My initial thoughts exactly.

Wow! That’s going to save the state of Texas so much money! It’s expensive to house people against their will for enjoying forbidden plants in their own homes. 🙄

Do the easiest part first to prove it can be done successfully. It’s the pilot basically.

But there are 10 dashes…

Agreed.

A Dr will never prescribe LSD lol

The founder of Alcoholics Anonymous considered LSD to be a great tool to help alcoholics recover. Thank goodness you had that LSD! It changed your life!

In what world is $34k not considered poverty levels for a family of 4 in the USA? WTF?

Who said I was ignoring all that? I’m well aware. But what the Fuck am I supposed to do about it?

I drive a hybrid, pickup litter, recycle, make most of my own food from scratch, and talk about how we need to do more (like with this tongue-in-cheek meme). I ain’t in Congress (yet), but even if I was look how productive they’re being towards this issue.

Well, the USD is worth 15% less today than it was when the consoles launched. As such, keeping the price the same is the same as discounting it with a stable currency. The price today is the same as $425 at launch, so prices have come down we just don’t see it reflected in the dollar price.

Try doing it on Give Me God Of War difficulty. Aren’t allowed to change the difficulty mode without restarting. I’ve beat 3 of them after finishing the main story, but haven’t picked it up in a few months. Playing Zelda Skyward Sword now.

That’s a feature not a bug.

39% of Americans do not invest in the stock market. Fuck them I guess.

Having 2% deflation instead of 2% inflation would be good for the economy. It would be a baseline to compete against for companies and mean less people would invest in bad investments that just beat inflation.

We also need to stop this ludicrous idea of infinite growth of the economy forever in order to be able to afford to retire. It’s detremental to the environment and to the quality of products the economy produces to expect such.

Inflationary policies and fiat currencies are the fuel behind both world wars lasting as long as they did.

Ancient Rome prospered with a strong currency, when they started debasing their currency it started the fall of Rome. The same will happen to us.

You’re right. But they don’t want to hear it. Just like how most of the world believes in sky people and don’t want to face reality.

The world has been living on FIAT currency since WW1 when virtually every country left the Gold Standard. It’s been ingrained into everyone that deflation = bad, inflation = good. Yet at the same time every single financial advisor recommends dumping your savings into deflationary assets (houses, stocks, etc)… Okay. Makes sense to me.

Yes sir. Wouldn’t want regular folks to be able to retain the value of their savings! Government’s restricted to being fiscally responsible instead of printing their way out of problems with the hidden tax on the poor that is inflation? Ridiculous!

My laptop upgraded to Windows 11. It broke the headphone jack and built in speakers. The computer just doesn’t detect them anymore. O⁠_⁠o

WTF? 25gbps? Dang we really do have shitty internet in the States.

'Murica #1!!! (In high internet prices)

Think of the CHILDREN!
