It’s not just a percentage thing. 1 person yesterday to 2 people today is a 100% increase. Not much of a surge, at least in terms of news worthiness. Going from 6% to 10% sounds more news worthy than going from 1% to 2% despite the latter being a much larger percentage increase.

Less than 1% of the world are vegans though. So 99% of people paying that are using it. Quite rare for more things in governance.

We’re all paying for things others benefit from. And yeah, I’m 100% against subsidizing meat. But the reason your food is expensive is because the vegan demographic is considered to be easily over charged for “specialty” overly packaged marketing heavy food products.

Also: people buying organic meatless groceries at Whole Foods-Amazon store won’t save the planet. Ever.

Microsoft makes shit practices standard. They duped their user base into paying for p2p online multiplayer. And that became standard. All the people who said they don’t mind paying for literally nothing made it happen for everyone else on each platform.

I’m a pirate, always will be.

Real debrid. Kodi. Fen add on. Nvidia shield. Done.

Xbox fans will say this is good.

I put that I don’t want much heat retention, want firm, and I like a little bounce (for sex), and it basically told me to get a regular innerspring mattress. So a medium priced sealy or whatever at Costco. Which is what I got last time, and I was happy before so.

There’s a lot of people who call exurban areas suburbs. And everyone has basically changed the definition. Suburbs in the traditional definition are usually close to a city (often within the city limits), and has house but also public transport and close access to the city itself. And in that sense suburbs are probably a very nice balance, compared to exurbs. Exurbs are definitely not a nice balance, as it’s nothing but stroads and shitty plazas, with giant parking lots, and fast food chains.

Brooklyn is technically a suburb. Palmdale, CA is a exurb.

Tbh the best newsites are paid. It sucks. I use archive to get around it, mostly. Free sites usually just rehash the paid site’s actual scoops, with less information, days later, and are cluttered with ads, or feel like lame a blog.

And when I had a free account, those NYT graphic based interactive publications and data visualizations were S tier. Whoever makes those is making the best technical web content around.

And their real time election coverage when the polls are closing - with the needle - is always the best way to see what’s really going on in terms of where the votes are outstanding, and what that means in terms of what the final number will be.

Eg

Also, newspaper journalism in general has always been monetized though a subscription.

Ah sorry I misunderstood.

It will count, but his time served won’t be a drop in the bucket. They’re gonna bury this clown.

He’s not facing two months. He’s facing 115 years to 155 years according to federal sentencing guidelines. Even if he’s only found guilty of one single count, he will do 20 years minimum.

Certain groups of internet people have been saying he’s going to get away with this the entire time. And everything points to the opposite. And now his bail has been revoked, and the goal post is being moved.

This dude is beyond fucked. It’s time to find someone else to talk about when it comes to the failures and special treatment related the justice department. Using him as an example of said failures really waters down that otherwise valid complaint.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t understand the concept of “I’m busy tonight.” Nor have I ever heard of someone thinking it’s rude to not always be available.

Pretty sure they would not eat the person funding them. Militant groups tend to like funding and toys for their activities.

Semantics aside, you have a deeply unhealthy relationship with alcohol, and it’s probably best to find a way to end that relationship before something life ruining happens to you while drunk.

Relatable.

Keep trying. You can do it.

Edit: oh I’m dumb ignore my comment please

Sure I guess. I mean there’s illness that spreads by touch - fecal-oral transmission. Very common in any place with people. People don’t wash their hands. Touch things. People touch those things. Then eat. Bam. Stomach bug/shits.

I wear a mask when I’m on a short plane trip because the odds are high someone will have a airborne illness. And the effort is minimal compared to the probability of exposure. But otherwise I don’t wear one.

Yeah. Well I use my phone in the same way a professional uses their commercial equipment. And that equipment isn’t cheap. And I love technology. It’s something I personally enjoy. Considering it’s something I use for hours on end every single day, more than any other tool I use in life, and memorializes my life, I have no issue spending $40 a month on it.

Where I live $500 feels nothing. Rent where I live is like $5k per month. Everything is stupid expensive. I’m just numb to it. I am quite frugal in other ways though. My car is 20 years old. I’ll drive it until the wheels fall off. I don’t care about fancy cars at all. And I don’t enjoy “the feel of a new car.”

I like new cameras, higher refresh rates, and super fast page loads.

Selling my phone on Craigslist every year and buying new is about the same price as buying new every few years.

$1500 phone. 3 years. $500 per year.

$1500 phone. Sell for $900-$1000 at one year old. Buy new phone for $1500. $500-600 per year. And I have a always warranty (extended by my credit card).

Similar price per year, night and day better product.

Lol

If capitalism worked Buffalo Wild Wings wouldn’t exist. Trash food. Go to a local pub or something.
