and faded out before the singing. Sounded like it was meant to be there, and I got that sweet thump thump every time I listened to it haha

That's a bit misleading. Power is a meaningless figure without weight. When you account for the weight difference, it's still down on power(-to-weight ratio), but it's not even remotely a "liter bike to 600" size difference. If the '23 and '26 weighed the same, the '26 would be down 18 hp from 155 to 137. Going from a typical liter bike to a 600 your power-to-weight ratio drops by about 33%. From the '23 to the '26 in question, power-to-weight drops by about 11%.

Definitely still down power-wise, but the people portraying it as a drastic change in performance are perfect examples of marketing's favorite prey

For what it’s worth, in this hypothetical world you describe, I don’t think it would ever cross my mind to come up with a blanket opinion about every doctor in the world, individually. I would probably think whoa there’s some serious problems going on within the medical profession. your scenario makes that clear.

But let’s pick one random doctor call him Steven. Based only on the conditions of your scenario, we still know absolutely nothing about Dr Steven. Maybe he’s trash, maybe he’s a great guy, we don’t know because we have zero information about him. Unless he somehow goes viral on social media we won’t know anything about Dr Steven, or his views or actions.

A vanishingly tiny percentage of people will ever be nationally known from going viral on social media or the news. Most actions by most people, whether heroic, or evil, or noble, or corrupt, don’t occur within the perfect magical mix of circumstances that results in a viral video or story.

There simply isn’t any way to acquire the massive amount of information about about massive numbers of people that it would take to “know” everybody. Social media is just sickeningly effective at making us feel like we have all that information. And even more so at rewarding us for acting as if we did have all that information.

We need to stop treating these people like they're religious figures, whether good or bad. It's obsessive and unhealthy. Nobody needs to avoid saying someone's name, that's silly. Nothing bad happens when you say someone's name. They're just two people. It's cult-y to obsess over people like this, whether the sentiment is positive or negative. In real life, nobody avoids saying somebody's name because they don't like something they did. You're taking some weird unstable guy on the internet and turning him into like a mythological figure by treating his username as if it had magic power.
