Because it's ragebait. The restaurant accepts baht as normal, but the customer didn't have any cash on them. The restaurant agreed to accept payment in renminbi as a workaround.

What they refused is one particular payment method called ThaiQR, which is not accepted everywhere.

If you disagree, feel free to discuss, no need to be dismissive for no reason.

How is this a history of transphobia?

Link 1: They made a pun using a trending hashtag without checking what the hashtag meant. They apologized when it was explained to them. This is an example of cluelessness or laziness on the part of whoever was running the Twitter account, not of transphobia.

Link 2: In their video game, containing themes like murder, rape, torture, and the abuse of society by megacorporations, they included a megacorporation misusing an image of a trans person for advertising. When asked about it, they confirmed it's part of the evil fictional world that they have created, and obviously they don't condone it, just like they don't condone murder even though the game features a lot of murder. Is it transphobic to include themes of transphobia in a game, even though it's shown as a bad thing?

Link 3: They didn't like a fan's assumption that only men work for the company, and used the "Did you just assume their gender" meme. They apologized when they were told it can be offensive.

I don't see a single example here of them being transphobic on purpose. And speaking of Cyberpunk, it features a major trans character whose struggle you are supposed to emphatise with, so they clearly care about the community.

I agree they should be more careful about what their post, but I think there is a big difference between being transphobic, and accidentally posting something transphobic without meaning it 8 years ago and then apologizing for the mistake.

The point is, the game portraits a terrible world. The game contains people killing each other, that doesn't mean the developers condone people killing each other in real life. The game contains megacorporations misusing images of trans people for advertising, that doesn't mean the developers condone that either.

I think it's usually well understood that something being in a work of media doesn't mean it's representative of the views of the authors, in fact it's very common for media to contain themes like violence and abuse, not because the author is condoning it, but because the author is building a dark world for their piece of fiction.

No need for a toy gun. "3D printed guns" are all actually 3D printed gun components, printed separately, and joined together separately, in almost all cases joined together with metal parts.

So it will stop you from printing a camera grip, as that's the same as a gun grip. It will stop you from printing a flashlight body, as that's the same shape as a silencer. It will stop you from printing a switch toggle, as that's the same as a gun safety switch. Almost all "gun components" are parts with legitimate non-gun-related uses that cannot be distinguished until you see what they are actually used for. A "3D printed gun" is not a gun coming out of a printer, it's lots of separate components coming out of a printer, in separate prints.

And of course the separate issue is that even if your prints are allowed, it means everything you manufacture is uploaded to an online service for judgement, where I'm sure it will be stored securely and not stolen/leaked.

Parallel lines can intersect.

If they are coincident.

I zoomed all the way in and I don't see anything wrong with the text. I even drew horizontal lines on a screenshot to confirm they do in fact sit on the same baselines correctly.

You are claiming breaking bad made up that old school biker meth bit?

The blue color part of it, yes.

Because their other stuff is all real.

Yeah, not sure how that connects to the blue color, what do you mean?

Maybe you just are not familiar with the chemistry in that old school formulation where the ingredient became controlled so it was no longer used?

I sure aren't, I'm just repeating what the showrunners said, the show creators said they made it up as a plot device.

I know, what I'm saying is that explanation is fictional. It wouldn't be blue anyway in real life. The ingredient they used wasn't claimed to be dyed, the show just invented fictional chemistry that makes it blue.

There is definitely more multi-episode storylines and progression as the show goes on, but the problem remains that most of the time they can't really keep amazing tech they find, because it would solve too many problems or make things boring.

It does occasionally happen though. Over the seasons they do accrue an impressive collection of tech which does carry over and is used in episodes going forward.

Are drug dealers actually colouring meth blue to cash in on the popularity of Breaking Bad? As far as I know the show just made it up and real meth is never blue.

I don't think "correctly label FAT32 as FAT32 instead of a versionless FAT" is "lowering ourselves down". In fact I'd say it's the opposite, let's be technically precise and correct, instead of a simplified label that confuses everyone.

And on the other issue, what do you have against file managers being able to mount a network drive? Yeah I can do it in fstab but if I could do it faster right from the file manager I would.

Why is making things better a problem? If Gnome add the mounting feature to their file manager in the future, you will be against it, talking about the good old days where real men edited fstab uphill both ways? Whom does that help?
