I don't know why they don't find a better way to subsidize it. Like once purchased and played for x amount of hours $200 of steam credit is put on the account.

Or they get 30% off 5 games they buy in steam with the account that activated the console.

I think you found the explanation, I like this answer.

I didn't realize that was controversial for the general population.

It kind of looks to me like most people love sales, Amazon Prime day and black Friday.

It's worth mentioning that someone made a video game about your consciousness getting downloaded to this screen saver environment among other 90s screensavers.

In the US, people don't go to the doctor when they have a problem, they go as a last resort because they have to ask themselves how much it would cost.

18% of Americans haven't ever seen a doctor and 40% of Americans haven't seen one for 5 years.

A number of studies in low income communities in the south show that over 60% of people in those communities have intestinal parasites. That's just the ones we know of.

One thing we know for sure is that ivermectin is about as magic as they say it is for parasites only. It's a fantastic drug for that.

Over 60% of low income citizens would likely feel much better after getting their parasites removed from ivermectin. So what they are seeing, seems true. They could be sick from something else but get rid of a long standing comorbidity of a pariste infection, you bet they are feeling good. They just think that relief from the varied symptoms from parasite is actually something else cured.

This ivermectin religion has real miracles, it's just not the ones they think they are. This belief is entirely created because Americans don't have healthcare. That's why this belief isn't found elsewhere.

Parvovirus is a puppy owners worst nightmare. It's kind of puppy ebola but super contagious and high mortality rate.

Typically puppy owners never accept a puppy younger than 8 weeks without their first vaccination. And don't let them go out in places exposed to other unknown dogs until after the second vaccination at 16 weeks. So those early weeks should be spent with other vaccinated puppies to socialise them. And if you are going out, carry them or put them in a cart, or take them places you know no sick dogs have been within a year.

Yet another reason why raising puppies is so much harder than people think.

Given the partisan vitriol he spread today I hate to defend this but:

There is a 99% chance that after the by-election, he will once again be the leader of the opposition and therefore live in that house again.

So with hubris and laziness he is saving our tax dollars by not having to pay for him to move twice in less than a year. Andrew Scheer gave him permission for this as well.

I didn't watch the video but the headline is clickbait and this is a nothing story.

Wow, the national post referring to Jordan Peterson as a best selling author and psychologist who is sooo busy touring, implying he's somehow an upstanding citizen is creepy as hell.

In school, they don't have janitors. Because all the kids do the cleaning it takes the students about 15 minutes a day in school to clean it.

I think it's the same in Taiwan.

I wonder if Westerners had to clean at school if it affects us on a societal level to clean like that. Or if the larger social pressure isn't there for people to help like that.

My first time in Japan I was so confused as to why it was so clean yet there were hardly any garbage cans anywhere. You had to return your garbage to the vendor you bought your food from, and not stray far from them, or bring it home. There was the rare garbage can.

I'm saddened at the amount of uncivilized discourse going on in this thread.

You can actually talk about these bugs and development with the developer on discord, and also submit reports and suggestions on GitHub.

Saying things like "fuck this" and "uninstalling" about a beta that has had at least 2 versions updated today is the same kind of useless discourse I'd expect with failed protests on Reddit.

Here is a more civilized critique of one of the gdpr functions on GitHub. https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/200

Perhaps you can make a new issue about a reject all button as well.

Edit- this response is to the commenters here, not op. OP made a well formatted and polite issue on GitHub.

The generation war, the political war is just to distract us from the fact we are all under assault by a class war from the super rich. If we fight each other, we can't fight the rich.

Blame it on the billionaires, not other generations.

I got a great new story once these clicks dry up: "Expensive disposable fork thrown out a little earlier than forecasted"

I'm not a fan of Elon but low Earth orbit satellites by nature are meant to de-orbit. Yes they cause astronomy light pollution but cannot cause Kessler syndrome since their orbit is temporary from the start. Being so low there is atmospheric drag, which sometimes slows objects more than predicted.

Making news of this is like being shocked that infrastructure undersea cables and communication lines are falling apart and being replaced. It's a fact of life.

Pretty disappointed in Lemmy not noticing and downvoting this AI slop.

I'm all for calling out bullshit IoT garbage but zoom in and look closer.

Update: op updated the photo with a non AI image that's the same but without hallucinated text. The original graph was real and made by a human, but through memes got degraded and an AI upscaler added new hallucinated text to it. Mystery solved and fixed.

Speaking of Pavlov, this exact tightening of a leash can lead to leash reactivity in a dog.

Leashes are a form of confinement for a dog, and without proper counter condition they can associate pulling or tightening a leash with negative feelings and can then apply those negative feelings to what they are seeing when pulling.

For example, you're walking your dog on a leash and your dog sees another dog and wants to be with them therefore pulls. Pulling feels restrictive and eventually starts feeling bad when it sees other dogs while on the leash. These negative feelings can turn into aggression.

The way to avoid this is to find a high value thing that can be used to redirect the dogs attention in these situations. Usually treats. When you have training time try other exercises like pattern games: place a high value treat 20 meters away, walk with the dog on the leash towards the item they want. If they pull say "oopsie" in a happy tone and walk back to the start. They only get the treat if they walk by your side all the way to the object. The dog will quickly learn the pattern and will get a great reward for following the pattern. With enough training and exposure to new distractions with positive reinforcement they will be able to walk by your side no problem. Only do this exercise if you're able to do it without stressing yourself or the dog. Also, don't take internet advice, it's best to get a trainer. Look for force free group training if your on a tight budget!

Flow is very relaxing to watch.

It's part of its beauty is that there is no speech and the takes are really long with smooth and slow camera movements. I think it doesn't take a lot of processing to watch.

My dog watches this movie in silence, I've seen this movie once. He's seen it 3 times 😅

This is the power of being on the air for 28 years, expecting to get cancelled since the start, and not caring if they do anymore. They can embrace risky content.

Given CBS cancelled their top show, and is owned by Paramount, maybe this is the last show season that will finally set them free 😂

Excuse me.

Hmm looks like some stats I pulled were from polls, and I fell victim to people paraphrasing that around 20% of rural people not having a primary care doctor in the last few years as "not even having seen a doctor" sorry about that.

40% of Americans haven't seen a doctor in 5 years: https://studyfinds.org/americans-avoiding-the-doctor/ https://www.aarp.org/pri/topics/health/coverage-access/health-care-rural-america/?

But the limited stats on primary care and a lot of self reporting is very bad.

62% parasites infection: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.10.23284404v1.full

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7253135/#%3A%7E%3Atext=Overall%2C+67.4%25+of%2Ca+community+where

Typing in "southern united states rural primary care access" in Kagi has a lot of sad results.

Thank fuck for this ai summary, it took seconds to read. I opened the video just to see how long it would take to watch it. 5 minutes of life would be gone, god damn it.
