I think they eventually figured out mass doxxing isn’t such a good idea

This has to be satire lmao, “Joe Byedon” I meaaaaaan

Are you in the US? Then either guns or lawsuit

Both can be true!

Friendly reminder to not use pokey thing into those grills, use a mounting putty, stick it on there and be satisfied when you pull it off. Same thing if you have wireless earbuds where one ear is a different volume.

That’s even worse, like you said, selfish.

walks my groceries home like a european

We do buy bulk as well, I’d say maybe 10% actually walks them home? I guess it depends greatly on the type and location of the store.

how often do you encounter scales on self checkouts?

Every store with self-checkout has them, usually there will be one scale before you actually use a register. It gives you a sticker with the weight/price barcode to scan yourself.

It’s not necessarily about the value they provide

That’s how a business works though, people do work of value which the business provides to its customers. I know nothing of the situation is SA but ordering business to lose more money doesn’t seem like the way to go. I’ll agree with the other comment calling for UBI.

That article wasn’t helpful though, just a whole lot of people talking with too much conflict of interest.

So is it customary to tip the person doing the bagging? Or maybe a designated bagger will do it faster, resulting in less wait times?

My favourite system is where I place my cart next to another one, and the cashier will scan everything while placing the item in the other cart, where I could have placed boxes if I wanted to.

It’s the same for filling your car with petrol.

But how does this person provide any value though? That person has to be paid as well, and doing something a customer can do well by themselves provides very little value. It used to be necessary, older petrol pumps had to be manually enabled or had no stop valve that person is required. With modern pumps having a person fill up your car is equally unnecessary.

As a European, I have never once had an extra person there whose sole purpose is putting your groceries into bags, what a strange concept.

The first was amazing as well, but I always figured its niche type of problem solving and philosophical subjects didn’t really appeal to a wide audience. When the second one was announced I immediately wanted to play it, but I think once again a small target audience is its crutch for mainstream success.

Found the LLM

I bet you there’s a linguist out there who would celebrate this, and another who’s rolling in his grave

Oh for sure, the UX is horrible, but I find the UI quite pretty. Could definitely use better playlist managegement, this could be the same interface more geared towards music managing.

Those aren’t Spotify screenshots? I am very impressed.

Nothing warranted your hostility? Anyway, the post (not the comment obviously) is asking how much impact coins have on the game. Answer? A lot, the exact number is not known but general consensus is 0.5-1% per coin, which on an average laptime of 35 seconds, could save you 1.7-3.5 seconds per lap. If you’ve ever played a racing game, that is the very definition of dramatic, grinding some time trails will even reveal that fact to you.

If you still haven’t noticed the dramatic difference 10 coins makes even in multiplayer, that’s a skill issue on your side.

And then maybe, if you get good, you’ll notice some coins have less importance than others, but in general go for the coins, they will help you gather momentum and dramatically increase your chance of winning.

Time trials are not the same as head-to-head racing

Time trail just demonstrates the effect for you if you look at the splits. Having 10 coins is a major advantage and will increase your chances of, grabbing the lead and staying first. Every time you have a larger amount of coins will ensure that even if you get hit, you still have more coins than the person behind you. Literally being the difference between getting an overtake opportunity again or falling further behind.

are the people who keep hold of 10 coins in multiplayer games always the ones who win?

That is a very different question from your post, Mariokart is an arcade racer with a lot of RNG, no-one can guarantee a win with that much RNG. What you can do is increase your chances dramatically.

There is no need to argue, go into time trail, complete a track twice. Once with coins and once without and you’ll notice a very significant difference (depending on skill ofcourse). Trying to go for records and missing one coin early on just kills your chances. I cant quantity how much though, but it’s really significant.

Insane, why would you ever create value for a platform with as little respect for it’s userbase. What an entitled piece of shit.

CEO salaries:

• Tim Cook, Apple, 63-93 million
• Satya Nadella, Microsoft, 48.5 million
• Sundar Pichai, Alphabet, 200 million

Mind you these are companies making billions a year in profits, while reddit reported a loss of 91 million in 2023 and is reportedly “not profitable yet”. These stats make me sick

Imagine being one of 90 people being laid off that year, each could’ve been paid 1 million a year and it wouldn’t even make a dent.

When the article mentioned it was more than twice the target value I knew this was just a puff piece
