You can find discounts sometimes like that with dairy. A farm might produce a lot of milk and before it goes bad they have to turn it into to something. Some companies can make the product in bulk and then sell it at a discount because supply and demand.
I’ve seen crazy deals with shredded cheese. Like buy 2 bags get 3 free at my grocery store. That’s sooo much cheese, but they would get more profit selling it at a discount then letting the dairy expire.
It was definitely the CD and 32X coming out in quick succession. Then also here is a completely new game system. Just throw that other crap away. I heard that Sega of Japan wasn’t communicating with their American counter parts that well.
Sega Saturn was good and so was the Dreamcast, but those bread crumbs improvements beforehand made it feel like a cash grab. Shame too, since I was on team Sega.
All of that. It makes a mesmerizing movement that I would just like to keep looking at.
I just looked it up. Salem is the capital. Portland is the largest city.
Oregon City would be my answer to ‘what’s the capital of Oregon?’
Just a standard, since I never heard of the capital I’ll try the state name plus city guess.
The Dems that spoke out got replaced during primaries because AIPAC has too much power in our democracy. Those Dems getting replaced stops more from speaking up. Those ones that got replaced didn’t have enough support from people like you.
Ignoring people inside of the Dem party that are trying to move the party more left and dismissing anyone that stays drives the Dems more to the right. Dismissing all Dems just hands more victories to the conservatives. Then you can have the moral high ground while the world burns.
I think they did that after WW2 instead of having a symbol carved on them, so everyone know what they stand for. I’d rather know who I’m talking to, so I can not care about their opinion.
I was thinking about it through the lens of his PR people and long term. He’s was very popular and has a bunch of money. He doesn’t need to do anything. His PR team is thinking, what about any future money?
His mistake was exactly what he apologized for. Did you read it? It was about not adapting comedy to the audience and time. He mentioned ski slopes and stuff too. That is what I was referring to.
I think he was trying to get a buzz for his stand-up by going anti-woke. Then those people didn’t show up for him because they are still laughing at Rob Schneider.
After Jerry realized his mistake, he figured he would say he grew and learned to help any damage control. I don’t think people really care enough about him for this, but he is rich enough to have people tell him.
So, I suppose we need to take some MAGA, weaken it with formaldehyde or something, and then inject that into people’s brains to give the brain a chance to fight back before it gets overwhelmed.
I’ve been trying to convince anti-vaxxers that it isn’t the medicine, but the micro plastics that are causing all the “new diseases” and being able to diagnose more autistic kids. I would rather them believe that it is caused by plastics and not medicine. I think being anti-plastic is better than anti-vax.
You think it is simple because Trump is so obviously not a good faith actor, but let’s pretend he gets elected again (possibility). He declared everyone against him (not just Dems) enemies of the state and ineligible to hold office. This reminds me of Russia, oh wait he would like that.
Unfortunately our democracy hinges on whether or not we can convince our fellow citizens that freedom matters and to over vote. Winning by 51% isn’t enough. In order to make effective change, the Dems would need to win and get a supermajority in the house and Senate. And THEN DECIDE to give up power to change our government to a STAR vote or ranked choice style. Some form of representation democracy so that our politians would have to negotiate properly. Citizens United needs to go along with the part of the judicial that was installed because of the fascist movement of the heritage foundation.
I just doubt this will happen. It is possible, but I’m not sure how. The left never has enough resources to play the decades long game. They(conservatives) were manipulating the media in the early 1900 to stop progressive movements. They delayed Teddy Roosevelt getting into office. After he did get in and people saw how effective and popular progressive movements were, they decide to work against it. They still are. They just bought all the media empires now, so it is easier.
No the problem is you need to define valid for everyone else. You not liking a valid reason doesn’t make it less valid. Clearly this word means something different to you in this context.
I already said that the Dems believe they can court some of the pro-frack without losing the anit-fracks. I think this is wrong, but that’s why they are doing this.
You just don’t agree with the strategy, but it’s still the answer.
That’s the point of switching to pro-frack?
I’m assuming the Dems think those 58% anti-fracks are going to vote for them anyway. The Dems are trying (as they always do and fail) to court some of the 42% that might be pro-frack and anti-trump.
You can’t just use keywords anymore because every site out there is actively exploiting that system.
Ahh Goodhart’s Law strikes again.
I’ve been called and texted a bunch. I only answered 1 call last night and answered their polling. I should have mentioned Lemmy and the fediverse and the only place I get my news, so they would focus more on it, but I didn’t think about it in time.
What was that quote? Americans will always do the right thing, after trying every other options.
so fucking glad i don’t have kids
The next step is about “protecting the kids”.
I was, no shit, just thinking about this on my break about an hour ago. God or whatever you wanna call them. If there was a way to develop more consciousness by adding more information to the universe. If consciousness emerges to solve complex problems then maybe if we populate/terraform planets then we will have a deeper understanding.
