    no, it’s not. unless there are people protesting outside so-called AAA company offices to only make games with more crunch, bigger empty maps with pointless busywork, more detailed “realistic” looting animations that take so long it becomes a chore playing the game, it’s their choice and waste to do so. no one asks games to cost millions to make, and no one demands them to make billions to count as successful. they pretend this is a demand. it’s not.

    exactly. I’ve always disliked this. but also the older i get the more i find this antisocial attitude immature as fuck. hating people isn’t a virtue, and most likely, being a person who brags about hating everyone unprompted, you’re not the best person in most rooms to justify this in the first place.

    this is such propaganda. barely anything here is accurate.

    politicians demand accountability? bullshit.

    lead investigation? if there’s one at all, it’s the cops themselves.

    lack of training? no, the cops investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing, or it’s standard protocol

    this comic strip should just be three panels:

    police shoots someone, politicians raise funds for police, police shoots someone with newer toys

    I guess it’s easy to miss that m% just means ×m÷100

    6% of 50 means 50 × 6 ÷ 100, and because multiplication and division have the same order of operations you can switch them around. so it is also equal to 6 × 50 ÷ 100, in which you can simplify 50 ÷ 100 into 1 ÷ 2, but you could always do that: 50 × 6 ÷ 100 = 1 × 6 ÷ 2.

    this “shortcut” however is of extremely limited use. basically for taking a percentage of anything other than things that can very easily divide or multiply 100 like 50 in this example or maybe 10 or 500 it’s nearly useless.
