I hear what you’re saying but I don’t think it’s a really good fit.
The sunk cost fallacy requires costs to be sunk. People feel like they need to continue to contribute in order to retrieve the funds already outlaid.
If you do all the MAGA things and wear the hats and have the flags, I understand it’s part of your identity, but not wearing the hat doesn’t cost anything.
A ban on advocating violence of any kind against any person on a social media platform seems completely reasonable to me.
Certainly some assholes deserve death, but a volunteer mod shouldn’t have to discern what specific acts of violence are ok and which aren’t.
Fuck this guy.
Oh Venezuela stole our oil. The kids i raped are victimising me. We need Greenland. Windmills. I need to pay myself $1bn. They’re eating the dawgs. My ass won’t wipe itself you know.
I know we all hate him but i just dont understand how even the most devoted can not be embarrassed by him. Absolutely shameless.
Actually since my comment it’s become clear that the show was aired in canada.
When I posted that comment it sounded like the show had been canned but someone on the production team had leaked it.
Yes, but also… this is a kinda unique variation in that it wasn’t already public when they tried to kill it.
… and, I’m not sure who “archivists” might refer to but I suspect that whoever they are may have undertaken significant risk.
The fact that everyone wants to live in a house also has a negative effect in the market.
This doesn’t sound like someone who bought 4x houses and became a slum lord.
Renting out a home you own is a normal part of home ownership. You might move to another city, care for your elderly parents, or move in with a spouse.
Its easy to say “oh well hurry durr you should sell because charging rent is unethical”, but in practice no one would actually sell in these circumstances for that reason, if it were contrary to their interests.
This has been happening since the first troglodite laid on some straw and called it a bed. Renting for a few years is not everything thats wrong with the property market.
Thats pretty much what I mean - if you dont care then thats your problem. However, im trying to explain why other people dont like these cards and why its unethical for shops to offer them.
Its not merely your name and email. They would know your address, age, family situation, and which common maladies you suffer from like high cholesterol, headaches, diabetes, and so on. But thats just the information they collect directly at colesworth. They can exchange thus data with everyone else, and match up your visa card. So anything you buy anywhere really becomes part of the extensive profile they have.
You might not care about all that, after all… what difference does it make to you what ads you get shown or what a shop might think you might want to buy.
However, I just feel like thats none of their business. I shouldn’t have to provide this wealth of information in addition to fair price for the goods I wish to purchase.
These companies charge people extra if they refuse to provide personal details and buying habits.
If you can’t see a problem with that then I can’t help you.
Australian media regulator publishes a list of numbers used only for fictional purposes like TV shows or whatever:

I’ve always used the first one. Every store seems to have it registered a billion times. They sometimes say “woah there’s 100s of people on this number” and I just tell them to pick one. They never care.
I feel aggrieved to not get the deal by not having a card.
If the card didn’t exist everyone would get the benefit.
It’s tantamount to being required to provide personal details in order to purchase something.
On principle, I shouldn’t be required to provide my personal details to purchase.
“But that’s your choice”
Not really… selling me an item at half price in exchange for my details is really just extortion. “We’ll charge you double if you don’t provide us your contact number”
I don’t for a moment doubt that this is true.
The thing that amazes me is… how terribly poorly targeted ads are?
As in, I purchased a washing machine last week, so as an avid purchaser of washing machines I certainly need to see ads for washing machines?
Oh yeah that kinda makes sense i guess.
Why did all these people allow their photos to be taken? Like Clinton and Gates… “sure take my photo with this young woman so we can all remember what a great time we’re having”
Firstly: the partial / redacted release was entirely predictable.
Secondly, I dont understand where we are at now.
Is this impeachment going to be like all the others and be meaningless?
If JD Bimbo lady was charged and convicted wouldn’t Trump just pardon her?
Only if you think of the mound of paste as the thing you’re measuring. If you’re measuring pieces of garlic obviously it’s much higher.
Alternatively, just spread the paste really thin.
It’s ok buddy.
I defended mozilla for the longest time. Trying to see the underlying motive for every dumb decision, challenging others to at least acknowledge their strategy.
This latest brain fart from the new CEO is the end of that though.
It’s fine to keep defending them, but it would also be fine to acknowledge that mozilla is actively alienating Firefox’ loyal following.
Wow this is so… sane.
Being childish and reductive I wanted to downvote anything supporting Brave, but I find you’ve challenged my views on this.
That said, I think I’m just going to re-frame my dislike for Brave users by assuming they’re all crypto-weirdos.
