A hell of a lot of people probably shouldn't have access to cars or the Internet either.

Unfortunately, it's not an easy to solve, all-or-nothing issue, no matter how much some people would like it to be.

That's a pretty solid arguement for a caste system. Some people can't be trusted with cars, guns or the internet, so they should rank below the general population and have more regulations over their lives.

Given what your online postings reveal about your mental state, you'd probably be assigned to said lower caste. You've got a whole lot of pent-up aggression there, dude.

Why replace?

Because that's exactly what you're suggesting has to happen with PC's, and you can't make a comparison without giving consoles the same treatment.

The difference, of course, is that fully replacing a PC or its parts is the norm, whereas it's much more common to keep older consoles around to be able to play their games. If you instead kept an old PC around to play older games, you would have no compatibility issues. The reason for that norm, though, is that a newer PC is likely to be able to play older games (especially if we're talking about anything this millennium, since it's mostly only pre-XP stuff that presents a problem), whereas a console is not (since console games are specific to that console, specific examples of BC aside). Ergo, PC's are better at compatibility than consoles.

It is also worth noting, though, that GOG has made considerable strides in porting older PC games to alleviate the compatibility issues that might otherwise have plagued them. They're also completely independent from Steam, and in fact have no DRM at all. But I wouldn't expect you to know this because you bury your head in the sand when it comes to modern PC gaming.

Really, the whole "monopoly money" thing just comes from the fact that it isn't all the same colour. Never mind that having to look at the numbers on a bill to tell what it is is significantly less efficient than being able to tell from a glance at the colour, or the fact that most countries in the world have multi-coloured money.

Planning for what? Planning on cooking the same meals over and over again that you're ordered to on a daily basis

Specials mix things up, but even without them, there is indeed a lot of planning that goes into making sure a kitchen runs smoothly. The fact that you don't wait for six hours when you order a bowl of soup is a reflection of the fact that the kitchen planned to have it available for you. There are a whole lot of dishes that can't be made to order, and for those that can, there's a lot of pre-cooking and station setup that goes into making sure kitchen staff aren't tripping over each other and things can be prepared efficiently.

Over time, yes, patterns emerge that make the planning simpler, and you can establish routines rather than having to reinvent the wheel every evening, but operating efficiently still means being on top of local goings-on (such as a cruise ship being in town, for a port city) in order to estimate how busy you're going to be and not over- (in which case you waste food) or under-prepare (in which case you lose business and reputation). And, again, specials throw a wrench into everything, because they mean you're either preparing an unusual dish, or you're serving more of the discounted item than you usually would and have to adjust your projections accordingly. There's a real art to being able to direct a kitchen well.

Note: Sunny said "I make double!" without remotely stating a figure.

Time for a lesson in word problems:

-You said "Chefs make 8 pounds/hour" (round figures).
-Sunny said "I make double that"

Use of the word "double" in a word problem means you should multiply the object of that quantifier by two. 2*8=16. Ergo, Sunny stated that he makes 16/hour.

Kyuubi4269 posted...

My trade is paid more because it is more valuable, my views hold more weight as I am more productive for society.

The fact that you make metal hot for a living indicates that you are knowledgeable about making metal hot. The fact that Sunny makes chicken hot for a living indicates that he is knowledgeable about making chicken hot. That's it. Being knowledgeable about anything else requires education and/or experience that has nothing to do with what you do for a living.

Also, again, Magus is paid more than you because his trade is more valuable than yours, therefore his views hold more weight than yours. By your exact logic, because you don't get to pick and choose when logic matters.

Eh, I'm not that great of a creative writer in general. The occasional overdramatic line like that is fun (bonus points if I'm saying it out loud and get to do a silly evil voice), but writing a whole character, and a story around that? Never really been my thing.

man101 posted...

You're also fundamentally wrong in your assertion that a job that pays more is objectively more valuable.

Eh, there's merit to that claim, you just have to be careful about its scope. A higher salary means you're more valuable *to the person paying you.* It doesn't mean anything about your value to society, and in fact you could well be hurting society as a whole, depending on who you're working for.

