My personal conspiracy theory is Elon is a Russian spy. If that turns out to be true then he wouldn’t really have a first hand understanding since the FSB would find a way to fix his papers if needed.

30GB to install then 100+ after you open the game and it downloads updates and scenery. Same deal as 2020.

I’m thinking 30 before opening the game and then 100+ after.

That justifies the price difference

Fatally means dead.

Damn that sucks. I like his videos didn’t know that stuff.

Welcome to Lemmy. I get where you’re coming from. I run a business and I have had to ask straight and gay couples to tone down their PDA. Sometimes they respond poorly and I have had them downplay what they were doing as if I wasn’t just watching it… Unfortunately letting that kind of thing slide negatively impacts how other customer view my business. I can’t have people groping each other when a family walks in.

To the point of the people not comprehending the full scope of what you’re saying, obviously this situation got violent and that’s uncalled for. Straight or gay violence isn’t the answer.

Came here to say this, but shorter. Imagine my surprise to see “Positivity” first word in the top comment. I know we don’t all agree on everything, but the vibe on Lemmy (for me at least) seems to be share our views or shut up.

The other thing is how political everything seems to get. Even outside of political communities you see it seaping into the comments. I might be remembering wrong, but reddit didn’t seem to have that issue (as much). If you weren’t in a politically orriented community the mods kept that kinda talk out.

All that being said, I’m sticking with Lemmy. I don’t hace any desire to go back to reddit even as a lurker. I hope lemmy gets nicer as more people join. I’ve embraced being downvoted. I will try to love communism and linux to a greater degree than I already do.

Corporate greed is part of what I laid out. Inflation is complex and happens regardless. Certain things can have a larger impact on the rate of inflation. Introducing monetary supply in the form of wages or stimulus is one of those things. I’m all for higher wages. What I am trying to get across is that we also need to recognize the impact we have. Corporate greed exists. People want money. It makes sense. It is further driven by us having the money to take in the first place. If the product or service doesn’t get purchased the price lowers until it does and/or the business fails. All I am saying is we as consumers could do a better job being mindful of this. We don’t have very much control in this system, but we do have some. Of course we’re not united in this so it probably doesn’t matter. If you don’t buy the 2k phone your neighbor probably will.

When the majority gets more money companies raise prices and you feel poor anyway. Mass wage increase sounds nice in the short term but leads to all the inflation articles you’ve read recently. Money feeds up. This can be prevented by reduced demand for goods and services. As in, when you obtain disposable income you… Don’t dispose of it.

Energy, living costs it can’t be done. Necesities. But a lot of areas you can make real change by voting with your dollar. For example, if you don’t think the new iphone should cost 2 grand because that’s absurd then don’t validate the company’s plan by buying it. Reduced demand causes reduced price until we find a balance. That’s how this horrible evil capitalism is supposed to work.

One of the problems is we as consumers suck at voting. We want the new iphone. So a majority of us buy it anyway. On credit. And Apple raises the price next year becase “it worked last time”

Not really agreeing or disagreeing with any of this, but I feel compelled to say I was interested in GME this time around based on what Mr. Gill stated about them now having a pile of cash on hand. Sounds like a good place to be with some potential. So I figured that was the case last time too right? I didn’t really follow GME the last time this stuff went down. Makes sense they would have ended up sitting on a pile of cash then. Went back and saw how they ended up using THAT cash and waaasss not impressed. To each their own but I think that two billion is going in the toilet.
