Without Epic, World of Goo 2 would not exist.
Sure it would. "wow, this publisher sponsored their development" - that's cool, but that's literally their purpose and there are hundreds of other publishers though. If epic had never existed, they would simply have gotten the same service from another damn publisher.
That'd be fair, except motherfuckers can't stop talking about it for literally 2 seconds even if it's so long in the past so I guess it's safe to say every dog remembers 9/11.
She explained that I am a "Boomer bitch". She hates that she will have to share a bedroom. She hates her dad is getting remarried. She hates the dress she has to wear at the wedding. She hates that everyone except her loves her stepmother to be. She hates her stepsisters are prettier. She hates everything.
Oh, go fuck yourself you self-absorbed shithead. What a cunty way to behave, Jesus fuck. No wonder people beat their kids. I didn't get it before, but now I support it - hit them while they're fucking young, beat the stupid out of them before you make them someone else's problem.
Goddamn, imagine being at a wedding and having this insufferable prick next to you and not 'accidentally' spilling the ketchup bottle all over her.
Apple has been delaying intelligence for a while now.
If you choose boney chicken wings over sucking dick three times of day for delicious human protein, you too should be stabbed in the throat.
I wonder how in the fuck some people just wake up one day and decide to themselves "today I'm gonna be retarded".
Yo, humans need to get medieval on these reptilian motherfuckers. Make them stand under the bones of 2 billion boneless chicken. If they are human, they will survive. If they are corporate shills, they will die. As they should.
when she invited him to a lunch in September 2020, “to get some peace” from him sending “lots of messages” - he declined her offer.
Ms Gasparova told the tribunal this was because “lunch involved romance and he only wanted sex”.
Oh, honey. You're really gonna say the man is crazy about you but doesn't wanna go out with you in the same breath?
My bad, I didn't know we were building our own 'ship of Theseus' argument. I'm out, smarter people than me can discuss that one.
It's the same algorithm. It has the same purpose and the same result. It has simply been updated and improved. And it most likely still relies on certain markers that can measure how much a post will be engaged with and who will do it, except those markers are now less primitive and harder for us to define.
We're arguing semantics. This has always been the purpose of a social network: to keep you addicted to it. To keep you interacting with it. They don't make money if you're not there to click their ads, to look at their sponsored videos, to be marketed towards. Did they do it as well 10 years ago as they do it today? No, of course not. But you were still being targeted with posts that would "do well" with your gender, your age group, your location etc. They haven't changed one little bit of their business model.
So what are we talking about here? Some guy discovered 10 years down the road that a company wants you to keep using their website/service/app/whatever, but he thinks 10 years ago that company was - what? More scrupulous? More genuine?
Nah, man. It was always the same. They just got better at their jobs. And - fuck me, it sounds like they were pretty good at their jobs even 10 years ago: they managed to keep Joe Slow scrolling for an entire decade.
People HAVE BEEN voting with their wallets. Nobody's out there buying 5000 games they don't wanna play, people are already buying only what they want. The problems is, all it takes to sustain a shitty game is a few fucking whales that none of us can compare to. Or a lot of people buying into the hype of a well-liked IP releasing a new game. Or a million other ways to get the fucking money without getting your money or mine.
So we can keep on voting with our wallets, but let's also try to control this cunty behavior from companies at government level instead of basically "thoughts and prayers".