Not to side with kyuubi here (and I'm not sure of the actual stats and dont feel like researching) but I'd venture to guess that the average welder makes more than the average cook. A lot of welders make damn good money but very few cooks progress to the level of a head chef or professional/private chef to get to the point where they actually make a career out of it. The bar is definitely lower for being a successful welder than a successful chef though

Oh, I don't doubt it. Without researching it myself, I'd guess welders end up clustered more closely around a higher median salary, while chefs end up more broadly distributed around a lower median. The worst and best paid chefs are paid a lot less/more (respectively) than the worst/best paid welders, I would imagine. But then Kyuubi himself has rejected the idea that salary matters beyond personal ability to afford what one needs/wants to be fulfilled, so I guess that's no longer relevant.

Though, as an aside, I'd like to call attention to the fact that Kyuubi hasn't actually talked about his own salary yet. Just his dad's. He seems to be basing this whole "I'm more important than you" thing not on how much money he makes, but how much his dad makes. What a fun observation that is.

That's not really relevant, hairy women still ended up in the freakin' circus, it's only relatively recently that it was seen relatively easy to manage.

Exceptionally hairy women, yes. Not ordinary women with ordinary amounts of hair. Bearded ladies were not merely women who didn't shave, they were women with a condition which caused unusual amounts of hair growth. Women growing hair on their legs is not unusual. If it were, razors for women would be a pretty niche market.

Standard business protocol is not to make everything hidden behind fees. Some businesses do it, others don't. Google provides free cloud storage, Apple does, many other companies do. Now, it isn't the biggest deal that Nintendo is doing this, but it is cheap and has not been beneficial to them.

Standard business protocol is to charge for products/services you wish to sell. Yes, other companies have offered cloud storage for free, but that doesn't mean every company has to do so. If one cafe offers free cookies to go with their coffee, does that mean every bakery in the world should be expected to give away cookies for free as well? Of course not. Choosing to offer a service for free is done as an incentive to attract people to other, more valuable products/services, and that decision is entirely on the company.

Now, would offering free cloud storage be a good business move for Nintendo? Probably. That'd set them apart from the other two consoles, while not actually costing them that much (presuming they're making a solid profit margin on those $20/year subscriptions, which are really quite cheap). But that's still their decision.

EvilMegas posted...

Stop defending them suddenly making us pay for something they offered for free for no good reason.

"Suddenly"? They've literally been talking about this service coming since before the system launched. That online play had been free before now has always been painted as a bonus for early adopters while they ironed out how they wanted the subscription to work. That was supposed to be happening last fall, so it kind of sucks that everyone that's bought a Switch in the past year and a half has grown accustomed to having it be free, but nothing about this is sudden. We knew this was coming. I'm pretty sure it's even printed on the system's box.

Now, is it a good service? Not really. It's a reasonable enough price for online play, but the incentives they're tossing in are pretty pathetic. The only reason cloud saves are valuable at all is because they don't offer a manual backup option, and tying voice chat to a smartphone app is pretty silly (though having it as an option wouldn't be unreasonable). But don't act like Nintendo suddenly swooped in out of nowhere and paywalled online without warning. This has been coming for a long time. If you didn't know that, it's your own fault for not paying attention.

The "propaganda" that hairy legs aren't feminine?

Yep, what better way to be able to sell leftover razorblades than to convince women they need to shave?

Men have more hair than women, ergo less hair is more feminine. Also who wants hair in their teeth? Grooming is just basic hygiene.

Your ignorance of history is showing. It only became at all normal for women to shave because Gillette and a number of other companies had a whole bunch of razors it couldn't offload because all the men were off fighting in the war, so they started a propaganda campaign to get women shaving. That's a relatively recent social norm.

"Can't trust" and "can't count on" have very different connotations. You can't use them interchangeably.

"Can't count on" = "Can't trust to do a good job." In the context of talking specifically about football players, I feel it's implicit that the trust in question is specifically in regards to playing football. Duckbear's made some questionable word choices in his past efforts to paraphrase, but I think this one's okay.

Think traditionally of cooks living on their master's property that they work (i.e. a serf), and "steel workers" (closest thing being a blacksmith) working at the forge. One has a true sense of agency, one does not.

A chef is significantly more likely to end up running their own business than a steel worker is. Even ignoring that potential, you also work for somebody else. You don't have agency, you follow the blueprint your boss gives you. Likening yourself to a blacksmith is also pretty laughable. You're not creating anything. Blacksmiths are the modern blacksmiths, not steel workers.

Men occupy the majority of positions of power, social suppression only works when people are willing to be suppressed (like now with feminism). If all men suddenly decided to enact "the patriarchy" the most of the military and police would switch, most employment avenues would switch.

