  • I don’t share your opinion on this matter, so I don’t know of one off the top of my head, and my quick search yielded no results.

    Normally I’d say “Be the change you want to see.” and encourage you to create a community for it yourself. However, you should probably ask yourself first, whether a community dedicated to hating something is even worth having, and then ask yourself if it is worth moderating. I can’t imagine you’d have any real great conversations when it’s all going to just be “x sucks” you’d basically just end up with the same post over and over again.


  • Nah, that’s just toxic corporate stuff.

    It’s the same thing a lot of companies’ subscriptions do where they give you something extra over time so that they can take it away if you ever decide to try testing out another service. Normally it is something small though, like something decorative or just something saying that you’ve been a member for a long time, so at least they’re giving you something useful for them to take away later, or maybe that makes it worse, I dunno~


  • Well, a little bit of ‘yes’ and a little bit of ‘no’.

    If it is possible over the course of the game for turn orders to be changed, or for a player to choose to draw a card, or cause another player to draw a card, then it matters in a way.

    If I can cause actions to make another player draw a card, then it is more meaningful if the deck is shuffled already, because the card that I caused the player to draw is the same as the card I would have drawn if I drawn a card instead. However, from the perspective of the user, there is no way for them to know the difference.

    I feel like it is better for the integrity of the game if the deck is shuffled for real, though. Because if ever a user finds out that it doesn’t work how it is expected, then it cheapens the experience in a way. Kind of like how the old Mario Party games determined the outcome of dice rolls when the die appeared on screen instead of when you pressed the button to ‘roll’ them.


  • There are a few inaccuracies in your statement, but It was clear the whole thing was about money from the start though, you shouldn’t be surprised about this. If you were hoping for AI to be free to you, you should have only been supportive of software that you could run on your own hardware.

    Anyway, these companies are in the position of ISPs now, where they have customers, but they don’t want to pay for the infrastructure to support the amount of customers that they have, since they can make the same amount of money without making their customers happy.

    None of that helps you… Sorry…

    Welcome to episode 1 of Black mirror reality TV series!

    Well, have fun with your pig, I guess. Haha.


  • Michelle Obama would have lost for sure. Remember, she’s the one who all the kiddos were blaming for having their school lunches ruined forever. And whenever kids ask why their school lunches suck today, they still get the response, “It was Michelle Obama’s fault”.

    Obama was elected sixteen years ago, so anyone who was in school at all at that time can vote now, so we have nearly 20 years of voters who will hate this person for ruining their lunches when they were children. It would never work out and would have been a really poor choice to run her, since Dems typically require the younger vote.




  • I mean, the primary benefit of fast food is that you can swing by and get a prepared meal on your lunch break. You can’t really do that at a sit down place unless you order in advance. They lost the ‘fast’ part too, since they don’t want to pay the amount of people it takes to run their stores though. Now the only benefit they have going for them is their hours, and they’re slipping there for the most part, since most places are still running on reduced hours because COVID gave them the excuse to never bring their old hours back.


  • I will never forgive Jersey Mike’s.

    A few years back they stole some much more valuable fast food places from me, and replaced it with Great Value Subway. I was pretty upset, because I could just go to get Subway down the road, since there are like 2 billion Subways, and then Mr. Mike rolls up and is like “Let’s make 2 billion more Subways.” I don’t really want one Subway, so in what world would I ever want two? Give me an A&W or a Long John Silvers or something. Or maybe an A&W/Long John Silvers.
