Same with comments. For their purposes, a comment that says "i want my 10 minutes back, I hope you die." is basicallly the same as "best 20 minutes ever! (I watched it twice)"

Not a tax, basically just a price-signal. But maybe also a markeing push since it gets attention by being novel. Its functionally similar to happy hour specials or loss-leaders.

You're right, it seems like they'd be smarter to offer a discount during off-peak hours. It should accomplish the same thing.

Since beef futures are already a thing, you could invest in that and then use the profit for hamburgers, money being fungible and all that.

Its financially backed by the Kremlin.

edit: source

It's like a shadier Discord/WhatsApp mashup. Founded by Russians now based in Cyprus, iirc, and funded (in part) by the Kremlin. So I guess don't write anything you don't want the siloviki to read.

It also stands out a lot more than using meters. And gets people to talk about the ridiculous unit of measurement. In short, it drives engagement, which is the point of the title these days.

Maybe without the useless campaign mode.

The issue is also rampant with PS5, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, PS5 controllers have the same issue. Slightly cheaper, but same exact shitty parts for the joystick. Going to try aftermarket (with serviceable parts) for my next one.

The top search for every state is PORN, except Florida, where it's SEX PORN.

edit: also, according to the CDC, Florida is literally AIDS. https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2015/14_0395.htm

Where were you when I needed this for my plant anat & phys class?

For the comparison I was doing (it can be hard to compare the two products,) I found paper towels were almost always cheaper (per unit area.)

But that was pre-pandemic, so prices are probably way different by now.

Mine has it disabled, but available if I want to enable it (with a security warning.)

I once went on a deep dive trying to figure out whether napkins or paper towels were cheaper I probably still have the spreadsheets.

Maybe don't kill our planet for your petty bullshit. Consumerism is bad enough already.

It came up quite a lot in some of the various threads about the recent ATT mobile outage.

Thank you. 🫡
