Few people want B over their extreme I think. They want their lesser desired B vote to run off to A. Approval disproportionately advantages the middle, least desired by all parties.


You only get the extraction percent benefit of this method if you have a second step with it open, else it’s immersion style like an aeropress.
This is a joke, but not really. For what, under $10,000 can be free of putting dishes away forever… Might literally do this with 3-4 dishwashers. Any actual downside?


Ethan Chlebowski has many very good science and subjective testing based videos. Without any bullshit added in, except maybe his new website and app.


Forcibly subjected got us to where we are today. It works.


Eh, it works during the period it’s intended to work. When competition is high and not optimized. Optimization results in a need to convert to non-profit public utility status, which is where we fail.


Vote for the next president who has a platform to undo everything and to spend 4 years rounding up everyone doing heinous shit now. That’s the best you’re going to get.


It makes more sense if your character also has a lifetime time limit or cannot return to an area visited, else if you can, you’re right, no point in gating it as a time sink.
Games need very thoughtful trade-off and strategy management. Diablo for instance had a very beloved or maligned inventory mechanic playing tetris, which was set aside for the same reasons you talk about.
It matters a lot more if you cannot just whip out 80 potions and swap to optimize gear mid battle… If you had to make opportunity cost choices in games it would matter.
Great games balance all this, and you get more casual games the fewer choices and consequences there are, until they technically aren’t games anymore and just become number go up simulators.


As you run by items, should they just automatically get picked up and sold? Or just enter 1 giant spreadsheet so you can use or access the value of anything you’ve been near? Should you even be able to pick up a plate or should only core items be actual items like old school games? I’d argue the player is deciding what is and is not worth their real life time, else again, it’s not a game, it’s a spreadsheet. Granted, there’s a fine line to walk here between what is a game, what strategic decisions there should be, and how tedious should things be. It’s more complex than what you’re considering, and it’s a very slippery slope that ends in spreadsheets, math, automation, and whether or not anything is worth playing at all, or is the story the only important part and the rest is just wasting time… So perhaps no games, just books.


There’s a reason things like consumer protection agencies should exist. Most are too stupid and easily taken advantage of. You cannot run a society like that well. SpaceX already raised their funds and the bag holders are regular people. That is bad for society even if we may like to point and laugh at the morons.


A game is defined by its restrictions, otherwise it’s not a game. It doesn’t need to be realistic, it just needs to have something where at some point you must make a strategic choice.


Because fucked them


If you can prove that, that is a multi billion dollar class action recall.
Look up flash seasoning on yt. Get the pan to 400-500 degrees, dump in oil, smoke 30 seconds, dump out all oil, let rest to reasonable temperature, optionally add cold cooking fat of your choosing. I’ve tried this method and it’s by far the best most reliable method, and beats out the bullshit of 100 thin baked on coats of seasoning advice.


They’d put him on heart lung bypass before giving up his seat. Even if he was dead prior.
In such a case, shouldn’t they have voted 1 social 2 dem? Approval voting is fine, it allows cross aisle winners which are impossible now, but definitely has the chance of being a weak middle that’s always walking on eggshells.
I personally wish we used issue voting: each candidate takes a test, then you take a test, and an algorithm matches your answers with the candidate to avoid a huge number of problems with media driven campaigns.
