Is that poison though? Just seems like a really not so tasty drink

Thats what I was thinking Probably just taste bad

Most people aren't going to care though.

How many people have subscriptions to stuff they don't regularly use? That is why subscription services are being pushed so hard.

I know theyre not going to care. Doesnt make it less dumb, though. Between paying hundreds just to play that one game for a couple years vs paying $60 once to own it, Id rather own it Seems like a waste to pay that much

adjl posted...

I mean, if you spend three months playing the game, that's roughly equivalent to buying it for $60. Obviously, that value calculation falls apart if you start looking at replaying it again in the future and needing to pay for it again, and that doesn't work out in your favour for games that would last you that long but cost less than $60, but it also does work in your favour if you play more games than that.

If you're only ever playing one game? Yeah, that's not so worthwhile. But it's still a pretty solid deal, if you're willing to accept the loss of control over your library (which is a big sticking point).

I think Im talking about the ones who play it everyday for like a year, or until the next one comes out. Paying $20 a month for just that seems like a lot

Dikitain posted...

But $20 a month for access to all the games? People will pay that easily even if they are just buying it to play CoD. It is why they are so popular. Minimal effort for maximum profit.

It would probably be dumb to pay $20 a month every month for multiple months for one game, though, tbh

That would just be their justification to push for full cloud storage and streaming play. Don't have to worry about storage space when you're not storing anything locally.

It's what the publishers already want - "In the future you will own nothing and be happy."

It's also the thing that will basically lock me out of gaming forever. Because fuck that future. Fuck it in the ass with a rusty fork. Sideways.

Itll probably be what kills gaming for me, as well And for the people who dont have good enough internet for streaming Or people whos internet goes out often

My hunger is usually based around habit. So if it's not my habit to eat at that time or place it takes me a lot longer to get hungry

I can kind of be like that. For me, works starts between 2:30 and 4:00. And when I get there, I like to eat breakfast within the hour. If I wait too long, I start feeling really hungry. Yet, I dont feel the same when Im home and that time hits So, its kind of like that where my hunger strikes based on my habit. Same with Friday night and pizza Haha.

Sufferedphoenix posted...

I do it all the time. I got into the habit of eating all my meals at work and I'd forget to eat on my offs days. On the rare occasions u had 3 days off in a row the hunger would hit me out of no where in that 3rd day.

I usually eat at least once a day, if I can. But some days, I sleep most, if not the whole day, away

A day is fine. Ive done that often. But you cant go too long

voldothegr8 posted...

I've never once had to wait more than 2 minutes to get a station, usually no wait at all.

Probably depends on where you are. Where I am, you can get self-checkout lines fast because rarely anyone uses them. When I go to other places where everyone is trying to use them, it usually takes forever since people will go there with full carts

Im not really sure on the size of this one, tbh Its been a while since I was there. And its not exactly super close

KLouD_KoNNeCteD posted...

I haven't had any weight check problems in years, of course not all self scans are the same so that issue may apply depending where you shop. Not sure about the pizza thing though, you can scan them where I shop.

The pizza thing is kinda weird at my store. Not sure why it works like that, but thats how it works there a few other things, as well, apparently

Sufferedphoenix posted...

Well here there isn't a lot of positions to be had. There's the admin lady who handles well admin stuff. A nurse a teacher. There's the director who's the big boss. Shift supervisors and then us though us is split. There is security which is what u hired on ad and a YTC. But we do the same exact job. Only difference is security is under a temporary contract and I'm betting gets paid less. Definitely don't get the state benefits.

Yeah. I would guess the number of positions probably depend on the place. Some may have more positions, especially if they had more funding or something This place had a lot of fancy stuff, IIRC And I remember they had quite a few positions open. Honestly, an admin one would have been good enough for me. I like stuff like that

KLouD_KoNNeCteD posted...

Those were the issues I haven't seen at Walmarts self check out in a long tine.

While Im not sure if the weight things is still a problem there (because I dont use them), I know Ive still seen some people struggling with fruits or veggies, or having to wait for a cashier for alcohol, or certain products. Just tonight, I was at a store where someone went to buy pizza. And scanned it. And the cashier who was off sweeping somewhere had to come over to scan his badge because you apparently cant scan the pizza box, even though it has a barcode. You have to tap through a bunch of screens to add it for some reason Which, is something they could probably fix

Sufferedphoenix posted...

I don't know how... obviously gay you are. Idk if that what be a problem. Inmate accuses of something in a prison that can be easily fought. Kids I'm betting are a whole other battle. Like idk how much of a problem it is but it's something I've always worried about with both jobs. (Inmates where so damn homophobic) Fortunately I easily pass for straight.

Tbh, I still have no idea what job I would have had there. I think I would have either chosen or found out the next time I went there They seemed to have a bunch of open positions, so Idk

Toonstrack posted...

