I'm sad that a Lego set came with her minifig. I'm more sad an almost badass Star Wars chick fell to the dark side.

The language for the last one is interesting, but I can see some merit to it. If I'm loaning to someone across the border, the distance for travel is really what the interest is charging on. It's a way to support global work while promoting local collaboration first.

Then it gets all manifest destiny and I get kind of at a loss.

That's not what they're saying the issue is though, the issue is how it's redistributed. In fact, what you're saying quite literally is the living example of anti-progress.

It could be fine in the current state if companies paid people fairly, but they don't, any progress or efficiency that could have been made was stifled by the company pocketing the ex-employees wage. Rather than supporting the current employee by giving them a raise or a team of members to work with, it's taken.

To put it this way: Bob and Janet are janitors who split their work equally. A new tool the company bought is able to cut their workload down by 15% each. Now Bob and Janet only have 35% of their work, instead of 50%.

A good workplace will support Bob and Janet in various ways, making them both more efficient by being able to accomplish more tasks.

A bad workplace will fire one of them, making the work load for one of them to 70%, without supplemental pay.

That 35% of value Janet brought is no longer going into the economy, it's going into the corporate profit.

It's very efficient. That's why corporations do it. Now one worker is extremely overworked and underpaid, but the job still gets done and the company makes more money? Sounds like a win.

The Komodo Dragon is indeed aptly named

Yeah, I had no issues with the accents so much as who had which. Except for the Engineer Pilot NPCs who always had illfitting voice lines to their NPC look

Pirates play on Palworld servers no problem. No problem at all.

Why not? Not you, I mean but why not have it as an option?

Frankly I wouldn't use it either, but I can absolutely see the appeal. Sometimes you want some warm tones, sometimes you want cool tones. Maybe you're having a Green party for 4/20 and you're playing Green Day and watching green videos idk.

Lol dumbness aside, my immediate thought was "this seems like it could be nice for those who sleep to videos" - I know that I don't always want a white-blue heavy video but something darker and red

Taxi and Uber drivers shouldn't ever be doing it in the first place so 110% agree with you there. It's awful in San Francisco sometimes lol

Not necessarily, more like

"The attempt at avant-garde cinematography really shows how far this director has fallen from their pedestal" -DavidLikesCheese99

Basically it seems like if the review isn't purposefully constructed it's just snippy one liners against the movie. This is just my experience from Rotten Tomatoes and whatever else Plex uses to show ratings. Sometimes they're decent blurbs, other times it's like k thanks for that opinion I'll form my own now

Twist twist: you only charge .20 cents for a subscription cause there's a shit ton of blind people and you'd still be a millionaire in 3 months.

Twist twist twist: once you're set for life all future profits go to non-profits and charities, funding millions of dollars for restoring vision.

Twist twist twist twist: in order to continue the overall positive of charity, you start working on ways to cause blindness again so their subscription goes to other charities
