The point stands, they're not willing to make something that could go in an ROG Ally, for example.

The rog ally probably won't sell a million units. The switch will sell 100 million. The switch is the mobile market, like it or not.

False, it's whomever pays at all. I don't know if you've looked at online advertising costs, but their very affordable. We aren't talking super bowl ads.

mine is "whomever wants" unless you're arguing that online advertising is prohibitively expensive. I'd just have to disagree with that.

In your case it's "whomever is approved" which is a far, far cry from "anyone who wants".

Online ads use an instant auction to sell space. They literally are "whomever will pay the most", so no, not false.

Each ad placement is small cost, but your placement, frequency, and reach is absolutely dictated by how much money you spend.

The baking is a science meme needs to die.

When your baking you need to learn to react to the dough that's in front of you.

As someone who was a professional baker for years, agree. Baking very much has intuition and art like qualities. It's just less forgiving of loose measurements until you know what you are doing.

Cooking is art. Baking is science.

They are both art and both science.

Spam is a hell of a lot harder to make than cake mix. Cake mix is literally just measuring, and what was in the box when your mom made it isn't from the same suppliers, or probably of the same quality, as what's in the box now.

What's in the box is unknown to most people. Unknowable, even. They are surprisingly complex mixes.

Same people who have flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, milk ‐ pasta, rice, potatoes, ya know, food.

I don't eat a whole bag of rice with every meal. I have a plastic tub. Buy rice, fill tub, remove potions as required, repeat.

My pantry is full of plastic tubs with various staples. My veggies come in bunches. My eggs in boxes.

When did we become so helpless that "the box is the wrong size" became an issue?

sniffers · 3 months ago
I don't know that it's helplessness, I think it's genuinely difficult to notice when a product shrinks in size by an ounce or two and when a chemical composition changes. You probably make one batch, it fails, and now you have to research the size of the previous box and the size of the new box and do a bit of math. It's doable, but also, that's hoping the cake mix hasn't changed chemically. Research and math and experimentation is not zero effort.

For sure. The doxing and firings and deplatforming over Covid views, Jan 6 and general Trump support etc were awful and people rightfully complained but this is equally as bad. The hypocrisy is astounding.

It's like we have abandoned all principals of fairness and charity in pursuit of our political enemies.

People of all stripes say dumb stuff on social media. Unless it's immediate calls to violent or illegal action, the repercussions should probably stay on social media in my view.

The thing to remember is that no one cares about hypocrisy. The people in power least of all. It's a classic authoritarian move to condemn something they engage in, because the authoritarian doesn't care about doing the right thing, they care about eradicating people whose will resist them in any way.

You will see capital L Liberals complaining about hypocrisy the whole time the autocrats rise to power, completely missing the point that hypocrisy doesn't matter. There's no scoreboard out there that says, opponent was hypocritical, automatic loss.

Isn't this directly violating the Constitution?

I'm not sure the constitution matters that much to the party in charge at the moment.
