  Isn’t there an episode where Maggie is grown up? Or am I thinking of Lisa?

  I choose to believe it’s the adult version

  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

  Only if the people allow them to. Don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi checking out another CEO in my feed ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi checking out another CEO in my feed ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  someone who looks just like him immediately assassinates murders another CEO

  It’s only an assassination if you kill someone of high importance, usually political importance

  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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horses ARE Forever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE CLASS WAR IS BACK, BABY!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is lacking something metaphysical⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m like this and it’s not really a trauma thing for me. I’m just autistic and ADHD which basically means I take advice too seriously and I have a bad habit of getting into someone’s field of view or in their way by accident. As a result of being advised to be less visible every time I got in someone’s view, I accidentally became invisible. It’s something I’ve been working on lately actually and I’ve noticed I scare people less often since I started thinking about it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why women live longer then men⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can not get to you under the blanket

  Good point.

  There actually an interesting reason behind this.

  And here’s the real one, if anyone is interested. Alligators are ambush predators, and they don’t do very well with twisting. They’re designed to go forwards, and boy oh boy do the GO FORWARDS. So, poking at it’s side actually does make it hesitant because it is afraid that whatever is touching it over there is just as fast as it is. However, whatever is over there touching it’s side doesn’t have to twist, whereas it would. Therefore, it sits still and hopes that you either get in front of it, pass over it, or at least be swift.
