Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why aren't people outraged about convenience pricing?
1·14 days agoNo worries. Yeah, stores with that kind of pricing are the ones that I typically avoid.

2·14 days agoI’m not seeing the comparison here. There are grocery stores where you can get potatoes at a reasonable price, based on the costs involved in growing, shipping, and stocking said potatoes. No, I don’t grow my own potatoes, I shop at those stores. The grocery stores that charge more for potatoes are generally the “high end” grocery stores (in my area, Whole Foods, Raleys, Sprouts, etc) and are not doing convenience pricing which is what is being discussed.

93·15 days agoMe saying that Starbucks is not forcing anyone to do anything and saying you’re allowed to make your own decisions is… Victim blaming. Lmao.
You know that there are people starving in the streets right? And you’re freaking out because “I need my coffee 😩😩😩 I’ll die without it 😩😩😩” get a grip, please

The comment I replied to was apparently made by a coward.

No, you’re choosing to pay more. Make your own coffee at home. Or hell, don’t drink coffee. Nobody’s making you do that, either.
A slightly better example might be convenience stores in low-income areas where many people don’t have access to transportation to the more affordable grocery stores. The fact that you immediately jumped to Starbucks (something many people consider a treat of sorts) as something you’re forced to buy out of convenience shows how privileged you are to have this “problem”.
This comment (namely, the age of “the girls” and why there won’t be sleep for a while) is awfully ambiguous for someone that did not see your previous post, especially with the home brews. Lol.

4·20 days agoThank you for writing and posting this. I’m not huge in the scene but have noticed a large amount of posts in this community claiming XYZ game from 30+ years ago has been emulated. Recently there was the post here from the guy that recreated “Z” (a game I admittedly had not heard of), and he responded to every comment in the thread, accept the one asking if AI was used to port it. Like, if you used AI, just say you did! I’m not vehemently against it in the right application and recreating an old game seems like a decent use case for it. But the fact that they shied away from the question says that not only was it made using AI, it was probably entirely made with AI and barely tested.
I used to see a headline saying that a game had been recreated, and immediately think “hell yeah” and move on. I don’t think that I have ever installed one of these games and actually played them before. With the rise of AI development, I don’t even get the blip of excitement anymore, I just say “neat”, assume some people are really happy to play a childhood favorite, and that’s it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What movie would you suggest on either side of the below question?
3·23 days agoI’d be quite irritated if I offered to “trade” movies with someone and I gave them an 80 minute comedy and was told to watch a 12+ hour trilogy, lol. They are indeed white movies though.

I’ve heard this before, and believed it to be a practical design for a while, but when I started shooting, I realized that you can definitely tell when you’ve ran out of bullets in the mag because the bolt typically locks back and feels distinctly different than a normal cycle


Tesla drivers near me are way worse. They always have their high beams on, without fail.
