Your angry reply is cute. I simply didn’t know he was bi. Almost like this is a TIL thread. You can move along and stir a pot somewhere else, internet troll.

Girlfriend, you say?

Sure, sorry was heading to bed when I wrote that last one and forgot all about it. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/life-sim/former-dev-from-sunken-sims-competitor-life-by-you-alleges-the-team-had-the-rug-pulled-from-under-them-despite-outperforming-the-company-s-internal-metrics/ Edit: also, the latest conspiracy is that EA payed off Paradox interactive to pull the project…but that is pretty fringe and far fetched.

Some interesting info coming out from the shuttered dev about this debacle…

Was really hoping this one would help get more competition in the Sims game spot. What EA has done with the sims with the nickle and dime content purchases really turned me off to EA. The game itself was enjoyable.

Thankfully you can’t even purchase it anymore on Steam… What a debacle.

It’s bad everywhere, but what’s scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of “we don’t have enough people” and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed. They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just…scary.

The BBB is a non-profit company that only has as much power and influence as given them by the public. Tell me, do you check the BBB often to decide on how you spend your money? No one else does either! The BBB is about as toothless as they come. FCC like you said…nothing to do with this. FDA would be who you would contact if the product required recall such as was ‘adulterated’ and made you sick. Or I guess if you could prove the company didn’t follow FDA GMP’s. I guess if you want to try to tattle you could find out what quality and food safety schemes they follow. This is ‘sometimes’ proudly displayed on their website. You are looking for SQF, AIB, BRC as those are the big 3 GFSI schemes right now. Lol I am giving you waaay too much info probably. Anyway…there isn’t a manager you can ask to speak to on this one. It’s report it to them, or possibly their certifying GFSI body (which will probably get you nowhere).

Quality hasn’t printed out complaint reports since the 90s in most places. But, yeah about the same impact by the end of the day…or quarter.

Should be pretty easy to find on their packaging or website, as it looks like someone else here pointed out :) Also, we can’t tell what the hell it is so not sure how you could think we could tell ya… :)

They keep a record of complaints as part of their CAPA. Any food related issues should always be reported, helps quality dept.s push for more funding.

Overspiced!? Umm…no. No it is not.

Huh, this wasn’t even on my radar. Well, like the rest of the folks said, we can hope!

I’ve noticed this too and have been trying to keep an eye on why. I have noticed that when I have quite a bit of + to the roll (dex, sleight, spell bonuses.) and it’s a 10 or below, it doesn’t even light up the thieves kit as being used. When it’s a higher requirement of 15+ OR I don’t use the spell bonus, or I use my main character who has the dex bonus but not the sleight of hand…it doesn’t use it on lower requirements. My guess based off this was that if I blew the requirements away (5 or 10 maybe over the requirement?) it wouldn’t even bother using one. It’s all conjecture though, but that’s the trend I’ve seen since I started paying attention.

Awesome, great write-up. Thanks for the info!

Thanks! Edit: Link isn’t working for me for some reason. Bummer

Can someone sum up the controversy? I’ve seen quite a bit but not sure exactly what’s what.

Sure ya are, son! And repeating incorrect assumptions ad nauseam doesn’t make them correct. Siding with corporations? Acting like you know something because you don’t pay attention, much?

…You brag to your friends about internet arguments?

Yeah, good idea. I did. Not sure if it’s even possible with the lemmyverse though, as I have yet to come across a well organized ‘page’ like that yet.
