Cazadores are the only goddamned things I actually have to use VATS for, as a PC player.
They are too, fucking, fast.
... Need a goddamned grenade launcher and elevation to take em out reliably w/o VATS, in my experience. That or a scoped rifle at long range.
I appreciate the sentiment.
I'm used to casual ableism in general, but these folks have some weapons grade, fucking Clydesdale, Belgian Draft level high horses they rode in on to this discussion.
Normally when you just point out... hey disabled people exist, 99% of people go, oh fuck, shit, i forgot... good point...
Years ago I noticed a trend on Seattle based subreddits that... there's a lot of just unbelievably perma online debatelord bullshit culture going on.
I know there was some massively stupid meta drama with there being like dueling Seattle subreddits and I think a third one at one point?
Its like tankie levels of utter certainty that anyone who could ever disagree with them on any minor issue, or even the precise language or framing talking about such is obviously a bad faith shit disturber employed by the CIA to detract from the... whatever worldview it is they have... which they also just... assume you already know all the details of... before you ever talk to them.
My guess would be these people are basically trauma molded by that, and brought it here to lemmy.
...
I ran into another person yesterday in some other thread, a meme about jesus telling people to cut off the tips of their dicks.
I threw in some historical background about why it is that... that's really only an American Christian thing.
... and some rando is like 'oh my god. i just got here from reddit and I am SICK of people obsessing over male circumcision, its not that big a deal, why are people here like this too, not a good look lemmy!'
Told im Ive been using lemmy for over a year (recently switched over to dbzero because yargh mateys!)... and I'd never even brought up this topic before.
He replies that he is going to rebutt any discussion of male genital mutilation anywhere he sees it!
... And I laugh at his hypocritical understanding of the word 'obsession'.
...
Maybe we need like some kind of resocialization, decompression zone, type of comm.
Gotta unlearn the hyperdefensive reflex, the undo the antisocial personity disorder that happens when you OD on toxic corpo social media.
... Either that or if these people actually ride bicycles, and don't just debatelord about them on the net...
One good T-Boning on a bike by a car running a red at 30 mph and they'll be about as fucked up as I am.
Happens every day.
Ah, my bad, I saw it decades ago, and you did say you just saw it, I was needlessly hostile.
IIRC, ... I think the movie actually did inspire a number of people, in real life, to attempt to do the ... fractional penny slush fund.
Yep, here's a more recent case:
While it's a comedy film, it surprisingly touched on a lot of areas seen in David Graeber's 'Bullshit Jobs' concept, 14 years earlier.
... Surprising?
Just ahead of the curve.
... Sorta like how people seemed to think Carlin was... joking.
Delivered in an entertaining, humorous way?
Yes.
Joking?
No.
Cost of living is too high, put it on credit.
Your alternative is starve now.
Either way, this is about to get a lot more bonkers in roughly the next 30 to 60 days as Just In Time delivery... kinda just, stops working, and grocery stores will have to both raise prices and ration items per customer per week to deal with shortages and try to minimize in-store injuries and deaths.
Go look up a compilations of black friday shopping stampedes.
Imagine that, but for groceries, every time a grocery store restocks.... for the forseeable future.
... This is a 'which coworkers are idiots?' test... right?
... Right?
Yep.
This means the 4th Amendment is dead.
Oh, any LE agency wants to search your house? Your car?
Uh, hrm, which very vaguely suspected migrants live in your building, your neighborhood?
2 miles away? Whatever, close enough.
Ok, now you've got ICE at your door, on the flimsiest evidence, connected in the flimsiest way, to a person suspected on a different set of flimsy evidence...
... And they are just searching your place because random guy may have been in the area, might have burgled you, whatever, who cares, we've got a warrant, lots of guns, do not interfere with our investigation.
This comm does actually have a rule that you are to replicate headlines precisely.
Have... have we all learned yet, by now, that basically 90% of managers and bosses are literally idiots who only understand buzzwords, vaguely, uselessly?
... Their jobs are easier to automate than ours.
Reminder that during Covid, Elon bought a bunch of CPAP machines (for sleep apnea), sent these to various hospitals, claimed he sent them 'respirators', and then claimed it was a conspiracy against him personally when hospitals told him 'these are not respirators, they will not work, we cannot use them'.
Also, vibes based math aside...
I don't get how this ... makes sense, from an energy expenditure level.
You have a 3 feet long stick, with a 4 foot long string, with a fuzzy mouse on the end.
You... flick your wrist, in various motions, such that the toy seems to be ... hiding... then evading! then running, then hiding, then somewhere hard to reach... scittering slightly like it thinks its safe, sniffing for food -ah back to evading!
Sure, your arm is moving too, maybe you are also turning somewhat, or even walking a bit to certain areas of your place with more cat obstscles.... but you literally have leverage, working for you.
... The cat is literally bouncing off the walls, running at 15 mph, climbing up the cat tower, shimmying under the couch or a table, suddenly executing snap turns, sometimes literally in midair...
... How on earth does that work out to you expeding more caloric energy than the cat?
It is even less work on your end if you use a laser pointer, though personally I would not recommend this due to the chance of accidentally injuring your cats eyes.
Yeah, put super simply:
Minimize needed actual storage space and time a thing spends in storage... by relying on very frequent and consistent logistics.
Its very efficient in the sense of minimizing operating costs...
But it is also extremely fragile, a minor perturbation can fuck shit up for weeks or months.
... And we are getting... well basically the most major disruption in the history of JIT as a logistics paradigm.
