Now the ducks colonize the moat and you have two attractions. You may or may not also need a third - a drawbridge - for your own access.

Yes - unexpectedly, on a game that's pretty much a decade old. Modders are not expected to maintain stuff that long, because when does that ever happen?

Then it's just... badly executed at that.

It’s disgusting that you endorse discriminating against people

If you're not trolling - poorly - then you obviously have massive issues. I would encourage you to seek out some help for those.

Then go sue them over their lack of Your Particular Setup-compatible wifi, I guess.

It's their network that they are offering as a service, if they say no then no it is.

Really more of a middlelord at most.

It's so much waffle it sorta doesn't even matter. Super dodgy site.

AI generated or just crap? You decide!

"You're welcome" was always taught to me as the proper thing, but sounds slightly stilted. They express the same sentiment, roughly, but "[it was] no problem" is arguably clearer about it. I personally just think it's a slightly "nicer" nuance.

Of course, sometimes maybe it actually was a problem, and then I'd only say it if going out of my way to be nice about it.

This doesn't explain shit. It tosses a bunch of graphs at you with the feeling of someone suggestively waggling their eyebrows. Some of the graphs have completely valid points. Some are of unclear relevance. Most of all, the page busily works to correlate all these in your mind while carefully not actually arguing anything. That should basically always make you thoroughly fucking suspicious - no matter what the message is.

Maybe the site is completely right about whatever its carefully-only-implied point is: that's the beauty of not really taking a clear stance at all, but just throwing information at people that is likely to allow them to extrapolate whatever you want them to. You also don't have to do pesky things like providing citations, justifying your reasoning, or even explaining what that reasoning is.

I would absolutely recommend against using this as a teaching tool. It could (generously...) be used as a reference for yourself, sure, if you can otherwise back up the implied connections in a way this site did not even try. The fact that its implied point, "wealth hoarding bad" (I assume) is a fairly good one, does not mean this is a good way of communicating it.

They really will keep pushing this until it's 1% content, 5% sponsorshit, and the remainder ads that are injected straight into your eyeballs like Pulp Fiction. With a fire hose.

Tried showing some people some YT videos on a "smart TV", instead of my usual uBO+SponsorBlock+BlockTube on a PC. It is fucking awful. It verges on being literally unfuckingusable by being so much of a bitch it's easier to just not watch anything on it.

That is completely fucking bonkers, even for the US, even for the time. Love it.

It isn't quite as blitheringly insane as it sounds though, what with the whole broken neck thing.
