Don’t take this as an actual character of O’Brian. He just had the unenviable position of minor character who commonly did the job most readily taken by ai. The other characters in these don’t escape flanderization for the sake of the joke. In this case Jordi also gets double dunked on for not only making out with holodeck maidens, but with O’Brians wife.
I mean thats soul of the joke.
I disagree
My rental didn’t have a dish washer, got me a countertop one that hooks up to the sink. Almost as good a purchase as the bidet.
I’m not sure why we need share holders at all. Not sure what function they serve. A business can remain active without the stock market if they produce value. They could innovate and not necessarily be wholly motivated by profit above all else.
I didn’t attempt to. Just saying. You said it wasn’t impossible for government owed news media to dutifully report against the government. Maybe not, but our country’s kinda stacked the deck against that
Ok…. And you assume this will be true… if an American government… who established a Russian asset as president, is attempting to defund private schools so that they can give money to certain religious orgs and push a Christian message, who is trying to privatize the post office, and who refuse to answer to war crimes is a good environment to take control of the news media?
Journalists and editors need to eat. And the problem is if the government gets involved and funds it, well let’s just say that ends badly. Not even the post office is allowed to run without being fucked with by republicans, and then they are somehow forced to turn a profit, when they are also forced to run in a way that is antithetical to making profit based decisions. And now you have the government deciding for the news, what is biased. And no more reporting on government officials that aren’t just puff pieces.
Bummer.
I wonder if the word skibidi has out lasted its source only due to how fun it is to say. Can’t wait till mewing starts to embarrass the younger gens.
Almost, but would be funny is if instead of Bane, a female supervillain wearing the pocketed vest. When Batman asks, an annoyed supervillain points out that all the pockets are fake.
How about the companies that cause these don’t get to say whether the poisonous cloud will harm people? Some other body with relevant expertise and no financial ties with the offending company get to make that call. And treat any company who does make claims an immediate pathway to piercing the corporate veil.
Jfc just what ever. Like usual playing games with commitments already made. So sick of this every time.
Right, by design. But when your are talking about the phenomenon casually, because the purpose and result is the same, shrinkflation seems to suffice. Are you asking for the name of the phenomena in the context of a detailed study? For that i am not sure it has a term it’s own.
Its still referred to as shrinkflation as i have seen it used. Putting filler material is just hiding the shrinkage, but the motivators and the result is the same
I would say it’s worse than that. Like knowing that you are selling exp boosters changes the calculus on how exp is earned. If the game played smoothly, there would be no need to sell the boosters and creating the eco system to support it would have been wasted. A system where certain items are nft based would push for these items to be better then the non nft items both for expectation of value, and to raise the trade value to siphon from. This already happens with games with dlc cosmetics. The gear in the games looks increasingly shit compared to the DLC. And that is a natural consequence of polluting the game space.
But why honor other companies tokens? Hell why honor your old tokens? You make the effort to create assets in your new game, are you going to just give it to a limited number of players who play both game for free, or resell it to all players? If you buy an nft for a game that then gets ignored, was it any different then a DLC, or using the steam market place to trade the item? After all i have read i don’t see where this helps players at all, and for companies, the only benefit i can see is if they pump and dump their players.
Lord forbid they get the password used to protect the data that they stole!
