  • Fairly common. Setting up proper permissions in AWS isn't always straightforward and getting permissions to properly integrate with an app can be confusing. I have worked with a lot of people who don't care about doing things right and only care about making something that works.

  • It's not officially written anywhere, but multiple scanlation groups have stated such a rule. It is usually a courtesy thing and looked down upon to scanlate a series someone else is working on since scanlation takes a lot of work, and as you said these people are volunteers so they are unpaid.

    What OP is saying is a real problem though. Sometimes there are really poor translations and due to this courtesy other groups will avoid working on the same series.

    I agree with the OP here. Courtesy is one thing, but if your scanlations were superior in the first place there wouldn't need to be competing translators. As with all art, you want to put the best foot forward and do the art piece justice when presenting it. Many of these scanlations are straight up lazy, and others are downright damaging the original work.

  • This isn't really a question, but I'll respond with my experience.

    As a kid I had a mother that was incredibly health conscious. She always fed me "alternative" foods with strong flavors. It instilled a hatred for health foods in me, but it also changed my taste buds to have a particular distaste for sweet foods.

    I am now in my 30s. I still eat healthy. I don't binge eat. I stay away from overly salty foods. And guess what. My health is still a mess. I get what feels like food poisoning all the time. A lot of foods still make me sick.

    At some point you need to realize that eating healthy is not always a solution. Healthy foods do not work for everybody, whether it be a severe dislike of the taste or allergies to the additives that are frequently required to make health food taste good. I have begun thinking it is better to have too many nutrients than not enough. It is better to drink a lot of juice loaded with sugar than it is to be dehydrated.

    I would rather live a happy life for 40 years than an unhappy one for 80, especially given the current direction of politics and the fact I am now 50% microplastics.

    In the end, you need to find out what works best for you and what makes you the happiest version of yourself.

  • As you alluded to, the developers will get exactly 0% of the profits from that price hike. Games today are very profitable at $60. The problem is that execs are eating into those profits before pissing the rest down to the developers. There is also a really shitty tech bro culture that many game studios have, decorating their studios with overpriced and expensive tat which should have been spent on employees.

  • That is what I am hoping/waiting for. I've been looking to switch to an EV for a few years now but have been turned off by the price, lack of physical buttons, and poor battery performance in cheaper models. I am praying the redesigned Leaf will clear all 3.

  • I've come to learn that when they say "small government" they don't mean that what the government touches is small and focused. They mean that the size is physically small but have the same, if not more, power than a large government body.

    Basically they want fascism and a monarchy.

  • Many of us didn't. In fact, many people didn't vote for anybody, and that was a major part of the problem. These people, usually single issue voters, thought they had the moral high ground by not voting between bad and worst.

    Trump received the same number of votes as last election, but Harris received significantly less than Biden did last election. Harris wasn't good enough for a lot of Democrats, and they thought not voting and letting Trump win was better than tossing their morals aside on a single issue.

  • People can change, but don't put your life on hold waiting for that to happen. I can't say for sure what kind of person this is since I've never met the guy, but I can tell you that you will be waiting a long time if he is behaving how you described. Communication is incredibly important as a foundation for a relationship, and ghosting indicates they won't be able to discuss things with you when things get really bad. This is a skill that is learned young and it is harder to learn it with age.

    Let that flame die out and only let it be reignited if the person makes real effort to really talk to you.
