Ok let's poll Lemmy. Upvote me if you can. Downvote me if you can't. I can so I'll keep my own upvote.

The more we don't tip the more it becomes normalized. I've stopped tipping all counter service other than bartenders. At first I felt guilty but the more I did it the more it became normal to me.

Real question: what do anarchists expect society to do/become and why is it better?

Nuanced answers only

1. Understand the value of money. The buyers remorse for overpriced hardware may be unpleasant but it's a good lesson. Money doesn't buy you happiness, but it can't save you from despair. Spend wisely.
2. Get off social media
3. Get off social media

It's missing a third frame where he's crying and smiling in ecstasy

But the direction is certainly heading towards the realm of cable prices...

• Netflix: $15.49
• Amazon Prime Video: $14.99
• Apple TV+: $6.99
• HBO Max: $15.99
• Disney+: $10.99
• Hulu: $14.99

Total: $79.44 per month

So maybe when you account for inflation it is still only half of what cable costs,.perhaps. but those are the cheaper plans. For HDR support for Netflix it's like $25, and it's the reason I cancelled Netflix.

I don't think the meme is dumb, just ahead of it's time, but it's calling out what is certainly happening.

Most streaming services now include ads in the paid subscription.

Inch the ad ratio and prices up another 40% and we are getting pretty close to cable experience/cost. And that's only a few years away when we look at how much costs have raised over the last 10 yrs.

If each service raises price $1/month every year and you have 6 services, then in 5 yrs you're paying $30 more per month, prob around $100+.

I still left Reddit and unity and haven't returned. Some people do care. Not everyone is indifferent.

Thanks! That's all I was looking for... appreciate you!

I haven't started laughing yet...

Not to mention the creator of GIF prefers the JIF pronunciation.

It doesn't really matter, but I find the hard g folks have a stick up their ass about it.

I know you're joking but that last paragraph made me throw up in my mouth a little bit

Guys it's simple they just need to automate AI to read these papers for them to catch if AI language was used. They can automate the entire peer review process /s

Fr I didn't know what I was doing and tried it .. broke both of my legs and gave me a concussion.

Don't mess around with -1/12!

Are people really so addicted to social media that they can't use their own willpower to simply not have those apps installed?

Why can't people just compromise at a time like 10 AM instead of dying on their mutually incompatible hills?

It starts with one thing. I don't know why

Someone: tries to make a profit

Lemmy: no no no kill yourself! The world should just work by everyone (other than me) doing free labor for me

Yes! Enough of the "I'm doing my part meme" that isn't even real content.
