In case my deletion of the comment wasn’t federated: mb, I didn’t realise it was an image post.

I didn’t think it was misleading, but when I read it I automatically thought the article was talking about the extent of pollution in the ocean, not what everyone else seems to be interpreting it as…

Assuming what he’s saying is true, I still keep coming back to this line:

“My boss said, ‘I would have killed someone who said what you said in the meeting.’”

How does someone say something like that? And how is this something that he’s never been called out for?

Just a small but very important correction: the article says 6 grams per serving. Giving them two extra teaspoons with the small amount that babies take is much more significant.

EDIT: A quick search said that one serving of baby food tends to be around 75g? That means that that’s 8% of it being pure sugar.

People don’t really like to read the articles before commenting, huh.

Knowing Stardew was such a beloved game, I knew I had to get context before judging the author because it could be read both ways.

People who assume games not changing = criticism are telling us more about their own uncharitable view of others than anything else.

EDIT: That said, if I were to offer criticism, I feel like the author gives too much credit to Stardew as though it invented or pioneered the tight gameplay loop: perhaps at least some mention could have been made to Harvest Moon, the game from which Stardew borrows - and perfects - most of its major systems.

Also to be fair, it doesn’t go anywhere with that thought that Stardew hasn’t changed. Felt a little low-effort, like a retrospective on Stardew that just basically listed what people liked about it.

Excuse me? Who are the original people in your book and which year is the baseline?

I’m someone who doesn’t have a huge stake in either side and still this take astounds me.

I think it’s an anti-riddle, or a joke, more than anything else.

How long? A week? More?

Yeah, agreed, but to be fair all of this is no longer criticism about why they didn’t use the metric system and actually acknowledges that people need visualisation sometimes.

TIL :)

But I know what one looks like, and I go to the zoo fairly regularly. I don’t know what a 1500kg weight looks like, because even for the things which are 1500kg, it’s not normally its defining characteristic.

To be fair, I actually find it more difficult to visualise 1500kg than a rhino (I just don’t normally interact with things on that scale), so it does help me in terms of knowing how big the satellite roughly is.

Unsounded by Ashley Cope is one I love that hasn’t been mentioned yet.

They said they spent another hour after launching, though - not sure you can launch without having interacted with the Nomai statue.

Vaping is banned in Singapore. You still see some people illegally possessing and vaping though.

I really hate his justification because it seems incredibly selfish and short-sighted. Imagine if he murdered someone and said it wasn’t murder because it was art. It can be both, and society might also argue it is not art or should not normatively be art.

That was the prop money. I guess if they’d known he’d steal it, they would’ve used fake prop money instead.

I think the problem is this: the man was paid for his work. People don’t seem to get that.

The deal was that he was paid an amount of money to make an art piece. That art piece was supposed to use another bunch of money as props. He was supposed to then give back the prop money after the exhibition was over.

When he made his work that used none of the money, that was fine. The museum rolled with it and gave him his dues. They didn’t even ask for the prop money back when they realised he wasn’t using it.

The problem is that he’s now supposed to return the prop money that was to be used in the artwork, and he’s refusing to.

He’s already been paid, he’s just being a shit to an organisation offering a public service.

Serious question: If you’re not expecting a response, why put it on social media? It might be healthier to externalise some of your rants through other means and move away from the expectation that things need to be on social media for them to matter.

The part about sheriffs scares me as someone not well-versed in American affairs because I read previously that some sheriffs don’t believe that federal laws should apply to them and that could be good, I guess? But could also be really bad.
