this should be good thing but instead it just means any people replaced will have harder time surviving. Our society across the planet is fucking broken if technological advancement means things get worse for people because of it.

ask your patients where they are getting their stuff from, that way you will also know what places are more popular than others.

maybe fire in classical alchemy is more like energy than just fire. I wonder what other elements are if you extend that logic to them

was ebaulmsworld something that was before digg?

you should define the word rich better in this context. Personally I have started to think word "rich" as negative thing, someone who has more than they need at expense of others, but I dont think that is very common way to think.

isnt lying to court felony?

millions of people who use emojis would constantly see it. It would slowly start to feel more familiar to them and increase its acceptance. If that works, others would try to do the same and we would have every and any company put their logos in. If it doesnt then it doesnt matter that much, but i dont want to risk yet another avenue for corporations to worm into peoples minds.

Personally i dont care about emojis at all but i do care about general mentalspace.

so if someone bullys someone else and victim finally snaps and starts hitting the bully with a knife, that is completely ok in your book because bully deserved it? Or bully's relatives because regular people in palestine arent ones shooting the missiles nor do they likely have much say in it.

if we just comply and accept all this shit, next step will be ramping up the things that make people want to buy these stupid microtransactions. In context of dragons dogma examples could be making rift crystal gain so awful you have to grind for them, making class changes cost rift crystals, making more items that you can only get with real money.

And most of all, this is SINGLE PLAYER, if someone isnt disgusted by these kinds of microtransactions in this game on principle, I dont even know anymore what to say.

But as silverlining for all this shit, at least greedy executives will see making games more challenging as profitable thing to do. Though unfortunately it will likely also mean challenge will come from having to do a lot of unfun stuff to get anywhere vs pay money so you dont have to because people who make these decisions only care about money and people will give it to them and defend them for it no matter what.

I wonder if being able to generate music will make people less interested in actually bothering to learn how to do it themselves. Having ai tool makes many things so much easier and you need to have only rudimentary understanding of the subject.

I just try to act like these firms dont exist. I wont even open amazons website, but even if i did and couldn't find something anywhere else, i would just consider that item to not be available for purchase anywhere. I also refuse to receive anything that I can see is related to companies like these even for free, if its reasonable to do so and even then reluctantly. Nestle is fucking annoying about this since they actively try to hide their name under other brands they have control over.

"fine dining" is mostly just status symbol, though there are also expensive places that are also equally as good in quality. But a lot of it is just way to get money out of those who have so much income they throw it away for fun.
