- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 1 day ago:
Making politicians even more susceptible to corruption. Great populism. Populism tends to serve the roch after all.
- Comment on Women accounted for almost all of job gains in August. Here’s why 2 days ago:
Because part time jobs tyou take up to make ends meet can be held multiple at a time.
That’s also why pay is low. They just aren’t weighted for (real) hours worked.

People tend to not be mobile when it comes to their (radical) political beliefs.
- Comment on Spirituality 5 days ago:
I would have loved a extra tier, middle tier is beer and pre roll, expert is vodka, and a roll up.
- Comment on why do we punish people when nothing bad happened ? 5 days ago:
Because you weren’t able to know nothing bad would happen. Your guilt is dependent on the risk you took.
Imagine shooting a gun with your eyes closed in a random spot. Is it ok to do if noone was in the line of fire?
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
Accepting such posts does mean becoming even more vulnerable to misinformation and propaganda hence I don’t.
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
Can you give any sources? Personal experience from an anonymous account on a niche website isn’t to be taken as truth :(
- Comment on Prisoners freed early are returning to jail at rapid rate, governors tell BBC 1 week ago:
Are there similar precautions in effect? Seems weird not to have this. If someone is insane to the degree of being incapable of guilt in the eyes of the law and poses a threat to the public you probably should be able to get him into a psych ward until they get well.

Probably fake or misleading. There aren’t enough calories pictured in these images.
- Comment on We don’t need 75-inch TVs, we need 75% off basic survival. 💀 1 week ago:
Manufacturing semiconductors has rather low materials cost. The challenge is actually turning the raw metals into a functioning device. And that’s been getting cheaper and by a lot. We aren’t hitting physical limits. Even in fucking batteries we are getting more and more capacity out of the same raw materials through better manufacturing.
Also as machines age their machine time tends to be valued less as compared to bleeding edge node machine time. Research has been paid.

Arguing for cost of production vs cost of service offerings in a vacuum is the issue since. And trying to argue that they make their profit just in ads and services is the thing you shouldn’t do, as they do not add the TV cost they “subsidize” to their cost. Since profits are very slim any small source of income with low cost suddenly becomes the source of profit if you fudge the math this way. Imagine that they would sell remotes separately at high cost compared to the materials cost e.g. for 20 bucks. Then they could reduce the TV price by 20/buyrate dollars, lowering TV profits but have a high margin item they can tout to investors. Even though almost nothing changed they reduced their tv manufacturing profits without changing their total profits.

Production difficulties are extremely important to the price. 10 years ago displays were much small not for lack of ads, but because semiconductor manufacturing changed. You used to be unable to produce them in that size and error rate.

The issue with this calculus is that they would not turn a profit from the services if they stopped making tvs. This means dividing out these into separate accounts with separate costs is idiotic.
- Comment on We don’t need 75-inch TVs, we need 75% off basic survival. 💀 1 week ago:
That’s bookkeeping magic. They are not talking about the cost of tvs and to consumers but their profit.
Their lower cost divisions such as ads and sponsorship can only operate for they sell tvs. I.e. their cost isnt reflected accurately.
They even talk about how the hardware section’s revenue is much, much greater. But when you got those bonus earnings you can undercut your competition ever so slightly or even sell at a minor loss in the manufacturing while still making a profit. But this barely matters to the price the consumer actually pays.

That’s not really the only thing going on in tech. Sure TVs are a very competitive market where that is being done in part. But a vast majority of the price cut must be attributed to technological advancement.

Issue is that entertainment and electronics are getting easier to produce. Food does not. And the free market is coming for you.
- Comment on The Walmart in my town didn’t clearly don’t care lol 1 week ago:
After 10 years other people are working there. It’s not a person after all.
And you tend to have to buy your stuff somewhere after all. No consumption is no option.
- Comment on The Walmart in my town didn’t clearly don’t care lol 1 week ago:
Mhhhh, seems like grandfathered in hate from 20 years ago, but fair enough. To be fair to them: I would expect all budget grocers/stores to be just as bad.
- Comment on The Walmart in my town didn’t clearly don’t care lol 1 week ago:
Is Walmart evil for another reason than just their size and hate of corps?
- Comment on The Walmart in my town didn’t clearly don’t care lol 1 week ago:
This is incomprehensible for the non Americans.

That’s a lot to pay for rent, but I guess US rent just hits different.

Yeah, that belongs in the kink sub. (Hihi)

You gotta put some kind of subversion in there. There is no punchline, just kink.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
I don’t expect them to have shaven armpits. I do not care either way. It’s a weird thing to notice anyway.
- Comment on Well darn. 2 weeks ago:
Way in the past it was somewhat common, judging from movies and tv series from the past

Spelling reform (the natural way) is spooky
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
Thanks. Thought they said the actor should just do all the afformentioned things.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
It’s ok if they do it. It’s not ok to be mad if they don’t go far enough. Are you going to cripple the house actor for realisms sake?
Creating these demands and expectations is not ok.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
Forcing actors to grow body hair in their more intimate areas should not be a virtue. That’s weird and over the line and you should be ashamed.
It’s a movie. It’s not a realistic story and shown through a camera, not someone’s real eyes. Suspend your disbelief or leave.
- Comment on 📛Killdozers, Rollout!📛 2 weeks ago:
But is that unusual? They also have tanks, logistic vehicles and other common war fighting equipment. I had a read and it seems than armored bulldozers are rather common. Ie. They didn’t engineer a weapon for home and infrastructure destruction, but have a thing with an actual, Geneva compliant use case.
