Idk I just pay for stuff if I like it so no ads. Like including DVDs or streaming services. Or I use FOSS and everything's good.

Isn't Biden 80 years old?

This is a misplay but if you look at the numbers Kennedy is losing to Biden in polls by a large 50% margin but also I've never heard of this site so beware its credibility:

I'm not keen on Biden continuing at his age. Because you're voting for his vice president at that age.

I don't think Biden could beat Trump again. Every person who got laid off during Bidens administration will have something to say about it in the voting booth. Democrats need to push up a better candidate.

Gaming. It used to be an MMO for like $15 a month. Now it's a new game for $70, the game has DLC for $20-$30 or skins or some battle pass.

I had the same idea but there's a lot of actual tangible assets that have to be dealt with.

The first part is picking a pilot country which is probably where the developer lives. The second is either investing in or partnering with Fast ship locations - you need a service or partner that you can use like Amazon prime to store inventory across a country, and last is shipping and delivery maybe it's baked in. I bet there's a company that does this that has an API or partnership program.

In other words you have to establish partnerships or literally incentivize real people to invest in order to create the same value as Amazon. The magic of amazon isn't really that's it's like eBay and buying things online, it's that I can get it so soon.

Ah yeah the guy who opposed Putin

Yeah surprise he's dead

• Too much fluff on interweb
• assume others online are writing in brevity

I'll generalize and say there are many my age in their 20s that watch things like TikTok and shorts that are conditioned for the fastest intake of media. This means ignoring the written word outside of texts.

Even myself, if I see a wall of text in an article, I know to skip the fluffer ad-reads down to paragraph three, then skim. To be fair most articles could be wrapped up to maybe two paragraphs but get extended for ad spots. Outside the context of reading articles on say lemmy, especially online, there is a largely missed hear mean not what I'm saying operating in good faith that often gets missed online. For example if someone posts an article about how smoking kills you, and I post a comment that "yes but its a creature comfort" I am not refuting it kills you - I'm merely suggesting that its a rough world and that people have vices to cope.

Nuance and assumption that we're acknowledging it is often lost on people.

Those are all expensive, used Thinkpad is below the ground-dirt cheap...$150?!

My Thinkpad Ultrabook was insanely cheap even with a docking station. I do donate to Pop OS once a year though as a thanks for their work and I recommend the same. It's like $12 a year on their site and they do great work.

Trying to get one of their laptops but thats in short order for me, for now.

Adding on:

• lack of quick shipping
• proxied payments like PayPal or apple gpay
• some use laptop kits that are supposedly cheap
• hardware different from software if it breaks and there's no store or big company to ask for a refund from, you'll be pissed
• some of the hardware reviews about bugs and their handling of them are damning

Are those the super communists that are like fuck any place that's not Russia and China? Lol

If so I guess I feel the pain but I just give em the block

Things are fine man. There's just a lot of de federation lately which I don't think is exactly right.

I see the issue. You're on Lemmygrad. So naturally everything has to be pro China, pro communism, and the moment someone says "yeah they all suck equally" you have to lick the boot. Seek a prescription for schizophrenia.
