Inflation was for a long time offset by a steep decline in the cost of delivering the product, and thats still true for the digital copies to a large extent, but with most AAA games blowing huge budgets on production publishers have been wanting to push the ceiling up for years now.
There is a quote that often makes it around the internet mis attributed to Ghandi says something along those lines. The most likely origin is speculated to be Indian philosopher Bara Dada in the mid-1920s : "Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians, you are not like him."
I think the person saying it wants to avoid family or acquaintances giving them shit for not sharing their political views.
Most of my family is very conservative stereotype vile people. I've heard that exact phrase from the few left leaning relatives as they try to wigle out of unconfortable conversations. I myself am the black sheep that just tells the repugnicans that their views disgust me.
I used to call support to see if the internet service was down when I couldn't connect, now I browse to a status page to see if the phone service is down, and I work in tech support.
they don't accept sources outside their local news and social circle where they accept everything as truthful and any outsider is automatically untrustworthy. I've run into someone utterly convinced that their local schools were forcing kids to become trans against thier will, because they heard it repeated by thier idiot republican social circle. No evidense required. Instead in thier mind burden of proof is on me for saying that's ridiculous.
Even when they don't wholeheartedly believe the lies they've been goven they will pretend to for fear of their social circle response.
I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you've never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.
unfortunately I'm not up for growing a new community myself right now, tbh I'm not doing a great job at attracting members to the one I did start so I don't think I should try and handle 2 already. I'm bad at social things in general but I try.
yet reddit admins never had a problem with thedonalds posters litteraly saying people should be shot and other violent rhetoric for years. the key difference is this time the billionaire class got upset.
I need a lemmy based replacement for MarchAgainstNazis since that mod team has been seriously compromised.
Can't sound like you criticize reddit itself or admin actions in any way, benign things being silently removed/hidden. can't say anything against actual nazi's now.
your first clue was the link in the text - no shipper is going to miss having its branding in the url. the second was that the url it redirects to its obviously random bs and if you do a whois you see its def not owned by usps.
got a few of these phishing attempts myself over thanksgiving. holiday gift shopping season has begun, the scammers want to catch the less savy among us.
when you include the upper peninsula Michigan looks like someone calling time-out ... while wearing mittens.
also I don't get all the talk of left or right handed. turn the same hand over to like at the back instead of the palm and the "wrong hand" would then fit?
