to be fair, the emulation on these devices is significantly more accurate, right?

The thing that's missing here is context. It's hard to care about a random doctor prescribing an extra $200 for a patient that is taken out of the tens of billions of dollars of profit a year that health insurance companies make.

Like, this car seat anecdote costs as much as an hour meeting of a few of their higher paid employees.

Does that really matter? Should it matter?

is that what that is? I've been in the same place for a couple years now and the bathtub has slowly been peeling away during that time. The peeled paint clogs the drain so I have to clean it out every couple weeks (I did add a drain catch thing but it's not perfect)

as a dude who has worked in restaurants and offices... working in fast food isn't the simplest job out there, like by a significant margin. That sentiment is propaganda to keep wages low and treat low wage earners like shit.

however, I get that Trump thinks that way so your point still is right

I feel like similarly sized cities have similar problems.

for what it's worth, I liked Richmond when I visited

Goldeneye and its spiritual sequel Perfect Dark (my favorite game of all time) do this varying AI skill thing along with the mission objectives expanding across difficulties. An argument can be made against it because someone playing on "easy" doesn't really experience the whole game but it's also cool to replay levels on a higher difficulty where the map is larger or you're interacting with more things or you're starting in a different location.

It doesn't matter that it was correct. There isn't anything that verifies what it's saying, which is why it's not recommended to ask it questions like that. You're taking a risk if you're counting on the information it gives you.

because it could have just as easily confidentiality said something incorrect. You only know it's correct by going through the process of verifying it yourself, which is why it doesn't make sense to ask it anything like this in the first place.

I'd love to hear it if you find it

MOBAs were cool at the time of warcraft 3. Let's move on.

What kind of statement is this? MOBAs are still insanely popular. And "move on"? as if there's no reason to iterate or improve on a genre?

I don't even play MOBAs but I've heard this same sentiment on arena shooters and it makes as much sense there as it does here.

I live in the south and ended up seeing a southern rock band a month ago. Literally waving flags as part of their set..They finished one song by riffing on killing in the name and the crowd ate it up and I was like uhhhhhhhh

exactly! it's crazy, like you're conscious but your mind isn't recording. And then without that record to reflect on, it's easy to forget things.
