If Lyft fails to address unsafe driving behavior, pursuing a claim can bring attention to dangerous patterns. This legal action can push Lyft to adopt more stringent safety protocols, what to do if your uber crashes such as better driver monitoring and stricter policies to deter risky driving. It benefits both current and future passengers.

(in regards to the first paragraph) there are more than two reasons to play video games. “choose one of these pre-selected answers” is probably not the reason for most.

HubertManne,

True but I often felt the push pull of the two groups. Especially in mmo's. PVPers tended to be the challenge minded while PVEers tended more toward the role players. I often would chat about how I was just there to play with dolls.

YouTube no longer allows any reference to gambling sites or applications “not certified by Google.”

It’s literally on the Play Store, rated at M.

MystikIncarnate,

Dunno why it’s even rated M. Seems high for what it is

Revan343,

It’s rated M because of moderators poor understanding of ‘gambling’

This reminds me of 2010 when lootboxes and gacha games were okay because teaching children to gamble with Dad’s credit card was awesome.

15 years later and YouTube doesn’t even know what gambling is anymore, lol.

Tamo240,

Don’t you dare remind me how long ago 2010 was

Reminds me of the 90’s. When anime was becoming more available in the west. Titles like Ghost in the Shell, Akira and La Blue Girl. Everyone here just figured they were cartoons and cartoon were for kids. So kids got to watch it…

Now it’s like they see poker, so it must be gambling. Doesn’t matter it’s not the case at all.

kitnaht,

Wife thought the same thing about anime when I met her, now it’s almost all she’ll watch. She’s had to get used to some of the…cultural differences…that Anime includes, but she’s so used to it now that it barely registers any more.

SirSamuel, (edited )

…cultural differences…

Pedophilia? Oh, sorry, I meant Neon Genesis

ETA: this is mostly a dig at the depictions of teenagers in Neon Genesis specifically, and especially the unhealthy relationships between adults and children in that show

Zahille7,

I mean there’s some questionable views about WW2 and Nazi Germany for instance.

Just look at Stroheim from JoJo’s

brsrklf,

It felt so weird going into the anime completely blind.

Okay, he’s German. Uh, and he’s in the army. And it’s WW2.

…Are we going to address the elephant in the room?

Nope, he’s just the new bro, here we’re all bound by the power of muscles and cool poses.

False,

I mean he foolishly releases the bad guys because he’s arrogant, then he talks a big game and gets his ass kicked repeatedly.

kitnaht,

I mean, I haven’t seen any pedophilia, but definitely incest and other weird shit. There’s a lot of shit I don’t pick up on tho.

beejboytyson,

Pretty sure 12 was legal in japan at the time.

Duamerthrax,

The national government in Japan is a pile geriatrics who don’t want to do anything. Pretty much every prefecture(think state or provenance) raised the age of consent to 18 a long time ago.

I remember politely telling the guy at my local Family Video that “Watership Down” should probably be removed from the kid’s section. He scoffed at me and just gave me a “yeah… mkay.”

A few weeks later, I noticed it was gone. I commented on it to a different guy this time and he said “yeeeeah, the boss’ sister brought it home for her kids. It’s gone now. Like… actually gone.”

Childhood trauma could have been avoided with that one.

RushJet1,

Just wait until they rent Plague Dogs

llii,

I have the same trauma. It ran on German TV in the middle of the day decades ago. Never going to forget this.

I saw la blue girl when I was 18 and it traumatized me. That shit is fucked up. I thought it was anime bc my friend had a big collection and it was just there on the shelf.

Well it is anime.

What goes on in that? Not sure I should even Google it?

Cenzorrll,

Tentacles. Yes, in that way.

Rai,

It’s a weird hentai, but it’s overall pretty tame.

Bible Black is more intense. Then Urutsikodoji. Then some other fucked up anime that didn’t stick into my memory. La Blue Girl is barely a step above regular hentai in fucked-up-ness.

Rai,

Ehhh La Blue Girl isn’t that crazy as far as hentai goes. I did love the pubic hair needle attack.

beejboytyson,

I was with you till the hentai.

SplashJackson,

Ninja Scroll am I right or am I right

Rai,

My first anime! My pops let me rent it when I was like 11 or 12.

Fuckin AWESOME.

Hideakikarate,

I don’t care what the dev says: that thing ain’t 1:4.

dumbass,
@dumbass@leminal.space avatar

It’s 1:4 but everytime the card is played a new set of 1:4 starts, so fuck knows what the actual odds are.

MrScottyTay,

It’s always 1:4 then but that doesn’t mean in 4 goes you’re guaranteed a win.

brsrklf,

Humans are bad at probability, and that’s mostly why they gamble too.

Every wheel draw is supposed to be independent (it’s not totally so because computer “random” is really a pseudo-random algorithm, but close enough). So every time you draw, the odds are 1:4. Previous draws don’t matter.

On an infinitely large number of draws, you’d see a 1/4 success rate. This doesn’t mean you can’t fail a dozen times in a row (the probability of that is (3/4)^12, about 3%… It happens).

null,

It’s 1:4 but everytime the card is played a new set of 1:4 starts

Of course it does, or the odds wouldn’t be 1 in 4…

If you flip a coin, you “start” a new set of 1 in 2 odds too – that’s what makes it always 50/50

We will get soooo many of these headlines in the coming months and years. It will be glorious. Everyone will get instant and cheaper access to new tech while USians get fucked lol

tempest,

No no those other countries will pay the tariffs.

Raiderkev,

Yes, as someone who works in supply chain, I definitely don’t have to update hundreds of PO’s to add tariff fees into everything, and the company is definitely not increasing price of the product onto our customers, because that’d be weird. China n Mexico are clearly going to make us rich.

What’s uncertain? He’s solidifying income for the executive branch sans congress. And thus gutting congressional power over the executive branch before midterms.

Ilixtze, do games w Switch 2 preorders [in the US] delayed over Trump tariff uncertainty

The anti woke gamers that can only see politics when it intersects their treats will be thrilled by this. But I don’t expect any self reflection or deep analysis by them.

AllTheKarma,

Nah, they’ll blame developers and publishers. There will be death threats I’m sure. Boycotting companies out loud while still using their products.
