Thats literally what i said, if youre gonna order, order from ubereats or doordash where they can refuse to take orders, so if someone is working they must be really desperate and unable to go without the income. At least theyre making the choice for themselves. Dont order from a pizza place because although they might still have to work, they’ll at least be making a wage if theres no orders and just get to kick back. I personally barely order delivery anyway.

Not to say that youre wrong, or to imply that ‘woke’ is a real concept beyond whatever makes fascist chuds feel bad in their undeveloped brains, but being anti-racist is a lot different than being not racist, and takes a lot more courage.
- Comment on Contributing to the local economy 16 hours ago:
Well they’d be in just as bad a situation if no one ordered at all for a week. Theyre without income either way. I honestly think its better for doordash and ubereats drivers if people still order in poor weather. Pizza places on the other hand where the driver may at least be making some sort of flat rate, they may just prefer to sit there all shift with no orders.

I mean theres nothing that unsafe about the roads in the picture. Thats like regular for a lot of places and people don’t just stop living. I worked as a delivery driver and had to drive in way worse conditions, whats shown wouldnt even have registered as a hazard at all.

Breath of the wild was basically empty. There were very few interactive objects and the puzzles were almost entirely locked inside the shrines and were incredibly straightforward.

Although considered informal, anyways is not wrong. In fact, there is much precedent in English for the adverbial -s suffix, which was common in Old and Middle English and survives today in words such as towards, once, always, and unawares. But while these words survive from a period of English in which the adverbial -s was common, anyways is a modern construction (though it is now several centuries old).
- Comment on DeckSight: OLED mod for the LCD Steam Deck 1 week ago:
I dont get the hate for the lcd at all. I never have my brightness maxed out. I guess if youre like obsessed with HDR or something, but otherwise im perfectly happy with the lower price of the lcs, especially since i got it on sale when the OLED first released.

In VLC theres also a setting to increase/decrease the subtitle delay. Theres a set of hotkeys to move it up/down by 50ms at a time, or you can go into the settings and enter a custom valur. Sometimes this doesnt work for a whole movie as the subtitles will just keep getting more and more out of sync, but if theyre just behind or ahead by a little bit consistently, then its a huge sanity saver.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 3 weeks ago:
The conspiracist in me wonders if this is intentional as the result of a deal with other publishers. Maybe its just that ‘the devs didnt get around to it’ but honestly with how simple it should be to release things on GOG i more wonder if it isnt suppression.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 3 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s fair, and im not defending the practice, it just made me think of some games that Ive seen that have multiple executables, usually with an inbuilt launcher that i have to bypass. Or when games used to come with a dx11 and dx12 executable. Personally i find that in itself super sloppy and annoying as well, but it makes a kind of lazy sense to just apply it to all the game files, in that its just one less thing to have to change if you make an alteration to the name of the executable file or add a new executable for whatever reason. Just one less possible failure point. But yeah I can see how its definitely not best practice.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 3 weeks ago:
No im saying theres no such thing as a “GOG” version afaik. Its just the game files. What features differentiate a ‘GOG’ version from the same game acquired anywhere else? Their whole business model is offering games without any DRM or storefront added features, you dont even need to use their launcher, you can just download the game files directly. Whereas ‘Steam’ versions have all sorts of code added to be compatible with Steam.

What exactly is the distinction between acting tactically and strategically? This doesnt even make sense.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 3 weeks ago:
I mean i assume thats just easier to deal with updates where a game has multiple exe files that may or may not change names. Assuming everything in the directory is assumed to be safe, is there any downside to applying it to everything, aside from opening up the possibility of a user accidentally trying to execute like a texture file or something which I assume just wouldnt work? I actually don’t know and im curious.

How would a game “not work” on GOG? isnt their whole thing that they give you just the game files with no DRM or whatever?

- Comment on And there was no on line manual 5 weeks ago:
I mean back when youtube loaded quickly and wasn’t chock full of spammy ads and self promotion, this was a lot more convenient for a lot of things than trying to find a text tutorial (with good pictures if you were lucky). Some things id definitely rather have the instructions there on the page where i can refer back and check them, but for a lot of quick tasks it was way simpler to just search on youtube and watch a 30 second video of someone doing it. These days that 30 second video would be 10+ minutes with multiple ads and sponsor call outs though.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 5 weeks ago:
Except this logic only works if only a small percentage of homes are owned by landlords, but thats not the case because of the financial incentive. Say there are 100 people living in an area. Maybe 10 of them would prefer short term housing for whatever reason and dont want to own a house. 40 of them would love to own a house but cant, because 50 people all own 2 houses each. Now those 50 people can claim theyre ‘providing a aervice’ by making sure theres short term housing for those 10, but the people being forced to pay rent and never building equity aren’t going to see it that way. Our society has many more people that would love to own a home than it does people who prefer to rent

A shopping mall is absolutely not a public space, and if youre shouting slurs into a megaphone, or even just harassing random shoppers with your crazy beliefs, you are definitely going to be dragged out by security. And or/have the cops come to remobe you. I hope you understand how badly you just disproved your own point.

Lmao the subway complaint is the dumbest thing ive ever read. The subway was added to the game and it was the most boring shit ever, why would you want to have to walk into a train system and watch a non skippable cutscene just to be able to travel somewhere. Talk about a stupid feature that somehow got latched onto by thousands of bitter basement dwellers who will never be satisfied.
