It’s not necessarily a sign of status, people think the cosmetics look nice. Why must I suffer a worse experience just because you think it’s a waste of money? It’s an M rated game, kids shouldn’t be playing it in the first place

Yeah I guess my main point is all of this is fine and dandy and definitely works. But from a technical standpoint it’s just kinda stupid

I think on the whole you’re correct. However, Valve taking a cut of items bought on the market I would argue is actually a feature, because it gives them an incentive to work on the game. Players who invest lots of money and players who don’t both benefit from the arrangement. And if you don’t like it, you can trade in person and do bank transfers and stuff like that

Kids making fun of poorer kids for not having nicer cosmetics is absolutely nothing new… are we really going to pin the blame on this on the designer clothes brands, or the educational environment we are raising children?

I think people with nicer skins are more highly invested in the game both literally and figuratively, and thus are more likely to be better. I don’t think kill cams are the way valve is trying to convince you to buy skins.

And for your last point, yes that sucks but is that any worse than the default experience for literally every multiplayer video game on the market?

Now you have two ledgers, one of which isn’t distributed

It hinders the product. By controlling the ledger and being able to make changes, user submitted products are possible. Otherwise they wouldn’t be able to respond to DMCA in the case of accidentally accepting copyrighted material

Valve has already done this stuff in a way that makes far more sense. A lot of people lament CSGO’s skins (and yes they have some issues) but here are some points about them:

- Skins are purely cosmetic and tied to a competitive game that many people tie their life to. Cosmetics of differing expense make sense, the better players show off their personality in the expense and style of their cosmetics.

- Skins are tradeable on the steam market which itself is a ledger, no reason for it to be distributed.

- The best thing about skins is that after you buy them and you don’t want them anymore, you can resell them and recoup a portion of the money you spent, or in some cases even make profit.

- Additionally, because the ledger isn’t distributed, valve can actively change skins and fix mistakes to them. This allows for user submitted skins to even work, as they can respond to DMCA take downs

Israel is a US ally

I’d argue that’s the entire point of courts…

Lol, I don’t think the parent was suggesting that they can’t answer because the interviewer was only asking them in English, but rather they don’t know what the English phrase means precisely most of the time

I hate Roku. I bought a Roku tv and it started putting advertisements on the Home Screen.

So? Because you find something easy, the rest of the country is supposed to be okay with a large company lobbying for less QoL for them?

If the only thing you use computers for is processing financial transactions then that position is defendable

Super Mario bros is pretty fun

It’s also wrong. Bad documentation is worse than no documentation because bad documentation can be intentionally misleading

They’ll just publish the article again. I don’t see why that type of controversy would just go away.

You’re missing that this is in comparison to other tube sites. There is a direct comparison here between the moderation or porn hub and other websites, and the claim is that porn hubs moderation was worse. It’s fine to say that content moderation is hard, but it’s much harder to justify doing a crappy job in comparison to other content moderators, especially those in the same space as you.

According to the thread

> Which, to be clear, they kinda were. PornHub was notoriously bad among the tube sites for its reckless lack of content moderation and exploitation of the people whose videos ended up there. Because of the story, Visa and MasterCard both cut PornHub off.

This should be fairly easy to verify and would corroborate the thread

Freedom of speech means that you can express any opinion civilly in a public forum without being persecuted for such speech. It does not mean you won’t get fired for saying something racist, and importantly it means that there are restrictions on speech that are not opinions or expressed civilly, such as the famous “yelling fire in a crowded theater” example.

The “lie” (it’s not a lie, it’s just deceiving) is saying that it’s a four times increase. You could also say “6% increase”, but that sounds smaller

The percent of hospitalization increased from 1.8% to 7%, which is about four times. This is basically lying with statistics

If you say “there are two perspectives on reporting this fact”, what you really mean to say is “there are two things to report here”

KFC is only good in Japan for some reason.

This isn’t an especially helpful comment considering some people believe he’s trying to use the vaccine to microchip all of us or something like that

Cold water is just as effective as hot water for washing and will prevent your hands from drying out as easily

That is not necessarily true. Alcohol and tobacco are legal and there are massive restrictions on how they are aloud to be advertised. The point being made here is that not many people would by more of it if they felt that purchasing it was not going to put them in legal trouble. For example, how many people do you know that do whippets?

Ah, well regardless of the cause I’m happy with the results now!

I actually ran into this problem recently, and this engine doesn’t solve it. The show and tell comic doesn’t come up when I search “boggle” or “boggle your minds”

You can move a laptop away from sun light, but eventually a monitor will have some amount of glare, unless it is nowhere near a window
