And still some see the US constitution as this pinnacle of democracy when it’s vastly outdated by now

Even the founding fathers anticipated a lot of reforms and for the whole thing to become obsolete quite soon but yet here we are with people worshipping them as this infallible being and weighting their words on a scale as if it’s impossible for them to be wrong

What would swapping servers achieve?

SEO is wrong - it’s like an arms race where the shittiest party spending the most wins and every one else needs to play by the rules to even exist.

The world would be better off if noone did it in the first place and search engines could just do the job they intended to do.

Google totally went to shit in the last years with their first page often full of websites great at SEO but horrible in whatever you were actually looking for.

Meanwhile the little ultra-specific forum that had a thread years ago about your specific search and no money for SEO is somewhere on page 5 while websites just repeating the search phrase over and over with no answer in sight are at the top.

That whole industry can cease to exist from one day to the next and nothing of value would be lost - if anything value would be gained for the average person

The non visual novel parts (the investigations) are by far the weakest point imho. I always was extremely happy to be back in court

One of the biggest fake-meat producers in Germany was a very big, purely meat-production company 20 years ago

Now they make more money with replacements than with their meat-production just because people kept buying it.

If enough people vote with their money it totally has an effect

Also: politicians will only implement hard measures if a big part of the population is already undoubtedly behind them.

They won’t severely limit meat unless a big part is already vegetarian - they won’t ban short range flights unless most people are choosing trains and busses over them already.

They won’t take away space from cars to bikes unless people are already taking their bike and showing the problem to everyone

Sure the whole thing about personal responsibility and the co2 footprint is intended to discourage change - but unless we start a grassroots movement including personal responsibility change won’t happen, too

If Epic could actually provide a better service, they would be seeing customers and developers actually want to use their platform.

Doubt

Gog is objectively giving you more value for your money but even cdpr had to release the Gwent standalone on steam eventually because people didn’t buy it enough - once it was on steam it sold more than in a year on gog in weeks

People don’t look at the alternatives at all - unless it’s a AAA game with an exclusive deal

Steam is just perfect at keeping the gamers behind them as they are only assholes behind doors to the Devs on their platform.

30% is an absurd cut for a store that has such a monopoly that if you don’t release there your game is pretty much cancelled even if you release at your own store without DRM and with additional goodies (Looking at GOG and The Witcher - they released the Gwent standalone like a year later on steam because it didn’t sell at all on GOG and then it apparently outsold the GOG version without a week)

People are just too lazy and Steam is keeping them happy enough to not bother looking another way.

Epic isn’t a good guy in any case but the exclusive deals on AAA Games they do is probably the only way to get someone to buy the game there instead of Steam

Wtf - how is something like this still law and people are okay with it?

It really is ridiculous - I’m in the higher income bracket in my country but drive an almost 15 year old tiny car that uses less gas than most modern cars and people keep asking me if I only got my girlfriend’s car today if I show up with that…

Floorp is a nice Firefox fork with a similar mind of customisation as old opera or vivaldi

I mean half of them are obvious merges of Pokémon with assets copied one for one in some cases. Really wouldn’t be surprised at all of they used an AI for this

Or they still think they are entitled to a “free” search engine and don’t see the amount of resources needed for that and that it’s actually a service worth paying for, either through a subscription or through a donation-based service.

Switching one private company for another is definitely not the way to go…

I’d argue that kids are not fit for the stress put on people in service positions with customer contact. It’s fine if they have a holiday job cutting grass or delivering newspapers or something like that but standing behind a counter taking orders from people that often don’t even acknowledge that you’re human, too? That’s hard enough on adults already - I definitely don’t think it’s the kind of job for kids.

Also which business is hiring kids to work a couple of weeks during school holidays and then is fine having one less worker again? The time spent on teaching the child what to do and how to handle different situations as well as the paperwork probably takes more time and money than not having the help for a couple of weeks - even less so as you probably have to have another person nearby in case of customers overstepping so I’m not sure this is just some holiday job for the kid to earn pocket money or get job experience

The problem is that saying Israel has no right to exist and that the whole country should be Palestine is antisemitism though. And especially in the pro-gaza-crowd that line is often crossed.

Not to mention Lazio being known for having ultra groups that are borderline neo-nazi…

Isn’t Lazio known for their extremely far-right Ultras?

Might not be intentional from his side but he for sure knew that that would make his shirt popular in certain parts of the fanbase…
