Huh, right after they limited the number of houses a corporation can own, they make it legal for a corporation to hide how many houses they own.

I was originally going to get both the Steam Frame and the Steam Machine and give the Steam Machine to my dad so he could have something simple to play flight Sims on, but at that price... I'll cobble something together from mostly old parts.

Still getting the Steam Frame though, even if it is at a painful price.

Ancient people were just as smart as modern people, they just weren't as educated.

Humans are really good at figuring things out and tweaking things based off of previous results.

The one in the picture looks like it has bottle openers on either side of the skull.

Foot fetishes routinely come up more historically when there is a larger std concern.

People hear about diseased junk and become turned on about other things.

If you look through history, when there are large STD outbreaks afterwards foot fetish content rose.

Our brains are wired to be turned on by other things when the bits are diseased.

In Gaza casualty numbers any adult man is assumed to be a combatant by Isreal.

Businesses that give away free drinks and whatnot to cops tend to have more cops around, and if a place is known to have more cops around they tend to get stolen from less.

Legal small bribes. It is why places like Speedway have a button for free police beverage. They want cops to stop by on their breaks so people regularly see cop cars in the parking lot.

One of my favorite things about Nestlé is that five people can talk about how evil a company they are with examples and have it be five different things.

I work in a gas station, there is a MAGA regular who is constantly complaining about how broke she is, she buys 2 packs of unfiltered camels a day, that's $14.60 a pack, over $800 a month just for cigarettes cause she buys the most expensive packs in the store.

There's one article I found.

Originally read about it in a book that I don't remember the title of.

I know several different people who work in companies that deal with shipping, Yellow has always been awful to deal with with a much higher rate of shipping damage.

Maybe leaders are a bad idea.

The higher the corporate tax rates the more the companies reinvest into the company to keep profit margins down which causes the economy to flourish rather than funneling as much cash as possible to shareholders.

Companies generally would rather pay their own workers more than pay more in taxes. If you're going to lose the money anyway, might as well spend it keeping your workforce happy than give it to the government.

He's kind of an asshole. He believes that men can't be friends with women. Basically that the only reason to befriend a woman is to try to sleep with her.

He's cheated on his wives and then blamed his wives for letting him be around women.

He'll get married, cheat on her, blame her for not stopping him, get divorced, repeat.

He's made some anti-gay comments as well.

And some other just general asshole things.

Oreos are vegan.

People set them up to help grow communities by having a lot of content but it just kills them instead. I opened a Linux gaming community and it was 95% just bot reposts from the Linux gaming subreddit, all with zero comments and 1 or maybe 2 up votes per post. It just makes you not want to comment at all cause what is the point?

I came to Lemmy to get away from reddit, bot reposts just funnel traffic back to reddit. The endless reposts just leads to the one conclusion of "Oh, this is all just links to reddit, I should just go directly to reddit as it will be a better source for this content."

Meanwhile I stumbled upon another community that barely had any posts and it has much more interaction because the few users that -are- there feel much more included. In the early 2000s I was part of several forums that really only had about 10 active members, but they were active and eventually saw growth. People join and see a small group of people talking and then join in the conversation.

I'm allergic to the most common strains of grass. The idea of relaxing in grass is horrid.

Assigned Cop At Birth.

“I’m sorry ma'am... it’s a cop”

Short Circuit and Flight of the Navigator. Had them both on one tape and I'd sit down and watch it all in one sitting.

There is a lot of porn on Lemmy.
