I’d rather chill in the spirit world. Maybe spend a few years lost in the fog of lost souls, go hang with Hei Bai, attack some rando’s cause someones been breakin trees, end most nights catching up on some reading at Wan Shi’s library. I’d avoid the face stealer, cause that ones a dick! Probably drop in on Iroh once in a while for an injection of wisdom in my life.
Spirit world is where its at.
Maybe its supposed to be, “Out with the teapot in with the mug”?
The car industry execs should be laughing their heads off at naive bank execs assuming they know more about it than the car execs. Don’t they think the car execs already know what the risk and competitive nature of their own business.
Guess what bankers, this is how you produce positive growth in a real productive industry, and its risky business. Instead the bankers prescription assumes managed decline.
It’s like that new guy at work who constantly tells everyone about ‘hacks’ only they’ve discovered, when everybody already knows about them.
Glad to see someone has mentioned this. Huge gains in time in the day for a huge part of the population.
Everytime i go for a walk i see something new that i haven’t noticed before.
Doing what to casual observater seems like the same thing over and over again, can actually be the process of developing a deeper understanding of the subject area than before, (in this case your local neighbourhood).
Someone call Mr Squiggle, that red line ain’t very straight!
To paraphrase the post,
We people have always been ignorant, we just keep the receipts now.
I really hope its a jury trial, and they prove to be very useful. Interesting strategy Google went for.
So i just just discovered these communities tonight, but these seem unique and awesome!
Loved it this year! Northern Boys for the win!
Treemix or tribroot band?
No time to read the article, all i need to know is when Rasputin gets belched back up? That guy still owes me marmalade!!
I found the whole ‘cake day’ thing on Reddit a bit immature myself, kind of like a stale remnant from the excitement and exuberance of the internet before it was dominated by a few massive companies.
By the time i left reddit my feelings towards those traditions were like yours. They seemed a bit hollow, over-egged.
Times have changed, Lemmy and its user-base are a reaction to the dominant internet campanies. With that i’d hope we can be more thoughtful about building an online experience thats healthy and sober.
To that point, i think marking an anniversary has a certain importance. I’d hope on Lemmy this kind of thing is approached with a more subtle maturity though.
But at the end of the day, what one person takes away from text, and what another person takes away from the same text can be surprisingly different. So maybe I just read all those cake day messages in the wrong light.
You may not be an AI fan, but i strongly suspect you’re an AI space heater.
Wonder if ads actually makes up for the difference or if it’s just under priced to push people towards it.
I reckon you guys are on the right track with your comments. Something to add in relation to why streaming services are introducing an ad tier. Introducing adverts introduces variable pricing for the streaming services. Meaning they can earn the same base rate, but for say the next season of Bridgerton, or one of their other really popular shows they can make a kind of ‘super profit’ by selling the ad space on top of their base rate per subscriber account.

whoops, front fell off
I feel compelled to represent as a moderator of c/perth/westernaustralia over on the Aussie-Zone server.
There are tots-defs ten or twenty people here that will understand this hop, skip and a jump reference.
So, ah, yeah, sure showed you! 3! pffft!
the very fact that it’s been presented to these people and that nobody thinks it’s crazy is a good first step.
Duflo’s right, that is a step change. Its not enough, but it is notable.
Vote cast! Some hard choices had to be made, the pressure was immense. I may require a day off work tomorrow.
Can’t wait to see the results! What a fun idea!
The inclusion of the non-country instance was controversial, but i think worked. Maybe to halt the ‘special interest’ instances taking over the competition from its original intent there could be a 10% guest instance carve out.
You could have the ‘special interest’ instances nominate themselves to participate, then use a random number generator to decide the included 10% guest instances for that year?
But what is America without US? /s