The point you're trying to make (and failing, because I don't think you really understand the situation) is that, as society has developed, physical power has been eclipsed by other forms of power. As I mentioned earlier, the list of people who could beat Trump into submission is much larger than the list that couldn't, and half of the latter list is only there because they couldn't catch him when he ran away. Despite this he's currently considered to be one of the most powerful people in the world. Individual physical power means very little these days.

Physically, could women be subjugated? Sure. But we don't live in a world where that matters. Political power is what drives the cultural change effected by feminism. Women don't need to beat men up to convince them that there's no particular point in most gender restrictions, and convincing a majority to agree with you is all it really takes to change a democratic society.

Put another way: why do you listen to your boss at work? Because he'd beat you up if you didn't? Of course not. Because he controls your livelihood? Yep. Physical power means nothing there. You are subservient not because he's subjugated you by force, but because of his financial power.

Oh yes, you have to be a genius to read though excessively verbose and very repetitive articles made to hit word counts. Only a genius can handle that level of dumbf***ery.

You don't, but you do have to be reasonably intelligent to be able to skim them and understand the key points in a timely fashion. That article really isn't that long, nor is it overly repetitive, but it does include some background to contextualize the news, which can be filtered out if you know how to read efficiently.

If a 5000 character essay can be summed up in 13 words, it further reinforces my point.

That doesn't really reinforce any point you're trying to make. Almost anything can be paraphrased to that degree if you take out all of the supporting details. Full articles exist to provide a complete story; it's almost always true (with decent writing) that you can understand the main points just from reading the headline and the first paragraph or two, and this is no exception.

Yeah, it's not like you can just donate to a computer who then processes the money, and then deposits it into someone's account.
You need a human figuring out where the money should go, how to get it to them, and so on. And humans take money to operate with any sort of real efficiency.

If only banks existed.

Banks do indeed exist. Now all you have to do is personally identify a person or group in need, identify a service that will reliably fill that need, and transfer your money to that person or group so they can access that service.

In practice, having a charity do all of that legwork is a whole lot more efficient than each individual donor doing it themselves, even if it creates overhead costs. That doesn't mean those costs can't be inflated to abusive levels, but the concept of charitable organizations is not inherently wrong.

Recurring donations are what charities rely on the most.

This is something that I think a lot of people don't quite realize. I remember a topic a few years back where somebody was wondering why Red Cross sent them an email saying their donated blood had been given to a firefighter, since they didn't think that was necessary, and the point was raised (by Clench, I believe) that donor retention is one of the biggest challenges they face, and that it's absolutely vital to put some effort into making people feel good enough about donating that they they want to do it again. It's also a lot easier to convince somebody who's already donated to donate more than to get somebody to give for the first time, which is why efforts go toward that.

Does it go too far sometimes? Yeah. This topic is an example of that. Personally, though, if I get some sort of message trying to tell me how great more donations would be, even though it's unnecessary and a little annoying, I just accept that it's something they really need to do.

Fortnite(And BattleRoyale genre) is absolutely a fad, maybe even more so than Minecraft, being free doesn't change that. Minecraft is also still very popular among the pre/early teen range.

It's a fad in the sense that it won't be a popular style of game forever, since you can only play/watch so much Battle Royale before it gets boring, but between the accessibility and the fact that it's just a solid game in its own right, Fortnite's dominance of the subgenre is likely to be around for as long as that subgenre is. To that end, dismissing Fortnite itself as "just a fad" is a little over-simplistic.

No carbohydrate has necessary nutrients,

Glucose is a necessary nutrient, given that it's the preferred food for most cells and the only food the brain can normally consume (in extreme starvation, it'll also eat ketone bodies, but then you're getting into ketoacidosis and that's really not a good thing). In terms of macronutrients, both fat and proteins can be converted into glucose if the need arises (and vice versa, provided you've got the nitrogen handy for proteins and you cover your essential amino acids), but that doesn't mean carbohydrates don't provide something essential. It just means they aren't the only source of it.

So I voted that it does surprise me. Cause....what a stupid f***ing thing to be upset about!

It doesn't surprise me. People are pretty stupid. The complaints about BLM obstructing traffic and the like were never really about the inconvenience. They just wanted the political statement they disagreed with to go away, and saying "they should be less disruptive" was easier to justify than saying "they should do it where I never have to hear anything about it."

Pick one.
