Hilariously, that style of game is also more popular than Tetris clones now.

I hope you can understand how extenuating circumstances such as yours aren’t the norm.

An indoor cat wouldn’t stand a chance. The lack of experience is an absolutely enormous barrier to overcome, and indoor cats really struggle a lot if they ever get lost outside.

Wow. Cool it with the antisemitic tropes there bud. /s

I like how the Game Gear lost hard to the Game Boy, but now their design is the standard for handheld consoles.

I feel like this is going to be highly variable depending on individual personalities, industries, and even specific employers. The largest employers do tend to be shittier, which probably does a lot of heavy lifting for this statistic.

Most other people who you interact with aren’t actually seeing you individually. Instead they are confronting images they’ve previously developed regarding one or two characteristics they noticed. Don’t take what they say too personally.

Edit: Be aware that you do the same thing.

You got downvoted hard but you’re not actually wrong.

I’ve noticed several issues like this which are prominent on both the right and the left, where the consensus is obviously wrong, but it’s framed as such a deeply partisan issue that too many people refuse to even consider it, and everyone involved looks like ideological zealots for it.

Dude. Power seekers have been doing this shit since ancient times, and you’re getting your panties in a twist about people who fight back against them? Anons know this stuff because they’ve been dealing with it since the dawn of the net.

Here is a great piece someone put together a while ago which goes through many of the techniques bad actors use.

It’s a test of pattern recognition. The difficulties come from trying to apply similar measurements between disparate populations, as the questions themselves tend to rely upon common understandings of the world. You can measure two people from two different cultures with two different tests, but then it’s more difficult to claim that the resulting scores are comparable. As long as people understand that it’s a rough approximation rather than something akin to video game stats, it’s quite useful.

Feeling the need to announce it every time you’re in the same place as a specific person you don’t know is honestly a little bit creepy.

I mean, whatever money value you want to attach, you’re still burning plenty of fossil fuels needlessly in it’s manufacture, transport and application. Takes up people’s time which could potentially be spent on more important things also. Just to spitball a few things that could be gained.

Nah. Too stalkerish.

the public benefit it creates is huge

Uh… the whole point I’m making is that the benefit is almost nonexistent.

Are you basing your opinion entirely upon what sounds better to you politically, instead of actually knowing anything about the issue?

Sorry, but I’m just not into you.

Honestly not a bad idea. Fluoride doesn’t actually provide much of any benefit for those who brush their teeth. If anything we ought to be asking why we keep spending money on it now that brushing is entirely normal.

Why do we keep paying people like this to enshittify everything?

Because if you refuse to destroy yourself, your family, and the rest of the world, they’ll import 3rd worlders who will do it because they’re being threatened.

It’s quite something how they’re trying to force the Internet to work as an artificial version of things we already have, instead of using it for the unique purposes which it can actually fulfill.

Slavery is a bigger problem today than it has ever been before.
