Sometimes you just get into a bitchslappin’ kind of groove.

Nah. The pattern is cool as hell though.

Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.

Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.

This place is noticeably more anticorporate - which makes sense because corporations tend to be dicks - and leftist. Enshittification is a fairly apt term for what goes on.

What do you mean, “nowadays”? Mobile games always sucked.

Not in the very rare case where the positivity is warranted because the product is decent, appropriately priced, and not too shittified.

It’s disgusting that you endorse discriminating against people

If you’re not trolling - poorly - then you obviously have massive issues. I would encourage you to seek out some help for those.

Then go sue them over their lack of Your Particular Setup-compatible wifi, I guess.

It’s their network that they are offering as a service, if they say no then no it is.

“You’re welcome” was always taught to me as the proper thing, but sounds slightly stilted. They express the same sentiment, roughly, but “[it was] no problem” is arguably clearer about it. I personally just think it’s a slightly “nicer” nuance.

Of course, sometimes maybe it actually was a problem, and then I’d only say it if going out of my way to be nice about it.

This doesn’t explain shit. It tosses a bunch of graphs at you with the feeling of someone suggestively waggling their eyebrows. Some of the graphs have completely valid points. Some are of unclear relevance. Most of all, the page busily works to correlate all these in your mind while carefully not actually arguing anything. That should basically always make you thoroughly fucking suspicious - no matter what the message is.

Maybe the site is completely right about whatever its carefully-only-implied point is: that’s the beauty of not really taking a clear stance at all, but just throwing information at people that is likely to allow them to extrapolate whatever you want them to. You also don’t have to do pesky things like providing citations, justifying your reasoning, or even explaining what that reasoning is.

I would absolutely recommend against using this as a teaching tool. It could (generously…) be used as a reference for yourself, sure, if you can otherwise back up the implied connections in a way this site did not even try. The fact that its implied point, “wealth hoarding bad” (I assume) is a fairly good one, does not mean this is a good way of communicating it.

I’d assume they were trying to pimp me to some buzzwordoholic. I don’t see any reasonable interpretation of it that’s insulting, though.

Having it be (perceived as) the norm is absolutely stupid - but the issue is with ignorant management and recruiters, not people who get into entire stacks honestly for fun or profit.

That is probably literally Filch, poor bastard.

I was just expressing surprise at exactly how shit this health-related, science-related advice was, and consequently what a bad idea listening to it would be. It is not my field, as stated. Do I need to post a treatise to be able to say “whoa, that’s not how good advice looks”?

Sorry you didn’t find it constructive, I don’t find this productive or constructive or any other metaphor either. Guess you can’t please everyone.

The advice is wank, from people who don’t know jack about this. And yes, I know - I don’t, either. That is why I don’t try to answer questions on hugely complicated fields I don’t know. Almost nobody even considered posting a source for anything and that is a huge red flag in a question that is basically about science.

Given that the advice is off-topic, wrong, potentially risky or some combination, I am not wrong about the general sentiment. If you wanted me to phrase it some other way, maybe you could’ve been more, uh, constructive.

After all, commenting “this is the pure dietary sugar of discussions” and then walking away is the pure dietary sugar of discussions.

Holy crap, don’t get your dietary advice from this place apparently.

Bottom? This is par for the course.

Depending on what you mean by respect and opinion, yes. If you’re discussing an opinion then someone is probably going to expect you to explain why, that’s a logical point to cover in any such discussion. Even if it’s subjective. If it’s an opinion on something objective, then there’s an actual burden of “proof” and possible consequences, and the stakes rise accordingly.

There aren’t many reasons to “properly” respect an opinion that is irrational (not just subjective), factually wrong (“interpretation” only goes so far), dishonest, or anything like that. I’m skeptical of endorsing any opinion until I know why it is what it is.

“Underrated” and “awesome” tend to just… mean roughly the same thing in this context, and it’s so individual it’s hopeless to try to recommend stuff based on that alone. Popularity or unpopularity doesn’t necessarily speak to how much you’ll like it, either.

Recommendations are easier to give the better you know your tastes, and the better you can describe them.

You can also do some thinking about what you like and why, and see how others describe that song/album/artist/whatever to get some useful starting points. If you want to nerd out, Wikipedia and the like can tell you a lot about musical influences that shaped this or that style, and you can track it down and see if it resonates with you.
