@bankr_ssh @wanted4mogging Spirals are popular in nature, but the golden spiral is not.
English
@wanted4mogging Well it is the basis of reality. Maximum stability, hierarchical, recursive, low/high energy states, has its own algebra. Its geometry causes topologically protected discrete resonances through entropy minimization.

@AntoniGusto @ww3mediaa Passing a bus with its stop signs out is a minimum $1000 fine and can come with up to 12 months in jail in my state. Do you think Tesla would cover that for you?
English
@ww3mediaa It did not fail at all. It reacted immediately. So best possible outcome in this situation. What did you expect? It needed to predict something you can not see or should it have broken the laws of physics to magically stop or jump or teleport?

@CrunchyCatLegs @peterrhague They'd be a couple centuries closer to being historically accurate if they wheeled out a cannon.

@ASithLawd @KungFuMan316 You sound like the kind of person who's so fragile you get upset when people order food you don't like at restaurants.
English
@KungFuMan316 Because this game does not exist in a vacuum and people are tired of "Man Bad, pick a Lesbian instead" games.
Make games for your target audience rather than weird people with cuck fantasies. That's how you make money.
English
Looking up this game, apparently the story is he's an alcoholic emotionally abusive asshole, and his wife left him long ago.
She's on a planet where due to time dilation, a whole centuries have has passed and she's moved on with a woman
He accepts he's a fuckup and to do better

> Fights through 9 worlds to get his wife back > His wife cuckolds him with a lesbian Most pathetic loser in gaming 💀

Hi. Restaurant and coffee shop owner here.
Almond milk runs 2.2x the cost of whole milk.
Oat milk is 2.4x, macadamia is 4x and soy is ~2x.
We charge more because it costs us more, not because all of us are engaged in a rightwing plot against people who prefer alternatives.
Daniel Aldana Cohen@aldatweets
It’s just incredibly rightwing and wrong. And while we’re at it, oat milk tastes good. But compared to soy, its such a scam.
English
@queerBengali I prolly qualify as far left and find the ignorance staggering. There's a lot of delusional small business owners out there, but it's because constantly being on the edge of financial ruin due to the whims of the market makes one prone to magical thinking. This ain't that.
English
This is why I called the far left fringes mentally unwell.
Who the fuck thinks a coffee shop owner is yatch class?
You have to be severely removed from reality.
Jason,@jasonc_nc
Yes, after each coffee shop reaches its one year anniversary we all gather and help the owner pick out their yacht. Nothing like that first store yacht, the fifth one just doesn’t hit the same.

@AynTalleyrand @Carolin76680444 @TheJBear The scary chemical names in this list are just vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, and C.

I could walk into Publix and show you the bread selection in the bakery, but you'd just cope and seethe and shift the goalposts because that's what yuropoors do

@fraxinusleaf @TheJBear The scary chemical names in enriched flour are just B vitamins and iron.
English
@TheJBear The bread looks pretty, the ingredient label terrifying
English
@mazst @Recursion_Agent Those were phased out by most companies voluntarily years ago. I can't find it in the ingredients list for even the cheapest, most additive filled breads they sell at my local grocery store.
English
@Carolin76680444 @TheRealKitty019 They usually have both the gross Americanized French/Italian bread and fresh baked baguettes that are at least mediocre. There's literally hundreds of bread products an an American grocery store.
English
@TheRealKitty019 "Italian" and "French" breads in most US supermarkets are just Wonder bread derivatives. No crust, no chew, and chock-full of chemicals no one should be eating (including RoundUp, as we've recently found out).
English
Not to defend Americans here, but… no. They have in-store bakeries, ones as if not more varied and skilled as European ones.
Yes I know that wonderbread is the meme stereotype for American bread but come on, man.

@soupslaps @Chris_Mench A third of the stuff on grocery shelves in the US is overpriced "all natural" products because part of the population has overshot so far in the opposite direction that they think dihydrogen monoxide gives you cancer.
English
@Chris_Mench Americans are literally brainwashed to believe that ultra processed flower that's stripped of any nutrients is better.
English
The average American is more accepting of low-quality packaged/processed foods, but the idea that we don't have stuff like ~fresh bread~ is so weird?? I frequent a Price Chopper supermarket in a working class part of upstate New York and it has a live lobster tank, like come on.

@tomasheard @jasonc_nc Aseptic and organic milk are specialty products. Store brand whole milk at my local grocery store is only $0.03/fl oz, which is probably close to the wholesale cost because milk is a loss leader for grocery stores.
English
@jasonc_nc When I search wholesale milk suppliers, the ones I find sell plant milks for ~$0.10/fl oz, only 20% more than cow milk, <10c difference per coffee
English
@Nerdcognito This is such a D&D-brained take. The more mature RPG design philosophy is to ensure all rolls are meaningful and failure is interesting. Systems in this school of thought tend to be the opposite of "expect nothing but success." Play some other games, it'll make you a better GM.
English
Modern Gamers that expect nothing but success, we'll ask so you don't have to:
"WhY aLLoW tHe RoLL iN The FiRsT PlAcE?"
Think about it for a little bit, respect your players decisions and agency, and get back to us.

@jonR1939056 @prfctsweetie I don't understand what this means. I live in the metro Atlanta area, an incredibly car-centric suburban sprawl, and I'm basically always within 5 minutes of at least 1 grocery store (more often 2 or 3) with a bakery. "Downtown" is half an hour away.

@JustaLlama88 @YungTacoTuesday @EgoLayer13 @hoodii30 The growth is mostly from mobile games and ads in mobile games oddly enough. It's like 65% of spending. The games you feel like were taken from you were always going to end up on the back burner regardless of cultural trends because mass market phone slop is much more profitable.
English
@Iraski @YungTacoTuesday @EgoLayer13 @hoodii30 None of that from games she helped promote or consultated in mostly from indie.

No she didn't nigga who the fuck even is that I still enjoy video games

@pandafresh @riskylew Name me one FPS game which you believe influenced the vocational decisions of a 45 year old secret service agent.
Because if you’re about to tell me that decades of playing Goldeneye 007 formed the career of a highly skilled government shooter, then I’d recommend logging off.
English
We live in a LARP society. All of their body language, mannerisms - the childlike thrill of getting to aimlessly yell "MOVE MOVE MOVE" like a Call of Duty NPC - have been laser-ingrained into their brains from decades of FPSs + action movies where they're all the main character.
