Yeah, they imprisoned a Chinese UFC fighter who said he could beat any traditional Chinese martial artist because their kung fu doesn’t work in the real world.

They agreed to set up the match and when he, predictably, beat the living shit out of the spiritual mumbo jumbo guy, over and over again, they claimed he intentionally dishonored China and tried to lock him up.

Then we get to wait for the real once in a lifetime event.

Which is extinction.

It reduces spending, because saving is now exceedingly optimal.

Less spending means inflation generally comes down because companies lower prices to meet the lack of demand.

But yes, too high and it can cause even worse inflation, assuming an even capital distribution among the people.

Yeah, admittedly, those two things are annoying.

I haven’t personally experienced the adblocker thing though, I suspect it’s not intentional, but I’m purely speculating there.

The censoring thing I have run into, and it is very irritating, so I’m with you on that.

Their account deletion policy aside, Crunchyroll is like one of the last remaining bastions of solid streaming for a very reasonable price that hasn’t increased in many years.

There’s plenty of streaming services to cancel and switch to piracy on legitimately, I don’t personally believe Crunchyroll to be one of them.

They said they’re looking to go independent and would update soon

He’s going to be in stiff competition with an orange jackass for cratering the US.

Sometimes you have to pay for keeping things free, if that makes any sense.

FOSS can’t exist in a vacuum. The developers spend a lot of time on things and they need to be paid for their efforts, otherwise we won’t get great products like Sync.

If you want things that are well maintained and supported, then there has to be income for those owners to provide those services.

Sync for lemmy is a top tier client. I’m willing to pay to get and support that model. It’s not like the 17 dollars a year is a big deal. I spend more than that on a single sushi roll sometimes.

God damn, that’s depressing to think about.

I mean, it’s less about that and more about just calling out how stupid many of his decisions have been. What’s wrong with pointing out stupid shit someone does in full view of the public like this?

Seems pretty fair since Musk is behaving like a douchebag

Well, you see, money.

Perhaps with each corner of the X at a 90 degree angle clockwise? You know, to add style points.

We’re afraid of all government spying, including our own. I just think most Americans don’t really understand that other governments, especially in the EU, have significantly better privacy laws and protections for foreigners than America has for its own citizens.

I’ll admit you make some fair points.

This pair are completely incompetent and should absolutely never become parents/grandparents.

However the fact that police investigated, asked for chat logs from a social media provider, and are intimidating the two of them and we’re all talking about it is the entire point.

Fear. They want us to be at reach others throats on this issue.

You sound like a reasonable person. I think we can both agree that what the police are doing right now is wrong. Even at 20 weeks, which is very late in the pregnancy game, as you say, the decision for what to do with her body should have been between her and her doctor only.

We should not have courts getting involved in this crap again like it’s pre the 70s all over. Those were not good times for women.

The two of them could absolutely have been smarter about what they did. But what they did shouldn’t be receiving national attention because it should have stayed between the two of them and their doctor.

You’re still victim blaming.

Good job victim blaming dude. This mother and daughter did absolutely nothing wrong here.

Space Griffon VF9 -for the PlayStation 1

It was a mech combat on the moon game, with great voice acting that turned into a space horror game very slowly over the course of the storyline until you were scared of every room down every hallway and would hear the screams of the thing hunting you in your dreams.

If we don’t make changes, it is catastrophic.

Saying the ship you’re on is taking in water and likely going to sink, is still a very important piece of information to communicate, even if nobody has a bilge pump on hand.

Some people are ignoring the evidence of water pouring into the holds of our ship and screaming that we’re not sinking, and that’s causing a lot of confusion. Confusion that’s keeping us from coordinating properly on how best to keep the ship afloat.

Even if we don’t manage to save the ship, keeping it floating as long as possible gives us more opportunities to be rescued.

Absolutely this.

I’ve used Jerboa and it was decent, but really lacked consistency or a ui that worked.

Wefwef and connect are my two favorites at the moment.

Same. Late to the conversation here, but in the same camp. About to delete a 13.5 year old account.

I’d be fine with Reddit making money, if they did it in an honest and predictable way. The way they’re going about it though is short sighted, deceitful, and completely unnecessary.

They could make money hand over fist if they just tweaked their approach a tad, kept the community happy, etc.

Bundle API usage in with Reddit Premium. Have it use upper limits of say 100k requests/month to the API. Anything over that and it’s on a per 10k/requests billing cycle sort of thing.

Push the cost to the consumer, so if AI wants to scrape all the data, they can pay for it just like everyone else.
