No, first Betteridge’s law applies. But also if these entities were shame-able in the first place they would not be in a position to be able to be the world’s worst climate criminals

By not having the will to leave bed and being exhausted all the time

I bounce between not sleeping for more then 3-4 hours on weekdays, but on weekends sleeping 17 hours straight. And every 4 days i don’t sleep at all. Probably a combination of shift workers insomnia i never recovered from in the navy, delayed sleep phase disorder, bad sleep hygiene, anxiety, and manic like episodes.

Lord forbid they get the password used to protect the data that they stole!

I so looking into it. It looks like few of the pagers are given to actual militants. They were given out to any who they needed to be in contact to, which includes civilians. I can’t get any percentages or counts other than 12 dead and 2700 injured. But the fact that the US indicates that Isreal made the bombs, and even they can’t give any estimate how effective it was… yes it was a war crime akin to disguising a bomb as a harmless object. Your claim that this was a “targeted strike” Is an assumption unfounded by any evidence.

I disagree

My rental didn’t have a dish washer, got me a countertop one that hooks up to the sink. Almost as good a purchase as the bidet.

I wonder if the word skibidi has out lasted its source only due to how fun it is to say. Can’t wait till mewing starts to embarrass the younger gens.

Almost, but would be funny is if instead of Bane, a female supervillain wearing the pocketed vest. When Batman asks, an annoyed supervillain points out that all the pockets are fake.

How about the companies that cause these don’t get to say whether the poisonous cloud will harm people? Some other body with relevant expertise and no financial ties with the offending company get to make that call. And treat any company who does make claims an immediate pathway to piercing the corporate veil.

Right, by design. But when your are talking about the phenomenon casually, because the purpose and result is the same, shrinkflation seems to suffice. Are you asking for the name of the phenomena in the context of a detailed study? For that i am not sure it has a term it’s own.

Its still referred to as shrinkflation as i have seen it used. Putting filler material is just hiding the shrinkage, but the motivators and the result is the same

I would say it’s worse than that. Like knowing that you are selling exp boosters changes the calculus on how exp is earned. If the game played smoothly, there would be no need to sell the boosters and creating the eco system to support it would have been wasted. A system where certain items are nft based would push for these items to be better then the non nft items both for expectation of value, and to raise the trade value to siphon from. This already happens with games with dlc cosmetics. The gear in the games looks increasingly shit compared to the DLC. And that is a natural consequence of polluting the game space.

But why honor other companies tokens? Hell why honor your old tokens? You make the effort to create assets in your new game, are you going to just give it to a limited number of players who play both game for free, or resell it to all players? If you buy an nft for a game that then gets ignored, was it any different then a DLC, or using the steam market place to trade the item? After all i have read i don’t see where this helps players at all, and for companies, the only benefit i can see is if they pump and dump their players.

Not sure i understand? My main point is Hideo has a weird sense of story structure. Couple that with his endless perfectionism would see any company paying his way bankrupt before the game releases. MGSV has a theme change about 1/3 and 2/3 through the game. And the longer it goes the more off the rails things got. I don’t think they all get resolved properly.

When he got his own company started i believe that seeing the end of his wallet helped him focus the end of death standing early on which still has the classic Kojima crazy, and has a cohesive story. Art will form when it rails against its limitations.

Whelp, there goes that hope. Back to being angry.

Oh i bet it happens sometimes against all their efforts.

Well ok, but i assume you played mgsV i don’t think finishing the game was in the plan.

Betteridge’s Law of Headlines

Mine is biking, it was very hot for a few weeks, and so i stopped, but now that it’s getting to be the fall and perfect biking weather… i can’t. They found a cyst aggressively growing inside my jaw and i have lost 1/3 of my jaw bone mass. The surgeon installed a marsupialization and said it will take me 10 months to grow the bone back…assuming it even can. In the mean time, the surgeon is afraid of me even eating chicken, let alone doing anything that could have me fall.
