Yeah, the ASCII characters are at least trying to pretend that we aren't slowly regressing back to hieroglyphics

I love the irony that people nuke your comment
Yup, calling bs on the article, since a pc is both cheaper and easier than a phone. Besides, if you know how to navigate a window and type into a textbox (both required for YouTube) you know how to write a digital form
This article is made up drama
You mean like how you fully purchased a premium account?
I wonder why there are no laws against eforced, unilateral contract adjustments like this. Especially considering "no ads" was an explicit part of the original purchase
You're right that I inverted it numerically
Though, that's a communication thing. White people are a minority worldwide but never referred to as such. I used the standard way to refer to the different races even though that is statistically incorrect in the hope of it being more directly obvious what I meant
He means Apartheid
That one went so far that south Africa is the only country to voluntarily unilateraly give up its nuclear arsenal when a minority risked getting to power
It is getting better though. We are all just facing the issues of our era's.
Tech keeps going up, we are slowly making progress on climate change, the space race is back on, and superpowers don't directly fight eachother anymore. Hell, we've proven to beat once in a century pandemics in a few years with relatively speaking barely any deaths. Life's good
Yes, we have squabbles in the middle east and Africa, but that's par for the course and not an indicator for human development. The only thing that has really gone backwards is that war has been brought back to europe
Toomba 2: The evil swine return is a piece of nostalgia I can never share
If you think 15 bucks for actual additional content is a microtransactions than you need to read up on the definition
I'd rather have subscription model + frequent dlc + ads in game the microtransactions
Not that I would accept that combo either, but unlike microtransactions, it wouldn't literally ruin lives
Yeah, but it's a sustainable model that allows for longtime development and product lifetime. It's also completely voluntary since base + utopia + synthetic dawn are 85% of all worthwhile content on their own
Like, microtransactions are garbage, but the industry has shifted to a point where you're out if you don't have a long term payment model. The paradox model at least puts a cap on what the whales can pay, and actually gives them more content in return.
It's the least bad model out there. At least for companies too big to pull a factorio/terraria
Multiplying with q negative does genuinely correspond to a 180° rotation around the origin in the complex plane (plus a scalar multiplication of course)
