New! From Google! "Enhanced" ad privacy!
I've never, not once in my life, saw an ad which managed to make me buy something.
It doesn't matter what it's selling. The fact that it's disrupting whatever I'm doing or making my experience worst makes me refuse to buy whatever it's selling, and it doesn't matter how personalized it'll get. I will never be influenced to buy something just because I saw it on an ad.
This feature will literally do nothing for me. I'll still block ads, or if they are unblockable for any reason, I'll just ignore them until they're done.

Ohio teen dubbed 'hell on wheels' after killing her boyfriend and his friend in a crash is sentenced to 15 years to life

This is how you know that being rich sets you up for life. It doesn't matter what they'll do - it'll end up a slap on the wrist at best. The system is unjust and corrupt.

The Unity Games That Could be Impacted Most by Controversial Fees, From Silksong to Cult of the Lamb - IGN
Reply in thread
Honestly I don't see most of the indie companies keep working with Unity unless they have no choice. Even if they roll it back, who's to say that they won't do that again next year?
The fact that they count you retroactively for eligibility means they want to try and rake as much money as possible.

What UI design trend do you hate the most?
Mostly on phones: On/Off settings that have vague names and no description at all. I don't know what is Multi Layered Scrolling is and I'm not going to research it. It stays off until it is explained right where the setting is.
Websites and apps: I HATE a confirmation menu that has a "OK" and "Cancel" type buttons where the one they want you to click is bigger, more emphasized, better colored and attractive than the other. This is common when you want to quit a game - the "Actually no I want to keep playing" button is usually highlighted and bigger while the quit button is ugly, in red, in the corner.

Shouting at children can be as damaging as physical or sexual abuse, study says
Reply in thread
I am 32. I love my dad, he did his best. He was a good dad.
But I will probably never be able to forgive him for the times he shouted and yelled at me when I wasn't a good kid. He went into fits of rage over mundane things like homework and failing school. I remember everything he said in those fits of rage. Every instance of it. And I definitely remember feeling terrified.
And will remember it until the day I die.
Even at 70 years old.

I always wondered if there were people oblivious to porn on reddit. It always seemed like common knowledge those days.
It's not the usual manufactured porn by companies, it's usually people showcasing a video of themselves.

Bodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police
Reply in thread
That is why we banned abortion, no? Because we care about babies?
No, we banned abortion to keep controlling women and make sure they keep their head low and their financial situation lower. And it works so well that they have to shoplift, in which case we can justify killing them. Mission accomplished!
Honestly, fuck humanity.

I love the notion that you get notified for being hacked, and that you have anti-hacking counter measures that need to be manually activated to take effect.

Funnily enough, the third wish is actually one of the most positive things that can happen here.
Now people will fuck each other all day without having to worry about getting pregnant. No pills, no implants, no hormone. It's just good ol' pleasure now.

Honestly, I figured that they collected data. But I didn't think the extent of it would be stuff like my sex life and genetic data. How the hell do those work?

Woman accused of faking symptoms of debilitating illness dies aged 33
Reply in thread
I guarantee any fat man in the world can walk into an ER with chest pains, and they’d check his heart, not put him on a diet.
This is anecdotal, but my dad who is a very fat person (180 kg) has been told by a variety of doctors that his chest pains are because he is fat. He should lose the fat and the pain would disappear. No screenings done, for years. They usually just gave him some generic painkillers and told him to lose weight and sent him home.
At some point the pain intensifies heavily and he had an heart attack. In the ER they stabilized him, blamed it on him being fat again and let him go again.
My dad decided enough was enough, and sought out private clinics. It turns out he had a rip somewhere in his chest that created cysts - or something - I was 6 years old at the time and never really understood what it actually was - which had nothing to do with him being fat. They put him in a surgery, fixed that and he was good as new. Still fat to this day, but has pains mostly from being old.
I think the bias against fat people is cross gender, unfortunately.
EDIT: spelling.

What we do is, we decide who leads - usually it the one who knows the recipe at heart.
The leader assigns tasks and the other does them. Can be stuff like cutting onions, making a sauce and so on. Then the other gets his own corner where they simply do tasks.
We put music we both like as well.

Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem
Reply in thread
Where I live, I have to calculate (and show the process of calculation) the cheapest cost of getting to and back from work from my house. My boss simply pays me that much each workday. If I move, I have to do this calculation again. It doesn't matter how long it takes me to get to work (i.e. I'm not "on the clock"), they are simply imbursing me for that part.
Ironically, sometimes moving further away is both cheaper and faster.

Same. I do game, just games like Terraria aren't my taste, but I'll still buy the game on my accounts to show my support to them.

Are you cancelling streaming services?
My wife and I decided we'll only have one streaming service at a time. Currently it's Disney Plus. We recently stopped Disney Plus in favor of Netflix due to the One Piece live action series. After it was done, we stopped Netflix and took Disney Plus again.
We don't have that much time to watch stuff anyway, so we figured we might be focusing on just a single library.

Larian knows Baldur's Gate 3's D&D combat is super complicated: "We used to joke you basically need a tutorial for every class"
Reply in thread
I would assume that it helps casual players by removing confusing options ans reducing choice paralysis. There's already a lot to choose and think about with one class - multi classing makes it even more complex and scary.

Remember Blizzard when they released Warcraft 3 Reforged? "We're sorry you didn't get the experienced you thought you deserved". Gold mine, that one. It wasn't phrased like that exactly but that was what they meant.

The issue is that you're looking at it from a common sense view. They don't share it. They just decided this is what they believe in, and will oppose anything else. It doesn't have to make sense for them.
