Are you saying that the data has no value just because you can’t touch it?

It’s a company that targets kids. Their prices are ludicrous
How does any of this make a difference?
Also for a company targeting kids there sure are a lot of whiny adults in these conversations.

Why is everyone pretending like they have a right to play Nintendo games? Nintendo says they want $X, you say their game isn’t worth $X, so you get something different instead. What’s the problem?

What’s even more funny is that you’re downvoted into oblivion, while Iheartcheese @lemmy.world gets praise for the same stance.

I guess “Fuck around and find out” doesn’t apply here.
Don’t forget to mention bootlicking in your replies, lemmys.

If a user doesn’t want to see an English post, accurately tagging your post allows them to filter it. So it’s a matter of being nice, but not strictly necessary to tag your post correcly.
- Comment on Does 'attempted murder' require a viable method? 1 month ago:
Depends on your jurisdiction. In Germany, the bar for murder is one of [1]:
- an [inner] desire to kill
- killing for sexual reasons
- greed
- “other despicable motivations”
and one of:
- cruelty
- insidiousness
- using “tools dangerous for public safety”
- the motivation to conceal or enable another crime.
In my layman’s understanding, pressing the button checks the ‘insidious’ box, since it is not at all expectable by the victim.
As for the first set of conditions, it would probably be down to a court ruling if the person checked the ‘desire to kill’ box (as I understand it, they wouldn’t) or the ‘other despicable motivations’ box – is killing for no reason a despicable reason?

Replacing Jupiter with an equally massive black hole shouldn’t make a difference. We’d only have one bright dot less in the night sky.

Unsubstantiated claim: Any set of rules that aim at distributing money according to some merit can be exploited in a way that those who get the most money are not those providing the most value.

another charge slapped on for lying to law enforcement
Context for Germany: You’re allowed to lie to law enforcement.
- Comment on Why are there silly license requirements? 2 months ago:
In Germany we have a law enforcement level below the police called “Ordnungsamt” (I’m not going to try to translate that). They are in charge of these minor misdemeanors (like parking wrong, littering, speeding, etc.) It’s entirely possible that their patrols randomly check dog owners, but personally I’ve never heard of that.

Thanks for catching that. I’m sure there must be a fish-specific term that’s eluding me.
- Comment on Why are there silly license requirements? 2 months ago:
Reasons for a license to fish (from a German perspective):
- You want people who fish to know when they can and cannot fish due to the fish’s recreation periods.
- You want people to know which kinds of fish they should and should not catch, in general.
- You want people to know how big a certain kind of fish needs to be before it can be extracted.
- You want a general overview of the number of people fishing in a general area to monitor overfishing.
License to have a dog:
- Costs a certain amount of money each month. This funds public cleaning of dog poop and free dog poop bags.
Lincense for a GMRS radio:
- To prevent too many people from crowding in the same channel.
- To be able to identify assholes who jam a channel with their broadcasts.

What a high it was when I did titration in high school and managed to get so close that the liquid appeared colorless unless you held a white sheet of paper next to it.
It was tinted, but just barely.

- Comment on Is the Nintendo Switch 2 the end of innovative consoles? 2 months ago:
I think you’re blowing things out of proportion. None of the handhelds after the Gameboy were innovative. The GameCube didn’t bring anything new. The Wii U was just a beefed-up Wii.
So every other console has been the previous generation, but better.

Each their own or is there some partnership thingy going on? Or weekly rotations?
Or is it one big mandatory circular anus-washing meeting ‘to get to know each other’?

That’s boring. Two ears only allow you to put the sound somewhere on a plane (the vertical one that cuts your body in half lengthwise). How do you know the ‘height’ of the sound on that plane? By utilizing the different distortions the sound goes through while being funneled through your auricle.

That’s not the virtue you think it is.
