The first round was the only hope Tyson had. By the third round he was just standing there eating punches. The fight ended with Tyson landing something like 18 punches in an 18 minute fight.
- Comment on Do gangs "jump in" new recruits? Or is that just for movies and tv shows? If so why do they do that kinda seems anti productive. 6 days ago:
Steven Hassan was a former member of the Moonies cult that obtained a PhD in psychology after being deprogrammed and has written books on the psychology of cult recruiting. Interestingly, he points out that the same tactics are often used by organizations that aren’t cults. I highly recommend reading one of his books!
- Comment on CNN panel stunned into silence as Republican pundit tells them the 'unadulterated truth' about Trump's election victory 2 weeks ago:
They’re just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids, and they feel like they have been told to just shut up when they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives
This applies to everyone. It applies to the immigrants Trump wants to deport. It applies to the trans people Trump wants to deny care to. It applies to the people Trump wants to jail for being enemies within. Trump badmouths people trying to live their lives literally on a daily basis.
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 3 weeks ago:
The requirement for a steady paycheque is what keeps everyone working in terrible conditions. I’m lucky enough that I’ve always had a lot in savings and it has come in handy a few times. Twice I’ve walked off a job and never went back after failing to negotiate proper working conditions with the boss. Both times I burned through about $10,000 in savings while searching for a new job. Almost nobody has that much saved up. If they did, terrible bosses would lose employees on the regular.
- Comment on The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t downvote but personally I’m not sure what’s dystopian about fewer people reading long, dense books and choosing to consume other, shorter media instead. It’s like saying less people watching opera is dystopian. What’s the problem with a medium becoming unpopular?

- Comment on The feds are coming for John Deere over the right to repair: The farm equipment giant has fought against letting farmers repair their own equipment for years 4 weeks ago:
How are they still in business? Every single farmer, bar none, has to know about their business practices
Wendover Productions has a decent video on John Deere’s market dominance. tl;dw It’s by cutthroat capitalism of course.
John Deere has bought out all their competitors and continues to do so. Every single breakthrough in farming equipment technology in the last decade is owned by John Deere. As a farmer, you either choose to sign a one-sided contract with John Deere or you use outdated inefficient equipment that John Deere hasn’t purchased the patent rights to. Or, of course, you sell your farm all together. Large corporate farms don’t care much about the John Deere contract since they have the power to negotiate a better deal. A lot of small farmers have been making the choice to sell out.
Soon, all farming will be done by one megacorp, buying their seed from Monsanto, using John Deere equipment, and cashing in a ridiculously fat subsidy cheque from the government.

- Comment on California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it 1 month ago:
You don’t own anything you purchase on Steam
Games sold on Steam are not required to use Steam’s DRM. There are lots of DRM free games on Steam. Steam is only required to be installed to purchase/download them but not to run them. After download, the game files can be copied and ran on any computer without any verification.

- Comment on How can you make sure the ashes you get after a loved one dies is actually theirs? 1 month ago:
I was a funeral director in Ontario, Canada. The law here is that the contract you sign with the crematorium will have a cremation number which will be stamped into a metal disk and that disk will be placed with the remains. After cremation, the disk will be in the cremated remains. People who receive the cremated remains can check that the number on the disk matches the number on the contract they signed.
This system stops honest mistakes but nothing stops people from intentionally swapping disks. Say a funeral home worker is filling urns with a batch of cremated remains they recieved from the crematorium. They accidentally put remains A into the urn for family B and remains B into the urn for family A. The worker should swap the remains…but swaping the disks is easier. Most people I’ve worked with would do the right thing but the system still relies on people being honest.

- Comment on Concord Director Steps Down As Studio Behind Historic PlayStation Flop Waits For Sony's Decision 1 month ago:
It’s crazy that they released it. They had early access and preorders and those only attracted something like 1,000 players. This is a game that had a $100 million budget. So few players during the early stages should have told the studio to cancel it while it was still in production. Apparently they thought they’d release it and would just jump from 1,000 players to 100,000 overnight with no changes.

In the “other references” they link to the bulbapedia article for Pokemon box so I figured thats what the whole thing was about, but yeah it does read like accessing data on a server

My guess is the “Pokemon Box Storage” system since palworld stores pals in a palbox.

I used to Reddit for memes, lulz and banter but they killed my preferred app and turned the site to shit so I bounced to the alternative, but in the last year this place is becoming increasingly fuckin negative
I have the same experience. It’s even worse because I do Linux and FOSS and privacy and vegetarian but make a comment or post at your peril because people love to downvote and argue over literally everything.

- Comment on 'Best' jobs for college grads.. most paying unlivable wages. 2 months ago:
Working at a fast-food restaurant obviously isn’t a “real” job! At least nobody “smart” works there! Those types of jobs are just for the lower cast of society and unbecoming of a college graduate!
But seriously, we all need to treat fast-food workers better, as well as any other “unskilled” job. The idea that they’re meant to be bad jobs is what keeps them bad jobs. There should be nothing wrong with a college graduate working any job full-time. Just because a cashier isn’t going to use calculus to do their job doesn’t mean anyone who took a math course is overqualified. Everyone being well educated makes society better.

This is so important to you that the government must be petitioned to act but you don’t have a single example? Did you purchase Concord? Have you ever purchased a game that no longer works? Why do you think you have the right to tell the devs what they should be doing if you didn’t buy their game?
