If they get bent somehow and don’t sit properly on your face anymore, try to avoid bending them back yourself. It’s better to have a professional do it. They know where the stress points are and how to do it right without breaking them!
And that’s actually not relevant, but thanks.
Yeah, that’s some scary levels of cognitive distance on full display here. But, at times like this, we must try to suppress any desire to say, “I told you so.” When somebody makes a statement that might imply they are somewhat aware at least of the effects of such cognitive dissonance, they need compassion, not contempt, to find a way out of their own mazes.
I’ve always figured a company will go public before enshitification truly gets underway. It’s kinda the first step of the process.
I guess my argument is that until that pressure to appease the stockholders exists, there’s not a whole lot of motive to justify enshitification. It’s hard for me to imagine the process happening any other way.
So, I suppose you can count my vote as being that going public will likely come first. Just my two cents, though, and I don’t know anything anyway! :-p
I’m a little bit confused by your post. Publicly-traded companies, by and large, place extraordinary emphasis on short term, quarter by quarter profit. Seems like a very strong contender for the root cause if the issue?
Enshitification is about monetization, getting more money from the same customer base.
Doesn’t this statement support publicly traded status being a riot cause, though?
I must assume I’m misunderstanding your argument…?
Honestly such a weak argument. Having helped my uncircumcised son learn to keep himself clean, I can probably say this myth needs to be laid to rest already. It’s just not true.
I suspect the movie would likely make a profit, bit not enough of one. They’d rather take the loss to “play it safe” and not scare away institutional investors. Or something stupid like that.
Well, you’d know better than I would, of course!
If it is the disc, I’d take it to my local game store and have them run it through their disc buffing machine. I guess I just want to encourage you to not blame the disc too hastily. Honestly, without visible scratches or damage, it’s very rarely the disc. Like…almost never.
As much as I’d like to concede the point, it sure sounds like more than a run of the mill domestic dispute. However, I will say other than that, I can see the basis of your argument.
Right, because only people you approve of can be persecuted. Whatever, dude…
Is the disc badly scratched or otherwise physically damaged? Usually, if your disc is the problem, you’ll be able to tell by looking at it.
If the disc is in good condition, then the problem might lie with your console. Hopefully it’s just a dirty lens, but given how long that console was released, the motor in your optical drive could be wearing out. Do you have similar problems in any other games?
I know it’s not what you asked, but check out So Low lotion for men by Hello Cake. :-D
Last I checked, by law you are supposed to receive pay for any actions taken on site that are directly work related. Which includes getting into uniform. So that dude’s reasoning was bunk anyway.
The laws are against the employee when it comes to salaried positions. Most jobs that pay a salary are exempt from overtime; only certain types of jobs qualify. However, due to lack of awareness, not paying overtime to a salaried employee who actually qualifies is probably a very common form of wage theft.
Btw, I’ve never heard wage theft used to refer to employees misreporting their hours. I’m not sure that’s a common usage of the term (kinda think it’s not).
In summary, the corporate bean counters don’t want to give up control over your device. That’s really all it boils down to. They’re not doing anyone any favors, that’s for sure. It’s pure greed
An employee probably dropped or otherwise damaged one or more from a multi-pack. Rather than mark off a whole six pack, they’ll write off just the damaged ones and sell the rest individually. This is also why there’s no label on the shelf.

Windows? Yeah, I’m talking out of my ass here, but probably only unplayable because Windows helpfully created some kinda corrupted data file related to the disc.
What he said is factual; you didn’t make the disc itself unreadable. Which is why I blame Windows doing something stupid and not helpful.
You sound fun! I’m same age. When I was like, less than five years old, I decided grown ups are just people who think they’ve learned enough. Therefore, I vowed to never grow up!
Huh. Now I’m going to have to pay attention when I drink something sweet, lol. But offhand, I think I tend to drink sweet beverages slowly for exactly this reason. Pretty sure when I drink it quickly, I experience something similar to what you describe.
And right here I no longer believe you’re debating this in good faith.
When Obama was president, abortion had been legal for like forty years. And, although I wish it had done more, the ACA was and is a very important piece of legislation. But, it was obvious they should’ve instead focused on fixing something that, at that time, wasn’t broken? Yeah, no.
