What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?
  • That is always confusing to me. If I am on a bus stop: "This bus" doesn't make sense, it doesn't exist yet. Next bus, is the next occurance of event "Bus".

    If it's Wednesday, the "this Friday" doesn't really make sense. There doesn't exist a Friday in Wednesday, that you call this. Next Friday however is quite clear - it's next occurrence of event "Friday" on the timeline, so it's the one in two days.

  • You wouldn’t get it
  • Can you please give me an example - let's say I have a big list of numbers and I need to find how many times each number is there.

    I would expect a mutable dictionary/map and a single pass through. How would you do that without mutable datastructure?

  • A great example of misrepresentation.

    It's as actively killing anyone as ground actively kills people who jump out of airplane.

    Should it be there? No. Is it safe? No.

    But painting it as an "actively killing people" is misrepresentation of other group point of view. Thank you for a great example.

  • Millions of people on the bus. Some vote to drive to place A. Some want to drive to place B. Neither is the cliff. But both A voters and B voters are using the bus-cliff false analogy to manipulate people to vote for their option.

    In reality the chance that your vote would even affect the result is nearly zero.

  • Last Epoch asks if you want broken, OP builds to be fixed or not
  • Honestly, no. I guess the biggest difference is as a father of 3, I have like 5 hours to play in a week. And I want to enjoy some of the power.

    Diablo 4 shows what happenels when you nerf builds midcycle - you are in a constant cycle of "I finally reached the power level of the top build, people are playing for week, finally I can enjoy it, oh they nerfed it the very same day, but here is another build I have to spend my week farming to, repeat for weeks, stop playing"

    Enjoyment of power level > some potential variance of builds I never would care or have time to play.

  • ‘Doctor Who’ Star Millie Gibson to Be Replaced by Varada Sethu After One Season
  • He wasnt beloved? Really?

    I remember him often taken a good chunk of people to consider him the best doctor.

    I ve just recently rewatched first reboot season and while the show shows age and low budget, his doctor is absolutely amazing, he is so naturally alien-quirky.

  • Pewdiepie is a piece of shit and may be way more so, but it absolutely is irrelevant for the case of abusing DMCA system. They can adjust their stance, they can say "we are fine with everyone but pdp streaming and letsplaying our game", but it's absolutely not OK to first allow that and afterwards issue DMCA

  • [Steam] Firewatch ($1.99 / 90% off)
  • It was because some shit streamer did something bad in a completely unrelated stream of a completely unrelated game. But this does not justify abusing DMCA system after they gave permission before

  • What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish?
  • Wow, target audience for settlement building actually exist! It was always a point of frustration to me, I build necessary minimum for some quests and that's it, partially being sad that they could've put those resources to make main loop of Fallout part of the game better
