I would say with the bad group thing there are two things that massively improve your chances: A) being group leader and B) sometimes being okay with doing a majority of the work and just asking people to do cleanup. I’ve had so many projects go faster from doing all of the hard parts of the project on the condition that they make it look polished.
Just to provide evidence, you can see the impact of corporate profits and the unit cost of products during COVID-19 in this study:
Corporate profits were a majority of the driver of cost of products during a literal pandemic when people were suffering and needed cheaper goods the most. The pandemic caused inelastic demand to increase and so companies took advantage of a global crisis to line their pockets.
I mean the non-sarcastic answer is because putting better rules in place defeats the purpose of libertarianism. The sarcastic answer is because they’re too naiive to think of an alternative and too lazy to think about the consequences. Lol
People already don’t do most of that stuff, what changes when there’s no IP?
The free market is bullshit, it’s constantly manipulated by people looking to make money. The invisible hand is dead and long gone.
I just don’t get it lol. Whenever I enter someone’s house for the first time I ask “would you like me to take my shoes off?”.
It’s not that hard, and especially obvious if they have light colored carpet
If this percentage trending up or down?
Pretty sure Jesus wouldn’t have been a fucking dickhead lmao
Alternatively Scotch tape + sharpie and multiple layers if you don’t have masking tape (source: never thought to use masking tape instead of Scotch tape)
Is it really elite trolling if it’s literally just saying things that are generally offensive? Lmao
She unironically needs to get help. I can’t imagine what she’s like IRL if she’s this unhinged over something so small in the grand scheme of things.

It really depends on how much time people would have to migrate data and swap email accounts. If it’s years, we would probably be fine although the financial and data loss would be still be incalculable.
If we didn’t have much or any time to migrate… I don’t even want to think about it. If email accounts suddenly got shut down many people would lose banking access, among many other things. It would probably cause a global recession if I had to guess (talking out my ass on this one but I wouldn’t be surprised).
Set up a program for kids to get school supplies and lunch money, and also for them to get some gear for playing games (e.g. a “good enough to play most games” PC or a console)
This could also extend to hobbies in the arts like digital design software, paint supplies, instruments, you name it
As a kid I wished so much that something like this was accessible to me
Oh and also buy out adobe and make it’s subscriptions one-time payments again lol
One word at a time
Genuinely curious how the price works out to be less?
At least for me I haven’t had any issues with Win11.
Linux is just too much work, even as someone who knows how to use it a decent amount. Even getting something basic to work that works out of the box with windows takes too much googling
I love Linux though and I can’t wait for the day when it’s a drop-in replacement for windows (if that happens). That said it’s gotten a lot better over the years and is really close in some regards
Yeah I totally get that. I’ve been fortunate enough to have teams where at least half the other people gave enough of a damn haha
