This is why I generally push bills instead of letting them pull. Yeah, it’s a bit of a chore to go in and change amounts every month, but if I forget, the default will probably overpay the bill slightly.
And I don’t have to worry about the electric company deciding they want to randomly pull $1200 this month.

It works well. They were going for the dehumanization of women and they achieved it.

Because saying otherwise in your messaging is counterproductive. The people you reach through a finish media meme aren’t the ones who will respond to that in a way you want.
The “where do you draw the line” animals one is much better messaging.
Is your goal to influence people towards your cause or away from it?
- Comment on Carnists be like... 1 week ago:
When you’re working on your messaging, try to remember that
Humans are more important than animals.
Whether you believe it or not, it’ll further your goals.

9 cents is probably just generation. I’d expect to pay about the same for delivery.
- Comment on Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers? 1 week ago:
There was, but it’s shipped by Amazon. The site just redirects to an Amazon store.

Horse and sparrow theory?
- Comment on Boomer comics 2 weeks ago:
For those who don’t know, this phrase has come full circle.
It started as something literally impossible. Then people started using it to say they did it anyway. Expecting what is supposed to be impossible out of people is insane.

I’d recommend going exactly the same speed on either, and it’s not particularly fast.

We literally have this. We call it the “shoulder”.

For anyone interested in this, I’d encourage you to look for the facts, and not just go by what feels to be the prevailing opinion.
The “prevailing opinion” is easy to manipulate, and it’s an easy way to manipulate us. They’re effective at generating a certain vibe to establish their desired narrative.

That’s what I was here to post.

Would you enjoy being a garbage man or a plumber? Or is that work you’re saving for others to enjoy?
Doctors make good money and we don’t have enough of them because it takes so much time and dedication. You think getting rid of money would help there?
Do kids need to go to school? Five days a week?

Automated by who?
We do need incentives to work. As technology and efficiency advances we should be able to work less, but we still need people to do work they/we don’t want to do.
Personally I think people are pretty happy working 24 hours a week even if their job isn’t something they love doing. I’m more interested in working towards that, slowly, over time, than just going to “nobody needs to work”.

In an era of anti-vox bullshit, it’s not acceptable to be that incorrect in your “oversimplification”.
- Comment on Why is us rail travel so expensive? 1 month ago:
Except for the whole shitload of jet fuel part.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
The amount of man hours, time, etc etc to make a game? Fuck that
And 30% of the purchase price doesn’t go to those people. It goes to Gabe’s yacht.

Using those services or run their own?
If they could have still images and text on the Steam store and a link to their external site for everything else, it’d by far be running their own.
It’s the exposure that Steam has an effective monopoly on.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I’m not gonna say Steam sucks. It’s a nice organizational tool that enforces some standards.
I’d rather have a drm free game that’s 20% cheaper though. The devs can pocket the other 10%.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Honestly not that much. The biggest thing Valve brings to the table is advertising and access to customers.
Hosting doesn’t cost that much. If you were that desperate for bandwidth (no one is), torrents exist as an option. Blizzard used to have torrents built into their downloader.
The infrastructure is a nice afterthought.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Do You have any idea what the hosting infrastructure, steam works, and traffic costs?
Yeah, not 30% of all PC games. It’s how they turn out absurd profit.
