Hard to say without digging up when different places adopted it but I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.
- Comment on Shamelessly stolen from Reddit 21 hours ago:
I’ve heard that some food joints would offer military discounts back when people were figuring out how bad Vietnam was especially with how many vets were coming back broken and homeless. Theres at least one place near me that’s had a veterans discount as far back as '78, they also let folks camp out in their parking lot since it was a bit bigger to accommodate the firetrucks since they were in a more central location than the fire station at the time.
Rambling aside, veterans discount started out as a way to help conscripted veterans during and after the fustercluck that was Vietnam and then was hijacked at some point.

Fair enough, though them being stupid greedy bastards is also an element to the why in such a situation. Regardless Visa and MasterCard need to pushed out of the financial system and forcibly dissolved.

Wonder what it looks like after I scratch it for 50 minutes straight because my pain receptors are bad and I won’t stop till I see blood.

The hypothesis I’ve heard is that the zealots have deep enough ties to the Australian government to be pains in the ass for MasterCard and Visa. Though I can’t imagine Australia is a big enough demographic to really matter meaningfully, also if you are any type of international entity you should have Australia marked as fuck ass stupid place is the Idaho of the Anglosphere shitty government but with lots of decent folks about.

Stirner is a memetic hazard but not in a cool SCP sorta way but in a “thank fuck Marx got big” sorta way. Imagine how annoying a Stirner version of a tankie would be.

As an autistic bastard I just think it’s shit, though I will say that I do partake in the guilty pleasure of Two Scuffed and DougDoug. But I wouldn’t feel particularly bad if every bit of generative AI spontaneously corrupted and could never be replicated, generally feels like a money sink for dipshit corporations at this point.

Because they are dumb assholes? I grew up around folks who jury rigged speakers into the back of their trucks for camping and the worst they got was blaring freebird on the highway, it used to take work to be that guy now someone can just play some obnoxious trash in the restaurant with no work whatsoever.
- Comment on A 2003 complaint about Half Life 2 1 week ago:
Uncompressed audio and way too many mods with unique assets, also I think something duplicated a bunch of random assets. I’ve tried to fix it but noooo apparently duped ruble13 is load bearing. But hey at least it doesn’t CTD so there’s that, ignore NPCs just not spawning and some terrain just not appearing note this is not due to conflicts it fits when I restart the game and I don’t know if it’s the SSD or not.

Yeah I don’t see the problem here.
- Comment on Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brand 1 week ago:
The only game that I know of that tackles war as a psychological thing is Spec Ops the Line which is a brilliant game that is now delisted on steam for reasons. Regardless I do think the reason war is rarely shown in such a way is that the artistry (for lack of a better term) is relatively hard to balance between story and gameplay. Not even getting into how hard it is to tell such a story, making True Grit 1969 is a lot easier than making True Grit 2010.

Postal 2 is on the list if nothing else. Also I remember back when I was like 5 seeing it on an old TV video game focused channel where they went over it and then Hulk ultimate destruction.

How dare you call me literate my accent is actively fucking me over with swapping As and Os. Also I am tech literate for old broken shit, I actively hate my phone because I can barely use it. Mostly because it spits me at every instance fuck you machine spirit! I don’t want you to give me the news you are an over glorified MP3 player half the time!

- Comment on Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp 1 week ago:
Depending on how much is linked up between them its entirely possible each machine is basically independent from each other and simply sharing the same casing. The advantage of this would be that even if one machine goes out or is having issues the other ones hopefully aren’t. I watch enough Bringus to know that shit under the hood for these commercial machines are fucking weird.

Why history? If a woman came up toe and started talking about bronze age trade routes and the contributing factors for the fall of the Indus valley civilization I’d be more than happy. Wait the guy who made this is a gormless pissant, astrology is a red flag.

Skyrim on 360 was even more painful. Hope ya like 10 minutes of chicken loading screen. My laptop back then couldn’t run Skyrim but it could run NV rather well.

Could be worse, my first playthrough was the PS3 version. Which to say was a scuffed introduction would be an understatement, though luckily I was able to get the ultimate edition at Walmart discounted on August 13 2012 according to my steam profile. Which I am now realizing means I put up with PS3 NV for nearly 2 years fucking hell, kid me had a high tolerance for bullshit.
