I think you might be right, but honestly it felt like the whole point of the story was that people and relationships are the most important thing in life, which was demonstrated when Edward gives up his alchemy for his brother.

Perhaps the whole redeemed evil empire was just an accident born from wanting the state to be kind of obvious bad guys, but needing a storybook happyish ending. At least most of the alchemists who participated in the genocide seem to be very disgusted with their actions and seem to actively suffer from it.

What's the problem with the diabetes drug? Is it just because the fat person didn't ask? Also damn, I feel awful for people who have these kinds of doctors, I feel lucky cause I've never had to deal with a doctor like that.

Not that I disagree, but in my experience, the little displays that tell you what you're ordering (and how much it costs) are rarely used, and the worker on the other side often doesn't tell you how much it is until you get to the window to pay. So if you frequent a place often and already have a rough estimation of how much something is gonna cost (i.e. "I buy this meal at lunch every day" or whatever), and then you find out its twice as expensive, you run into the exact problem I've suggested.

You're definitely right about it slowing everything down though, and most drive-throughs get clogged very easily.

Unfortunately, I see a police car in her immediate future.

I mean, what do you do in a drive through when you get to the window to pay and it's like 3x more expensive than you expected? Just drive away? I'm sure that's what people would argue, while completely ignoring that it's a massive social taboo and 99% of people would just pay because of social pressure.

Also, what happens if the place starts making the food after you order, but before you pay (so you can get your food more quickly and efficiently!). Have you committed theft, or defrauded the business by deciding not to pay? I mean probably not, but I'd hate to be the first person sued to test if it holds up in court.

Yeah, but have you seen Swifties? God damn...

It's pretty shocking that they also tried to fly him straight back to the US instead of to a hospital in South Korea for treatment. Maybe things would've turned out differently if they'd done that?

Hope your dad consented first.

Better question, would you pull the lever anyway, even if your dad didn't consent?

I guess I can work from home right? Probably will need to find a chair that won't stick to my skin... GOD IT IS GONNA BE SO AWKWARD AROUND MY PETS. CAN I PLEASE JUST WEAR A LOINCLOTH OR SOMETHING???

Sure, but Planetside 2:

  • Was specifically designed with that goal in mind
  • Still runs like shit with loads of people

Presumably they have at least one person who passed their realtime programming course

You guys have courses for that? I just set CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=Y and go about my day.
