Why bother accepting fault and rolling back failed projects when you can use thr opportunity to turn what was previously standard into an upsell?
Fucking capitalism I swear to god.

If they get rid of the skirts, how are the police women supposed to stop everyone from seeing their underwear?
Does Japan’s perversion know no limits?
- Comment on After hours 2 days ago:
That’s quite a small view of temples. Seems mainly restricted to stereotypes of Catholic/Christian abuses.
There’s a whole world worth of shitty religious/spiritual practices you could be overgeneralizing!
What about ritualistic animal sacrifice? Burning of fragrant herbs and psychedelics while causing intentional heat stroke? Drinking “tea” mixed with blood and drugs and having delerious orgies masquerading as spiritual awakenings? Combat to the death? Bloodletting? We could get all the strong men together and make the youngin’s drink their semen for strength! We could have young women go streaking while guys chase them around with whips!
- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice Chat 6 days ago:
I made the same assumption, but I believe they stated it officially shortly after the game was first announced. Still dumb as hell though.

- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 1 week ago:
Probably update 2.00. They completely redid the game balance, about half of the damn RPG stat related mechanics, and reworked a decent chunk of the iconic weapon effects.
Notably, they removed the Overwatch sniper’s wall piercing. Intentionally. There’s mods to revert that.
- Comment on What causes this 1 week ago:
The worst is when you come across story spoilers for something in your backlog when you’re browsing.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 1 week ago:
Finding Nemo and Finding Dory. Like three times a piece. My two year old has a new favorite “show” of them.
“Daddy! Baby fish! Nemo Dory!”
Honey, how about Bluey or Muppets or Mr Rogers?
“No! Baby fish!”
Holy shit Marlin is just an asshole. So is Hank. I mean yes, ultimately they both do the right thing, but the way they put down Dory, even just casually during the “nice” coded scenes is rough.
- Comment on Moonbase Alpha: That time NASA made a meme video game 1 week ago:
AIEOU. MY ROFLCOPTER GOES SOI SOI SOI SOI.
All because the engine they used had an option for automatic text to speech for the chat.
I think that’s just a default Quake 4 engine thing.

- Comment on Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. 1 week ago:
Windows 11 displays as Windows 10 in a large number of places internally. It’s just a later revision than any of the “actually” Windows 10 ones.
- Comment on Durability of children 2 weeks ago:
Both with my daughter, but never goong quite as far as swinging her around by one limb. Just flopping her over my shoulder like she’s a sack of potatoes, then holding her ankles and dangling her upside down against my back. She loves it.
- Comment on My AI therapist got me through dark times 2 weeks ago:
Considering there have already been news stories of AI chatbots telling users to kill themselves and feeding into suicidal ideation, it is absolutely not a reliable fact that the AI will not cause further harm.

- Comment on Her hook job marks the spot 2 weeks ago:
Please do not use your “foot” for pegging play.
You just had to remind me of an ancient internet “shock” video where an amputee uses their ankle stump to “stump” the asshole of someone in a sex swing.
As prize, you get the knowledge that video exists.
- Comment on The part of the show, where Jack Black comes out, and sings a silly song 2 weeks ago:
Still can’t believe corporate meddling robbed us of the cinematic masterpiece it was meant to be. Apparently authentic Sweedish music was too exotic for American audiences.
Release the Joel cut you cowards!
- Comment on Heheheh my secret door of secret knowledge 3 weeks ago:
Colleges too. Ever wanted to hide behind the projector screen of a 300 seat lecture hall? None of the doors are locked. Found an old rotary telephone and a real film reel projector back there.
Had some wonderful desk chair races around the professor offices floor in one building at nearly midnight.

The tough part is when you no longer have that access after you’re used to it when you get a new job.
No! Don’t call security! I swear I worked here a decade ago, I’m just absentminded.
- Comment on Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected from 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s less likely this has anything to do with skill, and more likely this is a company looking for an excuse to cut a highly paid position.
- Comment on Day 297 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 3 weeks ago:
Just be careful. If a quest giver gives you a time limit, like a letter saying “get here in one month”, they mean it. It’s possible to silently fail the main quest this way, but it’s also possible to get back into the main quest line via some other quest paths into it.
It’s all fairly complicated. Thankfully failing doesn’t stop you from exploring the world, interacting with NPCs, or doing other quests. You can always use the console to restart the main quest line quests when you’re ready.

- Comment on Or a shrimp 4 weeks ago:
My wife and I used IVF, so our first picture of our daughter is a clump of cells (I think the term is blastocyst).
It looked like kind of potato shaped. She was dubbed our little spud by one of her uncles, and that stuck until maybe two months before birth.
- Comment on Prices are out of control 4 weeks ago:
Lol, clearly you haven’t been shopping at budget places in the US. The competition is Land O Lakes, “I can’t believe it’s not butter”, or store brand.
Where are you buying your butter, and what brand?
- Comment on Prices are out of control 4 weeks ago:
I’ve used it instead of maple syrup on pancakes while camping. I intended it to just end up as a shit joke at my own expense, fucking around for shits and giggles, but it was legitimately sweet enough to work. Which is honestly pretty disgusting.

Nice shitpost. Got me for a moment, then I remembered how math worked.
- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 4 weeks ago:
It would be a lot easier to engage with the subculture from the outside if the porn wasn’t so prevalent or up-front as it is/had been in the past, and if the weirdest/most socially maladjusted members of the culture didn’t tend to be the most attention grabbing (but that’s an issue with almost every group online though).
If you’re up for it, I’d love to be pointed at some good examples of the subculture outside of the fetish/kink stuff.
- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 4 weeks ago:
Unfortunately there is a bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation here. Put overly simply: If we start enforcing copyright in training AI models now, do you really believe that any companies who have already trained their models are really going to just toss them? I’m afraid that it’s going to just be regulatory capture where the existing big names just pull the ladder up behind them while still making money off of their stolen content fueled plagiarism machines.
We’ll ignore that OpenAI isn’t actually profitable for the sake of the argument.
That said, abolishing copyright is quite possibly the stupidest solution I’ve ever heard for this issue.

I think there’s a turn based mode you can enable from the options menu. I know there was one for 15.
- Comment on Anon missed /pol/ 5 weeks ago:
They’re already abducting and deporting academics on the flimsiest justifications based off social media posts disparaging Trump and/or Elon. We’re past the point that they need to label people something as heavy as gun nut to justify their actions.
- Comment on Anon missed /pol/ 5 weeks ago:
If you’re worried that posting more than “nuh uh” publicly would negatively impact your ability to take action, then you’re in a position where you aren’t safe posting anything about it. Not even your little “nuh uh”.
Either stop LARPing (because you aren’t part of any organizing), stop making yourself more vulnerable by posting shit like this (because you are part of something and being stupid posting this shit), or just save some time and turn yourself in because you’ve already fucked up.
I have too much to lose to do anything drastic, but you all would be well served to do some serious learning about how criminals and hackers get caught, and how to protect yourself with proper opsec.
