Same for me. A few comments are unlikely to be persuasive by themselves but they are great at introducing me to new perspectives. It’s not uncommon with some follow up research that I do change my mind, and comments are what get the ball rolling. Especially true for topics I haven’t thought much about.

Voting provides feedback and a way to democratically determine something’s visibility. I would call it a stretch to say something is invalidated just because it’s unpopular. The only benefit to having a popular post/comment is better visibility. The points themselves have no value beyond what you personally give them.

Some people will filter what they say to exploit this system, but no system of even modest complexity would be fully immune to that. If there is a problem, it’s the users having poor judgement, but it’s beyond the scope of a forum sorting system to save people from themselves.

Haven’t used latex for any actual papers but when it was pitched it became pretty clear it was for power users. I just assume it’s working like they want it to.

Also, word formatting has a few options to determine how the formatting should interact with text that even has little example icons for it. IIRC I just did wrap text and moved it around easily once I was finished other editing.

The TOS can include things that a judge refuses to honor. Even if you ultimately only have a digital copy of games, purchasing them still gives you reasonable expectation of continued access absent good cause to lock you out. Removing access without a good reason is then effectively false advertising.

They said they’re out, sorry.

In this case the land that contains the crater is valuable because it is uniquely fascinating to visitors, so I would treat it like a national park. It makes sense to reserve it as an exceptional public resource even granting private land ownership as a general practice.

Not sure if this is what you want but this video has them voiced

There’s a similar one for vices.

It seems like it’s based on portions recorded for the food type 40-50 years ago.

So they are going to run smaller than modern portions if people eat more now. Similar products should at least have similar serving mass, although there is room for adjustment for practical reasons like rounding to whole units. I’m not sure how new products without an early analogue are set.

I am sure it happens but it is illegal for restaurant owners or managers to take even a portion of servers’ tips.

I’ve had this argument with people on lemmy many times. People recognize tipping is a bad system, and use that as an excuse to abandon the people who are unfortunately dependent on it. As if the system will change by stiffing the workers with essentially no power.

It is much easier to increase output for crops than livestock. The reason meat is so cheap in the US is that the government uses taxes to subsidize it, and producers torture their animals to cut costs.

BK has the impossible whopper at most of their locations, which is an innovation vegans/vegetarians appreciate. McDonald’s barely attempted with plant-based options. They even use beef in their fries.

I just use Stardew Profits

The deluxe barn/coop has an auto-feeder, and there is an item to automatically pet animals every day too. There’s also quality of life mods that will give a visual of the area for things like scarecrows and sprinklers that make setting those up much easier. I even had one that will automatically pull relevant fuel from a nearby chest for smelters, kegs, preserves jars, geode processors, etc. I found I enjoyed the later parts of the game a lot more when the “go here to reset the timer” stuff could be automated away.

So don’t be their consumer

We read portions of Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics in Ethics 101, and I felt this way about everything we went through. Yes, demonstrating admirable traits will lead to a virtuous life. That’s almost true by definition. Oh, but you still might not achieve a happy life even if you’re a good person? Well, that’s because you also need to be lucky! Oh, and generosity is apparently 2 different virtues for some reason.

I’m sure he had other works, but reading his “insights” made me wonder how this could be the guy everyone wouldn’t shut up about. We also studied the stoics, epicurians, nihilism and existentialism, Kantian ethics, consequentialism, the role of divinity, and probably other topics I can’t remember. Literally all of them were much more interesting than Aristotle’s eudaimonia ramblings, so I was quite annoyed that he took up almost half the class and made everything else rushed.

I don’t know about hard drugs, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Wisconsin had a problem with them. Alcoholism is very prominent here. Here’s a map showing grocery stores vs bars in the US

40% is an obvious strawman, but it’s a shitpost so that’s ok.

No one likes tipping culture. But regardless of what we want to happen, the reality is in the US there are jobs that depend significantly on tips for living wage. It is a well-understood social convention, and by making a purchase you are implicitly accepting the expectations associated with the customer. By taking the worker’s time and refusing to pay that part of their wage, you are underpaying them. Your protest against tips in no way inconveniences their shitty employer or otherwise incentivises them to do better. The only one worse off is the service worker you stiffed, and nothing improves.

If you do want to actually change things, you can become politically involved to try to improve their wage so they aren’t actually dependent on tips. Or you can boycott them by taking your business to places that don’t rely on tips. That way the shitty employer actually loses business to places with better practices. But don’t be a dick to an underpaid worker while pretending to have the moral high ground.

Riot is working on an mmo set in the league of legends universe too.
