seize it via eminent domain.

It’s nice not being so full of shit, right?

Japan…

i just really freaking love public transportation infrastructure

i want to ride ALL THE TRAINS

The tyrannical act that followed after:

“Fine, we’ve set aside a place for you people to live. It’s land we stole from people who hate you even more than we do where you’ll be utterly surrounded. Hopefully you and they shall destroy each other since we hate you both.”

Here’s how I think a GoG subscription might work out:

The money goes into a balance on your account. It just accumulates store credit.

You might raise the question of “why would they want to do that”, to which I say:
it’s guaranteed income for them and they make a profit by selling games ANYWAY.
The fact that they get this income consistently is good for their books.

You might also raise the question of “why would anyone want to participate in that”, to which I put to you this:
I want to give myself a “gaming allowance” of a little bit each month but saving is hard. If I am paying GoG a monthly subscription, though, and I accumulate a balance of credit, I can get games without it impacting my budget outside of what I’ve exactly allotted.

What else do I get? The warm fuzzy feeling of supporting GoG. Which I’d definitely do anyway. Honestly, letting me turn my subscription into store credit is a huge boon. I don’t NEED any perks beyond that.

Oh here’s something GoG could maybe do, actually:
an extremely UNOBTRUSIVE cloud storage drive that they say is for Save Syncing (and automates this if you’re running the galaxy app) but that they’ll let you store any arbitrary files in it as long as what’s in it fits within the space they’ve designated for me… and furthermore if this space got bigger the more store credit I have built up, that’d be the tits too.

OH OH OH I thought of two other perks!

• What if the cloud storage suggestion also automatically “stored” “copies” (in your “personal” cloud storage box) offline installers for games you’ve purchased so that you can still download them EVEN IF they get “delisted” for sale?

• What if your subscription gave you sliiiightly more than the cash value in store credit? Like only 10% bonus.
  If I am paying $5.00 per month, they put $5.50 store credit in my balance each month.

I’ve been saying this a lot lately because it seems like arc words for the zeitgeist we’re living through but good gods above and below it just keeps being relevant:

Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

When shit’s this stupid, it doesn’t matter whether they meant it or not…

If he loses enough fans, he will have to blow himself.

Make it a collar or anklet next time :p

Because owls are superb and the only bowls that are super contain soup.

It sure would be nice if the world would stop denying this new Holocaust.

You say this as though the Democrats are trying to win.

They are not trying to win.

They’ve made an incredible cash cow grift out of losing elections.

They scare billions of dollars in political donations out of people, and where does that money go?

It’s gone.

“Consultancy” contracts. “Advertising”. Gold-plated toilet seats by any other name.

Of COURSE they have no interest in winning elections. Any candidate who would win on their ticket is a threat to the congame.

Oh I get it, fitgirl will Make It FIT! Huh.

Wow so it’s not even a NEW plane but shitty high maintenance sloppy seconds.

The mandarin chief really does have a type…

Would it have been any less shitty if it had instead been written in assembly?

Oh boy another person to hate! :D FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU aaaaaand blocked. That was easy. Unlike Ben Affleck, I’ll never have to hear about YOU ever again.

Boy you fuckers sure are lining up for the hate train. Fuck you too then.

I resent rich people in general but I fucking hate this feckless buffoon especially. Professionally, he had a hand in ruining an iteration of Batman. Personally, he doesn’t understand the difference between race and religion when it comes to people who practice Islam and that’s both reductive and patronizing. Fuck Ben Affleck.

You’re right, absolutely spot on, about several things but ONE IN PARTICULAR is this:

A human being helping a customer is, quite literally, an act of circumvention. Customer service EXISTS, SPECIFICALLY, for scenarios that require exceptions and skilled, knowledgeable internal maneuvering within, between, and around the cold mechanisms of machinery and policy. We tend to think of, say, purchasing items at a store as standard operation, for instance. But really, from the perspective of the business, its objective is to RESTRICT access to goods and services. The cashier manages exceptions to this goal. If the company has its way, it would take your money while relinquishing NOTHING.

Pinkie is the kind of friend a friend would like to have.

Encouraging, supportive, attentive, she will do her level best to never leave you out or forget special events in your life, and she will work tirelessly to cheer you up.

She’s inspiring.

I wish I could be a friend like her… But I’ve let too many people down and I’m so tired, so very very tired, of everything going on in this world.

I have a thimble of water whereas she’s the entire sea.

Still… I know what she’d tell me:
“You, just trying, is a present worth more than all the bits in Canterlot. So it’s okay if you can’t afford it right now. But sometimes … You still find a way anyway! And I love that! So don’t give up!”

Nah y’see all them wrinkles makes so there’s more skin than it looks like. This kitty’s surface area prolly comprises no more than 50% ears.
