Who'll win the contest of killing their platform faster: twitter or the gamefaqs message boards?

The new meta is to apply to modship to gain access to CE.

Not worth the effort.

Wooow, CE is absolutely going to die off at this rate lol no new users and purg bans for life means eventually the numbers will thin.

I doubt most new user accounts were anything other than alts anyway, but yeah, this ensures it.

I bought some for my kids recently, thinking they were still a "hip and cool" quick solution for lunch at school or even on a weekend at home. I always thought they were great.

Then I tried one myself and was disgusted. Did my tastes change or have they done so much cost-cutting in the past 20-30 years that they barely resemble what they used to be?

Probably both. Did your kids at least like them?

No.

I was being sarcastic.

It blows my mind what has happened to vehicle prices. Used and new.

Two things happened. First is that auto loans have been heavily relied upon to sell vehicles, a significant number of these are subprime loans with very long terms to get the monthly payment "affordable", and this has been happening since before the pandemic. The second is that the pandemic gave the auto companies record profits since they could sell fewer vehicles for much higher prices because of the "chip shortage" and general "supply issues" giving them an excuse. It was initially legitimate, but they've gotten so used to such high profit margins and are unwilling to drop prices.

There is now over $1.5 trillion in auto loans out there: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MVLOAS

Just another component of the everything bubble.

Obviously this is because of the chip shortage and stimulus checks from years ago.

I borrow some stock at $10 a share and sell them immediately. The price goes down to $4 a share so I buy the amount I borrowed and return them to you. Bam, there's my profit of $6 a share minus fees and interest paid while borrowing and waiting for the price to go down.

Eventually. They've been eager to do so for decades, but they're first knocking out others in the region that may come to the aid of Iran. Here's mccain (supposedly one of the good republicans we're told about) happy about the idea:

Non-profit (except for the execs).

Yeah u less this is a super large or intensive game it is kind of a mistake not to have a Switch version.

Will probably have a Switch 2 version which they can't announce until the Switch 2 gets an official release date.

What does this mean? https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/T10Y2Y

I assume so, but the cost of staying overweight is greater.

Sounds like you should stop making soup.

Same thing, different name.

Nonsense. Propaganda is only what the bad guys do.

Whoops, I had the URL copied to my clipboard but forgot to add it to the post: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2719150/Holo_X_Break/

By the way, has anyone been playing Holo X Break? It's fun, though the level design is plain (stuffed with cute art and references though). The different characters give good replayability.

Washing your car too frequently strips it of its natural oils.

Republicans do not have the power to do that.

That's only a thing if you have power

They'll find a way. The rat bastards will crawl through every muddy crevice to find a way. They always do.

She should've done it earlier because now republicans would invoke the made-up "no appointments during an election year" rule.

Apparently not. I just saw it in my weekly sales ad for the first time the other day. Never heard of it before that.

Who the fuck would buy that shit if they had a choice? Given how recently you've seen it, I think this is them thinking they have a new market outside of being a locked-in choice at specific venues. I guess we'll see if this stays in groceries. Based on the pricing, it doesn't look like they have to sell much to come out ahead. A regular price of $2 per can of fucking water is hilariously stupid.

Grocery prices are ridiculously high. Official figures claim ~25% cumulative inflation on food since 2020 which I think is under what it truly is. I estimate 50% cumulative inflation over the same period *at a minimum* with 100% being more likely depending on what you buy. Meat took a beating and is significantly more expensive. Snacks are among the most inflated, which is insane considering how cheap they should be to make. I don't buy snacks just as a health policy for myself, but I've noticed the prices before the pandemic and after. It's crazy. For reference, my groceries just for myself lands at around $100 a month (whereas it'd be $50-75 in the past).

I don't know why Liquid Death is being included. Isn't it just selling at concerts and other venues where it's often the only option for water?

Bullshit.

Aren't you supposed to be the economics guy? Why are you calling bullshit on economic reports you don't like? Where's your hard data?

NPR must be Russian propaganda.

Maybe they can use some of that Microsoft money to finally use a modern engine.

More like move from offense to super mask-off offense.

Don't they have an even better solution now where they just put giant screens surrounding the set?

Why did you say this with the implication that it's been a long time since a major release and you had to struggle to think of one

The Peach game just released two weeks ago

More like it's not really a big game.

Doesn't look like there's anything coming down the pipeline anyway. Their last big game was what, the Peach one? Switch 2 is likely coming early next year.

It's been right at +10% for 100 years so it's a pretty safe bet.

The British empire lasted for a long time and look at it now.

A million dollars won't be worth shit by then. This is also assuming that the S&P 500 will have the same average returns forever and ever, which feels like the ultimate rugpull of all time.

Democrats are the centrists.

Company execs are among the dumbest motherfuckers and they're the perfect candidates to be replaced with the fancy pants autocomplete we currently know as "AI".

Yeah, they've been attacking each other since the 1970's.
But Israel "struck first" apparently.

Yeah, how do you think israel was founded?

Iran struck first, on Oct. 7th.

History didn't start on October 7th.

Those stores are generally bad for their communities... they pay shit wages and sell genuinely substandard merch often in sneakily smaller quantities that make the price actually higher per ounce, etc...

Wow, sounds like their margins must be higher than their competitors. Makes me wonder why they have to close.
