it’s based on what people are accustomed to paying. different regions have different ammounts they are willing to pay for entertainment. some are higher while others are far lower.

They can get away with it. That’s really all you need to know when asking why X company does Y thing.

Haha, did we all well up a bit? This show was sooooo killer! I’m listening again tomorrow, and yeah, prob the next day too :D

I came into this with a big ol’ PSSHHH at crying over this...

I watched this with my kids, and my youngest was dazzled by the music and colors while the oldest was pointing out the levels he’d played in Forces, Mania, and Adventure 1 and 2. It was a family affair at my house and we loved it.

Sarcastic joke about particular pop culture reference that is neither biting and sharp nor endearing and thoughtful.

Comment posted too quickly for me to have read article in entirety. Condescending sentence calling out author for not including piece of information clearly detailed in paragraph 4 of the story. Follow-up referencing tangential or entirely unrelated fact betraying a shallow understanding of the topic based on half a…

Late-stage capitalism, man. People will fight to the death in defense of a system that has them swarming retail stores and websites like driver ants an an effort to succeed, as opposed to spending half that energy trying to create a system that...maybe doesn’t encourage behavior that is by all accounts shitty and…

I won’t go way out of the way for Fixin’ Franks, but I have gone into Home Depot just for one.

I think we all know who the true Sausage King of Chicago is.

I’d seen decent food trucks near Lowe’s as well.  And hey, Costco hot dogs are still a big thing!

Yeah, I don’t get it (and I don’t think I’m supposed to get it, and that’s fine).

As for Léon, who has rightly been credited with sparking this very necessary conversation, in response to Manuel’s apology, she simply stated: “For centuries darker-skinned Afro-Latinx people have been erased from Latinidad, but we will be forgotten no more. We are tired of being maids and background dancers and will…

I swear Americans don’t have enough real issues in their lives.

LMM has done more to promote minorities on stage and screen than anyone else in the last dozen years or so. Too fucking bad if there’s not enough of a particular minority featured in “In the Heights” - he shouldn’t have to apologize for shit.

I know a guy who used to get paid minimum wage as a video game tester, and used the opportunity to get really good at Excel, making test checklists and reports and such. He got a temporary contract working in HR at the very bottom with no experience other than that, and a few years later he’s making six figures as a…

I’m a strong believer of separating art from artists, but when possible buying things in ways that don’t give shitty people money.    Buy Detroit: Become Human used at a GameStop so that it doesn’t filter money to David Cage.    It’s a genuinely good game.

At work in the past year, I went from not knowing macros exist to writing some simple VBA code. I’m still super suuper new at it, but yeah, it’s blowing my mind how much is even possible behind the scenes. I’m becoming aware that learning more and more coding could potentially be “new career opportunities”-level…

I like big butts and I statistics can not lie

“That’s Capitalism, baybee!”
