I believe the meme I’m referencing is an evolution of that one. I choose to take this as proof that I’m right

Good point. Now I’m more sure, it’s the meme template of two dudes walking up to each other and dramatically shaking hands. Not sure what to call it, I’ve seen anime characters and giga-chads and all kinds of stuff in it. Similar to the solidarity meme, but usually in video form. I think it originated on vine?

I also believe that next to the dab is the “solidarity” meme where two buff dudes grab hands

Oh my god I feel so stupid. I’ve been arguing back and forth whether it was worth de-atomizing my steam deck to spin up alpaca in docker. I forgot they have a flatpak

Davy in the Navy
Davy, or Davie, is an actual name that people use. It’s not a butchering of Dave. I have a supervisor named Davie

You could do them by hand with substitution
I was expected to memorize the integrals for trig functions. I did not. I just did substitution every time until I eventually memorized the table right around the time I finished calculus lmao

The other issue with periodic password changes, particularly in the workplace but also relevant in normal life, is that it causes people to write down their password. The issues with that should be glaring enough

The fuck he is. He was some overpayed dickwad with more ego than brains. Corporations should not hold any political significance, much less their executives

I would imagine that “wet” has more to do with the sexual degradation of women, viewing them only as the “wetness” of their vaginal cavity and not as people. Considering the source, of course
- Comment on For all you inked people 7 months ago:
I prefer that my kids know that face tattoos are a terrible idea…
Ever heard of a cyclical issue? Basically, you believe that people will think less of them for having face tattoos because you think less of people with face tattoos. You’re perpetuating the intolerance that you fear your kids would face.
Tattoos don’t mean that you’re stupid, especially not in today’s world where tattoo removal is increasingly available to the laymen. What do you gain by judging people in that way? Just more reason to feel better than them?

Not OP, but I’ll give my two cents anyway (I like the sound of my own voice… Or I guess the look of my own text in this case)
Why would I want your post deleted
You came off a bit adversarial in the first comment. I would believe you meant to come off as curious, but unfortunately text doesn’t translate tone well.
Why would you do it if I wanted you to
Human decency. You could also block them, but that’s your perogative.
But yeah please explain how you’re enslaved
The US government does a lot of work to make sure slavery stays legal, they just don’t use that word. Private prisons are the most obvious example of this, but they’re also stripping freedoms and rights from individuals who have never been incarcerated. They make a show every now and then to make it seem like that that’s not what they’re doing, but if you really take a look at the policies that are getting pushed right now and have been pushed in the last few years, you’ll see it.
I can’t remember which state it is, but at least one of them are trying to pseudo-reinstate Jim Crow laws or whatever it’s called when they restrict voting. Married women, older people and the disabled are being intentionally pushed away from polls by making the ID requirements stricter. And that’s one of the tamest examples I’ve seen lately

TL;DR: Game balance is incredibly complex, and the amount of attention to detail required is insane in order to keep all of these in check. You can do anything with anything if you know how.
Just to piggyback, it’s actually possible to do any of these with mechanics or numbers, although depending who you’d ask this breakdown is either spot on or the wildest shit they’ve ever heard because game balancing is a weird difficult concept.
Precision Numbers: Think overflow. Whoops, you missed the mark by 1 or 2 and wasted some points.
Precision Mechanics: Best example I can think of is a bullet hell or a racing game as you explained. More enemies/bullets = less space to maneuver.
Complexity Numbers: Think bloated idle games and daily quests (aka Tedium)
Complexity Mechanics: Like adds on a raid boss. Extra things to worry about.
Timing Numbers: Time attack in a racing game is a great example of this
Timing Mechanics: Quick time events, but only if they’re done well
Punishment Numbers: Less HP, more damage, etc. fairly obvious
Punishment Mechanics: Again going back to rogue likes, it’s not uncommon to have multiple types of HP which swings Punishment around depending on how those types of HP work.
Resource Consumption Numbers: Drop rates, mana, health pools
Resource Consumption Mechanics: Usually this is where layering resources occurs, gear and a skill tree or a skill tree and temporary buffs, etc. Metacurrency can be considered either mechanical or numbers based depending on how it’s handled.

We largely see the show from the perspective of Brain. It’s not unbelievable that Pinky, or some of the “stupid” things he says are hallucinations, whether visual or auditory and that Brain attributes his hallucinations to Pinky’s “stupidity” due to the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Obviously, this is a death of the author interpretation but… I think we all died this year anyway so that feels alright

Right? It would be so much cheaper if we just used to the reinforcing steel to create thin tracks which we could put much more thermally efficient and eco-friendly wheels onto. In turn, we could carry exceptionally large loads of cargo or people over vast distances for a mere fraction of the cost (monetary) and a fraction of the cost (to the world) by creating long, highly aerodynamic vehicles capable of moving at ridiculously high speeds that would be uncontrollable for the average joe on the road.
Wait, haven’t I heard of something like this before?

I can’t remember if this was said to me or if I overheard it. Maybe I’m fabricating the memory entirely, but in any case, I recall a conversation where someone said almost exactly what you did in that last sentence. The reply was of course
“Well someone always gets hurt.”
“What do you mean?”
“It costs someone money to put those bathrooms in.”
Cue the “what the fuck did I just hear” alarms
