They’re taking advantage of everyone with their shitty “dev exchange rates”

Also, it’s a bit light to say that they’re stricly saying taking advantage of people because only because of their fees.

I’m honestly not sure what you’re trying to say. I didn’t say the transfer fees were the only way they were taking advantage of people, I just wanted to use the thing you already admitted was predatory and use it to give an example of how roblox is taking advantage of children.

You don’t know how the known behavior that takes advantage of everyone, in a game popular with and marketed towards children, is taking advantage of children?

If that’s the standard, then mine is probably

I consider tankies to be people that are incapable or unwilling to admit that China or whoever else massacred their people.

from the .ml/c/memes community. It also got me a temporary ban for not being “civil and nice.”

I’m assuming they’re thinking about this

A pseudonymous coder has created and released an open source “tar pit” to indefinitely trap AI training web crawlers in an infinitely, randomly-generating series of pages to waste their time and computing power. The program, called Nepenthes after the genus of carnivorous pitcher plants which trap and consume their prey, can be deployed by webpage owners to protect their own content from being scraped or can be deployed “offensively” as a honeypot trap to waste AI companies’ resources.

Then why bring it up and say someone will correct you if you’re wrong?

Most of the pictures of the dead are of protesters, and they’re plenty gruesome.

That’s photographic evidence. Evidence that contradicts the idea that it was just a peaceful protest. Yet another seed of doubt on the general accuracy of western reports.

But importantly, do you know the timeline of events leading up to that one soldier being burned and hung up? Probably not, since there aren’t any timestamps for it that I’ve been able to see. When I throw the first image into google translate, it turns some of the writing on the bus into “he killed” and “return blood.”

That’s obviously not a complete or accurate translation, but do you think it might be possible that that particular soldier was killed after committing some crimes of his own? Do you know when and where the violence started, and by who? I’m guessing not, because the whole event is pretty heavily censored by the chinese government. And that censorship is a large part of what makes me think that the government was in the wrong, and that “massacre” is an accurate term for the hundreds of civilians that were killed.

Many people wouldn’t be able to distinguish between a massacre and a war zone. Like I said, what makes something a massacre is more about how it’s carried out than any certain number.

Even if we assume the chinese government was “fighting a war,” they’re sending armed soldiers and tanks into their own cities to fight against mostly unarmed “combatants”. One might say that the use of such overwhelming force in a fairly one-sided battle could be called a massacre.

Evidence of a massacre having occurred in Beijing was incontrovertible.

Chinese army tanks guard the strategic Chang’an avenue leading to Tiananmen square (6 June 1989) Manuel Ceneta/AFP Troops fired at unarmed citizens on the strategic Chang’an Boulevard

Numerous foreign journalists saw it from widely scattered vantage points.

On the morning of 4 June, reporters in the Beijing Hotel close to the square saw troops open fire indiscriminately at unarmed citizens on Chang’an Boulevard who were too far away from the soldiers to pose any real threat.

Thirty or 40 bodies lay, apparently lifeless, on the road afterwards.

That scene outside the Beijing Hotel alone justified the use of the word massacre. But the students who had told me and other journalists of a bloodbath on the square proved mistaken.

From the article you posted. At this point I don’t care that the massacre didn’t happen inside the square. The Tiananmen Square Massacre describes a massacre near Tiananmen Square, that was started because of events that happened there. And also, because it’s especially relevant here:

The Chinese government was quick to exploit the weaknesses in our reporting.

By focusing on what happened in the square itself, it began sowing seeds of doubt about the general accuracy of Western reports among Chinese who did not witness what happened.

There are so many amazing games to play. If you wanted to, you could cut off all future content from this day on, and still have more than enough to remain entertained for the rest of your life.

If you can’t make each game better than the last, people will just go back to the last game. But if you take away the last game, they’ll go to the new game simply because the same game but worse is still better than nothing.

Isn’t this true for every form of media though? Books, TV shows, movies, music; there are multiple lifetimes worth of content for anyone that wants to look for it. What makes video games so special?

[Referring to the Tiananmen Square Massacre] We (at least many of us) have read the sources that have been linked. What is described there, particularly the accounts of people who were there, is what we assert is what happened. In the few instances where there may be contradictory first hand accounts (and mostly, the accounts are not contradictory but rather corroborate each other) there may be some ambiguity. But even taking that into account, it is ridiculous and downright ahistorical to say “Chinese authorities massacred people.”

This is from a conversation with the kind of people I would consider “tankies”. It’s from a community I think has since been deleted, but the general vibe of the comments in the post was that the Tiananmen Square massacre isn’t a real thing and any civilian deaths were actually justified.

120% of 80 is 96. You’d have to let them charge to 125% to get to 100

I think so, there isn’t much else that can explain the classroom scene where half the class are all playing the same goofy animation at 5 frames per second, mostly in sync. It would have looked better to have them not moving at all, so at least some of the jank was a stylistic choice on gamefreak’s part.

Is that still scarlet and violet? Because if so, I don’t think that was a problem with the switch.

They also tried to pull people in by releasing a new game for free every week (even AAA titles!), which was actually the coolest thing they ever did.

You’re using the past tense, but they’re very much still giving away games for free. On a related note for OP, I’m pretty sure amazon prime gives away games for free too, so if you don’t know where to start, you can always start with something that doesn’t cost you anything (extra, assuming you have prime).

Steins;Gate and its sequel movie Steins;Gate: The Movie − Load Region of Déjà Vu

The lines of the tree trunk and lamppost shadows all converge toward where the sun is, if extended toward it.

I’m pretty sure that’s not true

Edit: I’ll concede the other points though

The tree on the right has that block missing in its shadow, the trees on the left are casting their shadows in a slightly different direction, and they guy on the dirt path’s shadow seems too dark and clear. Once you pointed out something was wrong, it’s hard not to see other mistakes.

why do people have this innate ability to underestimate what we might be capable of?

Because we can see what we’re currently capable of in terms of climate change, and the outlook is pretty bleak

why do you think its impossible for us to become masters of our own genome?

Because even in the best case scenario, this is dangerously close to eugenics

not getting off this rock means our species is doomed regardless of how ‘perfect’ we keep earth.

If we can’t keep earth livable, an entire self-regulating planet that’s been livable for hundreds of millions or billions of years, what are our chances of keeping anywhere else livable?
