This is true, but it’s not the only factor. Staying private allows a company to not be predatory, but it definitely does not guarantee it - it simply allows the executives to choose. It’s the combination of Valve being private and Gaben always staying true to his values despite his incredible wealth that gave us Steam in its current form.

I’ve known plenty of private companies that were as shitty as a public one, or more. Quality executives are vanishingly rare, particularly at this level of company value.

The Sagrada Familia, yeah. It’s… pretty big, they’re hoping to finish it in the 2030s. (Construction started in the 1800s though, maybe there’s an even older one idk about?)

In general maybe not, in these lemmy spaces absolutely.

I will be disappointed if it’s not this guy

Thanks for the link to Tagger, I’ve been looking for something like that. Looks like I have some library cleanup to do, I’ve been putting it off for years now lmao

I was literally going to say crystal sage before I read your full post. I’ve never once gotten through a DS3 run without dying several times to him, and I’ve probably played a dozen or more times. Even with the throwing knives cheese.

Yeah, that one’s a Mormon thing. The rule only covers coffee and tea if you want to be pedantic about it, though there are many ‘spirit of the law’ type people who avoid caffeine entirely.

Lol the way the article talks about this particular verse - “In a literal sense this verse seems to describe surviving a gunshot to the head…”

This dude knew all the way back in 2020

Is the user base on lemmy really large enough to warrant an AI bot to shill payday loans? Like, come on man, let us have nice things for once in this goddamn hellscape of an internet.

Costco is unique in its food court prices, they must be heavy into loss leader territory at this point. It was a really good deal back before covid, and these days it’s basically daylight robbery compared to anywhere else.

Not only that, but the food kiosks (at my local location, anyway) don’t scan your costco membership either, so you can just walk in the exit and get some food without signing up.

I’m glad people still remember this, I immediately heard it in my head when I saw this post

Or in my case, wake up with a blinding migraine every day

This is a great write-up, thanks for your take.

Hey, I just set this up yesterday! Worked flawlessly for me so far, seems like a great project.

Humanity always seems to learn the wrong lessons from historical events, doesn’t it? Hurt people hurt people, I guess…

I disagree honestly, the context made it very clear what was meant here, and was a proper use of the word imo.

I personally had a lot of luck save-scumming by savequitting the game and copying the files elsewhere at every holy mountain. (there are scripts floating around that make this easier) Then when I died, I could revisit that area without risking much progress, and it made the game much more fun while I tried to scale the truly formidable learning curve.

Nowadays I feel much more comfortable just doing normal runs, so I guess I ‘graduated’ lol, some understanding of the wand-building goes wayyyyy further than I expected.

Perhaps alt left?

Excellently put.

It wasn’t always, and it’s not explicitly a trans sub, but yeah it’s definitely been very trans-oriented since well before we migrated here from reddit
