Have there been any other times in the past 80 years that you think would have justified the use of an A-bomb, or are the only two instances where they *were* actually used against people the only two that could be justified? This. I don't think I have ever seen someone saying "well, bombing civilians is terrible, but it's better than the alternative". I don't think I have ever seen someone saying "The use of nukes would be justified in this case." except for the case of the only two nukes used in history. Then it's suddenly "necessary", "justified" or the "lesser evil". --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |
| Topic | Is sexual attraction to anime girls a sign of degeneracy? |
| Karovorak 02/08/24 3:45:59 AM #22 | It's just how it is.
Anime/Cartoon characters are very basic or even abstract. There is no flaw in them, and every detail that isn't there is just made up by your imagination as you want. There is no anime waifu with an ugly nose, because they have none. Same with anything else. The "degeneracy"(I don't like this word) happens when you lose your touch with reality itself. "That's cute" or "that's hot" is just how it is. Prestoff posted... There was a weird time on the internet where people would unironically put their anime waifu's in nazi uniforms.

| Topic | Microsoft changes the name of Xbox Game Pass to Microsoft Game Pass |
| Karovorak 02/08/24 3:33:05 AM #14 | Yeah, it's probably more a PC focus.
I can't see Sony letting them sell the game pass, and I can't see MS putting the stuff on the Switch. But what I can see is that MS is interlinking XBox and PC more and more, and is going to sell the hardware for this. Just close the gap completly, and make the Xbox less a console, and more like a gaming PC. Put something like the steam deck on top of it, and they cover as many bases they can, with as few seems between it as possible. No need for crossplay if there is no gap to cross (between Xbox/PC). EDIT: But what surprises me is that they seem to take a step away from the X-Box brand for their gaming focus, and put Microsoft itself at the front again. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

I heard about that. I can see that in fighters or racing games but for example Ocarina of Time whie it gives hints generally leaves you to figure damn near everything on your own. Games like dont have the arcade aspect to it. It's not only games that changed, it's the players too. In old school RPGs people were talking to everyone they could see. That's not the case today anymore, and if they do, they spam the A button to skip the text. Myself included. As a kid, more or less anyone in class had Pokemon Red or Blue, and everyone of us was able to get HM05 Flash even without guides or internet or whatever. "Random ass NPC at random ass location in the world gives you key item you may need" simply doesn't work that good anymore. EDIT: And to be fair, it's some really bad kind of fake difficulty. Getting lost because you didn't remember random NPC X68A, who gives you the hint that the assistant of the professor (random NPC B67H) waits for you at some house in somewhere somewhere isn't hard, but simply missable. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

Many people are sympathetic to the people who work in that industry. The same with how they are sympathetic to housekeepers, agents that have to work as front desk staff at resorts, etc. It's just people such as yourself who are a vocal minority who think its alright to go to great lengths to make everyone else miserable. You are the problem. No, paying a 15$ tip is not "going great lengths to make everyone else miserable". Stop assuming that everyone who tips less than you want is some human trash who harasses people for fun because they are pure evil. Only pays a 10% tip?

What the fuck are you smoking? Oh, yeah, Shurimon is great too, I actually forgot that one. How many episodes did this have an occurence? Halsemon and Aquilamon are okay. Sylphiemon is far, far, FAR away from goated. Sylphiemon and Shakkoumon are the main reason why I raised that point. They both can't compare to Paildramon at all, and I can't name a single partner digimon on ultra level that I think is worse than them. and Valkyriemon doesn't exist in the anime. And even if it did, it would not do anything cool at all either, because they are not Imperialdramon. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |
| Topic | Question for Digimon fans |
| Karovorak 02/07/24 4:24:48 AM #18 | Both are good, Tamers is better.
What I really dislike about 02 is how they made the main cast smaller, but still decided to focus on Davis as the obvious main guy even more. The role of T.K. and Kairi being the veterans get pushed away too soon too, and Yolei and Cody are even less relevant than the cast in Digimon Adventure 01 was. The evolutions outside of the Veemon/Wormmon lines really suck too. Only other cool partner digimon evolution there is Pegasusmon, maybe Digmon. Now I'm wondering why I still like it. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

You're basically just arguing against tips existing at this point, which is like near universal in this thread. Nothing about that justifies being a non-tipping asshole. So, while I abhor the whole "they'll spit in your food" nonsense some people spout, I hope you get horrible service befitting your refusal, if you practice what you preach. "Nothing about that justifies being a non-tipping asshole". That's the issue. First of all, it's not even about "non-tipping = asshole", it's already about "15$ tip = asshole". Last weekend I went out and paid a 9% tip. For some magical reason, this didn't made me an asshole at all. I don't have to fear the waiters to spit into my food the next time I visit them, and I don't have to expect them talking shit about me on instagramm or somewhere else either. And even if would tip less, there would be no "how am I supposed to pay my tuition?". Why? Simply because my tip is their bonus, not their freaking financial lifeline they have to depend upon. And for some reason, even with wages allowing them to make it without 20% tips, we still have restaurants doing well, we still can effort eating out regulary, and we have no such pressure on the customer to tip 20%. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. |

Ideally tipping wouldnt exist, but it does, so tip appropriately because the staff is not responsible for the system. The staff is responsible for the job they take. If I complain about my shitty job and shitty pay (it's fine), my customers would not give a shit either, everyone would tell me to look for another job. Especially everyone here on CE.

Well then change the nation. Is not tipping actually going to force employers to pay their employees a livable wage? Or is it essentially a useless form of protest? I'd stop tipping right now if I believed that would somehow directly lead to change. If paying a 15$ tip seems equals to "treating me like shit", then there is something beyond wrong.

You should shut the fuck up and never participate in society ever again. You can save all your money if you do that. Seriously, I can't get it in my head how people are still acting like this. There are literally people in this topic defending this, claiming it's the best for waiters, and calling others "gutter trash tier", when the issue is the US culture of exploiting their employees. This just another form of "'No way to prevent this,' says only nation where this regularly happens". When every single place has a much better and healthier tipping culture than the US, the problem are not 15$ tips being too low. Yes, we also have a tipping culture here.

Yall dat dont like tipping and think dat dey should get a living wage? I agree wit you. However if you dont tip 20%, you are denying dem a living wage, and are no better den da restaurant . Keep in mind dat if dey were to get a living wage, da cost of your food would increase by at least 20% And that's the issue. How tf should I know if their restaurant is paying a living wage or not? If the low wages are the reason for this, than they should come out and show on the menu how bad they pay their employees. Just going around and saying "well, the customer is supposed to voluntary pay a living wage" is just bs. Why should the customer be responsible for a living wage? All the cost and profit calculation is done by the restaurant.

I'm really hoping the developers go the route of adding other locations with coal and ore together, instead of nerfing the one spot that everyone with access to Youtube knows about and uses... I'm fine with nerfing this one spot, since it's a extreme one. If they tune it down to 3 chunks coal / 3 chunks of iron, and add some others stuff too else (maybe even a spot with 1 coal, 1 stone, 1 sulfur, 1 iron), I would be fine.
