That's roughly what is was for the SNES game. Probably N64 too but I don't recall.

I think they're from the wild thornberries.

Yeah I would imagine poor/lazy planning or they either thought their tools would be replaced by then and/or that computers were just a fad so there's no way they'd be used in the year 2000.

Didn't everyone end up boycotting them for a while because they walked back the stuff that the right got mad at pretty quickly?

I think the song is about saying goodnight and going to bed. The character singing it looks like the same one in the bed.

My guess is it's because it looks like your second sentence is saying education is useless when the people around you don't value it.

Yeah, it makes a fun chant too.

Only if you're already rich or in the right social circles though. Everyone else gets fined/jail time of course.

I think that poster is right in this context. It gets abbreviated and used as a defense of there just being "a few bad apples" and they they just drop/ignore the reset of the phrase.

The thing that often gets me is when it's a screen that's entire purpose is to show you the loading symbol (so you know what it looks like and not to shut off the console during it) and you just click to continue.

So in this case I typically notice just the symbol and an waiting for it to go away on a screen where it will never go away.

I think Persona 5 Royal and/or Yakuza: Like a Dragon are examples of games that have this when you first start them.

This comment from another post of the same article has some good counter points on why this probably isn't as bad as it sounds.

While ridiculous, there's interesting context here.

Greenland has little to no economy

The ice is mined from ice that has already broken away from the glacier, thus not reducing any more than nature has already

Cargo ships bringing frozen food used to leave empty, now that same fuel is used to transport ice back instead of going to waste

The founder has always dreamed of a sustainable economy for Greenland

He is conflicted about how his work to do this in a sustainable way is being taken

The follow up comments are worth reading too.
