I have selected premium several times and then the tank stopped filling 30¢ early and my receipt said regular despite selecting premium when filling up my moped. I think the machines try to account for the gas type difference sometimes or maybe the pumps I was using were a bit dodgy.

You can tell it’s gay because it’s not his aunt’s house it’s his aunts house meaning his aunt and her wife which also makes that his other aunt.

Flex is more to show off. You can show off without bragging about it, although everyone who runs marathons seems to brag…

Ah the old Arbeit macht frei point… ok

I don’t recommend them at all, conservative shitholes I mean unless maybe you are very well off and have passive income. Living in a place where people are basically ready to freak out over someone saying good morning as they pass and all the weird hate and suspicion towards everyone around them isn’t healthy. It’s like a culture built around having an enemy freaks out when there’s no immediate external one and looks for enemies within.

Maybe it’ll be gay people maybe it won’t necessarily be that bad for them, hate culture is fickle and not based around logic, sometimes it’s something of a comfort blanket for some people. Some people respond to be controlling and and others that claim to be in power and project control. People who grow up under “My house, my rules” type of homes grow up and vote for people who project that aura.

Yeah other comments have a point that you can run into assholes anywhere, but politics most definitely shape communities no matter how much people say they don’t. Redlining shaped entire communities for over half a century, to pretend a neighborhood built around being held down because it’s primarily an out group is suddenly going to have a drastically different way of life after some policies stopped is moronic. That’s only one thing that causes a culture built around stratification, there’s plenty of problems. Sometimes the damage is already done and actual policies need to be done to reverse it or else people are just stuck. Some policies are hard to really get into detail and convey just exactly how damaging they are especially to people who were never even taught those policies exist to begin with.

I know that this isn’t exactly what you were getting into, I guess I just wanted to dig a bit further into my points seeing as how people are still interested days later. Getting into the politics of it requires some knowledge of history. Basically political landscapes shape culture for better or worse

Compare LA to Phoenix AZ and you go from the description of all the things the green text says are aren’t true to them being reality. 4 Chan is probably filled with people from conservative shitholes hating life because they live in a conservative shithole

They aren’t concerned primarily with employing people or crop yields, agribusiness is a business.

Your sentiment holds entirely if agriculture was entirely dependant on staple crops.

The plateau didn’t come out of nowhere. Staple crops are being pushed aside in favor of high margin crops for biofuel and luxury goods. Large agriculture still focuses on short term gains.

Profit per acre is going up. Businesses don’t care about increasing yield past a certain extent. If the business is set to profit and is currently profitable then all of these issues are non issues to the business.

I think you might be missing something. If food yields were soaring that would decrease the market value of food. The current agriculture system is designed with profit as the goal and feeding people as a secondary result.

Is a supply chain inefficient? In the current system that’s alright, it lets a company charge more to make up for losses and gives them something tangible to justify price hikes.

There’s also massive surplus waste and other problems that are prevalent in the current system. Growing to feed local populations rather than growing for export would drastically shift the situation alone and is currently entirely possible, but not nearly as profitable.

Can we get enough food for everyone? Yes. Can we do it while maintaining record high margins? Probably not

It’s really inefficient. A stove has all of the heat being concentrated to one spot while a car has a whole cooling system spreading out and dissipating the heat, and cars are more efficient at that than in the 70s. Having enough heat to cook with is generally bad for an engine so by design you would want it to cool before it’s that hot.

I have had a few coworkers who put their lunch containers in their engine bay so that it would heat up for lunch though, that was for a job that had us driving around to 3-7 jobs in a day.

I think you hit the nail on the head with those points.

I’ve seen 5+ clones of Papers Please. I doubt that if you surveyed people describing the mechanics that they would be interested especially if Papers Please never came out.

For the original Halo they surveyed people who played who pretty much universally described the AI on the harder difficulties as being significantly “smarter”. In actuality the only thing changed was enemies health pools and damage output and it was identical AI.

Gamers usually have a holistic experience with the games they are playing. There’s definitely a place for user feedback to work, but devs don’t look at a game the same way that people playing them do. Asking people who don’t know how something works for feedback will give you perspective, but it doesn’t necessarily lead to informed design decisions.

I honestly like the added content of the GameCube version. It’s got some bounty hunting type missions against pirates and the power ups to cupil are now found hidden through the game world instead of grinding the save card game on Dreamcast
