SO, I ask this: should I just delete the game or keep fighting a sisyphean battle knowing that the cheaters are ultimately going to go unpunished and I am just going to lose my mind?

This is extra sad, because Niantec was very good at enforcing those rules when they were actually running a game (Ingress) and not just using all the data we collected for them to make an info- and money-farm (Pokemon Go)

You should delete the game, but not instead of anything else, just delete it and move on.

I don't know if it's any good anymore, but when Ingress died to give birth to Pokemon Go I moved on to a game called Resources and found it quite enjoyable for a year or two.

I know. I double posted because of server issues and couldn't edit it easily due to server issues.

Im getting sick of fast food employees not asking 2 basic questions and assuming answers. The 2 basic questions? 1. If a credit card is used: would you like the receipt? (The ok assumption is yes. Better to have and not need than need and not have). 2. Do you want ketchup? I dont mind it but i cant stand packets of it. What do they assume 85%+ of the time? No to the first yes to the second. Its irritating!

i dont care how little they care as employees. These are basic questions a proper manager should drill into them. When I got certified as a hospitality manager it was laser etched into me.

On the topic of fast food and how their employees can't give a damn about things, I LOATHE McDonalds because every time i try to order from their app, they get my order wrong. Every. Single. Time.

I generally go easy on the employees, but I have a serious complaint about the food trays. Who does every place I go have trays that bulge uowards, making stuff roll off them?

fast food should not be taken internally.

That's the problem (and the difference). You were certified as a hospitality manager. Chet at the drive through is at work instead of at his girlfriend's house because he needs money for gas to drive to his girlfriend's house. His priorities start and stop with getting his minimum wage paycheck and you literally do not matter to him and never will.

And as Nuke said, you're better off eating pretty much anything else as the fast food companies care about making good food about as much as Chet cares if you get ketchup.

If you mean that warp upwards in the middle? Its because the trays go into an industrial dishwasher that has water thats near 200°F for sanitization purposes. It triggers the plastic of cheap trays to weaken then warp as they cool.

I really miss Dr Who. Iplayer has [redacted] repeats, but I missed my chance to get the the originals when they were unedited. I'd also like to see Star Wars (original edit), missed my chance on that too. *sobs into cuff*
