Nice, I’ll have to see if I can dig up my apk of the paid version.

Can you log in yet? Last time I did this I couldn’t log into an account, only browse.

First, I do get a different brand, that’s my point. Second, now you’re telling me to buy it in bulk to always have around? I don’t want to spend that much on an already expensive chocolate and it’ll probably just go fast from my kids anyway. Plus in summer it’ll either melt from the heat or be rock hard from being in the fridge, neither is ideal.

Also, usually I’ll just buy it as a treat when we’re already out. If I’m trying to split a chocolate between 4 people at a shopping centre, I’m not going to be carrying around a knife, I want to be able to just easily break it into 4 sections. Nor am I going to think before we leave “I should grab 4 of those chocolates I bought online in my pocket in case we want some”.

I have no problem just getting a different brand to avoid the hassle, all I’m saying is maybe I’d get theirs if it wasn’t designed so stupidly. But I’m sure they don’t care enough about getting business from 1 random guy to change it, so I’m fine getting others.

So now you’re telling me to order a small bar of chocolate online to come God knows when, and pay postage for an already expensive chocolate… If I want a single serve of chocolate I don’t want to wait for it to come by delivery days later, these aren’t reasonable solutions.

Tony’s only comes in 180g bars where I live, there is no smaller size. If you’re going to say I should buy a different one then, well I thought I made clear I already do because of their stupid design, but if I wanted to support them because of other good reasons, they only have the one stupid option either way.

If I have to get a knife out to eat my chocolate bar it’s already become more hassle than it’s worth.

They could have rectangles and squares of uneven sizes that still have normal break lines, they choose not to. Heck they could even have triangles that break neatly if they really wanted to by putting a diagonal line down some squares or rectangles.

Lawyers don’t even try to represent themselves if they’re taken to court. They’ll be the first to tell you you need a lawyer no matter who you are. There’s no scenario where it isn’t a bad idea to try to represent yourself.

The perfect solution is to research which to buy for 9 months and then decide you don’t need it that much anyway.

I’m fully ready to get torn apart for this. I get victim blaming is wrong. But sometimes you can make better choices based on available information, regardless of whether it’s your fault if something happens.

If there’s a street called Drag Race Avenue where every person that lives on it drag races up and down it all day and every week there’s a news story of someone getting hit using the crossing on Drag Race Avenue, maybe you shouldn’t use the crossing on that street. Sure, it won’t be your fault if you get hit, but how much comfort will that be when you’re injured or dead?

It’s possible to make choices that are objectively morally/legally/ethically right that are still stupid choices. Unfortunately we don’t live in a world where as long as you do the right thing, so will everyone else and nothing bad will ever happen to you.

Hazards are a part of life. In many if not all workplaces there are hazards. Due to this there are hazard controls, along with a widely accepted list of most effective to least effective ways to deal with a hazard. First is to get rid of it entirely (stop people drag racing on that street) but if that’s not possible, the next 2 are replace the hazard then isolate the hazard. In other words, if something exists that you can’t stop from existing, your best course of action is to stay away from it / out of its way if possible.

These controls aren’t about victim blaming, they’re about making hazards as safe as possible. It’s not illegal to carry a box that’s too heavy for you, but you still may be injured by doing so. There’s a reason workplaces have 100s of policies that aren’t illegal but they decided you can’t do there. Because there are many things that exist that you can do that are entirely legal but could still harm you.

Emulators might not be illegal, but Nintendo is a hazard to them that can’t be eliminated.

I guess it depends on whether you care more about being right, or more about being safe.

These people could make the choice to be safer if they wanted to. They could be more anonymous if they wanted to. They could stay out of Nintendo’s way. But if being right that they’re not doing anything wrong is more important so be it. Maybe they consider it worth being shut down in order to draw attention to the issue. That’s up to them.

Game mechanics should not be patentable, change my mind.

I still don’t know how half the games at timezone can be allowed for kids.

The best sims game is The Sims Bustin’ Out.

Haven’t been there for a long time but I’ve literally been banned from some subs I never even visited for posting something they didn’t like on a different sub.
