The reward

  • I actually think about this. All those houses that are streets away from the beach are going to make so much more in the future because the beach will move.

    • ELI5: How is Amazon able to sell me books so much cheaper than brick and mortar book stores in my area

    Jump

  • Sure, but in that previous time period, they didn't make a profit but were able to destroy the brick and mortar bookstore. So I guess it would be more honest to say they demolished the bookselling industry and now can argue for whatever deals they want because the only other bookstores are weakened.

  • Amazon does not make any profit from their books. They are able to sell them cheaply because they sell them at a loss. They weren't even profitable for a long time and maintained thanks to investors. Basically, Bezos sold the idea of the future of his store's worth. And it worked.

    • Social differences even between coasts are massive

    Jump

  • It took me a while to figure out. Like I knew Southerners can be mean and judgy, but I didn't think about how until I traveled to other places and saw how much more straightforward people are. It's nice when kindness is kindness and there's no underlying meaning.

  • Proudly have never had that said to me lol

  • It's a subtly, yeah. There's a lot of reading between the lines along, which is annoying if you're not used to it.

  • Growing up in the South is learning to be mean by way of looking nice.

    • What is your weird obsession?

    Jump

  • Like...stale or just...weird? I don't know how to describe it. If it only smells like glass or cleaning such, it's good. Anything else is bad.

    Jump

  • Gotta smell the inside of a cup or bowl when taking it out of the pantry. If it smells wrong, I have to wash it first. I don't know why.

    • 10 days after 3rd party reddit app shutdown, Lemmy's top 10 instances combine for a thriving userbase of 234,000

    Jump

  • Not really. They never wanted a large instance and didn't want to become a Reddit replacement. I see them more like a federated Tildes, honestly.

    • what would you do if you have a time machine

    Jump

  • Wouldn't they deny your money because of the dates? You'd have to ensure you only have cash from pre-2003.

    • TIL that In 2018, A hacker broke into people’s routers (100,000 of them) and patched their vulnerabilities up so that they couldn’t be abused by other hackers.

  • I think up to season 5 are fine. Season 6 is starts the downhill trash spiral. Season 5 also ends well enough you could watch until that point and move on with your life. A few holes left but your own imagination would be a better ending.

    • This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads

    Jump

  • It's available in the UK as well. They don't follow EU privacy laws.

    • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?

    Jump

  • Same. 30s, healthcare, no linux. Not even tech savvy at all, but I can follow directions well enough.
