@Wildreamz @Maxxell Even if you have majority of a company's shares, if you go public, shareholders can sue you for not working in their interests

@Maxxell “The investors are now forcing Roblox's hand to start becoming profitable or face potential hostile takeovers.” No evidence of that. In fact, it’s impossible because Dave has majority voting rights.

It makes sense when you realize how spoiled Roblox players are compared to literally any other platform. No other platform can even remotely compare to what Roblox has. Full custom avatar system. Hundreds of thousands of games to play. Voice chat. Create your own games for free. Create UGC accessories. Make money. Make potentially millions of dollars off your work. And a moderation system to make this entire network of things possible. All of this, and the company is not profitable. They report losses every year. The investors are now forcing Roblox's hand to start becoming profitable or face potential hostile takeovers. The players however are used to having everything they could ever want all in Roblox for very little cost or for free. Literally any action Roblox could take regarding charging for memberships the majority of its playerbase would have an issue with. This is why they will slowly build up the value of Roblox plus over time, to eventually make it such a good deal you can't NOT have it - yes, including rentals of Limited's. Even back in my days of posting on the Roblox forum people then would complain when Roblox does something to boost its revenue (introduction of TBC and OBC for example), yet I have always had a very simple philosophy about this matter: No pay? No play.

@gh0stiesbackup @CokeKnightmare 1. Not posting about it on xitter for internet points 2. Stop ordering internationally if this ends up blowing over

@CokeKnightmare the fuck do i dooooo😭😭😭

@TheBestBroDude @ihuffe85 @GODaZeD Washing machines are required to get their own circuit with 10 gauge wire (14 gauge being the standard). On top of this they also run on 240v circuits which means double the wattage available to be drawn before exceeding the ampacity of the wire compared to a 120v circuit

@ihuffe85 @GODaZeD Isnt a monitor like 60w or less? And a washing machine is around 2000w or more at peak?

@LimeOvrPortland @Prawcin This is why people who like create usually don't just run it on an otherwise vanilla server but on mod packs that reward automation

@Prawcin Technic and Tekkit used to be fun because you needed to industrialize to accomplish something. Modern minecraft has no reason to industrialize or automate anything, and all it does is subtract from the game.

do not play on any modded mc servers with create because some dipshit will make a chunk miner and other automated shit in 2 days and whats the point anymore

@panthurrrr @SoYeahAboutThat @eletricsaberman I used to use numpad for buy binds in CS as well as Minecraft mod packs that have tons of binds with many of them overlapping as well as other miscellaneous things. I fw dedicated numpads but still can't deny that 100%s are more convenient for productivity

@faggotdeer @SoYeahAboutThat @eletricsaberman idk what gamers use numpad for i haven't used one since final fantasy 11 and data entry is very easy solved with layers or just getting a separate numpad that fits more ergonomically on your desk. with the bonus of stowing it when you aren't doing data entry.

Trvke

@SoYeahAboutThat @panthurrrr @eletricsaberman Fr you only need the numpad if you do a lot of data entry. I commonly hear people talking about how they absolutely need the numpad for binds/macros in games, which is solved and also way more convenient with a layer accessed using caps lock

@panthurrrr @eletricsaberman I was surprised with how usable it was. If the firmware had let me not toggle the layers when I pressed control while holding the key fn key to use the layer with arrows, itd have been fine That being said Im quite happy on 65%, and see the case for 75% (its only vertical space)

@orellidagod @mnovendstern They literally do, even getting drunk is an altered state of consciousness

@mnovendstern Ketamine and mdma are drugs they dont alter your consciousness. Lsd is not in the same category.

It’s interesting that the drugs that distribution shift your consciousness — e.g. cannabis, MDMA, ketamine, LSD, adderall, etc. — have wildly different phenomenal effects but share one property: they all make you happier. Almost like any exit from default consciousness makes you happier. Because evolution navigated us into a uniquely unhappy basin for fitness reasons that just no longer apply. Bliss, meanwhile, is all around.

@TotallyNotDrex I think 60%s are sleek and I don't use the numpad enough to miss it

After having used a keyboard without numpad for about a year I've come to the conclusion that they are evil

@PDPCDN1415 @w29494 @xannnabis My buddy had a controlled delivery over 2 grams of molly. The PO called him telling him he could come pick up a "suspicious package" if he wanted. He only orders personal amounts. If he ordered to a PO box they wouldn't even have to call him and they'd just arrest him on pickup

@faggotdeer @w29494 @xannnabis U gotta order a lotta shit to get to that point lol

@w29494 @PDPCDN1415 @xannnabis Using a PO box is not as genius as it seems unless youre more scared of your parents than the law. There's plausible deniability to say the package is unsolicited if its flagged and sent to your house. If you pick up a flagged package from the post office that's an immediate GG

@PDPCDN1415 @xannnabis You just gave me a genius idea, however won’t it still show I have a package coming on informed delivery

@technewsbrowse @elormkdaniel You're probably confusing the number 4. China doesn't have any superstitions about 9, but they do for 4 since their word for 4 sounds almost exactly like their word for death. This goes so far that they either skip 4 for numbering building floors or go 1, 2, 3A, 3B, 5

