Yeah, local prices can very a lot. My local prices are pretty similar to the ones in this article. But some places have been over $10/dozen for some time.

USDA's puts them at $7.74/dozen based on futures and project to get to nearly $10 this year. Given eggs can often be loss leaders, actual prices might not match contract prices everywhere, but stores trying to bring in customers and increasing other prices to compensate means looking directly at consumer egg prices might be misleading.

Just because those are there (I assumed it was a legal requirement), doesn't mean most people actually factor in the difference.

Glad my ass runs on gas instead of electric. /j

Its almost like they don't want people to be able to make informed decisions about things.

edit: obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/37/

any of the tens (hundreds?) of alternative servers that offer literally exactly the same thing.

Awesome Lemmy Instances shows nearly 500 and its outdated.

Some people pay a lot of attention to what instances people are from. I think I've had someone who jumped to negative assumptions about me because of what instance I'm using and I think I might have seen like one person from this instance - I pretty much never see people using the same instance, so its weird imagining someone seeing it enough to have an assumption about the users.

There are some servers that are a bit more tight-knit (hexbear comes to mind).

Twice.

But as the conversation continued, they actually started talking about how super wealthy people worth hundreds of millions aren’t paying their fair share of taxes, how they’re ruining towns and making middle class people pay for it, and things like that. Specifically they were talking about some of the environmental damage done to waterways by rich people (they mentioned someone specific but it wasn’t a name I am familiar with and I don’t recall what it was) and how the clean-up is being paid for by middle class tax payers.

I've also heard conservatives complain about Trump's plans in Gaza because "my taxes are going to give free condos to them! 😡" while also saying the government military spending is something they support without understanding how USAID is part of the MIC they seem to claim to support. Some seem to think spending money on bombing others is how you make America safe instead of making it more dangerous....

The hexbear trans megathread has a lot of general life posting stuff, but it is not a general LGBT+ thing.

Is that subreddit just kept around as a honeypot?

Even the people who voted for him or are closely involved with his election are also confused because they haven't got their exceptions.

As long as they can convince advertisers that the enough of the activity is real or enough of the manipulation of public opinion via bots is in facebook's interest, bots aren't a problem at all in the short-term.

After replying to this, I got that message for a second time except its missing the stumblechat link.

Given the bot is using a single message for everyone, it could have been written by an actual human.

Only time I have the problem is when people attach large files. While is the same problem with other "IM" methods.

Agreed most others wouldn't use email as a replacement for casual chat, but its always seemed like an arbitrary choice. So many people waste so much space in emails because they treat them like letters, so the biggest difference seems to be the culture around them rather than the medium itself. If people formatted all text messages as

"Hello Dear Friend,

Here is stuff to waste space.

Here's what I actually want to say.

More extra stuff.

Sincerely, Walrus"

I doubt we would see that much of a difference between them.

How so? Seems like just a slightly different UI for the same thing to me?

Feel like Matrix or Email would have made more sense as a federated service for communication, but get Signal is a lot more well known.

Only up $0.65/dozen since his inauguration from the already record high price...
