One key factor is that it was made 30+ years ago.

Yeah, that’s the one. The one that makes a modicum of sense

Either A) New Years Day is a day of the week and your birthday changes every year (but in a vastly more predictable way; NYD will make next year’s dates one weekday ahead), or B) New Years Day is a completely separate day and all years are identical, and you choose your birthday to be celebrated on the closest agreeable weekend if that matters to you

There is a pretty fucking solid one:

13 months exactly 4 weeks long. 364 days. Two unique days: New Years Day and Leap Day. Just put them together.

Now every month is the same length. Every numbered day is the same day of the week in every month for the whole year.

What better way to advertise your clandestine movie than with clandestine marketing?

To be fair, Rogers didn’t die. It monopolized data communication with insufficient regulation. It had an inevitable outage that could have been bypassed if not for the reasons listed.

Rogers continues to make stacks while the public foots the bill.

Wait, are you suggesting people need to bribe the cops to not murder them because the cops are underpaid essenital workers?

Or did you really think this was actually about Amazon delivery drivers and still just had a weird take on it?

You know, except there’s no motivation for retailers to lower prices no matter how cheap the the products become nor how low their taxes are.

Second hand fascism

“We won it last time! Why change now? Besides, proportion representation only leads to more parties and that’d mean we’d have to… cooperate.”

Sounds like that’ll buy you one logistic

That’s not it at all. Literally, my children told me, “I don’t want to go up, I just want to go to the houses with bowls”. But it’s not a lazy thing, it’s a social anxiety thing. We don’t chat with strangers, we don’t make small talk with people we don’t know, we don’t ask people things we can find out without asking people things. We’re socially awkward parents and we have socially awkward children.

Millennials, the ones who would much rather text than call on the phone their dearest friends and closest relatives, are 35-40 years old. They’re the ones with halloweening children and those kids are just ask averse to face to face interactions with neighborhood residents as we are.

Or that we should agree on “throur”

You just can’t hear that hint over the hint of the constant torment of the growing lower class

Meanwhile, in France:

“What’s the roundish thing we eat a lot?”

“Apples?”

“No, the one that grows underground.”

“Dirt apples?”

Not sure why there are down votes here. It’s an important fact to remember that inflation “falling” doesn’t mean the cost of living is going down.

Whether reversing inflation is good or not isn’t their point. The point is, living is still more expensive than last year and your wage hasn’t been keeping up since the 70s.

That’s only because capitalists are deaf to reason and demonstrable facts.

They do it on purpose and it really does make sense. For everyone who supported the game they got the very best value of it. It sucks to pay full price only to have a sale pop up a few weeks or months later and you think “ah, I should have waited!” You buy the game, you support the devs, they keep working on the game, the game gets more, the price goes up for more game.

I wishlisted it when it was under $20. The price went up and up and didn’t go down. When I learned it was intentional and would never be cheaper, I bought it and eventually sunk 300 hours over loads of updates. Now the price tag is higher and I get to think “I’m glad I bought it when I did” and not “I should have waited”

The best time to buy Factorio was 8 years ago. The second best time is now.
