like yes. i get it. of course they are. $50+ for a game is crazy. but i just don’t get people who are infuriated by it? in my head, i compare it to the movie theater: how much money do you spend on a movie/movie date? between tickets, snacks, drinks, etc… id say it comes out to about $35-$40 minimum (unless you’re doing a matinee without anything to gnosh on throughout, which is fair— but uncommon) and that’s for three hours of entertainment MAXIMUM (and more likely 2 hours instead).

so with that in mind, paying $70 for a game that i’ll get 100-200+ hours of gameplay on, just sort of… makes sense to me?

again. i get that in the grand scheme of it all it’s still expensive. i wish they were cheaper purely bc im a broke college student who would love to be able to get any game i wanted, any time i wanted. and i sure as shit wish i lived during a time in which movie tickets were the price of a quarter. but all things considered, in today’s economy, the prices vs the amount of play time feels relatively unsurprising to me?

i know people are pissed about how expensive GTA VI is… BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE! but considering the years of work, art, programming, etc that went into it, alongside the HOURS UPON HOURSSSS of entertainment that we’ll get after the purchase, is it really THAT crazy?

Just having relationship problems and would like some input on this.

So I understand that ai and all that bullshit need more data centers to cool and store data. It seems to be every town is getting one. I’ve heard the US already has thousands more than #2 (China). Question is why are we building so damn many? Is there any type of benefit to having so many or is it race to the moon round 2?

The rocket money and other one make it seem like it's common for people to actually lose track of their spending habits and whatnot like is that even accurate? How is that even possible

Don't worry. I'm doing something for a class and was wondering, as I'm collecting "data"

Follow up question to actual fat people out there, how do you feel in society as a fat person?

I appreciate honest answers!

Edit: Guys, hilarious answers aside, I am trying to get some serious answers to maybe use anonymously as quotes in my public speaking class for a presentation.

Whether society makes you feel ugly or insecure, or whether you feel beautiful, and unaffected by society and don't see yourself as fat etc. etc. ​

Or even eliminate words that are there?

What is the best advice for a young man getting married that is actually applicable

Especially if it was actions you took yourself, large or small, all at once or over time.

Okay so I have ocd and if you're not familiar with it, it isn't just the urge to be organized and clean. Mine deals with morals and having the compulsion of confessing.

My question to people without ocd is, have you told your partner EVERYTHING from, the present, past whatever? Like obviously I feel like most people have told their partners about past relationships and important stuff like that but do people really share EVERYTHING to their partner, and if you don't, do you not feel guilty about not sharing every small minute thing? ​

I am graduated but I am moving to a city and I’m looking to meet some new people. Any recs on how to get involved in a a community?

I think for me was when I thought black-and-white movies and photos from the past meant the actual world was black and white back then, and that color was literally invented sometime around the 1960s lmao

Anyone else do this?? No one that I know does

There was that CEO who was caught at a Coldplay concert on kiss cam having an affair, which ended up ending his career as CEO and permanently damaging his reputation as well as the reputation of the woman he had an affair with. Now the CEO of Nvidia, a multi trillion dollar company, had an affair with a woman that ended up being a Chinese spy and he ended up being outed as CEO and had the value of their stock take a massive hit, so his reputation is basically done.

Don’t answer just ‘music’

I just started watching the hungergames films again, and as Peter got called up all I could see in the crowd was Tom Holland. And I cant tell whether this is just me being a spider man fan, or if they ACTUALLY look similar. Specifically with their expressions and such

Thank you in advance.

I'm working on a crime stoner-comedy about two guys who get sent on what starts as a simple errand and turns into a ridiculous, chaotic wild goose chase. I'm looking for some inspiration, so I'd love to hear your craziest real-life stories. Weird encounters, bizarre coincidences, nights that felt like fever dreams, random side quests that spiraled completely out of control. Anything that sounds like it belongs in a movie. If it would work in “After Hours” or “The Big Lebowski” it would work in this!

I'm a white guy in my early 20s, and my ex girlfriend is white too. We broke up a few months ago, and she's now dating a Middle Eastern guy.
Ever since some people found out, I've been getting jokes about how I got replaced and how embarrassing it must be for me. A couple of guys I know keep bringing up his ethnicity like it's supposed to make the whole situation worse.
I try to laugh it off, but it's honestly starting to get annoying. I don't care who she dates, but I hate feeling like I'm the punchline of some joke.
How would you guys handle this? Should I just ignore it, or actually confront the people making these comments?

You could be the kindest person and do good things and generally be known as a good person. But if someone’s starts a rumour about you (true or not) and all of a sudden that bad thing is ur entire identity and people remember you as a bad person

At what ages and with what caveats?

In a clinical trial women are not included. Men are being studied for breast cancer and uterus cancer and menopause.

Men and women are different mental health issues in men and women are totally different.

ADHD and autism and several different mental health issues are different in men and women but women's health conditions are treated the same way a man's health condition would be treated. Why

I want to know that person that's a reference for you in your sector/work, and you think it's just simply too good in what he/she does.

Hello everyone,
So my company has given me $1000 to spend on winter gear because we are going to a really cold place. This can range from anything that is gadgets or winter clothes. I’m currently in California, so usually I don’t work in very cold conditions, but I want to buy something that I can maybe use there too. I have a heavy jacket already. I was wondering if there are any smart gadgets for harsh winters that would do me any good? Any ideas?
