If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • If I’m not mistaken, a large component of Nintendo’s power comes from Japanese copyright laws being far more pro-copyright holder and Nintendo uses it to its full potential. In Japan, this sometimes results in prison sentences and often big fines. it’s also applied outside the country against a consortium of universal copyright recognizing countries and so it can affect you regardless of your location although I forget how exactly.

    To @[email protected] 's point, perhaps it is the weak qualifications for Japanese patents which have allowed Nintendo to bully everyone.



  • I bought two double rank 16gb sticks so I had the option of 64gb later, but with zero page file I have not had a single issue. I also horde tabs when online shopping, but I use extensions to prevent them from loading until selected. Still, never even been over 25gb in daily use and gaming. I also have a 3090 though so that 24gb vram soaks up a lot.











  • The fault is obviously the driver who hit them, but also the social pressure of holding everyone up and making a quick decision to go and clear up the intersection.

    This isn’t unlike a situation where a truck stopped to help my sister turn left out of a business he wanted to turn into on a 2 lane 2 way. She had no visibility, and the dude was angerly waving her to leave for his wide turn. She let the social pressure get to her, went out to peak around him, saw the far lane was clear and went, then got tboned by someone zipping around him. She never would have tried that had he not made her seem like she was the unreasonable one making him circle the block again or make the wide turn into the other lane to get in straighter… Course he didn’t stop to be a witness either.


  • For sure, I think drivers often make calculations like they’re being nice, but the risk to a walker is way higher than a driver and so they shouldn’t be surprised when the walker doesn’t take the wave. I slow down and meander as a pedestrian when there’s a busy 4 way and then jog across, if people stop early “just in case” I feel put at risk for niceties.
