The trend of every thing and service having its own app, and pushing all this shit to phones and away from computers and websites..

And the reason that everyone and their mother pushes you to use apps, is because the amount of information they can harvest and tracking they can do far exceeds what they could ever hope to collect with a stand alone browser with its pesky privacy controls and security.. and everyone gleefully gives these apps every permission they ask for, even though they should never require access to 95% of it to function, because they cant let anything get in the way of getting their immediate gratification.

I dont know where this person got their numbers, but the prices are WAAAAAAYYYYY off.

I had a relative need an Ambulance ride next year. less than 1/4th a mile to the hospital. the cost was over 5000 dollars.

last time I went to the emergency room, I got nothing but a chewable asprin, a bag of saline, a basic blood test and chest xrays and it was almost 40 grand.. and that was with the "filthy uninsured peasant" discount, which I know thats what the charts focused on, but its ridiculous how much more expensive it is with insurance, even if you dont see the cost to your wallet.

If anything, They would send their people out to blacklisted houses more readily than anywhere else.

Cause the whole reason they go door to door is to expose the young members to the "hostility" of the world outside their religion, its also why they tend to have them go out so early on weekends to do it.. to try and farm maximum annoyance, so that they are less likely to leave it and turn ever inward towards their religion, instead of outward to the regular world since the outer world is so hostile and hateful towards them, as manufactured.. Its all psyops and manipulation.

Finding the rare gullible fool to exploit/manipulate into joining by doing the door to door thing is just an added bonus, not the root reason for it.

You sound an awful lot like an abused spouse

"Oh sure, All those other times were bad, but she swore she wont hit me this time.. and she means it this time, honest!"

or radon detector, depending on where you are and what your regional risks are.

See, the real trick amazon does is that no one is ever without a drink.

because if the water goes out, the workers can just pick up the piss bottles from the previous shift who had to piss in the aisle since they arent allowed to go to the bathroom.

Just imagine how many pissy fingerprints and straight piss might be on those packages your getting, having plenty of time to dry between boxing and delivery.

Nope, much like politicians its just hot air and waste products serving no useful purpose.

So many posts here are examples of why robust sexual education is a dire necessity, lol.

Anyone that actually puts their trust in this deserves whatever happens to them

And this is where I'm reminded that the UK, thanks to not being bound by EU regulations after brexit, started dumping raw, untreated sewage into the ocean.. which immediately washed up on tons of beaches and forced them all to close.

So its Hamachi?

I'm seeing several posts that are startling evidence for the essential nature of proper sex education, lol.

Tangentially related.. The creation of the blue LED was so revolutionary, and took so much effort and science to make, that the guy who discovered how to make blue LEDs got a nobel prize.

There has never been a bigger argument for the essential need for proper sex education.

Very robust because they have 300 years of research, innovation, materials science and manufacturing in them. Making them incredibly stellar, well understood, damn near perfect technology for what they do.

Its not a struggle to read the quest text and find a location on your own volition.

If thats a struggle, then you should be playing games that don't require reading.

Just to wheel things back onto the road.

I was never asking for fully procedurally generated dungeons.

I just said randomize chest locations and door locks. It cant be that hard for a company that has been using the same game engine for almost 22 years to implement a node system to roll a spawn chance for a chest, or a door to be locked or not (with a higher chance of node spawns behind locked doors).

Hell, they could have even gone the lazy way and just copy and pasted the PoI a few times and manually changed the cosmetics/appearances.

With space and prefab buildings, they have the ultimate excuse for why every dungeon is identical (at least until you get into the underground caves..), but not every one of them should have the same dead body inthe same location in the same shower, the same succulent on the same shelf. move the body to a different location! Have a chance for a cluster of books to spawn instead of the succulent! Its a prefabricated hab structure, but that doesnt mean they come with such strict instructions as "Only succulent A on this shelf"

You know someone is gonna make a mod that generates random and unique bases from hab complex assets.

And thats exactly why Bethesda doesnt put the effort in. cause they make the game, then the modders make it good for free.. Or it used to be that, now they want to charge for mods and take a cut of the profits for shit they didnt make.

They could at least make the random PoI's interesting if there was some..randomness to them.

Like, I walk into a PoI, I already know where the chests are, the locked doors, are, where the stupid fucking corpse in the shower is, etc etc. cause I've ran through this PoI 20 times.

I dont know why at least the locations of chests and locked doors cant be randomized. Make things at least marginally interesting, instead of cookie cuttered to extreme.
