It’s location dependant

Ain’t no loaf of bread costing $42,000.

Calling /u/fuckswithducks are you here on Lemmy?

Damn you skeletrex!

Yes, but not all those chargers are high quality. I ordered a charger from a brand I never heard of because it had the features I wanted, but it ended up having a seriously noticeable whine when charging anything so I’m returning it today.

Got to research quality brands. As far as I know the best 3rd party brands for charging are Anker, ESR, and Baseus. Have several of each of their products and love them all.

I’ve heard of that. I’m saddened by it and have expanded who I buy my chargers from but I haven’t outright stopped buying from Anker because they just make such high quality chargers with great warranties and customer service. I’ve used them for over a decade and have never had one of their chargers damage a device.

I kinda feel like there’s almost no company without a morally questionable part of them somewhere. Which is very depressing. Even LTT themselves are having a scandal right now.

Our electronics are built with slave labor in all but name in 3rd world countries.

I don’t like buying from Anker after that came out, and it did reduce how much I buy from them overall, but I still do sometimes. It is what it is.

But there are 10 dashes…

OP in the OP:

I just assumed you were joking. Good job on all you do!

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.

I’m sorry. Here’s a modified version of the meme:

If we all work together the collapse is not just a dream.

Hoping to speed up the collapse I see lol.

I drive a hybrid.

I recycle everything I can.

I pickup litter.

I try to be as power efficient as possible.

I’m not a vegetarian but I don’t eat meat everyday.

Plus, I post memes that stimulate conversation like this!

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.

Who also owns some BTC.

Meanwhile…

$1000 would’ve bought 7.388 BTC in August 2013.

7.388 BTC today is worth… $193,186.08

Tell me again which one is the best place to store value?

Edit: Downvoted for showing facts. Not surprised.

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!
