Topic | In Ocarina of Time, do you do the Spirit Temple first or Shadow? |
Compsognathus 05/09/24 1:23:15 PM #20 | Shadow feels a lot more natural to do before Spirit because you are always running by Kakario Village for one reason or another whereas the Gerudos are quite out of the way. Like unless you are doing the Biggoron Sword quest there is basically no reason to head that way besides curiosity.

Topic | Boy Scouts of America is dead |
Compsognathus 05/07/24 3:31:26 PM #44 | The comments are blaming the woke but this change is 100% free-market capitalism. Fact of the matter is Boy Scouts have grown less and less relevant throughout the years and membership has been in decline along with it. They weren't flourishing before getting hit with a gigantic, entirely deserved legal judgment. They needed to find a way to make more money. And fast.
What's the best way to increase membership and revenue? You double your potential member pool by letting all genders join. I'd be curious as to how many of the people rage commenting were/are actively involved in Boy Scouts, because as someone who was super involved for years this change warrants a resounding "okay" out of me. High school me would have fucking loved it. Today, I do recognize that there is value in having spaces to foster healthy male bonding, so I can understand the disappointment in losing Boy Scouts as that sort of venue, especially for boys who don't gravitate for sports. But frankly Boy Scouts wasn't exactly good at in the first place (and the changes to make it good would be considered far more woke than letting girls in) and the alternative to letting everyone join is just shutting down entirely, so that safe male space would be going away regardless. At least this way they can still have an organization kids can join focused on conservation, outdoorsmanship and civic duty. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |

Compsognathus 05/07/24 11:58:58 AM #56 | Arkane Austin is sad because they made some gems just to have a live service game they didn't want to do forced on them and then fail.
But Tango is baffling. Microsoft very clearly wants to make Gamepass a big thing and they do that by making a lot of games day one available on it. That makes sense. But if you are doing that you have to reframe how you view the games you are Day One-ing. They are no longer business designed to generate revenue, but cost centers for Gamepass. That's also okay. What is not okay is to essentially make something a cost center and then judge it like it's a revenue generating business, because it will always fail. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |

youre probably right.

So the channel basically canceling all those shows is definitely not an insignificant hit. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |

Compsognathus 05/01/24 5:59:54 PM #50 | I wonder what gay main/supporting characters as a percentage of total main/supporting characters is and if that has seen similar decreases as of late.
Because there are just fewer characters on TV now than their used to be because there has been a significant drop in the number of shows. And even the shows that are on TV have fewer cast members than shows used to as a means to reduce cost. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |

Topic | "Work friends are not real friends" |
Compsognathus 04/29/24 11:52:36 AM #45 | Work friends can be real friends but not all work friends are real friends.
In my public accounting days I had a lot of work friends. And a lot of them ended up being real friends. People who I still hang out with to this day, despite most of us not working there anymore. But a lot of those work friends. People who I talked with daily, had gone out to the bars with, and got along with very well, ended up being just work friends. When we went our seperate ways, we lost touch completely. I'm sure if we bumped into each other while out and about we'd strike up a friendly conversation and maybe go grab a drink but I'd wager we wouldn't stay in touch after. At my current job. I only have work friends. No one is even threatening to be a real friend and that's okay. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |
Topic | Why are dandelions seen as bad ? |
Compsognathus 04/28/24 10:51:42 PM #8 | For lawn fetishist, they do stick out from the classic uniform green lawn look.
But even for those those that don't care as much. They grow taller than most lawn plants, the grow quickly and they spread. And their stalks do look pretty ugly once they are naked. Like I don't care about having a perfect green turf lawn but even I get annoyed when with just patches of dandelions pop up compared to the other plants in my yard. The other aspect is social. Right or wrong, dandelions, especially ones that have gone white, are considered weeds that are supposed to be removed. By extension a person who has a lot of dandelions isn't taking care of their property and thus are lazy and have bad maintenance. And that is not an assumption people like having made about them. So people who might otherwise not care about dandelions, get rid of them anyway. And that just perpetuates the cycle. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed |
