Generically US tourists are terrible but specifically when it comes to the taking of photographs the Chinese win by a serious margin. Streets ahead, if you'll excuse the pun.
Tourist: Nice street, I'll take a photograph. American tourist: Get out of my way, my $5000 camera will take a better photograph than your shitty cellphone if you can all just move Chinese tourist: Is the one stood in the way taking a selfie with their shitty cellphone, or using video chat to show their mother the street with them in it, oblivious to the disruption they're causing to other tourists, the locals and even each other
Shrug, he doesn't want people to stare at his legs he shouldn't wear a miniskirt.
If he's in public then photographs will also be taken, posted online, accompanied by comments like, "Now that's a pair of legs" and "He should do commercials for tights".
There'll be some top linked site to a shitty Google search term like 'must see in paris' that includes idiocy like "Oh you absolutely must photograph this street, look at these awesome houses"
Everybody goes, "Oh, I better do that, and I can post it on look-at-me-gram"
source: too fucking many websites telling me to photograph this or that street in this or that city.
Hmm, C# was designed by an expert language designer that looked at Java, kept the good bits and improved elements of the rest.
The main things he did wrong were allowing direct memory access, and allowing his employer to cripple the deployment environment.
Apart from that C# was a bloody good language from the outset. I'm not sure I'd say it was better than Java but Java's gone downhill substantially since then.
It doesn't matter if you're a 90lb girl or a 303lb pro wrestler if it comes to a match of strength between you and a cow you lose and you lose hard.
I've been to a rodeo and trust me, the men get the beef into the dirt.
While I'm sure a woman could do too I think there's definitely an advantage in having a man's build and strength for that one.
But that's not what we're talking about with cows. If you're going to go shoulder deep into a cow's vagina it's probably to pull something out, and I can see where strength would be an advantage.
Still, I suspect most female vets just want to look after cute cuddly animals, not deal with dangerous smelly livestock. Because women are sensible and choose safe comfortable jobs.
Yes, I always carry speed lights and portable strobes halfway around the world and across a Yam garden, over the pig-proof fence and into the rain forest.
I found high pixel count but low graphics detail worked best in Unreal Tournament. Greater precision for your shooting but still stupidly fast screen refreshes.
Of course, that was using a CRT monitor, and having a 1Mbps cable connection may have helped a little against all the people on dial-up. Maybe.
No shit sherlock. Although that doesn't help when the sun's behind them, the sky's already clipping and the vegetation is horribly bright, yet their face is still lacking definition.
But hey, the man lying on a beach in Papua New Guinea with a pig asleep across his back came out just fine, so maybe I'm just getting lucky.
It doesn't prove "the patriarchy". It doesn't even prove that media organisations are full of shit (which we knew).
It merely proves that the precious darling bitterly complaining doesn't understand that media organisations are full of shit and that sometimes being a woman isn't enough to get special treatment.
However, since male nurses are discriminated against (e.g. being expected to do all of the heavy lifting) men would be fucking insane to enter that profession.
Just don't set the vest to strobe or I'll aim for you.
Not even on purpose, it draws my eye and my attention and my steering instinctively follows. Although even if I miss you I'll want to turn and have a second go, I fucking hate strobe lights when I'm driving.
If that's not enough to see a person in the dark, then I'm not sure what is.
It's enough to luminate a person in the dark but there's still the challenge of differentiating them from the background while dealing with controlling a vehicle, looking for other obstructions, coping with weather and/or a dirty windscreen, checking satnav and bouncing up and down in time to whatever music is playing.
Which is why I drive slower when I have poor visibility and pedestrians are likely, but wearing dark clothing still isn't going to help you.
What the fuck is snowflake about this? Image recognition systems have a discernable measurable flaw that impinges on their ability to support required safety levels. That's not snowflake, that's technology and something to explore and address.
The problem with AAA games are the mobs of people smearing them online
Is it fuck. People were begging for Star Wars Battlefront, for Red Dead Redemption, for Anthem. They want an experience, they want high production values, they want fun.
What many publishers are trying to deliver to them is a microtransaction hell with gameplay compromised to 'encourage' ongoing revenue. No fucking wonder the gamer demographic is responding strongly.
So it's not a bad decision for them. They're making a profit through engagement with Nintendo's audience.
They could profit more in the short term without Nintendo's constraint but long term they'd damage the IP and have to develop and market new ones. If they could do that they would have (and may well be), but there are no circumstances in which working with Nintendo is a bad decision for them.

If you mean R Kelly then I think it's a tad unfair to suggest that "Not having $1m" qualifies as "don't have any money".

It's fine, there's a mod war going on with that comment anyway - hence currently being score 3: Troll.
I'd rather people try to refute my point than merely mod it down but that's how things go.
Yes, I always carry speed lights and portable strobes halfway around the world and across a Yam garden, over the pig-proof fence and into the rain forest.
I mean, who wouldn't.
Yeah, it's the nurses I know that told me the men get asked to do all the heavy lifting.
Sure, the women do a lot too. When the men aren't around.

Sometimes.

He's probably stolen $137m and you think he's worried about imprisonment for faking a death certificate?
Yeah, I reckon he can probably afford the certificate and the risk.
If it helps, you also failed to run me over last night too, so I think you can claim to be an equal opportunity accident avoider.

But sure, I'll go for the spanking.
Unprofessional photographer here. Not just focus, but also correct automatic exposure too.
But I buy cameras designed and made in Japan, so I wont blame Western civilisation.
You're also a fucking idiot. Skin colour has no fucking correlation to using a defined crossing.
Culture does; Chinese people seem incapable of avoiding them. British people treat them as convenient but entirely optional.
That game is not the evil loot box monster everyone made it out to be
That's because the backlash was so fucking strong against the attempted exploitation:

IF your religious belief precludes your kids from vaccines, fine
My religious requires me to brutally torture people that refuse to vaccinate their children.
why are nazis pushing this recreational vaccine so hard?
Skilled medical professionals seeking eradication of community destroying diseases are now nazis?
Fucking hell.
Just what the fuck is a recreational vaccine anyway? Since when did recreational mean 'strong contributor to longevity and quality of life'?
MMR has been proven to cause autism over and over in court
That's interesting. Which cases were those, I haven't seen them.
