You’re not the only one. Pretty sure I got W3 with dlc for $5 ages ago. I’d like to get cyberpunk with dlc for no more than $15. Especially since I was pretty hype for that game. Had been itching for something with a proper world to explore and get lost in, felt like it was going to scratch that itch. I don’t often buy things day one, but I was taken in by the advertising and CDprojects rep. I took the day off work and then didn’t even buy it because of everything.

Sure but Nebula is cheaper than youtube premium AND pays it’s creators more because it’s a platform owned by it’s creators.

Because I’m stupid (I convinced myself I wanted to say something slightly different, deleted the original, then while writing it differently decided it was better off as is. Yes I know I can edit)

It’s okay girl I’ve got some extra hair ties laying around here somewhere.

“I can make her worse”? We don’t do that here.

In my experience, telegram is one of those “if someone asks you to go on this app, they’re trying to scam you” platforms. Flatly avoid.

Is the earth considered a high gravity planet?

So, forest spirit seeks tribute and those paying tribute review it on their own, sure. Someone eventually brings this up while paying tribute, alright, I’m still with you. But “the spirit of the deep woods has a smart phone with a data plan and the means to keep it charged” is where I start to get real worried.

I mean, I have some, because I already know my phone is spying on me even more aggressively. I don’t have any illusion that I had privacy in the first place

It gets worse, actually. On top of everything, those big box businesses pay less people less money to work there, cost more, and pay less in taxes to the point that it actually costs cities money to have them. The cost of maintaining infrastructure for a single business in such a massive parking lot with nothing else far outweighs the tax revenue. The buildings aren’t designed to last more than 10 years, either, so they can’t be repurposed long term without tearing down and rebuilding.

As a reminder for those you in the comments. “Climate change is real, but it’s too late to do anything” is the new “climate change is real but it’s not man made,” which was the new “climate change isn’t real”

Agreed. Let’s not let perfect be the enemy of good. Even if it ONLY makes bribery more expensive, is that not a good thing?

Given that Win10 is getting deprecated this year and Win11 has specific hardware requirements, I think 2025 could be the year of the linux PC. I’ll be curious to see how massive corporations for which this would mean millions or billions in hardware upgrades to stick with Win will square that circle.
