I’m going to be splitting hairs here so feel free to disregard I just wanted to be precise.
Stab wounds and other immediately life threatening treatment is about as good as can be expected and emergency rooms can’t turn you down for finance/insurance reasons. You’ll get a massive bill but they can’t really deny you healthcare in this instance.
Now, where you get really fucked over is the years and years of preventative healthcare that would normally prevent/treat the worst outcome as well as the refusal to seek help for what should be concerning enough to warrant a hospital visit otherwise over cost. Torn rotator cuff? Take 1000mg of over-the-counter ibuprofen and hope it goes away.

Entertainment value is value, my dog has value to me but is nothing but a monetary cost. It is in how I enjoy having my dog so much that I will pay the monetary cost because he is that valuable to me.
Someone downloading and using an app isn’t indicative to that app having much value to the end user.

Of those 800 million, how many are paying? That number could be easily over-represented by people doing things without real value to them. I also don’t know how many of those users need professional help whether it be severe social anxiety so it is an outlet or the people who find intimacy in a chatbot.
Like, you’re right there has to be some value to it but I just can’t ses trillions of USD in value.

The english-using internet is predominantly American men so it’s a sampling bias unless you were to switch languages.
It’s pretty ironic we’re talking about being confidently incorrect, with confidence, and based on anecdote with no research.

Hmmm let me just look at the title of this post. Oh yeah. PC at PC price. Holy shit no way.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
None of them are comparable to the Steam Machine as it’s not a console. I’m just saying $650 is pretty average console pricing now.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
You stated incorrect information then doubled down that your incorrect information was true till finally actually looking it up to then assert that out of 3 consoles $500, $650, and $750 that $650 is not console pricing. So yes, $650 is console pricing, what’re you gonna do tell me I’m wrong again because you have some strong feelings?
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
No, the disc driveless PS5 is $500. I’m looking at it right now on the playstation website. The PS5 Pro is $750.
$650 is console pricing now. You don’t have to like it but that is the reality.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
The Xbox Series X is $650 and the PS5 is $500.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
While I agree it is cheaper to build your own it also wont be as small as the Steam Machine.
It’s just that Valve has made a point that it will be priced like a PC, if it is priced like a PC then $650 is far too close to current console pricing. I want to be wrong here, I want it to be cheap and really push Linux into the mainstream. I’m just far too cynical and I expect it to be the most pointless product until proven otherwise.

Plus those Cyberpower PC’s have to factor in a Windows license into the cost.
Honestly, the Steam Machine needs to be less than $800 to be viable.

Could? The US is in outright pseudoscience and anti-intellectualism with disdain for programs that support innovation.

When you don’t have a savings or a house, it feels kinda rich.

I wish Gen X would shut the fuck up like you say they do. Reeks of desperate middle child every time.

I’m not sure if they can anymore. Civ 7 broke me on how it shoe-horned in systems to make money that ultimately broke what was a tried and tested formula.

I think it should be taken a bit further and just don’t buy anything from 2K if you can.

- Comment on Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming 4 months ago:
I just hope all the developers unionize. Microsoft is such a diverse company it’s nearly impossible to boycott into any type of pressure. If firing one group could cause another team to strike it might at least slow them down.
- Comment on So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance... 5 months ago:
Both sides arguments are actually pretty enlightened. You can have criticisms of both candidates and vote for harm reduction. If anything the inability to criticize both sides for where they are the same is the same type of belligerent as MAGA. Harris running on building a fucking wall was a fucking disgrace.
But fuck not blaming voters for their stupid fucking decisions and fuck the sham of a democracy the US electoral system is. FPTP and WTA elections in the modern age are a fucking disgrace as well as no equal representation and voting with money.

Who would have thought a government created in model of a constitutional monarchy would do this?
Oh right, all the people who opposed the US constitution. People forget the Anti Federalists every time.

There’s also the reverse effect where kernel level anticheats provide the illusion of no cheaters so people can cheat more openly without being reported or kicked from the lobby/server like the old days.

Oops, my bad lol

Sounds like aluminum is a loaner and iron plays well with others. I’d bet there is still more iron encountered every day than aluminum even if the aluminum is pure and the iron is alloyed.
