Liver disease can do this too. Alcoholics will often get this kind of belly. Any other disorder that fills abdomen with fluid can do it too, though I think that’d generally be an emergency situation.

BedbugCutlefish@lemmy.worldtoData is Beautiful@lemmy.world•Who Stops a "Bad Guy With a Gun"?English4·10 months agoIts the culture war mentality.
“Our idea would work, if the damn Wokes didn’t stop us all from having guns at all times!”
Its always the reason why ‘their ideas don’t work’; cause their opponents aren’t ‘letting them’
BedbugCutlefish@lemmy.worldtoData is Beautiful@lemmy.world•Who Stops a "Bad Guy With a Gun"?English592·10 months agoI agree with the point this is trying to make, but I don’t think it does its job.
Like, the whole argument from the ‘good guy with a gun’ crowd is about stopping them early. You’d need to cross reference each of these catagories with ‘how many people did the mass shooter kill’. And, this would really only be a strong argument vs the ‘good guy with a gun’ point if the ‘shot by bystander’ result had no fewer average deaths.
Additionally, it’s easy to clap back with ‘well, yeah, our society doesn’t have enough “good people” trained with guns, that’s why it’s only 5%!’
Again, I don’t agree with those points, it’s just that this chart is pretty bad at presenting an argument against them.
BedbugCutlefish@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to makeEnglish1·11 months agoEh, apples to oranges.
A 60$ game today is so unlike a 60$ two or three decades ago.
No physical medium. Much larger market and (potential at least) sales volume.
Proliferation of game engines; games don’t need to ‘reinvent the wheel’ each time, or write machine code anymore.
On top of that, there’s many other revenue streams. Not that I think this model is ‘fair and good’, but look at the mobile market, where a sale cost of $0 is king.
Something to be said about ‘lower cost incentivizing bad practices’ (as the article discusses), and yeah, some games could raise their price. But it’s far fron 1-1, as ‘sales volume’ trumps ‘sale price’ in importance.

Something I just dealt with the entirety of my first playthrough of ER. But the fact that it still isn’t fixed really makes me not want to play, or to pay them money.
BedbugCutlefish@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Elden Ring DLC launches to "Mixed" reviews as players bemoan difficulty, PC performance in Shadow of the Erdtree: "There's a big problem with balancing"English81·1 year agoYeah, I’m holding off for a sale on this one. I liked Elden Ring well enough, but the performance issues are infuriating. Baffling that it still isn’t fixed.

The cure may be $15,000 for travel.English52·1 year agoThis sounds like textbook paranoid schizophrenia. The comments about ‘downloading’ into her body and tingling/tremors/shocks are all very common. I feel bad for her, and also fuck those ‘spiritualists’ who have already taken $8000 from her.

Edit: man, y’all really hate people with schizophrenia, huh?
