  • Ah, the racist Frankenstein's monster has worshippers everywhere

    When you accuse some of racism and then proceed to judge them based on how they look it makes you look no better. Maybe be a good way to have conversation is to not make yourself look like an ass.

    He held a black jogger at gunpoint because he fit the description.

    How is it racist? Wouldn't it be racist if he didn't fit the description? I don't really have context on what happened, but from what you said there's nothing seemingly racist about it.

  • their database is built incredibly poorly (what idiot decided that different seasons of one TV show should have entirely separate listings in the database, often making it hard to find?!).

    Likely this is legacy from when you would buy each season as a DVD set

  • I'm curious what features that Calibre was missing for reading that you are looking for specifically? I know that it's got some pretty standard features built in, though I've never used it to read, only to check files before sending to eReader.

  • So if Microsoft published a Unity developed game on Windows, Microsoft could easily charge a $0.20 free to the unity team for installing the Unity Runtime on their OS.

    Not being completely serious there. Honestly thought, did the CEO not realize if they start doing this, what's to stop another company from doing that to them. Things like mp3, where developers need to pay a license for, could then be charged in a similar fashion for each install.

  • The problem here. Is that they've already started working on DLCs before the game has even launched. You don't see a problem with that from a consumer standpoint?

    Sort of a complicated scenario. Where do you draw the line for it being anti consumer? Say the people on the dev team who do: concept art, writing, modeling, etc. What should they be doing. At this stage most of the development going into the game is very final touches (if that) and bug squashing. I don't think it's out of line for those people to be working on future content. Seems a bit strange to hold them until the release date. It definitely is a tough line to find though, and can change depending on the context of when and how the dlc development started.

  • read the menu instead of looking at the advertisements

    The issue is most fast food restaurants use the advertisement photos on the menu. Sorta leads the customer to believe that's what they are getting (with some tolerance).

  • That's true but you have to consider how much of the car market is made up of used cars. When I was last shopping for cars (4 years ago) there were hardly any EVs in my budget and the ones that were, were 10 year old Priuses. Most people frankly don't have the income to buy anything more than a gas car. (Market for EVs may have changed since my experience). The way I see it is the CEO is making a good point while also shitting on poor people.

  • It's something my friends and I like to do together, still sitting by the fire and enjoying being out in nature. I think having a movie that is in nature feels a lot better, something like Blair Witch. Curious how would something like reading fit into that then? I also enjoy reading while relaxing in the woods, and that seems pretty normal despite sorta taking you out of the camping/nature.

  • That's fair, to each their own. Definitely the one thing we are okay with taking with us since we're all film nerds. I think using a little projector helps distance you from that feeling a bit too. I've watched stuff on a laptop and it just feels the same as laying in bed with your laptop. The projector gives more of a drive-in theater vibe.

  • Oh of course. Sadly I went to a Speedway to get Faygo because it says they sell it, but they didn't have it. Can't imagine how much more of an experience it would have been with some Rock n Rye

  • The staff are poorly trained? They should just never give the customer raw chicken. There are consumer protection laws to prevent this type of thing regardless of what the customer is wanting. The AI is still providing a recipe. What if someone asks an AI for a bomb recipe, and it says that bombs are dangerous and not safe. Ok, then they'll say the bomb is for clearing out my yard of weeds, and then the ai provides the user with a bomb recipe.

  • I've got a 4a (bought on release) and it has been my favorite phone. Not a huge power user so it's a good small device that has the features I want (fingerprint, 3.5 Jack). My biggest gripe is something I think Google changed sometime before the 4a, and that's their is no HDMI over USB possible with Pixel devices. From what I can tell the only reason they did this was to sell Chromecasts. The main issue is I watch horror movies on a projector with some friends while camping(no Wi-Fi or data so Chromecast doesn't work). The software on the projector has poor support for different codecs so ideally I'd use VLC on my phone and have no issue, but I cant. Pretty niche scenario there but I think it's a sign of how modern phones have slowly been taking away useful features for seemingly no reason. Makes me not want to get a Google phone again.
