The sheer gall required to condemn “yellow press” while pulling this naked manipulative baloney. “Oh yeah well your customers are like this, ‘Durrr! Duhhh!’ That’s what you sound like! Yes-huh!”
The smarm was less thick when Colbert opened a show with “Hey America, have you lost weight?”
A grammatical but boring sentence in Latin which is like eight different kinds of palindrome. It was the “cool S” of ancient Rome.
I got nerd-sniped by this a while back and tried finding any English equivalents, and long story short, there really aren’t any. It takes one palindromic word, two words which are also words when reversed, and some implications about matching letters between words. I just wrote a function that recognized when a fifteen-letter string matched the requirements (the latter ten letters being a reversal of the first ten) and trimmed down a dictionary.
The results still rely on a lot of… almost-words. Like “apart paler alala relap trapa.” Some of these are loanwords and some of these are nonsense. “Darts apart radar trapa strad” is closer. “Farad acara radar araca daraf” highlights two things: ACARA is an Australian agency, because my dictionary was a spellcheck file, and the daraf is a unit proposed by one guy who was explicitly spelling farad backwards, because us STEM types are all huge dorks.
What killed it, well after reviewing some PS4 gameplay I noticed that it was having audio issues, like it would allow some sounds but not all. It was almost as if it was receiving a 5.1 audio output but was missing the centre channel. Even though the PS4 was set to stereo....
Honestly, consider banning any reward besides cold hard cash. Pay people up-front and in full. If there’s residuals then they’re a percent gross and don’t say shit about employment.
If somebody did the work - give them the fucking money.
Complicated forms of theft should put white-collar scumbags in prison.
In 1997, Mindscape fired the entire Lego Island team the day before release. The team that just made a custom engine for their much-hyped and soon best-selling game that would garner sequels for years to come. The painfully obvious reason was the promise of giving people more money if the game did well.
Nothing has changed.
Unionize and fuck these corporations.
Even outside unions - pro-rate everything. No more hard cutoffs where some bastard can promise the world, get 99% of what they promised it for, and then give nothing.
The way Lemmy mods hand out bans, not for fucking long.
People wag a finger at me for vulgarity and bluntness. But I’ve found zero safety in being polite, casual, and relaxed. Most recently, one joke about The Bee Movie in a silly playlist screenshot community ended two bewildered interactions later, with the mod instructing me to “die mad.” To anyone innocent enough to insist this sort of thing can only happen if I’m underplaying some intolerable behavior on my part - I have abundant receipts. This has been a problem long enough (on the other site) that smoke without fire deserved documentation.
And the absolute worst spaces on modern social media are ones demanding “be nice” while doing nothing when some asshole spits the worst thing they can think of over nothing. I’m not about to be deeply offended by some childmove like opining about my family because I didn’t find an argument compelling. But I cannot fucking stand being held from so much as literally replying “yo mama,” for fear of punishment from some I-don’t-care-who-started-it troll-enabling goody-two-shoes, only to find out reports went fucking nowhere.
Mods! If I’m not allowed to call someone a bastard - YOU had goddamn well better get rid of those bastards. Enforce the rule or throw it out!
