I’ve been incredibly broke before and I think it’s different kind of protective. I’m frugally protective at trying to keep something working but that’s a different kind of possesive.

Of course you will care about food when you are starving. And you won’t care about scraps and leftovers when you are not.

But like that was a change of not being afraid to lose something you can rebuy. I’m sure their is plenty of non disposable items that you would have and ideals that you hold onto as truths about yourself. And im sure you don’t viewing housing and transportation as disposable.

Yeah I think they misunderstood what was happening cause they were getting wealthier as they got older.

Honestly, you just become more protective of your stuff and things you consider yours as you get older.

There are plenty of nerds that are super conservative about their fandoms and what is allowed to happen with them and same for all kinds of niches but the idea we would get more conservative with money really assumed we would accumulate more of it and assets. But what people do have is their apps and thoughts and those… Those people will be just as conservative as the boomers are about their money as they get older.

Seconded

Woah! I knew that was gonna be impressive and I was taught to share!

Now you are a part of a joke that will live on in those people’s heads for their life.

Oh I usually block the ads via a pihole and don’t even bother logging in. Tubi is great

Yeah but if they double the price and only lose 1/3 of their customers that is a profit. They are aiming for that equilibrium price and honestly more people are willing to pay to never have their entertainment end than we could ever hope for.

So this has been true of YouTube Red since the beginning. It’s one if the reasons I got it. But they use watch time as the way to divide your money out. It actually makes it extremely unfair split for people that make great but short content. It’s also why longer content became more popular around that time and those 24/7 streams run like that.

Also why creators started doing channels of just padded run time content of like building legos and eating things. It’s to secure better and funding.

The current setup is pretty busted and feels like the wheels are coming off again.

Yea I agree with so much of what you are saying, China gets a pass to distribute cheap dangerous crap cause at least it was cheaper for the middle man selling it.
But also:

anmass

Enmasse its another French loan word.

As someone that does this…

People say I’m irritating but endearing.

So take that as you will.

Oh, ew.

Thanks for the correction but also that’s… About right for America and billionaires.

Just allowed in to fuck with people, hack phones, steal money and leave.

So that explains Fox being owned by an Australian then?

Yeah always had a good chuckle at the people that would try to point out the echo chamber hypocrisy in a subreddit and be upvoted but yelled at so hard then banned.

Same story every time.

Yeah, I find straight up abandoning your shit family is a not completely bad idea.

You’d be surprised at the jobs out there that simply let you get on a train or a boat and simply leave it all behind if you want to.

Just please then don’t jump off the back of my boat. The point is that it might be lonelier than guaranteed family but ocean is a bad way to go.

Yeah, the people leading the “AGI will save us” are the same as super church pastors.
They don’t believe it, they just want their bank account limitless before they go into oblivion.

I mean I had actually had a conversation a long while ago when I originally fell in love with Annapurna games about my perceived dangers of it being run almost single handedly by a billionaire playing around with her Dad’s money that the level of control she had would make it risky to treat like a legitimate company but they really put the gold star stamp of approval on so many games they made and published.

Honestly this won’t really hurt the billionaire. She has the publishing contracts still and whatever partial finished games were already in development but I really do hope the best for the actual talent and employees.

I really want to see them help push into that more united gaming labor force that the Henry Stickman developers foundation (Outersloth), and other groups are doing to let them actually help games be unique and good.

I really love how many of the buttons in settings either open an edge web page where Microsoft shrugs at you or just opens the control panel for you to actually get something done…

But hey when I need to turn off transparency effects cause it’s making all my taskbar icons disappear every time I swap desktops the new settings page works great. Sometimes.

God they needed actual competition. Or something.

That’s like actually the next line though.

“Amerika, coco-cola, wonderbra”

Its the actual joke that they have all the same products.

That came after the us government pushed the swedish government

🎶 We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar 🎵

Oh sure. I meant like don’t buy one made of plastic or a convertible without a roll bar. But speed and luck are your defining odds for survival.

You can push the odds but using a heavier car to be more reckless elsewhere driving to keep the same odds of dying in a crash is so dumb.

I like that it very slowly alternates just subtly enough to make you question your sanity like one of these actual types of people.
