Purdue pharmaceuticals got some pretty bad PR for the opioid crisis that got turned into settlement money, maybe we can finally use that model to get us some UBI as climate justice

Our weather is under control. It’s just under the control of multi national profiteers at the expense of any and all.

Even MTG can have a sane point even if she horseshoed her way to it

Claiming Zionism isn’t religious in some way is like claiming the Catholic Church has no political influence. Political movements are not free from the scrutiny of their religious roots and religious movements are not free of scrutiny from their political consequences

Mark my words, Tucker Carlson will be the next republican candidate and he’ll have major male based support

At their core, many video games are just a simulation of acquiring a skill, improving it, and getting meaningfully rewarded for improving at it

Allowing jail time for movie piracy but none for institutional bank fraud or corporate tax dodging shows what a societies priorities are

Girls judge you harsher if they see that green bubble

No I want a steam deck and a dock that lets me also slot in a discrete gpu

The future of pc gaming should be tri upgrade platform

Regular consumer should really only have to worry about upgrading their deck, their connector dock, and their gpu

Hobbyists who like to max out may get into the deck and upgrade that should they wish

Women want to get laid also, just with people superior than you

If they were pissing on the lawn sure, tough on them. But they weren’t. They were sitting on the lawn. That they paid to sit on? This is a strawman argument

I think it’s great that kids are finding ways to avoid debt traps but I worry when colleges become places only accessible to rich people. One of the best indicators for supporting Trump was lack of a college degree. I worry that the inability to be able to be educated just to become educated will lead to populations easier to seduce into facism

Maybe it’s only advantageous if u spend most of your time hanging from a ceiling by your toes

I think maybe it isn’t the social media itself but the fact that we are letting impressionable kids be exposed to multi billion dollar recommendation algos that are designed to exploit human psychology for engagement metrics that get boosted whenever people feel inflamed or ashamed. I feel like we are going to look back in 20 years and see this paradigm as bad as letting cigarettes advertise to kids

As with all things go slow till u know ur limits greenouts aren’t too bad but they happen and better off nodding off in your house that at like work. Also anxiety and paranoia can happen with stronger strains or strong edibles so take it slow

No it won’t. This is 1 of many lemmy gaming related communities. Living proof gaming communities don’t need TikTok to thrive

This is actually pretty nice then especially since the figures report the biggest increase occurs in the 25th percentile.

I am curious to see how this stacks up compared to historical periods

Is this a flat average or weighted average? Could say high income non kids couples skew the figures?

How does this purchasing power increase compare with rent increases and price of groceries and gas?
