  I believe the very first one had skill points that unlocked and extended ending and game art.

  Not sure where the debate is this moment but from my understanding, vegans won’t eat honey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney creates best argument for piracy in a century.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So buying one ticket to Disney world means I get to go back whenever I want right?

  Do you not realize you just gave a justification for piracy?

  Do you care about moral reasoning or just what is legal where you currently are?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney creates best argument for piracy in a century.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t just say thats not a reason. That is the reason they pirated a movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨obesity⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it was understanding the idea of equilibrium. The way I use it is to mean the state of something given enough time that highs and lows have evened out.

  A practical example is with common diet mentality of dieting until reaching a goal, and then stopping the diet. The diet is a peak, not dieting is a valley, over time youll end up back at the same weight or more. Basically the problem is that modern diets give people high expectations when studies show the most likely scenario is that the weight is lost, and gained back plus some.

  So what will work. If we think of this long term equilibrium, the dieting doesnt work because they aren’t permanent changes. So if we agree the only way to stay healthy long term is to make permanent changes, we can agree that making cumulative small permanent changes that affect diet will ultimately result in lost weight.

  Sugar is the easiest to target IMO. Dairy, meat, and fish also are good things to target too as they cause other health problems besides weight gain. Switching to mainly water is another thing. Even taking on a new hobby or exercising a slight bit more will result in a net loss as less time is able to be spent on eating and more energy is spent physically.

  Plant based whole food diets usually result in weight loss because they are less calorie dense, so you will feel full with a fraction of the calories in your stomach. Alternatively you can lose weight with calorie dense foods, but you will likely have to deal with hunger more.

  Once I started thinking more like this, it was easier to come up with my own changes rather than shopping around diets with absurd restrictions. You know yourself best, make small changes and keep trending in a good direction, and if you make a “mistake” do your best to forget about it and immediately get back to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breast Cancer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It never makes mistakes that affect diagnosis?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breast Cancer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What a vague and unprovable thing you’ve stated there.

  You’ve read those gamepass on steamdeck instructions?

  I’m sure there exists someone who wants to do that but seems more like wishful thinking.

  I also thought it was interesting that they can’t create their own flatpack to supply for Edge, although I would never put a microsoft product on a linux station myself.

  The confusing part is the hosts change animals each panel, but there doesnt seem to be any reason for it. I was looking for a joke that wasnt there :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not even unknown, in my area x almost always refers to porn. So yeah he destroyed the brand for a name that at worst offends a large group of people .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this just a really bad business deal followed by absurdly poor leadership, but very visible?

  Did Elon make it obvious he had a completely different vision for twitter when he talked about buying it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair your question was phrased a bit confusingly. It was hard to tell if you were asking clarification or supporting Elon in some strange way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Might not be popular but you dont want to restrict that type of stuff in tech, because people very quickly and easily find ways around it, usually by using new similar words that call back to the prohibited ones.

  This is an area where moderation is key, and I think people might need to reconsider who they allow to send them direct messages. Especially I expect there to be a better way to vet someone who is trying to directly reach a stranger.

  If you are literally going to open your door to the whole world some bad stuff will fall in, but you dont have to let them into your private areas just because they made it in the front door.

  Trust networks are another idea, essentially verifying new people through acquaintances.

  If it was drug use wed call this enabling. Family shouldn’t get a pass to be dick bags.

  Thats absolutely the kind of rule that gets crowd sourced and becomes real, real fast.

  Rocket league had/had like a half dozen rules nearly everyone knows.

  Lol just keep pulling and the Velcro breaks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is anti drugs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry to be so negative there though, not really my intention.

  I’m glad you found strength to break such an important relationship when it was too much. What’s the airplane thing? Put on your mask before you help anyone else.

  Anyways hope things have improved in your life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restaurant group in Massachusetts is trying to reject a public vote on paying tipped workers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We aren’t advocating for the owner class. We are not responsible for how ownership responds to our actions.

  Just because an action might have negative effects for the works aside from the positives does not mean its a bad idea.

  The whole point of this is to pressure the owner class to pay a fair wage to their employees. Of course the owner class will attempt to defend their position, which likely means putting their workers into undo hardship.

  People are tired of playing games. Pay what someone is worth, and dont make them jump through hoops to get it.

  If you have a point to make, say it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restaurant group in Massachusetts is trying to reject a public vote on paying tipped workers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So go ahead and explain exactly where thr money is lost. Does the restaurant make less money now? Is an owner incapable of paying their employees the equivalent of what they made with tips?

  You said you know all of this so intimately, so lay it out for us idiots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restaurant group in Massachusetts is trying to reject a public vote on paying tipped workers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a good chance local markets differ here too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restaurant group in Massachusetts is trying to reject a public vote on paying tipped workers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well you can do a shitty version of anything. There are gains to be had switching to a non-tipped pay structure, but its up to the owner to distribute it fairly. Sounds like in your examples the owner collected the extra money themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is anti drugs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Like I said, its at least sad on some level. Sad things couldn’t work out, sad that she couldn’t manage to fix her problems before her loved ones had enough, sad for any kids involved.

  You can be justified in leaving and it still be sad. We can have compassion for those that we feel have wronged us, and oftentimes over time perspectives change.

  Good luck trying to win market share with a half baked game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is anti drugs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, you can have all the things you listed as being part of a ‘good life’ and still be in an awful relationship, or have problems that need dealing with. I’m not sure I’d brag quite like that about abandoning someone in a mental health crisis. Its at least sad isnt it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is anti drugs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You should possibly think about what let you to put MDMA in the fun group and Methamphetamine in the immediately addictive one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is anti drugs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even when its shitty its still pretty great, thats why its so enticing, it works.
