@stephentpaul@AlZeidenfeld Have you ever considered that there are people out in the world, that maybe don’t want to work in an office or a warehouse and enjoy service work? And maybe they should be allowed to live doing that, since the rest of us want the food they provide?
@Steelloneduck@AlZeidenfeld@SDMIKE73 This arguement is proven wrong so many times over it’s wild. All making every job viable to live on does is ACTUALLY give people a choice. Some people DO want to work in food and make enough to survive, some don’t because they don’t want to deal with customers. That’s it
@Bit_Azure@gmElezen I personally don’t really understand the “issue” of them being “yes men” when like… what is the alternative? What choices have we made that they should have taken like a hard stance against? We’re the hero who saves the world, and we do a good job at it generally
@vodenti@ljmontello Some may be egregious and could do with another look over, but I’d also bet basically anything that the most egregious ones exist not because someone thought it would be fun, but because someone sued someone one time and it cost someone a shit load
@vodenti@ljmontello The reason codes exist isn’t because the government is leeching off them, it’s because people literally cannot be trusted to not cut corners, and when they do people die. And a government is SUPPOSED to make laws to minimize its citizens dying
@CitizenAmedia@jelly_pack That’s kinda what art is all about, it’s million dollar painting is almost never worth a million dollars because it LOOKS the prettiest out of all paintings. It’s worth that because a specific person MADE it, not a machine. Output is irrelevant most times
LOL Stephen Colbert is making his band play licensed music during his final show so CBS – who fired him – will get sued and have to pay millions
"Anyone illegally using that music is gonna have to pay through the nose--"
[band starts playing]
"Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!"
@Brendzun It’s one of the most goated in games imo. The music director Soken is truly insane. Fun fact, he has the Guinness world record for most original compositions in a video game at 384
@Brendzun It doesn’t help that square is ya know.. A japanese company. And they famously are very not ok with mods. Yoshi-P does what he can to be cool with it but when people do shit like this it makes it real hard on him
@Randall_Magnum@DocStrangelove2 If you only know giant dudes who are used to getting hit in the head sure? But if you hit the average person in the head with something hard and metal they WILL go down
@DocStrangelove2 People are much squishier on average than everyone in the replies seems to believe for some fucking reason. Getting hit in the head hard WILL disable 90% of combatants
@DocStrangelove2 Just to play devil’s advocate, if the attacker DOESNT have a gun than a baton or literally any solid stick has been an effective deterrent for literally of of human history
