Artificial scarcity.

I receive: Your next paycheck

And all the power your house can provide without buring down*.

Natural diamonds pricing is controlled by an oligopoly, so even if demand is down they might keep the price high for the purple of keeping diamonds as an expensive thing.

I thought FOMO would hit me, but it didn’t. I like that I can recognize most users, that conversations are small and that it isn’t a popularity contest gorging on corporate interests.

That said, I’m always worried that the 'ole lemmy/mbin thing depends on a very select group of users whom are very active publishers.

Then again, that’s how my favorite site on the internet was for a-la-la-la-long time.

Every court needs a jester.

It also sounds like the usual magic trick shennanigans: ooh look at what crazy things I’m saying~ no, don’t watch what I’m doing elsewhere, focus on the craaazyyy.

That is, for their government, a perk. While your people are worried about their neighbors, they do not stop and consider if you’re doing a good job.

SK doesn’t even want to look at the mess that’s going on at the North of their border.
Probably the only actual boon from unification would be a bit more of mountainous frigid space and lots of rocky coast. Because unfucking what’s been going on for the last eighty-odd years would make Germany’s unification a Disney holiday.

That’s the problem, if they start doing crack they’ll be more mellow (I hope).

But yeah, Jr uses so much powder that his nose can travel through time and lives permanently in the 80s.

One can only hope.

Excuse me but the PRESIDENT knows many words, he is like a real big word book. One time a tall book, strong book, tears flowing down its pages said: sir, you are the man that knows most words of all, the wordest. It’s true, it’s true.

Well, then you’re lost.

I think both of you are right: The idea of banning TikTok came during his presidency and he campaigned for it.
However it was a policy supported by Biden and with bipartisan vote, which means Dems were playing at home, so it was on them to not look stupid.

It is mentioned in some news that the Facebook people pushed a lot for TikTok’s ban so they could capitalize on a user exodus, though that TikTok feasts on user data and shares it back in China is also true. However you don’t solve that with a ban, you solve that with a proper privacy policy. But no US company wants that, no sir. So the Dems were played like the devil went down to Georgia and they were the proverbial fiddle.

But… I guess saying this is preaching to the choir as most people in here are dutifully aware of privacy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn’t choose mbin/lemmy because it was popular, so I’m fine with this.

My game is not poorly optimized, it is just made for future PCs.