I live in western PA and I've never even had this discussion. I dont even remember when they first popped up here but its been a while and we still have cashiers. Heck I worse as a cashier right now and folks using self checkout saves me time and energy.

IRL, the conversation have died down in most places, AFAIK It was a little bigger when they first started showing up en masse in a bunch of places at once So, if they werent getting to you around the same time, that could have stopped discussion. Cant say for sure since I dont live there

Online, the discussion pops up more often, though Less than when they first came out, but I think there are like three topics on this board about self-checkout right now, so And theyre on Reddit a lot But everything is on Reddit a lot

Most places here still have cashiers along with self-checkout. Most people still seem to flock to the cashiers, though

Toonstrack posted...

Didn't even know this was a controversy, its a god sense for me. Long live self checkout

Yeah. Ever since they came out, its been a thing for people to love or hate them. Its seems like most people were on one side or the other I know old reception was more people avoiding them In my area, it seems like people still avoid them, but they thrive in other areas. I think younger areas, for example

Idk if ours changed, but the ones we had at Walmart sucked because you couldnt scan more than one item. You had to scan and bag it. And the weight had to be similar or match And I think they had to get someone over to help with the fruits and veggies Or alcohol. Those were the main things at the Walmarts around here

KLouD_KoNNeCteD posted...

They have, I've not encountered any of those kinds of issues in years.

I meant people perceptions of them. The issues I mentioned I still see daily But I wonder what the general perception of the self-checkout machines are. Many I see still avoid them. And I know older articles mentioned how they had maybe only 30% of customers using them. But I wonder if things have changed

Apparently, a chain in northern England is just getting rid of them out of most of their stores

Yeah. Ive seen those at a few places. Those are different than regular self-checkout. But both that and self-checkout are old ideas. I think the first self-checkout machine was used in 1986

Though, even these days, they apparently arent super popular Idk. I have my own reasons why I avoid them (from they dont want to scan, to the specific items they buy, to having to wait for a cashier for some stuff). But it seems like they arent super popular Or, they werent. Idk if things changed in the last couple of years

Zwijn posted...

Even with a full cart Im faster here since scanning is either a single movement from the cart into the bag or from the shelves into the cart if Im using the cart scanner. Thats faster than putting everything on a conveyor belt, then moving forward and putting all that in a bag again. Its a very annoying process.

If the cart scanner is that thing that lets you scan as you pick up stuff, thats faster. But thats also different from just regular self-checkout And like Ive said, Ive never seen a person (even people who are good cashiers) who go faster at self-checkout with a full cart over a regular cashier. Maybe its different where you are, but I havent seen it here, now do I think I will At least, when it comes to regular people Idk. I still think doing multiple things at once is faster than one thing at a time Cart to scanner to bag always seemed pretty slow to me, but Idk

Zwijn posted...

Depends on where you live. Ive never heard of a cashier bagging stuff and baggers dont exist in most countries. They just scan and throw it aside here on some rollers, you bag stuff yourself. Youre twice as fast with self checkout here.

If youre bagging yourself, if could change things. But not enough to make self-checkout faster with a full cart of things. In that case, youre still bagging as they are scanning. Youre still getting 2 completely separate things done at once

KLouD_KoNNeCteD posted...

Bullcrap, it doesn't take me any longer even if I have a ton of stuff.

Ok. I honestly dont believe that. Unless you just have a bad cashier. When you have a cashier (and especially if they have a bagger), youre getting multiple things done at once. Which is faster than one person doing everything. At least, when you have a lot of stuff, like a careful. If you only have a handful, then its probably not much different, unless you save a minute or something

If you have a cashier, while youre taking stuff out of the cart, they are scanning and bagging, or just scanner if they have a bagger bagging. Meaning that by the time youre done taking shit out, they may be close to finishing up scanning, and the bagging is probably close to done (or possibly done) by the time you get your receipt Thats just common sense. Instead of one person doing everything, you split the work, and it gets done faster

I just dont like it or support it, so I dont use it. I dont see it as a scam, though

Dungeater posted...

idt that makes it a scam tho cuz the time saved is

Time is only saved if you dont have a lot of stuff

I use to volunteer a lot when I was younger. And even more during my early years in the Air Force. I also remember getting a certain number of volunteer hours was needed to graduate school, and I need hours for the Air Force, as well Though, I still do like to volunteer when I can

I almost worked at a Juvenile detention center once The only reason I took the other job was money and time Had I had more money and time, I would have done the juvenile detention center. But the other job started first. For the JDC, I had a couple more things to do there, and would have needed more gas money, and loving money

Now that I think about it, it is probably just every game but the 1st and 3rd. But that's fine, I have yet to play an AA game I actually disliked.

