Well yeah, if you turn down a woman, she’s going to tell her friends about it.
And those friends probably won’t be interested in starting a relationship with you any time soon.

Those secret whisper campaigns sound straight out of a teenage movie, and not at all how mature people behave. I’d say you dodged a bullet in that case.

Your anecdotal experience is not representative of everyone else’s though, and neither is mine.

I don’t appreciate you resorting to personal attacks to convey your beliefs, so this will be my last reply.

Men reject women all the time, with no societal repercussions.

You have the right to not give someone a second chance, nobody is taking that away from you. I’m just saying the world isn’t always as shallow as your comments portray it to be.

Rejecting someone doesn’t mean you have decided you can do better, or that you aren’t attracted to them. It means at that exact moment in time you weren’t prepared to enter that relationship.

If you get mocked for rejecting a woman, you’re either still in school, or need to get some better friends. Because no sane, rational people would ever think less of you for who you do/don’t date.

It’s understandable why you would feel that way.

People change all the time though.
Perhaps after some of those relationships, they found personality/stability to be more important than looks.

Or maybe they’ve spent years regretting the decision, and the short relationships along the way failed because nobody could compare to you.

Or maybe they genuinely are as shallow as you think, and you’re the last resort in the dating pool.

You can never really know for sure.

No no no, you have it all wrong. Microsoft said it wasn’t their fault!
Please ignore the fact that you can fix the issue by rolling back the windows update that causes it.

Oh no, not “the” government of “the” nation

Are those cold/frozen fries?

Nah, I still enjoy the content, and it wouldn’t make a grain of difference as far as global wasted energy goes.

If you really are concerned about wasted energy though, you shouldn’t be on your computer/phone browsing lemmy.

Or if you use adblock and stream at 4k, google will lose money when you watch videos. Free content while fucking google over is a win win in my book.

I doubt many people outside the US have any clue about whether the US justice system needs to be restructured, so there goes ~95% of the global population.

Excluding people from discussions because they don’t agree with ‘one’ point is setting yourself up for failure.
You aren’t winning anyone over with an all-or-nothing attitude, you’re cutting off many potential allies.

Not enough AI. Gotta use the webcam+AI to set the timezone to one that’s most frequently used by people of whatever ethnicity it thinks you are.

Because you and everyone else in the world are american and must know about everything every american public figure has ever done.

No. No I shouldn’t.

Well if we say the doctor was getting paid a very generous $300 an hour for that work, that’s $450.
Plus seeing the front desk person for a few minutes, we’ll give a generous $50.
So that’s $500 for some very well paid employees.
We’ll throw another very generous $50 in for the antibiotics, making it $550.
Double it so the hospital can take a very large cut, and your total is $1100.

So even leaving massive profit margins with those numbers, you still got ripped off an extra ~$5000.

Not just Europe, most of the world

No, a gaming pc ‘can’ use 750 watts. But it won’t be using 750 watts 100% of the time.
Power supplies only draw what they need, not their full rated capacity.

GPU’s also downclock and lower their power draw when they aren’t being stressed to their limits.

Lunch breaks cut 30-60 minutes out of those 8 hours.

And that article estimated 5000 employees internationally, which includes management, marketing, programmers, visual artists, musicians, sound engineers, voice actors, qa, translators, external consultants/contractors, and many more.
These are all people who have helped make the game at some point, and does not mean these people were in-office or employed for the entire development process.

Very few of those roles require top-end machines, and even fewer require their systems to be running at full speed 100% of the time.

What? No. That would be crazy.

I write BDFPR from the bottom.
Though I’m also a heretic who starts G from the middle, so don’t listen to me.

But its not 230 murders per 100,000. It’s 289 murders total, for the entire population that year.
0.233 out of 100,000 were murdered.
That’s 0.000233% of 100,000 people.

Callbacks and decorators are fine, but callbacks/decorators to a function which itself takes a function pointer and returns another function pointer are crazy.

I’ve thankfully never had to use recursive callbacks or decorators, but it seems like it could very quickly become difficult to keep track of.
