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.
Can’t believe princess Leia hasn’t been mentioned yet.
“What the hell are you doing?” “Somebody has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute flyboy!”
Lol
Don’t repeatedly kill the cows in the first village so that you can sell their drops for coins. You can do it once… maybe twice…
It’s because video games turned into investment vehicles where companies want to make at least 50% return on their investment instead of create a fun and engaging peice of entertainment.

Spongebob
Power Rangers
A lot of people have given good answers but I’ll throw in an anecdote.
Growing up my dad would talk about how important it is to follow laws. Don’t do drugs, don’t drink and drive, etc, but even the smaller ones like don’t jay-walk and never litter.
On a car ride I noticed he was going like 5 mph over the speed limit and I pointed it out. Something like “if its important to follow every law why are you breaking the speed limit”.
And he responded something about how it’s not an actual law but a recommended speed or something. But I kept saying it was a law and he was breaking it. He got pretty upset and finally said if I didn’t drop he’d take away my Gameboy for a weekend or something.
It could’ve been he was just annoyed his kid wouldn’t shut up but it seems like textbook cognitive dissonance that he couldn’t reconcile the two ideas that every law should be followed and it’s ok to break the speed limit a little and it got him upset.
“People work in roles they don’t care about, for companies they have no investment in, to pay loans they shouldn’t have.”
That sounds like a fight club quote lol. I know you didn’t say “loans they shouldn’t have” but the cost of college is just stupidly high. It doesn’t have to be free but come on.
Pokemon Red was an amazing part of my childhood
Definitely The Mummy starring Brenden Fraiser and Rachel Weisz
Came here after the API bullshit. Takes a little getting used to but it scratches that same itch
Not “forever” but they should continue to work it seems. They will degrade and slowly stop working over time tho, no clue how long.
For real. At least the odds aren’t explicitly against you like casinos.
Raycon earbuds. Use them everyday for work, decent wireless earbuds, would recommend.
What a horribly flawed opinion to have.
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.
Just a little fucksy wucksy :3
If anyone actually knew WHEN it would crash they wouldn’t tell be saying anything and instead placing bets via the stock market.