Same. I enjoyed them all. And from what Ive heard, the 1st and 3rd are held above the rest, so you may be right about that

I always liked DD quite a bit. Never heard it was unpopular. I did hear that about AJ:AA, though I wonder is DD unpopularity had anything to do with the Download only thing. Though, that would affect SoJ, too, so IDK

I have the demo, but havent tried it yet. Maybe on the weekend when I have plenty of time

Im not drowning in sadness, so I guess Im ok

I remember loving this movie when I was younger

I enjoyed it a lot. I like the animation more, but the Netflix adaptation was still really good to me Its not going to be to everyones liking, though I dont mind the changes. And I love the Iroh/Zuko parts a ton

And by rule he crossed into another players lane which is technically interference.

But who did it interfere with? Because that swimmer was already done? So it wasnt interfering with him

Brianfellow posted...

Fucking CE. Dude literally broke a rule and yall are mad. It's a stupid rule, but a rule nonetheless. Fair next

I think it depends on what the rule is for. The way its worded makes sense if his interference actually interfered with another swimmer. That swimmer was already done, however (Most were by the time he finished). And finished second place, no less. So, the rule doesnt even make sense in this context since he didnt actually interfere with any other swimmers, which is what the rule it used for

Its a dumb rule. The teammate was finished, and finished second. He didnt really interfere with anyone They need to change the ruling But people are stubborn sometimes, so they may not want to change it

The Panera near me did the AI for ordering thing when they don't have enough staff. It actually works suprisingly well as long as you don't treat it like an actual human and more like a robot with voice recognition.

I have trouble with them due to my accent Like, its not really something most people would hear. But I have had some words sound weird or whatever due to it, I guess That and, depending on the restaurant, it can be hard to get what I want if I want something a little different than normal

The automated voice thing seems like it might suck

Also, did they not have digital boards before? Even McDonalds have those

I assume he means in, like, the "you don't risk your life by jumping off a skyscraper, the outcome is pretty expected" way.

But who knows.

Yeah. This is how I read it, as well

I saw the video. That shit was intense, tbh

Basically, thats what I wanted to know. I want to know what she has been saying officially. Has she backed up the claims against him, or did she tell the truth, and no one believed her? It has she just been radio silent the whole time?

LightningThief posted...

You're right, I can concede on that much.

IF, and I do mean if she did tell the truth, and constantly told the truth for the past 2 years, and everyone else ignored her, then you are right and I take back all of the negative things I said about her.

However if she told this lie, and let the lie go on for 2 years, regardless who went to the police, I don't retract the things I said about this girl.

Like I said, I have no idea. She could have been lying for 2 years. But its also possible she told the truth, and no one believed her. Maybe they thought she was trying to protect him. I have no idea. I was wondering if there was any information on this, or if she said anything at all. But Im guessing not

LightningThief posted...

It's moot if she personally talked to the police or not. She knowingly let the lie go on as if it's true for 2 years. So someone believing her serious accusation and going to the police, doesn't absolve the 16 year old who should very much know better, not speaking up that the accusation never actually happened. Embarrassing or not.

Also only bad people intentionally and knowingly let someone's life get ruined due to a serious lie they started in the first place. Regardless whoever forwarded the lie she started, to the police. She knowingly said nothing as people believed her serious accusation.

Apologist for this girl want to act like this is exclusive behaviour to teenagers or children who would just let a serious lie accusing someone of a crime ruin another person's life. That type of behavior is perpetuated in bad people of all ages and genders.

Its not necessarily a moot point depending on what she said if she talked to them We only assume she let the lie go on for 2 years. Its always possible she told the truth, but everyone just didnt believe her. That said, its also possible she did let the lie go on. The problem is we have no idea either way, it seems

Foppe posted...

Is it even possible to build this case without having the police or the prosecutor talking to her?

I think you can. There have been certain cases, IIRC, where the victim isnt pressing charges, but the prosecutor will. And in those cases, I think they can build a case without talking to the the alleged victim. That said, these guys seemed pretty shitty at their job, so I wouldnt put it past them

Dark_Arbron posted...

I haven't looked deeply into this story so I won't comment on her interactions with the police. But "officer presence" is level 1 on the force continuum for a reason. Teenagers try to bullshit their parents. When uniformed cops are talking to them, it's a different story. It's scary to have cops interrogating you regardless of what you've read about beforehand ("don't say anything without a lawyer" etc.), and believe me, I know that from experience.

I havent looked much into it myself. I was just wondering if someone actually talked to her. And if they did, if she actually said something

Dark_Arbron posted...

They lie and brag about all the sex they have to their friends at school. They don't double down on it to the police. At that point they realize "oh shit what the fuck is this" and come clean.

Im confused about this. Did she say anything to the police? It sounds like someone else told the police, but no one talked to her

And, tbh, most teenagers arent going to come clean Most will just try to lie their way out. That said, I wasnt even sure if she talked to the police

Probably depends on how long his sentence is
