Mebh posted:I thought the margins were so tight that it was cheaper to let it rot than increase wages, which is why it hasn't happened. Mostly because the supermarkets won't pay more, because customers won't pay more and it's some sort of bizzare game of chicken with supermarkets trying to sneakily raise prices without triggering consumer awareness enough and all trying to be the last one to have to do it because shoppers will just go to 'other supermarket that is eating the loss for now' Picking fruit at a small loss is still better than letting it rot for a total loss. Farms with reserve cash can struggle through to see another year and hope that it'll be survivable too. It will, because this government will always look after the interests of business first. They allowed farmers to charter a jet to bring in foreign pickers at the height of the pandemic.

Endjinneer posted:Picking fruit at a small loss is still better than letting it rot for a total loss. It is, but if the scenario you are looking at is ‘bringing in pickers will cost more than we will sell the fruit for’ then you just let it rot. The cost of the fruit is sunk, the only question is ‘will we make more money selling the fruit than it costs to pick it’, and the answer in many cases is ‘no’.

I don't think we'll reach a point of calorie deficiency or mass price rises, but it'll be interesting to see a lot of basics that we don't have year-round or significant production of disappear from the shelves over February. Given cooking in Britain, most of the impact might be seen in frozen/ready meals eg pizzas changing to barbecue instead of tomato sauce, more casseroles than bolognese, that sort of thing.forkboy84 posted:This is bollocks though, as far as the Scottish Greens go. They aren't ever going to win a FPTP seat so their best can & do sit at Holyrood, people like Patrick Harvie & Ross Greer & Alison Johnstone & John Finnie, & at until today I'd have happily included Wightman in that category for his fantastic campaigning worth on issues as diverse as land ownership across Scotland & attacking short-term landlords (AirBnB type poo poo) in Edinburgh. Their best is 4 of their 5 MSPs, 5 of their 6 prior, and includes the school politician from a very privileged area, dropped into a free slot at 21 because they knew him from a separate campaign a few years prior, and immediately made their foreign affairs, education and cultural secretary? Which he achieves in the spare time between sick burns on twitter and lobbying in parliament for a Catholic charity's work in Africa despite multiple recent incidents of sexual abuse by their employees? They're all poo poo, but it is depressing that that's the best for the least worst party.

I hope the current advert aesthetic "pop/rock song changed to piano and breathy woman singing" is done to the Coke Holidays are Coming advert. One lit-up lorry in a 20 mile tailback, flickering as the alternator slowly fails, the roadside just grey slush with the occasional yellow streak...

Ms Adequate posted:Ehhhh kinda, like yeah some of it is very much deliberately "This has become so normalized that everyone accepts it unthinkingly" (The ads are a perfect example, they've clearly just kept on advancing until "Literally Experience Eating rear end" is perfectly acceptable to advertise omnipresently) and you're meant to be just another dipshit in the machine, but as an open world game there feels like there's a disharmony between narrative and gameplay expectations. Like, maybe it shouldn't be possible to succeed in effecting long-term or real change, but you should definitely be able to go and try do things that make a material dent in the corps or whatever. We're playing it to live out our awesome future cybernetic fantasies, so being railroaded into "Actually things are poo poo and only ever getting worse, you cannot even *attempt* to change this" is just... not that fun? Yeah I basically agree with this. As for the mechanics I guess I just don’t find it all that acceptable for one of the most hyped, if not the most hyped, game in history to have ‘pretty good shooting’ and not much else in terms of game mechanics. The world does just feel quite empty, barring things to look at. The stealth is poo poo. The driving is poo poo. The cop system is laughable. I wanted Witcher 3 in the future too but I really don’t feel like I got it. As an example, when in Witcher 3 you encounter some down trodden citizen being stomped by goons and save them, there’d be some conversation. They’d thank you and probably ask you to deliver a chicken to their wife or some poo poo. Or you’d be able to have conversation with the goons and decide actually this citizen deserves a stomping, or threaten them to back off instead. It would feel like a real interaction. In Cyberpunk, the times I’ve seen these little things happening you approach, you fight the bad guys, then the victim stays cowering on the floor. And that’s it. That’s poo poo.

Ive got maybe 40 hours in cyberpunk on a fairly decent pc and the only bugs Ive seen so far have been minor visual glitches. Im absolutely loving it so far (nearing the end of act 2), but I'm guessing thats because I had 550 hours in the witcher 3 and went into this expecting a futuristic witcher rather than a GTA game. For me it's one of my favourite games of all time, especially if they can work out the glitches and provide top tier dlc like they did with witcher 3. E: and it's absolutley breathtakingly beautiful with RTX on

^Someone's never eaten in a Little Chef "He's cancelling Christmas" with very specific details will be put on Twitter when the conference time is 3pm, then they'll see Twitter going apeshit and delay the conference to 4 pm, then a new policy will float out and they'll see how FB reacts... round about 8 Bojo will say "some difficult decisions had to be made to plead with you to go harder than we will actually implement- and now over to Chris Witty to outline all the bad things".

I called my bike, it drove up, and every car behind it would drive up, hit it, and backflip bounce 10m into the air. Another time, running on the street at night time in a sleezy area to enjoy the atmos and see what I can see, and every human model changes into 10yo kids. Just kids half my size everywhere, walking down the street at 4am, telling me to watch my step.

I feel I can't get into Cyperpunk just as an dystopian future rn, I've passed under the big BAE Systems advert on the London tube and been there in while people were singing along to "On the first day of Christmas" but all the gifts were replaced by volumes of Coca Cola overseen by a giant screen at Piccadilly circus. I mean a Cyberpunk future sounds great- it's poo poo like now but at least roboweed and guns would be legal. It's a mark above the children of men timeline we in lol. Plus I want to be a razor girl so there is also that. thrashingteeth fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Dec 19, 2020 |

I know Chapo have a bit of a mixed reputation around here but there latest episode starts with them explaining Among Us to Slavoj Zizek and him remarking to Virgil "I like that you are wearing a tie because I know who to hang and have the instrument to do it with". Having said that listening to Zizek on headphones is... not a pleasant experience.
