Because then you wouldn’t get the people who rarely play to throw money in.
The bigger jackpots incentivize those who don’t play for the “pennies” at less than 500 million. They actually reduced the odds of winning a few years ago for this exact reason.
Yeah, this is sad all around and I don’t think the intern should have been punished for that. They were just excited and high off life. The internet is usually the place where people shit on your successes, so seeing a random person comment on your language is just annoying and troll-like.
They guy should have at least sent a DM and introduced himself, then given the advice.
People should be able to celebrate their successes in the way they want as long as they’re not hurting anyone
It feels that at this point, the ruling class has gotten so good at giving us just enough to keep us from outright revolution. It’s little bonuses here and there, it’s providing just enough to keep us afloat long enough to get through the next election, it’s information manipulation to have us arguing with each other rather than focusing our anger on them.

The epitome of what I’m trying to refer to is the Playdead games (Limbo and Inside). Dark Souls and BioShock both hit on this idea but not quite so directly. The game BADLAND is also a great example of this, too. The mobile game The Silent Age also did this exceptionally well. Never quite knowing what’s going on, and maybe...
If there’s one service that I’m okay giving my data over for, it’s Google maps.
Without that, we wouldn’t have traffic data or how busy a business is. Crowd sourcing information is the only way to get a service as good as google maps. It’s actually amazing to me that it’s free given all of the satellite and street imaging done.
Social media presence as in having accounts in your name with you being visible in the profile picture in mainstream sites (Anything Meta, Twitter, Snapchat, Tiktok…). I don’t consider anynounmous accounts on Lemmy, Reddit, Kbin relevant to the scope of this question.
I personally don’t have any except for a LinkedIn and I never feel like I’m missing out. People don’t care, I never ask to follow people. If I care, I’ll get their phone number.

That type of place just is the place everywhere in the south. Outside of the major cities, every single main stretch of “stroad” looks like that. And if you want to buy something from a physical store, it’s attached to a stroad.
