ImplyingImplications,

My local force recently bought a used armoured personnel carrier (APC) for $100,000 which didn’t go over well with the community. They posted a message explaining they were coming up on fiscal year end and had excess budget they wanted to use up so their budget wouldn’t be reduced next year. That didn’t really help.

It’s mostly used to park next to public events. Arts in the Park? Don’t worry! We got an APC here to protect you! Weekly farmers market? Don’t worry! The APC is here! Sometimes the emergency response team (our version of swat) will also put out a table with all their rifles and gear so they can look cool in front of any teenagers in attendance. It’s weird.

I was a funeral director. People rarely provide their own caskets even if they have the legal right to. Nobody wants to manage the purchase and delivery of an expensive product right after their loved one has died. Funeral homes will also make it difficult by requiring delivery at certain times, inspection by the purchaser at time of delivery, and requiring the purchaser also get liability insurance on the casket.

It comes from a Facebook meme page called “The Ghost of Ol Dale Earnhardt”. The creator said he was frustrated with alt-right people posting fake quotes on pictures of Southerners that made them seem like facists, so he decided to post fake quotes on a Southerner that make him seem like a communist.

I find it weird, but Americans love claiming that dead people support their cause. Like how Martin Luther King is both a progressive and conservative icon depending on who you ask. Same with the founding fathers.

ImplyingImplications,

This is how you say it in French. “Un Pantalon”

ImplyingImplications,

Ah, 1928. I wonder if they ever figured out why boys are so retarded.

ImplyingImplications,

There are thousands of sci-fi novels where sentient robots are treated terribly by humans and apparently the people at Boston Dynamics have read absolutely zero of them as they spend all day finding new ways to torment their creations.

ImplyingImplications,

I think you’re talking about SSSniperWolf and JacksFilms. It’s particularly interesting because it’s not just two people arguing. SSSniperWolf very clearly violated YouTube TOS as well as possibly California law. YouTube’s response essentially protected her because she’s YouTube royalty, pulling in 1 million+ views on all her videos, which are all her “reacting” to tiktok videos.

It’s beyond “drama”. It’s a giant tech/media company playing favourites with creators who break not only TOS, but copyright law, and US law. It shows they’ll look the other way over any infraction so long as you make them enough money.

The business in this case being what? What good or service is being provided? Landlords didn’t create the land, nor did they build the residence, nor did they improve its value by building a community around it. They are benefiting off of the work of others simply because they “own” it. The most common arguments I hear in support of landlords are:

  1. Landlords take care of maintenance. Maintenance costs don’t increase 20% a year. If rent was simply maintenance costs it would be a fraction of what it currently is
  2. Landlords allow people who cannot afford a home a place to stay. Why do you think they can’t afford a home? It’s like saying without scalpers people wouldn’t be able to see concerts because the tickets are instantly purchased by bots.
ImplyingImplications,

Great, another good job taken by robots!

ImplyingImplications,

Absolutely! It’s called “masking” and its incredibly common for people who aren’t neurotypical because they’ll be bullied otherwise.

ImplyingImplications,

You can tell because it suggests Linux isn’t for gamers but Valve has its own game console that runs on Linux. It’d be pretty stupid if a game console couldn’t run games.

ImplyingImplications,

I’ve never worked on this stuff but I’ve looked it up before. Essentially, theatres get a DCP but it’s unplayable without a Key Delivery Message (KDM).

My understanding is that theatres order these and pay a fee for each one. The KDM is only valid to unlock a specific DCP, on a specific projector, on a specific date and time. It won’t work if any of these checks are off meaning you can’t check that it works until the theatre is filled with patrons who paid to see your movie, as the KDM will only decrypt the movie seconds before playtime. If there’s some glitch, a theatre manager needs to call a hotline for a new KDM.

It’s like mandating all cars need to have an ignition interlock because some people drive drunk.

ImplyingImplications,

This perfectly describes Japan. The nation of advanced robotics and businesses that still communicate by fax.

ImplyingImplications,

Starcraft II Dev explains a horse microtransaction im World of Warcraft, that took one person a few days to make, made Blizzard more money than StarCraft II, which took an entire team 2 years to develop. Capitalism ensures major studios will never make a good game. Games are now only a pretense to sell microtransactions that cost the company nothing to produce but sell for millions.

I always just assumed they’re like magical spells and shouting the name is a requirement to cast them

Why pay for video games when

  1. Lots of free video games exist, and
  2. The paid video games can be pirated

The answers are;

  1. The free games and the paid games are not identical. There are differences between Genshin Impact and Breath of the Wild. However, both games are great, and both have their own userbase.
  2. If the game price is reasonable, it is more convenient to buy the game than pirate it.

You can swap video games with literally any digital product, including porn.

ImplyingImplications,

Fun fact: In Japan you say your hobby is sleeping instead of saying you don’t have a hobby

ImplyingImplications,

It feels like sucking a dick…from what I’ve heard, anyways.
