Then he isn’t going to be filing a frivolous lawsuit if he chooses to sue over this. It’s as simple as that.

They do but have fun keeping your head in the sand.

His lawyer can find a way. If frivolous lawsuits can pass unabated all the time, surely so can an honest one.

Sue them. Take all of their money.

Yes, they are literally just excuses for shrinkflation and companies only benefit from shitheads like you to give them an easy out.

The world doesn’t revolve around tiny minute details and jargon from a field that doesn’t actually positively affect most people’s lives.

Our kitchen scales are the standard, not your overblown overpriced ones that are too precise to be meaningful to the average consumer.

We are in charge, not you.

🤔 Huh. I didn’t believe you until I measured it out on my own measuring spoons. You’re right. My bad fam

All that speech doesn’t change the fact that your standards don’t matter, ours do, and if our scales don’t match what that package says, you have to put more product in to make it do so or you are defrauding us. Period.

Now come back when you’re ready to meet our standards.

Well, it can’t be packaged to scientific standards, it has to be packaged to ours.

Scale accuracy was never a problem or scrutinized until ow, and successfully helped people lose weight, so it’s not the accuracy of the scales that is an issue.

This is blatant consumer fraud and nothing in your field can change that fact, clearly.

A cup is 32 teaspoons, 3 teaspoons per tablespoon, ergo 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. I know this offhand because:

1. I cook
2. I can count

It’s a base 2 measurement system for the most part. Also highly inefficient and imperfect, but so is metric for cooking.

That does not apply in today’s world where shrinkflation and consumer fraud run rampant.

It us solely the company’s responsibility to ensure each package is labeled with the correct weight, not the consumer to tolerate excuses like “measuing errors” whether they’re valid or not. Companies have too much power to just not know or be able to accurately weigh or label their product, ergo if there’s a problem, they chose to have it in there. And if you dispute that, I will simply block you and move on.

Stop defending evil corporations. Stop doing this.

I’ll take blatant consumer fraud for $500, Alex

A quick search gave me this: https://www.makeuseof.com/best-dumb-tvs/

I might save up and pick up one of the 32" ones after the holidays.

And this is why we buy dumb TVs

When your dumbass looked at me telling you you can’t just do whatever you want, and you responded, “Actually yes, I can”. Like a fucking child.

When you devolve into insults instead of responding with anything substantive because you know I am right and you are wrong.

And when deep down inside you felt the pit in your heart grow like a fucking maw when confronted with the fact that reality exists independently of your whim and whimsy.

Now you don’t get a say in what is canon and what is not. Only original creators can do that. Other people’s works are derivatives at best. That’s the reality you have to learn to accept because reality won’t change simply because you don’t like it.

Now when you grow up and actually become an adult, we can continue this conversation. I am not gonna waste any more time arguing with a child.

No, you don’t.

You can certainly write fanfiction and create fanart all you want to. People have done it for thousands of years. But it’ll never be the original story no matter how much you want it to be.

You are not the original creator of the franchise. Grow up and get over it.

Getting mad at me for telling you the truth won’t change that fact, and it won’t make Jaffe any less correct in his complaint that the writers deliberately destroyed his creation and his original intent. Because they did, and they admitted they did it because they didn’t want a pro revenge story in media.

Go look up the interviews with the recent GoW writers. Go actually do some research instead of throwing a temper tantrum here because I won’t let you do what you want.

Objective reality is a thing whether you want it to be or not. You don’t get to decide what the truth is.

They don’t, because they’re not the original writers and stories are art, not corporate marketing products.

You don’t have the right to do whatever you want simply because you like it.

I’m confused, is everyone upset the new games have more depth or are they upset the new games oppose revenge?

Anti-revenge stories are blatantly shallow, preachy propaganda pieces that seek to fulfill a political agenda.

Pro-revenge stories absolutely can and often do have depth and well-written characters.

So let’s stop conflating the two.

Ehh, h’s not wrong. If this David Jaffe guy is a pro-revenge type, of course he has the right to be unhappy: the writers for the new games blatantly said in interviews they completely changed the story around to oppose revenge, completely against the wishes of this Jaffe fellow apparently. Which is ironically a vengeful act.

People don’t have the right to just change stories to suit their personal opinions and the new writers need to learn to respect that.

Lest the writers after that change it back to a pro-revenge story with depth and good writing just to spite them.

Blatant anti-revenge stories are bland, predictable, preachy and uninteresting.
