look, those boots aren't gonna lick themselves

but you are supposed to remove tumors, not give them their own section of the body

the bread knife is also really good for slicing tomatoes

hth

Seems about right.

Thing is, I actually like OW2's core gameplay more than OW1. I can't say it's necessarily better than OW1 would have been if they hadn't abandoned it for years to (fail to) build OW2's PVE, but so it goes.

But I reinstalled just to see if I'd want to try with the new Invasion content, and here's the thing:

I played about 5 rounds of QP. They were all horribly mismatched in terms of skill level, and I enjoyed 0 of them. So the idea of grinding through a new battle pass, although liking the RoboAna mythic skin, was a nonstarter even before talking about how crowded a launch season this is. Like even if I wanted to, I don't have time for this battle pass.

And then the new PvE content? I mean maybe it's good, but nothing about any of the PvE they've released in the past would support that. It's been consistently mediocre IMO, so I dunno why I'd suddenly want to pay for the privilege.

I'm annoyed that I have about 2000 coins I'm never going to use (love that I can't use them to buy the invasion bundle just to screw around with the new stuff), but I think it's time to give up and move on.

You also most likely don't get paid more for being more productive.

Seriously.

Someone pull out the productivity growth vs wage growth chart, let's point out why no worker should give the tiniest shit.

Appeal to authority isn't a fallacy if it's a relevant authority, though. The US federal courts are a pretty dang relevant authority on US federal crimes.

yes, this is cowabunga with me, fellow youths

the added context of the US map gives it some utility that a pie chart, which is just straight trash, does not have

a bar graph or even just a table would convey similar information more precisely and usefully, but if your only goal is to give an intuitive sense of the land use (not writing policy or anything here) it suits

cannot believe how many people are confused that the use blocks aren't showing use in that location, just size in relation to the size of the country

Absolutely. I don't think it's really sunk in generally that the Fediverse is intended to operate fundamentally differently from a centralized system. An instance selectively (de)federating is how it's supposed to work.

If the platform running as intended kills it, then there are big problems. I don't think it will, but the user culture does have to change and incorporate knowledge of how the system works. We need to not have threads saying the Fediverse, a platform built on decentralization, needs to centralize as much as possible to survive.

There seems to be quite a few folks here that basically want the Lemmyverse to be Reddit with new management
