This is kind of like blaming car manufacturers for people not knowing how to drive manual and how cars work under the hood, because they made cars reliable and simple to use.

There's always an incentive to make things more accessible. Skills always become outdated because of that. How many of us know how to skin game and cook it on naked fire? Not many, I presume.

Take into account that I have my linear algebra exam in a week and I merely hope to get a passing grade, but apparently, in the very least they are useful for solving systems of equations using very simple algorithm-based operations.

It's a running joke in the cartoon that people/animals keep calling Pumba a pig, he gets mad and insists he's "Mr. Pig".

Did you just call their mom a pig? It's Mr. Pig!

Could any duck/goose experts please clarify whether that's a goose or not?

I mean, they listen sometimes. But the point is, they, as any other company, were doing it to pretend that they are cool and progressive. As the result they got mostly negative reactions. So why bother with the effort if you're only gonna reduce your already dwindling player base. IIRC, they were very small symbolic events anyway.

I don't remember Rimi. Is it new or was it just small back then? The two main ones were Maxima and iki.

Happy cake day, btw.
