It’s not an MLM or pyramid scheme; it is regular sales employment. You’re not getting other people to sell them for you nor are you encouraged to find others looking to join the sales team. It just sucks dick because the pay is shit (and they go through hoops to pay you less or nothing; which is where the scam part comes in), they treat you like shit, and you have to basically sell them door-to-door.

It’s stupid because the knives are great products; I still have my sample set because they actually rock. They just only sell them like Tupperware clubs and only market them via word of mouth. They’d be making bank if they just sold them to retailers instead of fucking with young people looking for their first job.

I sold cutco knives for a month.

If you’re looking for a job, stay the fuck away from anything dealing with “CutCo” or “Vector Marketing.”

Edit: Its not really a pyramid scheme… They just do everything they can to weasel out of giving you your paycheck on payday and because it’s sales commission, I don’t think they have to follow minimum wage laws since you’re not paid hourly.

Unless they’ve seriously changed how it fundamentally works (this was when I was 18). They never encouraged or paid extra for getting others to sell for you, like a typical MLM thing.

Did the question of androids dreaming of electric sheep actually get answered in the novel? 🤔

I would go back in time to 1995 and give John Carmack modern tools and maybe UE5 and see what happens.

Looks like cornbread infused with onions and cheese(?). I might have to try that recipe out cuz that sounds good to me lol

I planned on getting my dad a sound bar for his TV on his birthday because the TV he uses, the plastic grill over the speaker vibrates something fierce and it sounds like absolute garbage any time something with any amount of bass plays. But maybe I can just glue some rocks to it 🤔

A forum for the explicit purpose of telling jokes. You know… Like a comedy club? 🤔

Which ones? The ones I get only have instructions for the whole bag or half the bag. I gotta figure out how not to burn them when I just want 10.

No, but I give pause to allow them to answer before I deliver said punchline. Comedy is 10% what you say, and 90% delivery and timing.

Dwarf Fortress.

Not just best indie game, but best game period.

That’s not untrue though… Putting rocks on your sound system could make the rocks vibrate against it and sound like utter shit.

Can’t necessarily make it dumb, but you can change how the smart works without buying a whole new TV by getting something like a Roku stick or any other device similar that runs on android that you can then hack/modify to run side loaded apps and such to get around the bullshit built into the TV.

Of course if you’re already planning on getting a new TV you could just get one that runs on Android already and do the same thing. Basically if it runs on Android, there are tons of tools to make it not suck all over GitHub.

I’ve been waiting for this. Finally noticed the update today. Was going fine until I got a draw on the last fight in the first tournament thing and soft locked the game as it will not progress past the end result screen.

I think BG3 already has the highest rating available, so I don’t think it’d be affected.

It can go one higher (AO). They wouldn’t want it to tho.

I didn’t mean to imply it’s not also concerning tech. I think it would fit in both spheres. Just commenting on the whole “stop making trans people political” notion, like the issue isn’t and hasn’t been political the entire time.

They’re trying to make laws to hurt trans people, and it’s a hot issue among the populace… That is the very definition of political.

When you’re all done with your little pink panty meltdown, let me know… 'cause I’d like to get down to business.

Fully agree. Lots of jokes; they’re not very funny, tho. IDK… Maybe it will get more interesting the further I get. I still wanna check out Neon (the cyberpunk city) and do deep space exploration (can’t even get out there yet). I’ve been to a museum ran by the Starship Troopers faction that gives a ton of exposition on the lore and it was a chore to stay awake through all that.

With how many call backs, jokes and references I’ve seen in the main plot: it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Half of the jokes have been directly related to the lack of dialogue options and having a silent protagonist.

I can get the sentiment about the combat being uninspired and a bit bland, and things being formulaic but… There is still something that draws me in. I really have no words for what it is, but somehow these games suck me in despite their problems and “boring” mechanics.
