Like you're not waiting for the person in front of you in self-checkout to fumble their way through scanning those items? Who do you think is faster at it, the boomer in front of you in line or someone who does it all day? You're just buying into the bullshit narrative you're being fed.

Can we migrate instances or do we just start a new account elsewhere?

Remember that multibillion dollar corporations are pushing you to self checkout because they are too cheap to pay someone minimum wage to work a register. The boomers are right.

If America went from school shootings to billionaire shootings I wouldn't be mad. Think billionaires can afford pretty good security details though.

only not like the peppers intended.

I know what you're saying but also that's not how evolution works. More of a case of "the reason why an adaptation proves advantageous may change completely over time."

Insurance at scale is basically like running a casino. As long as math continues to work, you're almost guaranteed to make money. But the demand for ever increasing profits means that they need to try to deny as many claims as possible.

Yeah I don't really buy pc games before they fall below a certain price point, anyway. So I don't really care about these limited exclusive periods.

I wonder how much these deals are paying off for epic. Outside of exclusives and the weekly free games I've basically never even thought of buying a game on EGS. Definitely the worst launcher experience. Easily ignorable.

I don't think you've read enough press releases if you think this is fake.

Probably because if your business is based around profiting from American tourists, you're probably going to need to know some English. It seems to me like when money is involved people tend to find a way to communicate what they need to regardless of what languages they share, though. And obviously this does not excuse rude tourists.

Yeah I appreciate that there are certainly a lot of bad tattoos that involve Chinese characters. The one shown is probably one of them. I just don't think westerners who use Chinese characters deserve special scorn. There are a lot of bad tattoos that involve western lettering as well.

That also doesn't look anything like a USPS tracking number (which, if this were real, you'd probably already have). Pro-tip: USPS has "informed delivery" where they'll send you an email every day with scans of your mail and any packages on their way to you. Which would give you another way to know that this isn't real.
