In reality, the ones who didn’t care would outnumber the ones who did.

Flour is worth an entire cabinet or shelf. One of the cheapest ways to eat possible
- Comment on What even is money at this point 1 week ago:
When you pay rent. When you pay the bank. Most of paying is for labor, yes, a crazy amount more than most people realize. But the wealthy skim some off the top, and that portion isn’t paying for labor.

Case in point. If you’re buying a 2 pound flour bag you’re scamming yourself lol
- Comment on What even is money at this point 1 week ago:
If 1 kg of flour is 2$ but a small piece of bread is 7$ you know it’s a scam…
This is ignoring labor costs and possible artisan experience, depending on where you buy bread. Also funny because paying $2 for a kg of flour would be a crazy scam; that’s more expensive than even the some of the fancier flour brand

For desktops, I would assume most people are building their own, yes.
- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 1 month ago:
Windows does not come with a desktop, unless you’re buying pre built, in which case you don’t mind spending extra money for the same product

That’s for laptops, not desktops
- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 1 month ago:
Seriously, do people pay for windows? I’ve transitioned one copy I got on my laptop a dozen years ago through a few separate pc builds. And duplicated another key, which was quite easy

I’m hoping that supreme court is too tech deaf to even understand the implications this has on corps, and so that they don’t take this ruling back
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 months ago:
Why do you think considering someone human is mutually exclusive with wishing death upon them/thinking it’s fine for them to die.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 months ago:
Yes, it does. Because when you don’t acknowledge someone, you start pretending they shouldn’t have any rights at all, and then you can fall victim, far more easily, when they scapegoat someone, or fall victim to that hatred being redirected to an invalid target
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 months ago:
Are you incapable of fighting someone you consider human?
