Huh, so their price dropped. Over here in Denmark they costed almost as much as a full price game at one point. Bought a couple as a Christmas present one time, which was many years ago.
I’ve bought cheaper toys with better quality. I’m not talking about their style or design, but more like areas of slightly misaligned printing, parts here and there where pigment/colour bleeds into each other, parts glued on with too much glue. They certainly are a quantity over quality product.
But there’s so much LEGO there! D:
But screw the funko pops. Never saw the point of them. You can’t do anything with it than put it somewhere, and they aren’t made in a particularly high quality either.
I can use my brother as an example for that:
My younger brother is entirely sold on billionaire philanthropy. He watched interviews where people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos on talk shows and podcasts, places where people like this go to advertise themselves, and has been completely convinced that they’re innovative, smart people.
Smart people who, through just being so damn smart, managed to become billionaires.
I don’t actually understand the purpose of karma on Reddit, beyond some sort of metric to feel good about yourself. It’s literally just a number and nothing else.
I’ve seen some people try to devalue what someone said because of “low karma”, so I’d say it’s a good thing Lemmy doesn’t have a karma system.
This is the reason why I don’t want to go to pools anymore.
Clearly you don’t know much about Cards Against Humanity.
Israel maybe has Judaism as its state religion, but that doesn’t make Israel Judaism. Does Israel really think people are that stupid?
I see no issues with this.
Pretty sure I saw thr first articles of this pop up before my move from Reddit… So a year ago, perhaps more?
It’s basically old news.
“Because” is spelled wrong.
Well let’s see… 9 USD is about 62 DKK.
Honestly… Not bad. That’s about the same price as a sharawma box here in Copenhagen, maybe even a little cheaper, depending on the quality. If I want to buy a burger from a food cart, just a single burger at the street food place near the Nørrebro shopping center, that’d be 85 to 90 DKK, which is about 13 USD for a burger.
The Iranian food stand sells food for 120 DKK per portion, or 16 USD. Pizzas in the neighborhood are between 90 and 110 DKK. A single durum shawarma is about 70 DKK. You get the idea.
Depending on the quality of the spaghetti, I’d go grab some regularly. Compared to what I’m used to, that’s a pretty decent price.
Of course, McDonald’s and Burger King are cheaper, but… That’s just trash. Some real trash.
Good thing that Lemmy is an open source federation, then. It’s not like Spaz on Reddit, where one dude can ruin the whole damn thing for everyone with a few bad choices.
Nice! Been following the developer for a very long time.
If I’m not mistaken, Steam will still keep the games on their servers. Sure, you can no longer buy them, but I’m pretty sure if you own the game you can still access it, and steam keys from the grey market should still work.
The same answer to both:
Religious indoctrination.
Texas sharpshooter fallacy.
Problem is that conspiracy theorists believe that the theories that have actually been proven true are fake and meant to throw people off from the real truth.
As a dude with conspiracy theorist parents:
From “trusted sources”.
Basically what that means is:
Any video or article that writes about stuff that they generally already believe in. My mom and dad already believe Bill Gates is evil and there exists a shadow state, so anything that so much as mentions these things are trusted almost immediately, regardless of how stupid it sounds.
Any video or article that is essentially against anything written in any news source. You can make a good prediction about what my parents will believe in by following global events and thinking the exact opposite.
Any video or article that claims to have evidence through loosely connected statements, often no connection at all, and bonus if it features basic, publicly available financial records (follow the money).
Yes, but you’re assuming that a future civ requires fossil feuls to advance.
Metals and plastic aren’t a problem as they don’t simply go away.
So… You want a hypothetical future civilization to repeat the same mistakes as we did?
So… Nintendo wants to dictate what owners of systems they have abandoned are allowed to do?
Can somebody please humble these guys already?
