Oh, it’s now tied into Xbox Live so you need an Xbox account, get achievements, collectibles, challenges and making it ad free requires a subscription of €1.99 per month. Not shitting you.
And unskippable ads in solitaire
Today, yes. We’re dealing with a few billion people with stuff shipped across the planet now.
Barter was never a thing in daily life. No anthropogist found evidence for that. Trust based systems were used, but those don’t work well when they population increases and interaction with strangers happens more. That’s where currency takes over.
Why currency is the most important thing right now? Because currency at the moment is status and many people seek a high status on society.
That’s not exactly true. Barter was never used like that in the past. People used gift giving systems or other trust based systems in daily life. Barter was only used with strangers and that was not a common occurrence. These trust based systems do work in smaller settings but break down in large settings where interacting with strangers is the norm.
Roughly the rules are interpreted as if you spend your life in the service of somebody else or society you go to heaven. Of course, those in power see themselves as serving society because they give guidance. If you do things going against that, so disobey the leaders, you go to hell. It’s how they tried to keep the populace in line. The rest is window dressing.
Why not just “retire” certain members of SCOTUS first. These people should be very afraid when the new president gets into office with these rules.
Some people can’t help themselves at the seafood buffet
It will take the market by storm, just like NFT with bored apes.
I moved to a smaller company for certain services. Now that small company gets bought up by a big company and the services are discontinued. Back to big tech it is.
Some suspect that production will start to shift to worker owned enterprises and user owned services. These don’t work for profit like capitalistic enterprises and can provide cheaper goods and services, something desperately needed when money is tight.
Another trend is distributed production. Capitalism works with the central production and distribution. However solar and wind often generate local and go against that model. Likely more forms of local production and distribution of food and goods are going to happen.
That’s what they’ve been doing already. It already caused the 2008 financial crash with mortgages. The answer then was to throw around QE money to corporations like a socialist dressed up as Santa Claus and reduce interest rate to 0%.
I don’t recall any canon description of a hard limit to the timing
One comic I had mentioned exactly one hour, to the second. Spidey was proud of that fact.
Their original product was called SEQUEL. Structured English Query Language. They got sued by a company called sequel so changed it to SQL, but everybody still calls it sequel.
Sometimes, the store brand is exactly the same stuff from the same factory. They literally stop production from a famous brand, change packaging to a store brand and resume producing the same stuff in a different package. The price difference is mostly marketing and that can be a huge part of the budget.
For some other store brands, they do use cheaper ingredients. However, after the inflation we had, many fancy brands also started doing this to keep profits up so a famous brand is no guarantee for a great product.
And some brands just sell the same stuff but add some additional perfumes and whatnot to justify the cost. They give me a rash so I’d rather get the cheap ones.
Better to have a lawyer send them a letter she will sue for littering and fraud otherwise nothing happens
The law says you are right. UPS ignores this and sends the invoice anyway with some added bullying to pay the outstanding amount. As long as somebody pays and they don’t get a letter from a lawyer or they get sued for littering nothing happens.
That’s “monetizing the user base” in corpo speak
