Second shift, 4am.

I’m curious to see how this works with law enforcement.

Not only does that not have anything to do with the topic at hand, but I’m also much more worried about the very real hostile take over of a nation than some people’s fucking street lights.

YouTube makes 8 billion per quarter selling ads. I think they will be able to eat tonight.

Yes. Because when life sucks, you need something to take your mind off of your problems. I agree that we should vote with our wallets, but for the most part, those willing to continue paying far outweigh us waiting to watch it all fall.

Furthermore, that’s a vast difference in cost comparisons.

I could have sworn this was shut down already with the last verdict he had.

Appreciate you finding the one thing I wanted to know from the article.

Just a bit of light invasion.

I keep my old phones instead of throwing them away. They become music players in the house/garage. My pixel 7 pro definitely has garbage speakers compared to a pixel 3, or an old Samsung note (can’t remember the Gen). It’s a stat I didn’t even bother looking at, since we seemed to have hammered it out years ago. It’s akin to asking if a new car has electric Windows.

I wish I would have checked.

Totally understand your point. They will never lose enough customers to actually feel it.

That being said, I’m doing my part.

As a PC gamer, I’ll tell you why sales would slump for me. I eagerly waited 2 years for FFVII to come to PC. Then, I paid 90 bucks for the game to include “all future dlc.” I assumed that was 90 bucks for the rest of the game. It was not. I will have to wait another 2 years (avoiding PlayStation spoilers), and then pay 70 bucks for the next disk. I’m gonna assume that pans out the rest of the way through the game, meaning I’ll have hundreds of dollars in the game over a decade. Nope, I’m good. I’ll dust off the emulator and just play old school.

I mean, you’re not wrong there either.

Do we REALLY need to quiz people to know this? Ffs.

I’m just a dirty heathen, but… Don’t we all sin? And don’t they all weigh evenly?

Hell is gonna be standing room only. Better bring a folding chair with me.

Nothing quite like being technically correct, and completely missing the point.

Lemmy is my only online presence. I use…

My phone.

Well, I’m glad to see the FDA sent a sternly worded letter. That’ll stop 'em.

This is kinda the point.

Let all full time jobs pay good enough. Want skilled labor? Better give incentive to take that responsibility, or we will all work high school level jobs. It’s about goddamn time the tables were turned. I’m tired of hearing “you’re fortunate to have this job.” No, you’re fortunate to make a killing off of us.

Not saying I agree with the number, but I wholeheartedly agree with the message.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, you have viable career paths that are NOT being selected because the income simply won’t be enough. We miss out on a lot of talented and motivated individuals that would love to get into a particular field, but it just doesn’t pay as well. Teachers and corrections officers come to mind. The career I’m in was not my first choice, but it pays better than what I wanted to do.

Someone mentioned antifa at work the other day, and I said, “Antifa? I’m in. Shitting on fascists has been an American pass time for a century or better.”

The looks of shock and horror on my coworkers faces was quite the sight to behold.
