I’m playing on Steam on my PC! And it’s available on Switch as well. If you’re ever curious to play. It’s not the most innovative metroidvania ever made, but the art, setting, and story are fun.

And yeah, I guess I can totally see an owl being the big bad villain of any forest from the perspective of a creature like Ori haha

Do they serve any sensory function the way antenna do? Or are they just decorative?

(They are cool, gotta admit. I love the classic GHO look)

Ok, now I am never going to be able to look at a barn owl again without seeing this lol.

(Also, I’m working my way through the Ori video game series. Not sure how I feel about barn owls being used as the big bad… Barn owls seem pretty cool.)

Sure thing, troll ✌️

He looks like everyone’s drunk uncle haha

I’m not reading the manual of the Uber I’m about to climb into. A firefighter isn’t going to read the manual of a car they’re trying to pry me out of.

I DO read the manual on the Kia I actually drive. To read about the recommendations for the tires. To read about replacing fuses. To find the load hauling capacity. Not how to open the fucking door.

safety shouldn’t influence artistic choice

Did you really just string those words together in all seriousness without a hint of irony? And that folks is exactly why we need the NHTSA.

A child isn’t going to find that. A rescuer who isn’t familiar with Teslas isn’t going to be able to find that.

I couldn’t even figure out how to open a fully functional door from outside the first time I got in a Tesla. I’m an adult who’s been driving my entire life.

That’s not innovation; it’s a safety hazard for the sake of the aesthetics of a handle that doesn’t stick out. I don’t view that as a reasonable trade-off.

Uber wouldn’t have been able to keep customers if big name, well-established taxi companies had really tried to compete with them. Middle aged adults (like me) would not have been inclined to jump into a stranger’s car no matter how cheap it was, if it was just as easy to get a licensed cab.

Multiple companies could have pooled resources to fund developing an app that they all used. They have existing inventory, employees, local government connections. They definitely could have outcompeted Uber if they had been able to get their heads out of their asses and even try.

Instead they ignorantly tried to kill Uber by suppressing innovation and service improvements that everyone wanted, which was doomed to fail from the start. They dug their own graves on this one.

Only took the cab companies ten years to catch on to what they should have done as soon as Uber came on the scene. If cab companies had innovated like this, they would have killed Uber in the cradle.

I just wanna say that I appreciate the hell out of you.

Pharma companies are basing pricing for these one-time-in-a-life-dose drugs on supply and demand principles. There will never be high demand for these drugs because the conditions are so rare. And only needing to be dosed once for a complete lifetime cure means that there is no recurrent payment happening the way you would have with a drug that needed to be dosed repeatedly over a lifetime.

You’ll hear all the usual excuses about “muh R&D costs 😭😭” but the truth is they’re pricing it this way because they can. Because somewhere in the bible of capitalism, this is the way things work.

(R&D costs are just an excuse for greed: https://www.treatmentactiongroup.org/resources/tagline/tagline-fall-2018/pharma-lies-people-die-myth-busting-fact-sheet-on-medicine-development-and-pricing/)

It’s illegal to ask you not to discuss wages in the United States. Violation of federal labor law.

OP is in Denmark, so no recluse spiders there lol.

I mean, yes. People are stupid. That’s why we have safety regulations. This court case is about a lack of safety regulations.

“Person watches X creative and clearly fictional content” is not analogous in any way to “person watches X video essay crafted to look like a documentary, but actually just full of lies and propaganda”

Don’t be ridiculous

Fucking genius badass. Hence my username.

Maybe read that comment a little closer there.
