Tübingen ist halt sehr hügelig. Da kommt der Postler auch mal zu spät, gell? 😅

Genau, und Zehen Richtung Körper. Bis ich das entdeckt habe, hatte ich mit dem Problem auch zu kämpfen.

No. My point was that an economic argument, as posited in the meme that started this thread, misses the core issue. From an economic perspective, Nintendo is doing the right thing, as evidenced by the fact that they have been doing this forever and still haven’t gone broke. So that approach is simply inutil when critiquing corporate greed.

Side note: Nintendo is not the only games company guilty of that, only that others, without exclusive hardware as a platform, have been suffering the consumers’ wrath (e.g. EA or Ubisoft).

Keep on working on that reading comprehension and learn to deal with nuance. I didn’t say I agree with selling unfinished games at a high price.

Looks like someone doesn’t understand how profit margins work. If I’m going to make the same $90 anyway and have to decide between spending more money on the product by delaying release or less money by rushing…all things being equal, that sounds like an easy choice. So a purely financial argument is obviously going to fall flat.

The sticking point is that money is not the only value in this world. All of our decisions need not be driven by profit maximizing strategies. So maybe instead of producing shoddy games at peak profit it would be better to produce excellent games at a good profit.

Ja, ich hatte direkt auch ein Kratzen im Hals bei der Meldung. Aber die Lohnfortzahlung im Krankheitsfall haben Fotzenfritz und seine Einflüsterer ja auch schon im Visier.

You’re not supposed to place your laptop directly in the lap of your fur suit. Always leave an air gap for ventilation, smh.

Think of it as an initiation rite.

Now you are one of us.

So… a female Joe Rogan, essentially?

They really should have learned from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald's_Restaurants

Third degree burns are NO JOKE, particularly in such a sensitive area. If you google around a little you can see the burns on the leg of Simone Evans, another plaintiff vs. Starbucks in a similar, ongoing case (NSFW!)

Anreize an wen? Ohne Anreize an Unternehmen wird da nix draus. Ich habe in meinem Beruf viel mit über 50-Jährigen zu tun, die einen Job suchen. Die Erfolgsquote ist miserabel.

Good guy HAL, making sure you learn your craft.

Schon allein wegen dem widerlichen Bierzelt-Geschwätz des frängischen Bratworscht-Königs gehört der CDU/CSU eigentlich ins Gesicht gespuckt. Was der in den letzten Jahren Hass und Häme über den Grünen ausgekippt hat. 🤬

Ganz schön frech also von der CDU/CSU, jetzt überhaupt die Grünen zu fragen. Erst recht, wenn man noch vor ein paar Wochen genau diese anstehenden Entscheidungen als linksgrüne Spinnerei denunziert hat. Und wer ein Gehirn im Kopf hatte, wusste auch vor dem Trump-Zelenskyy-Eklat, wo der Hase lang läuft.

Daher finde ich es nur richtig, dass die Grünen jetzt Forderungen stellen. Letztlich muss natürlich dann im Interesse des Landes abgestimmt werden.

Or maybe all Germans must love and support the beautiful state on the eastern end of the Mediterranean forevermore, no matter what beautiful things its beautiful leaders are up to. Anything else is inconceivable because it would be aNTiSeMiTIc.

This is the only statement I will make on the issue.

I never did get her actual name on account of the extra bursting into laughter. What was it again?

I think the expression is more about the gluteus maximus area but you probably know that.

If the therapist doesn’t cut it you best cut the therapist. Make sure it’s not you who is preventing the therapy from being successful, though.

That’s what I always do since there are decent options available nowadays.

And TikTok, please, while we’re at it.
