Friendly banter is tariffed, 20% please so that we can find our soon-to-be shrinking government?
Yeah what about Thai gangster fathers, don't they deserve to know when the call is real?
It's the first word of the first sentence though so highly unlikely to be found absent your comment.
They must be the trillionaires bro, you cracked it, tipped jobs are broken and need to be nerfed because they're so great.
Forget what these folks say; it's all an excuse to start companies that can be awarded no-bid contracts from the government they "want to dismantle"
And why economists and sociologists are important to have in the room when marketing and sales heads throw stupid fucking ideas on the table.
"Our nascent AI technology..."
"..Monthly fee to ensure no enshittification..."
"...our mobile app does require GPS permissions to maximize..."
That was the hope I had a decade ago, but as a commodity with inelastic demand, VC firms and investment funds over the last decade are now snapping up residential properties by the boatload and will inflate prices for both buyers and renters for much longer than any boomer selling might improve availability or pricing.
Coke just released an AI generated "holiday" commercial. The simulacrum slices off another level of reality for humans.
1, how amazing you get to see an opera there, I had a trip planned at some point but got cancelled. Hope you have a great show!
Arts orgs are important and critical pieces to society that are, in the US, funded only at the whim of the rich, which is why they're constantly failing, going under, curing seasons, etc. it doesn't have to be like that, of course. I googled some country comparisons and found a 2005 Canadian report showing the UK at 5x per capital spending and France at 10x spending compared to the US. I saw another from 2022 that showed italy's approach is similar to the US and has low per capita public spending ~£7.5pp which is still above the US but very low compared to nations with more firm public support and funding. The lack of funding means basic 2024 items means basic things like a mobile purchase are at the whim of other essential items each year for budgeting.
Italy maybe lucky, but like suffers from the same monopolization of ticketing and venue purchasing other countries doo--and any company needing the services are at the whim of the software company to deliver a quality product. They, of course, are a monopoly and don't. Many companies are trying to pretend mobile web doesn't exist and are forcing users to download and app to interact with them so they can scrape more data to sell. I'm some ways I'm glad for a crappy mobile experience considering privacy.
