As others have said, the stock market has little to do with reality. It’s focused on money and business reports. As long as companies are showing profits, the stock market literally doesn’t care.

Something only hits it when businesses hit it. Look at today’s market. Walmart posted bad futures and the whole market recoiled (only a bit but still).

There’s also just the denial phase. Lots of people, at lots of levels, are dependent on the stock market for their own finances. Literally everyone with a 401k has an interest in the market doing well. Saying “welp, we’re fucked” is just not something that anyone wants to put towards wall street. It’s why we have market “crashes”, because people hold out until the water covers the bow of the sinking shop then they freak out and bail out at the last second.

Hell yeah! Nice work dude!

Not sure if you’re joking but that was a real ad campaign for the PSP that was just. Perfect lol

It doesn’t matter without scope. Are we looking at a database of SSNs? tax records? A sign in log? The social security number database might require uniques in some way, but tax records could be the same person over multiple years. A sign in gives a unique identifier but you could be signing in every day.

It’s like saying a car VIN shows up multiple times in a database. Where? What database? Was it sold? Tickets? Registered every year?

This is nothing more than a “assume I mean immigrants or tax fraud and get mad!” inflammatory statement with no proof or reason.

If you haven’t yet, go order that cap. It’ll take like 7 minutes tops.

“Come out man!” “I can’t! I’m playin Shit!” “But you can play Shit OUTSIDE!” “SAY WHAAAAAT??”

DUAL PortaPotty. It’s like a Shit, you can play outside.

Enough data over time I bet you could. Get a couple drop recordings, arm swing, common heights of beds/desks/chairs, you could find it.

Would it be automated or easy? Hell no. But you can do it. We’ve discovered more with less

How are y’all all needing ambulance rides so often that you know what they cost?

I agree that this term was meant for online businesses but we can see the same concept happening with brands as well.

You build your image around a good product/service (ex. Fast food being cheap, tasty, and a source of calories) but then once your brand is an established go-to (i.e. McDonald’s, Oreo, Apple, whatever) you do the work to make that product cheaper to produce, even if it means a marginal decrease in quality, and prop it up behind the facade of the brand.

What we are reaching now is the point where companies are trying to toe that line of not losing customers but still making sales. But customers are starting to see that drop in quality, and with their purchasing power being squeezed, they’re taking notice. So we have a couple words for it that are becoming more popular. Shrinkflation is an example, but overall I think it still ties back to the concept of what enshittification meant. Build a brand, get the customers, cut your expenses, hope most of them don’t notice.

There are a lot of people saying “but enshittification means websites” but the fact is, it describes a business model that a lot of companies are following that ends up in a shitty product. It may not be what the word exactly meant but unless someone gets another term that fits popularized, it still fits and it’s not inaccurate to use.

Not to say this behavior is okay, but there are some companies that also just exploit the alternative to high heaven, like the post shows. You can pay $20 for a 12 cent replacement part, or order one and return it. Some people will pay for the part, but significantly less will when it costs and arm and a leg for something so cheap.

It’s basically taking the measurement of the area under a curve. The left does it in uniform chunks, and is often less accurate depending on delta x (the size of the chunks). The right effectively makes the size of the “chunks” infinitely small and gives a more accurate answer.

Simple version: Me: Close but either too much or too little potat removed. Mom: absolutely perfect with no skin and no wasted potat.

Yeah VGA is still pretty much gold standard for supportability in my experience. It’s like a console port with baud rate settings, worst case scenario those two should always work.

I think we need a word for an unnecessary sequel. Like it’s not a remake but they just retcon the ending and are like “oh look actually there’s more!” On a story that was perfectly wrapped up already.

See, you invalidated that whole thing with the last line. Every marine has at least bitten a crayon. Some people have allergies.

The other person already said they probably won’t do it. The name is too central to their brand to change it or back off. I would be curious if we see anything to emphasize his last name somewhere though.

Just like a “hey everyone this is Luigi MARIO a very distinct character not based on any real person!”

This usually comes from a couple things.

• The Amazon site that could do faster delivery was out of stock, had too many orders already to deliver it same day on Wednesday

• The time of day you looked at the order changed so you got in on Thursday early enough to hit that time limit

Or the Most likely:

• When you were placing the order it checked the available shipping methods (not days) and they couldn’t do same say that day, so they offered standard. The next day they check the methods again (probably taking into account the above reasons) and they could do same day so they offered it.

They don’t do the “what about same day, but tomorrow” stuff because it’s usually a problem that solves itself. Either you’re fine with Saturday, or you come back tomorrow trying to get it same day again.

The thing that is worth noting is that Amazon doesn’t do everything they sell as fast as humanly possible. They still have logistics to worry about and not every possible site can ship everything at maximum possible speed. They probably could if they forced it, but the juice isn’t worth the squeeze on that approach.

May as well as “Spyware Free” in there too. They’re probably just trying to add buzzwords to get that generic “office purchaser” selection

But…iron is heavier than feathers…

I mean you can see it even a bit with Payday 3 and 2, if 2 wasn’t such a cash cow you can believe a lesser company would’ve shut that thing down ages ago

Every in game auction house lol pretty much any item that hasn’t just been bought out and manipulated has the same entries.
