It incentivizes good service, and I make 30+ an hour most days so it would really screw me to get rid of tipping altogether. And I've heard how bad servers are in other countries so it's probably a good thing overall for service and the server.
Wrong topic post?
There is a difference between a movie that happens to be set during Christmas and a movie about Christmas.
On $281 billion in revenue. A 7.8% profit is large but not smaller than many other industries.
While I can't find absolute dollar values for claims UHC denied last year, given their denial rate it's mathematically impossible for half that number to be lower than their profit for the year. So while what you posted may feel true to you, it is in fact absolutely false.
Then the "people more familiar with guns" are lying to you, because silencers increase back pressure rather than reduce it. Malfunctions due to insufficient back pressure is a problem when firing blanks, which is clearly not what happened in this incident.
I know the system has not worked mostly due to moral hazard. It includes those that were putting serious damage to their body voluntarily because they know insurance will try to cover them that started the skyrocketing prices, not just if there are many sick with preexisting conditions, they won't have to pay more in premiums but the healthier population will have to pay for the sick. Which is fine, but it's the reason why insurance companies like UHC were denying some expensive claims because they couldn't attract enough of the healthier population into the insurance pool. At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself, despite CEOs having a salary, is it the system that premeditated the murders or the CEO making money off the sick that premeditated murders and is premeditated murders right for whatever reason in the end?
Jesus... that got me!
they are hurting me because I'm never getting a complete game. If I want any extra content at all (new game mode, new chapters, cosmetics, etc) I have to pay for it. There's no reward for playing a game other than achievements.
Then why should we take your opinions about his post seriously?
Man, if only I thought of that and mentioned 3-4 ways in which somebody's experience with the game could be harmed by having it available for sale before the non-paywalled release date, even if they don't pay for it. That'd be such a convenient thing to reference right now.
"if you don't like it, don't buy it"
people said this about microtransactions during the X-Box 360/PS3 era and now look at how much cosmetics people can buy nowadays. Cosmetics used to a be free unlockable for playing a game. now most games have hundreds of dollars worth of microtransactions.
If it makes you feel any better, Ubisoft seems to be jumping that particular ship, in a move that may or may not be related to Star Wars Outlaws releasing a patch immediately before the non-early release that corrupted the saves of everyone that had been playing for a couple days after paying extra to do so.
Depends on the game and how you want to play it. If it's a story-based game and you're trying to avoid spoilers, general audiences getting access a few days before you means you have to work significantly harder to avoid them. If it's a server-based game, that earlier access having fewer players can mean you actually stand a chance of getting in without the servers crashing, making it easier to plan a window in which you'll be able to spend a lot of time playing the game (such as taking a day or two off work to binge it, which ends up sucking if the servers just plain don't work on the days you take off). If you're the sort of person who likes racing to be among the first people to complete a game, you outright can't do that unless you pay the premium for earlier access. If it's a competitive game with any sort of progressive unlocks, having a few extra days gives those players a tangible advantage that's effectively paying to win.
In many cases, sure, it doesn't adversely affect people who choose not to pay, but there are plenty of scenarios where it does. Given that it's a matter of charging money for literally nothing (no work has gone into this "perk," it's not actually being released early, it's just being paywalled for an extra couple of days after its real release date), the potential for harm is enough to make it objectionable. It's just naked, borderline fraudulent greed from publishers that are already making more money than they'll ever be able to spend.
They say that but it creates a trend that takes over the industry and now everyone deals with it and sets a precedence for worse. The slippery slope is a non fallacy full stop.
Wild guesses and unfounded conjecture is not "filling in the blanks".
And you'd be completing wrong.
I have nothing but constipation with liquid shits every day. I haven't had a solid shit in like 10 years. So this prep is not going to matter to me lmao
Don't care for hot honey either, though in general I don't like mixing meat+sweet.
Yeah, probably
We went to see him just before the pandemic
Love to, but he's not playing anywhere I can get to
I doubt hes coming anywhere close to here.
