All media is brainwashing.

Even non mass media.

Steel yourself against it or you’re going to find yourself brainwashed.

Sure. But this logic is also the reason that “we have to vote republican and take back the house, if we don’t have that we have no hope of getting legislation passed, right?”

The fat in these bills is often worse than the benefits of what they’re “claiming” to pass

$9.4 B in cuts is literally nothing.

It’s not even a drop in the bucket.

In massies defense, he is looking at what is more important, that dollar value, or the changes to res492.

If you want to reduce the deficit. You do so by end to entitlement programs en mass and mass deportations

You’re simping pretty hard for Nintendo right now dude.

Packaging is part of the manufacturing design. There a million and one products out there that encounter failure edge cases. Are they all “packagings fault?” No probably not explicitly.

But that is part of the packaging design life cycle and companies should be cognizant and responsible for improving their packaging design based on failures in the field.

So it doesn’t matter whose fault it is. What matters is what Nintendo and GameStop do about it. And if one or both of them just says “not my fault” then fuck them.

Bruh.

Two things can be true at the same time.

The packaging could be better. The GameStop employee could be “not a dumbass”

But never, ever, underestimate the dumbass factor

“Somehow blame Nintendo”

Package design is on the manufacturer. If you’re buying a product for hundreds of dollars, yeah, it should be packaged in a way that not only presents the product correctly but in a way that adequately protects that investment from incurred damages, handling, transit.

Stapling the front screen is dumb but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to point out the packaging design flaw. If the screen is that close, it would fail under other types of puncture conditions.

I’ve found the % fluctuations to be greater week to week +/-40 cents or so. But not consistently down.

The super high ones are the ones that matter.

The only reason I am pro tariff is to onshore US manufacturing.

These trade deals represent nothing but a flash in the pan corporate giveaways.

What are the “really strong economic numbers” and when do they start reducing inflation lowering gas prices and incr asking my wage rate?

I think another thing about dickens that is lost on modern readers is the context of his writing. Take the passage above for example. It’s describing the state of utter filth, crowdedness, discomfort of the street, presumably in London during the Industrial Revolution. As a modern reader I have to extrapolate to create that image in my mind. Whereas readers at the time were living it. So for them, the prose and imagery is transposed right on top of their lived experience.

I’d liken it to writing a passage about the experience of walking through a mall in 90s if you’re a century removed from that reality, how weird would it sound to describe the experience of walking through a mall in prose?

Arthur squeezed his way through the crowd, clumps of pimple faced adolescents. Their chatter echoed between the merchants either side of the corridor like a dense fog; chuckles, and sneering guffaws, cut through only by the piercing, judgmental stares they cast upon him as he brushed past. Sick sunlight oozed through the vaulted window panes 30 feet above, and the stench of nacho cheese, freshly baked Cinnabons, and new polyester made Arthur’s stomach turn.

Think of how fucking weird that passage sounds if you’ve never been to a mall? It how weird it would sound to somebody reading it in dickens day.

unpopular opinion incoming.

Seeing a lot of rationalization for “why I did” or “why I didn’t” , or “people were forced to” or “I was gonna lose my job” “muh family” etc etc

Nobody was fucking forced to. Everybody had a rationalization.

It’s no coincidence that The vaccine rate is 80% vax vs 20% non-vax. What statistical rule does that line up with? The Pareto principle.

If you’re in the 20% , congrats, you represent the part of the human race capable of non-conformance decision making.

If you’re in the 80%, sorry, you were always going to get vaxxed. So come up with whatever excuse you want about why you were compelled to : you are part of the consensus decision making population.

What she thought she said: “I don’t need no man!”
