Society’s gutter drains to a pond right outside gop headquarters - it’s the only water they drink.

The first who’s actually wanted to do so. So he does it.

I’m telling you man, I can get this special oil out of this snake and it fixes everything I tried it on. It’s really rare, but I’ll let you buy some, because I think you’re smart. I wouldn’t sell it to anyone else, I’d just keep it for myself, but you get it, man.

Two weeks is trump grift, two YEARS is elon pre order grfit - get it right or pay the price…

Lucky, we’re taking pre-orders now! The tech will be ready to go in just two years!!!

COOFANDY is not a scam. COOFANDY is a way to stay closer to maximizing best smiles in life to maximum outcomes as well as possible!

Yes, pretend it’s something wrong with the right idea (a repairable /upgradable device) and not the fact that America took a giant, wet trump all over the entire economy and a combo meal at mcdonalds is $16 with a small, non-refillabke drink and everything else is exponentially fucked from there.

Give us a reasonable pre-trump PC market, with this being a slight premium above that, do projections to normalize cost of ownership over say 10 years and it would grow. But we live here, so no.

Regans only eat the recycled waste of vegans.

You know what, this has gotten pretty hostile and weird, I think Julie and I would both feel better if you left the car.

Yeah, can they see this guy’s girlfriend giving us blowjobs? And who is paying for the gas? I mean, it’s this guy’s car presumably, unless his partner is just VERY accommodating. Either way though, I’m the guest in this scenario and shouldn’t be expected to cover that.

Young entrepreneurs just pulling at those little bootstraps, Regan would be proud of their ambition in advancing their station.

Quite a dam advancement.

An example of some great dam thinking by a group of smart dam people.

What an odd thing to say.

Non-response just raises the percentage - you’re up to 96.5% now…

Keep digging, bud.

What is that random percentage claimed? What’s the source? What numbers is it conflating? And how would it change anything I said about the economies of scale and the fact that these companies have been working to engineer a slant to digital only for years?

92.4% of dentists agree that your random percentage expecting some kind of appeal to perceived authority is ineffective… And, my percentage here is actually higher than yours, so that’s pretty embarassing for you.

P.s. and to “you can easily download a game digitally” - they can “undownload” it as easily, that’s the problem. They need to ship a minimum viable experience that can’t be taken from the purchasing person post sale. The toaster needs to maintain the basic function of toasting the bread that I supply. You can try to add RGB light shows and subscriptions to custom toast tones, but I hold the right to refuse those and toast my fucking toast in perpetuity.

Should be an “85% day one, year one” viability rule - meaning in the case of games, you sell a product day one that contains 85% function and features that are available within a year from original general retail on sale date. Incentive to ship finished products. Should that percentage drop within year one window, manufacturer is required to make available a physical expansion disc to those who purchased. And to protect truly small creators, rule is triggered by certain business size or revenue threshold exceeded.

To the “obviously a lot cheaper” point. With the economies of scale these orgs operate at, that is a weak argument beyond, yes, technically slightly cheaper. And hospitals would be more profitable if buildings didn’t have to incur the expense to purchase, install and maintain windows. And doctors would technically have more take home pay if they didn’t have to buy shoes and wear them during surgery.

I know it’s lighter in your message and you’re mostly on the side of good I believe, but stop FUCKING pre-complying. Nobody has any sympathy for these “every year is record profits” fucks. Show me some YoY break even or loss and we can discuss hardship and necessary reduction in service. Until then, have ZERO patience for their boo hoo bullshit. There is a concept called the cost of doing business, table stakes.

Now internalize that.

They knew before they started, either people took it lying down (unlikely) or there was backlash and reversal… Followed by announcement that disc version of next console is now $500 more expensive than digital, and physical discs will be produced, just at 1/10th the volume and doubled the cost of current.

Nah, that’s some kinda bug, bro.
