100% and I think this is echoed across the thread. It does apply to many many things that are uncomfortable/hard. You somehow have to power through the part where you suck a lot an…

IMO I’m getting a lot of small stuff done that I wouldn’t have touched previously. It’s a little bit nicer for users but I would say the difference is marginal

It is what it is

But it’s not only toxic to the greedy corporations but all the others as well, hence

Isn’t that literally what the comment you replied to was saying?

That is horrible but robbing a liquor store dressed as a clown is pretty funny (in my head probably not irl)

Consequently 99% of software written is to make it easier to buy stuff (at least in web dev). They say the internet is for porn but it’s really to sell/buy stuff Edit: even with LL…

He does look a lot better than his American counterpart

Crazy how obscure episodes of world history land randomly on the front page - how does it even happen? I grew up in Germany but I don’t think we covered this in history class - may…

I don’t know, like who even remembers Meian and Ragn0r, who created the original Dota before icefrog took over? I think icefrog benefited a lot from creating Dota and is widely cre…

I think it’s pretty subjective at that point what is good and what isn’t. Totally agree on the dark patterns though. Out of interest what is a game you consider excellent that mayb…

No it’s very polished in gameplay and balancing. I haven’t played it myself but I watched some others play it. Also looks great etc, so it’s obvious to me that it’s high quality

Sure the genre and many of its archetypes were invented in the WC3 fun/custom map scene but LoL is more than a Dota clone. I haven’t really played it (my moba time ended with HoN) …

Yea but that’s a fad - people are already fed up with the obvious slop. I don’t think it’s something we will see a lot in ~1-2 years. Marketers will continue to hop on the next big…

Fall from what exactly? As someone living here it’s still one of the most carefree and comfy countries I’ve lived in.

Only the enlightened tech elite should have access to such sophisticated technology - we can’t expect the uneducated masses to not misuse them /s

Germany also has some product lines that have similar brutalist design

Yea I don’t get the GP/OP sentiment at all. Some of the best food I ate in places that looked like complete design wrecks. And yes now these places use a lot of really badly made a…

What the hell are you talking about? What pros use typewriters for what (to write code?)? I get reluctance about being dependent from the US but your reason seems a bit off

Ok that makes sense to me, so you do this once or twice per year? I used to buy a lot of olive oil in canisters in Italy when on vacation. Just can’t match the quality with what yo…

The reality is that it’s not as clear cut like “X is bad/Y is good” as laypeople in this thread assume

As someone who finds ordering groceries obscene what kind of heavy stuff do you get that you need to order in?

Completely inverse to my lived experience. I have always used this method and my managers love me because they know I get important shit done without much supervision or needing do…

People take horse dewormer against COVID so yes they will do all kinds of irrational things
