I remember studying this (the illness, not the show) in psychology. Something like wernickes aphasisa? Or maybe brochas aphasisa?
Your brain fails to process like the left half of what it’s seeing, so they draw clocks only showing the left half with so the numbers there.
He basically disappeared because there was video of him abusing his wife who then divorced him. He is obviously a piece of shit from all of his “work”, but in case anyone thought it was all an act for the grift… He’s also a piece of shit irl.
I guess adding lead to it would change it.
I’m summarising, but I bet it went along the lines of
You know… Real sick shit
This is the thing, everyone is different. What is difficult for some, will be easy for others, and it will even flip for the same people on different games.
The best option is having a wide array of difficulty options. In stone games I get bored of it’s too easy, in others I get bored of it’s too hard.
I tend to err on ‘normal’ to ‘slightly more difficult than normal’. But some games I don’t want difficulty at all because I’m there for the ride.
Yes it is flawed, but it was basically “give the 5 largest powers veto power, or they don’t participate”. If they don’t participate, it would be even more ornamental than it currently is.
Ideally they would have more power to stop shit like this, but the UN as it stands is better than nothing. They do bring countries together to talk things through that otherwise might not have and have successfully de-escilated issues in the past.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t expect, or push for, better, and I’m not saying this is your view point, but I do see the sentiment that they’re useless/do nothing quite often.
Walking out won’t ultimately achieve much… But it’s at least better than sitting their and letting him feel validated in his psychopathic plans.
Which is kind of the point. I think after TBC each expansion got more and more homogeneous
“I should be able to dual weild two handers, interrupt spells, cc an entire screen, do full dps at range, and heal myself to full immediately, because another class can do one of those things each”
Actually it has some factual basis. He’s wealthy, it would be bad for him, he thinks he’s the economy. He just has a big, selfish, ego.
Probably depends on the type of company you work in. If it’s a long established one with lots of staff, they’ve probably realised this issue a long time ago and put plans in for it.
If it’s a more modern one that hired a bunch of solid old heads early on, they probably know better from the outset.
In both cases, someone, somewhere will have probably experienced it and said “never again”, so implemented (or improved) release procedures to ensure it doesn’t happen again
A lot of my teams have been on the younger side and for small companies/startups. So everyone either had a recent example to pull from or had first have experience
I think most people have done, or been part of a team that did, something similar.
At least most of the engineers I’ve worked with have had similar stories from their past
I used to watch her when, as far as I knew, all she talked about was science (mainly physics) news. You know, talking about the thing she actually studied in.
Then one day she did a “capitalism is actually great” video, and spouted a bunch of erroneous neo-lib bullshit. Thankfully most of the comments tore into her, pointing out the logical falacies and out right lies she was parroting.
I only watched a few more vids after that as she seemed to get more and more out of her area of knowledge and saying dumb shit.
I had no idea about the anti trans stuff though. I’d just stopped watching and written her off as the Nth person to be smart in one area and try and apply that to other areas where they have no expertise but think they know more about it than anyone else.
So yeah, fuck her
It’s better to think of it more like a virtue signalling club. It’s the epitome of in vs out group.
It doesn’t matter what your group beleives/say, but when someone in your group beleives or say something you’ve gotta do it +1. So they’re all trying to one up each other to be like “see I’m not one of them, I’m one of you… No actually, I’m more like you than you”
It’s actually, unfortunately, a very common/normal social group interaction. Like, everyone does it, but normally in small amounts, or about harmless topics.
E.g a bunch of metal heads talking about metal bands (which coincidentally all have death in the name) "I really like ‘mega death’ ", “yeah but they’re not as heavy as ‘death’”, “well they’ve got nothing on ‘napalm death’” etc.
It’s the actual terrifying result of online echo chambers. More extreme people egg each other on and get more extreme. And it’s ironically what they always accuse “the left/libs” of doing
I don’t know how universal it is, but movie tickets here have at least tripled since I was a kid, 20 odd years ago.
Meanwhile, me and 4 friends pooled our pocket money together to buy a video game that we could barely afford. Brand new video games are the same price now.
I’m not saying “they should increase their price”, but it is wild how somehow they haven’t in decades
Wait, some devs get to choose what they work on?
I do wonder how much they soft delete stuff, so they can keep the data to sell. Also if they keto a history, do even if you manually delete/edit, do they have a copy on a server somewhere?
I do wonder how long they’ll let old.reddit.com stay. I assume they don’t want it but are worried about the backlash
Usually games as a service, they’ll release a large patch or expansion that makes significant, unpopular, changes. So lots of long time fans will review bomb it, in a good way, to show their displeasure.
It’s sometimes works too.
I haven’t read the book but in the video he reads excerpts from it and it sounds painful.
He could just be picking a couple of cases that are paticularly egregious, but still, if it’s emblomatic of the books prose, then it sounds like it’s very similar to the movie and not something I’d enjoy.
So said and done, if you enjoyed it, that’s dope, same for the movie. I don’t care how “bad” or “good” some form of media is claimed to be, as long as people enjoy it, that’s a good thing
