What a weird bunch, to me these are 2 titans, 1 serial one-hit-wonder, and 1 guy whose humour is family guy cutaway gags.

Ah, yes. Their "We found space whales on Nimbus!" video (about speculative Zoology of alien worlds), which was later titled "What actual aliens might look like" was something I could excuse. I don't consider claiming the impossible click-bait, but seeing the controversy, it was best they changed it.

However, what I really hated was their ad for a "strange matter" vile/necklace (i forgor), not because they lied about it containing reality destroying elements, but because they did the "buy now because they'll never come back" trick. I consider manipulative sales tactics to be a greater sin than clickbait.

Not only is Gacha a bad game monetization from a consumers perspective, the moment it's implemented the game is shit, and you should be ashamed to play it.

I dont care about Genshin's cultural impact, Fortnite's mechanical depth or how hot the latest team fortress character is, you should always have the thought of supporting the indefensible in the back of your head while playing them and consider it a guilty pleasure. Meaning: keep your damn pulls to yourself!

And since I used to say it too: "You can absolutely play without paying money" isn't an argument when you need to pay with time instead, doing dailies is a chore, not leisure.

BMI works for me, skill issue :P

Isn't OP's whole point that you should complain, just not call it theft?

I believe discussion on this flares up now and then because it is an easy answer, tough decision.

If you make this decision for others: of course this is the most ethical thing to do, the data isn't ambiguous.

If you are yourself affected: Oof. Yes it might be better for society, but personally I value this and that, and I am but one and would rather wait on legislation before I do anything.

We love to argue it because one side thinks experiencing it taints your view, the other that only reading data misses the point. Can be about indoor cats, vegan diets or pineapple on pizza, the argument itself never matters.

As good as any reason to share this Tom Scott video again.

This issue people have with some fixed phrases is bizarre to me.

Might as well say "Actually, this 'morning' isn't 'good' at all!" and pretend you have a point. Really devalues anything following it by revealing the person saying it to be an obnoxious pedant.

But standing up for women's rights this way get's more retweets, which is the ultimate measure of success after all, so what do I know?

I can recognise the Font/lack thereof.

Get that AI slop out of my face before I block you.

Ah, I have heard the name of those before.

Egrets, right?

Like this?

Women have always been initiating, just (...) in a more indirect way.

Well, tell me those indirect ways!

Au contraire! As was sung, "I am the one thing in life I can't control" (Edit: Oof, how embarrising), spending effort on that is the waste. So just coming off as more approachable is the one path open to me.

Way to miss the question, I know that works for some but for me it's not going to happen. Unless you can tell me why I can't take the role that never needs to initiate I'm not interested into being psyched up.

Best way to get 20$ off is to buy the game 2nd hand.

That's basically what I've been saying ever since the switch 2 announcement, I'm glad I can just copy the Sources from this article to support my intuition. Thank you, Superjoost!

"Could you call me something else, other than Dipshit?"
"Like what?"
"How about sunrise land?"

There is a trading card shop here - in a village of 2500.

How?

Contrary to what you may believe, you don't have to envy these vegetables and can indeed take a shower yourself.
