Brilliant advertising. That could be me!

In which market is Steam a monopoly?

If the developers want to just directly sell me their games old school I’d be cool with that.

I’ve been scared to use that ever since they actually solved “Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money”.

If it really ramps up, we could share block lists too, like with ad blockers. So if a friend (or nth-degree friend) blocks someone, then you would block them automatically.

I think most of us do, yes. This is whataboutism.

IMO Social Security is a better solution because not everyone has extra money to invest, and any class of investment can crash.

Or the parasitic larva

After 2008 they’re gambling, not investing.

The value of the property has to be greater than the bill though, right?

So then it’s easy to find a valid source!

Calling them weird isn’t going to work at all, that’s an absolutely terrible idea. Everyone wants weird. We need weird right now, just not their weird. We should be upping our weird game and present options that will work, that centrist libs will say are weirdly communist or anarchist sounding.

Things are about to change big time and it’s too late to stop that. The best we can do is shape it into something good. But nobody is buying tickets on the normal train. If you’re here on Lemmy, then you sure aren’t.

I can believe it.

In economics, the Jevons paradox occurs when technological progress increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the falling cost of use induces increases in demand enough that resource use is increased, rather than reduced.

Normalize political energy. Howard Dean should have won.

In this context, being “completely wiped off the face of the planet”.

We need another Nader. Jill Stein just doesn’t cut it.

You accepting it doesn’t imply that the source is credible; you just don’t have any alternative.

Nobody thinks they become 100% credible.

Are you not trying to educate yourself as best as possible, given the information available?

I’m imagining that I might just leave and try either a different place, or treat it myself. One can’t blame a doctor for “choosing” to be up so long that they’ll make an understandable but deadly mistake.
