The general consensus seems that people pay for the convenience, not having to cook or clean and not having to wait very long for it. Which is kind of crazy because that seems like such a luxury to me lol. Like a lite version of having a personal chef.

I wonder what the price point is where people will stop paying for the convince and just do it themselves because it costs too much. I would’ve thought most people reached that point but apparently not.

@ThePicardManuever probably too busy posting to respond.

Same, I come back every few days and don’t feel like I’ve missed some big meme or event. Reddit you had to log on literally everyday or you could miss some joke and now it’s memed all over every sub and you have no clue what’s going on.

Maybe if they created an environment conducive to having kids, more people would have them. Failing and underfunded public education, increasingly expensive cost of childcare, lower standard of living. I could go on about climate and geopolitical uncertainty but you get the idea.

Roe v Wade

Yeah, the AI songs are just overlays on an already existing song. Even when making something new the AI has to be “trained” on existing material. They can’t make something from nothing… yet.

They canceled my man Kyle Gass for less fuck you Elon!

Oh my god he just went in

Ayyy I saw that comment section yesterday lol. That cookbook seemed pretty cool

Came here after the API bullshit. Takes a little getting used to but it scratches that same itch

What a horribly flawed opinion to have.

It’s hard to talk about this without people getting upset but I think you were pretty genuine in trying to talk about it.

You might think if a company has tons of empty houses or more likely apartments that the company is losing money because nobody is paying rent but that’s not entirely accurate.

Companies do take losses since they have to pay property tax and stuff but they just use that as a tax write off against their profits so they don’t have to pay as much in taxes so it’s not even a complete loss for them. :/

Don’t we all?

Lol this was funny AND educational! Although reading it as comment instead of being stuck in that actual class probably helped.

That was your “quarter-life crisis”. Don’t worry your mid-life crisis is still on its way :D

Correct. IIRC there’s an auto mechanism that will cut all benefits by 23% or something. So you’re mom/dad getting $2,000 a month would now only get about $1,500.

Look what steroids did to it’s tail!

LMAO! I mean they basically extend your HP bar to infinity, limited only by their cooldowns and mana pool.

I used reddit is fun, haven’t really been back outside the occasional Google search that links a post. It sucks and I do miss it, kind of like an old ex you look back fondly on but things just didn’t work out. I used to spend HOURS on the site and while lemmy is nice for keeping up with general world events and memes it just isn’t the same.

I like to rationalize that it helps keep me in the real world instead of spending most of my time on an app. Oh and sticking to a principle and trying to support those 3rd party app creators.
