The problem isn’t price inflation, it’s wage inflation. But,this isn’t reported correctly.

I think the economy is doing worse than people are admitting. Inflation might be down-ish, but those prices are here to stay. People are starting to just not buy things. Fast food, luxury goods and, and cars are what we are seeing now, but as people tighten their belts even more I expect to see the R word popping up…

According to capitalism and the law of supply and demand, this must mean we have lots of ultra cheap cars now just to offload these cars and recoup any costs at all, right? Right? Oh, that only applies in the other direction.

It’s a little bit different with Trump supporters because they have to both think he is an underdog but also the most successful man ever.  

You could say the same thing about trump supporters.  America loves an underdog, so when they love someone, they have to turn them into an underdog.

EoE rules as a kind of “fuck you” to people who didn’t like the original, admittedly compromised ending to the series. What more could they possibly want from him? Anno made this hyper personal show about wrestling with his own demons and feeling out of control from his own art. It’s a phenomenal and ambitious work.…

Congratulations!

In the past, the advice to passengers in a hijacking scenario was to sit tight and comply with the hijackers’ instructions. By and large, until 9/11, that advice had worked. Some hijackings had resulted in the deaths of a few passengers but the overwhelming majority of aircraft passengers had survived hijacking…

It has always been theater. A 9/11 style attack isn’t a reasonable attack vector anymore, the passengers would shut that shit down FAST. The only reason it worked like it did is because by and large when airplanes had been hijacked in the past it wasn’t to be used as a missile.

it’s not clear to us whether Herzog is offering a qualitative assessment of Gerwig’s movie, or genuinely speaking to its neon pink depiction of Barbieland, a world in which ostensibly happy “people” play out basic routines with no capacity for understanding any of the ennui or despair clawing at the edges of…

If there is a God, then He created Barbieland out of anger. The dream houses portend nightmares and agony. In Weird Barbie’s eyes I see only a blank stare that speaks of a half-bored interest in fashion.

Valve tried before but left it in the hands of third parties. A Valve-made Steam Machine, based on their success with the Steam Deck, would be very appealing. https://kotaku.com/valve-announces-steam-machines-1386046176

I mean in WV their govenor is a former coal exec, and they vote GOP who consistently attack unions (other than police unions).  Their ancestors literally paid in blood for a lot of worker rights and to dismantle those company towns.  Meanwhile Musk and other billionaires are planning company towns for workers who will…

I think one thing that does not get enough attention with this shift is the effect on the secondary market. In addition to being a valuable system for keeping playable games in circulation, I’ve seen how it enables whole populations of lower-income individuals to enjoy gaming. Buy a game this week, play it, sell it…

Pirates are doing *MOST* of the heavy lifting when it comes to game preservation. See also: movies and music

It’s the classic Fascist argument - whenever awful people do awful things, it’s secretly not their fault, because somehow they were actually helpless victims who were FORCED to do those awful things by people criticizing them.

Do you blame political activists when the barista gets your order wrong at Starbucks too?