@elormkdaniel I was told 9 is an unlucky number in china (much like the wests 13, but as china isn’t atheist they take 9 seriously badly). 🤷‍♂️

When Microsoft released Windows 10, they skipped Windows 9 entirely. One widely discussed explanation among developers relates to compatibility with older software. For years, some legacy programs checked the Windows version using simple code that looked for strings like “Windows 95” or “Windows 98.” If Microsoft had released “Windows 9,” those programs might have mistakenly assumed the system was an older Windows 9x version, causing compatibility issues. By jumping straight to Windows 10, Microsoft avoided that confusion. Microsoft also framed it as a symbolic jump representing a major step forward rather than just another incremental upgrade. The story behind Apple skipping iPhone 9 is different and mostly about branding. In 2017, Apple released the iPhone X (pronounced “iPhone ten”) to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the iPhone. Since the company was marking a decade of the device, it made more marketing sense to jump directly from iPhone 8 to iPhone X rather than release an iPhone 9 right before the anniversary model. The missing “9” isn’t a shared conspiracy or secret tech superstition. Microsoft skipped it largely for technical and compatibility reasons, while Apple skipped it mainly for marketing and anniversary branding. Different reasons… same missing number.

@ZeroShift7 @SovaHeart On the same side of the coin of it being legal to draw that weird shit, it's also not illegal to criticize weirdos who draw that shit

@SovaHeart "they draw my animal (furry) porn in a way that makes the characters look like animals (ferals) and even include small animals (cub)! How dare they?!" Like just fucking dont consume the content you dont like, that's how the internet works. Drawing shit isn't illegal my god

Happy to know some artists don't bend the knee to these people

@rozeralxxplayzz @WILANO99 @magarin_q They don't really prescribe real lean anymore, you're thinking of over the counter DXM containing cough medicine, while real lean contains codeine.

@WILANO99 @magarin_q Is that not js cough medicine and sprite 🫩

Easiest drug to make at home #drugtwt

@Jordan1977590 @Designatedkitty Controller already can't compete with m&k if the game doesn't give them aimbot

@Designatedkitty Most retarded take ever. Then a controller could never compete against KBM You can't hipfire with a controller across the map but you can easily on a mouse.

My hottest take is I think aim down sights should be retired as a game mechanic. Only sniper rifles can zoom.

@vozercozer This point is really stupid. Yeah it is a genuine selling point that there's more customization. Just because someone like more of this flexibility, it doesn't make them crazy to criticize people for how they use it lmao

this is why people roll their eyes at the suggestion of using linux. linux users: you can do anything you want with it! *tries to do anything i want like installing discord so i can talk to my friends* linux users: NOOO NOT LIKE THAT ;-;

@6lim6atan 4chan culture has been silently bleeding into the rest of the internet since it first came out lmao. To this day it still shocks me to find out certain memes or sayings that get popularized on tiktok originated on 4chan

Why did you all accept 4chan language into ur daily lingo so easily

@jcoombs3192212 @Bruhnutsbruh @Jaiydanimate Most people's first thought on what a "hard drug" is coke and pills, not psychedelics. Maybe that's what the first message of the thread suggests but I am willing to bet that the comic is almost definitely not referring to psychedelics lol

@Bruhnutsbruh @Jaiydanimate x.com/i/status/20405… Please consult the first message in this thread.

People having this weird superiority complex about being straight-edge are so much more annoying than people who offer u some drinks. Usually people just go "that's cool man" and move on. My gf doesn't drink and Nobody ever makes fun of her, we just, Don't offer her drinks.

@Jaiydanimate As a very big fan of psychedelics, I would no longer ever offer something up to someone if I didn't already know they've tried it in the past. I feel way too guilty about introducing people to weed as a high schooler for it to then become a problem for them

I've been more defensive about this recently bc online there's been such a HUGE "you're cringe if u do drugs and you'll die" response to it and it just feels part of the whole Puritan Right Wing Culture shit that's been seeping into Zoomers in the last few years.

@TheM3ta_ @CS2_Confessions Don't count on surf being fixed any time soon, I just don't believe Valve cares about having it on source 2. If you like surf cs:s was always more competitive for it and there's also Momentum Mod in development and it seems promising

@CS2_Confessions As much as I want to like cs2, it's been like 3 years surf is still half bugged and lake not in the game, I was fine with the game releasing with less content than csgo but I would have expected they'd catch up by now

"when source came out, everyone complained that 1.6 was better. when csgo came out, everyone complained that source was better. cs2 is better than csgo in almost every aspect, but yall just want to complain, just like you did at the end of csgo."

@WHLeavitt Not only did he continue mag dumping after he wasn't a threat anymore, it was incredibly stupid to shoot when he was literally on top of the victim. It would honestly be a miracle if he didn't end up shooting a couple rounds into the victim as well

A cop rescues a woman from a knife-point rape attempt by taking out the perpetrator. Do you stand with this cop on this? A. Hell yeah B. Nah.
