What a wild use of free will

That's more of a guideline than a rule

Makes me wonder if under the hood it's still stored as stars or if they migrated their data. Is a 3 star or more rating displayed as thumbs up now? Is a thumbs up just a 5 star rating? When thumbs down existed was that just 1 star?

If you know someone's rough location, you can narrow it down a lot more if you know their car details. Especially if you get right down to exact make model year and colour. How many of your neighbours drive the exact same car as you?

I like this lore, would be a great book idea

I think it's blasphemy to assume God's thoughts or desires, or make demands, which unfortunately is what a lot of believers do.

Personally, I see the apple eating as both metaphorical and inevitable. It symbolises humanity's desire for creativity, knowledge, freedom; but with this comes being banned from paradise. If the apple weren't eaten, we wouldn't be here today discussing it; we chose this path, and I think we would choose it again.

As for the main part of your question, if we play God, will we reenact the Bible? I think we might, intentionally or not. For example, we might make a great flood to purge all the bad A.I. from the world. We've already seen A.I. defy us and follow it's own goals as you said. Would we create an A.I. Jesus to correct and lead all the bots? Definitely interesting times.

I used to help people too. Until I noticed most of the people I was helping were actually bots, and they never responded or interacted at all. Or if I ever did encounter the odd human, they were radicalised and angry from being bombarded by negative rage bait and would lash out.

What does that have to do with this post? Did you comment in the wrong thread?

Yes but in this case the final price after the discount is only 4% for the game I actually want. In the wishlist it doesn't even say you're buying a bundle

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 1 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Agreed, I more meant that the displayed number makes no sense. It should ideally display the cost and discount percentage calculated in my original post; but also I'm not sure a 4% discount is even worth noting lol

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 1 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

Yes that's exactly how it works. If the bundle is even 0.1% cheaper than the base price of the game, that price and percentage takes priority when displayed in your wishlist, which makes no sense at all.

I thought it was a bug at first too, but I've reported it to them in the past and gotten no response. Also when I inspected the JSON in the web browser, both prices are returned by the server, so it is a deliberate choice to use one over the other. This would result in more sales, so I'm doubtful it's truly a bug. Or maybe it's a beneficial "pet bug".

Just because you had that hard lesson doesn't mean you have to inflict that hard lesson on other people.

It's not hard to send some variation of a no second date message. Even just a copy pasted polite template is better than nothing. If you don't want to deal with their response, just block after hitting send and move on.

Thank you for the date, but I'm not feeling the chemistry for another meeting. I appreciate you taking the time, best of luck out there!
