Agreed, but I doubt he made the changes at all. He stopped paying the bills. Google cut him off on the weekend on purpose. They made a point. Twitter is done. How that shit is still trading at over $50 a share is beyond me. This trainwreck is beyond salvation.
I mean, it's easy enough to maintain a garden but it won't be anywhere near enough food, and it's certainly not 100% free.
As far as hunting, it's vastly more expensive than the grocery store. The permit alone is generally more, not to mention the cost of the land, processing, equipment, etc (and the time). There's a joke that venison is some of the most expensive meat on the planet.
Give an inch, they'll take a mile. These crazies will just find a new thing to demand. Probably selling contraceptives, or crayons with all the colors of the rainbow.
Charging for both a connection speed and a limit is ridiculous. The latter is obviously a cash grab, but paired with different tiers of speed just screams "regulate me"
The problem is that they always want more. It's not enough to make money. So the ads and intrusive garbage gets worse and worse until we reach an unusable nightmare.
TV shows have banner ads during the show.
Everyone wants to send you notifications.
Even cars are starting to have ads on their screens.
Netflix was already charging per screen, so there really were never any free loaders.
This represents a massive price jump for most users.
Now if you want to use the service on the go, you basically can't.
There is a bunch of competition now
I just get so tired of everyone rolling over and taking whatever mega corporations dish out. I would have thought on a non-essential service would be easy to push back against. Clearly I was wrong. Now every other service will see this as an opportunity.
I've thought about this before, and you're definitely right that games are technically cheaper when you factor in inflation. However, they sell to a much larger audience now, so it's not like the major studios are starving. Even so, I would probably be fine with it, if it weren't for the tendency to:
include microtransactions, rather than achievements
sell dlc that should have just been part of the game
Release the same uninspired crap every year (call of duty, sports ball 2023, etc.)
sell broken games
I'm guessing this one will be #4. Hoping to be wrong.
I was surprised to learn GM is killing i They're cheap, they sell well, and have decent range.
Looked it up and the Tldr is: The batteries are outdated and expensive. They're replacing the bolt with an Equinox EV.
The Bolt seems like a great pizza delivery vehicle though.
To Arms is a free deck builder. It's not pretty, but I love it. It's also free
Solitairica is a fun RPG twist on solitaire. It's a couple bucks
They still get 30 senators though.
Chris Christie is an idiot, but this is the first explanation that I've seen that makes any sense.
Trump is one of the dumbest beings on the planet. Egotistical delusions and tantrums are his M.O. This explanation lines up perfectly with that.
I like all of those things. I'll give it a try

Pettiness yes. Bullying him... no. Just a petty little man.
I'm still not sure why they bought out Yamamoto. Seemed unnecessary.
Still, Tampa was setup for a decade of winning...
I'm hoping to play some Tony, but they don't run so well for the GC and PS2.
Thinking about revisiting Super Mario world too.

Interesting read to me... Thanks for posting

Feels like I can't support anything without finding out it's run by pure evil- or that it's in the process of being ruined.
Fail again
Breaking my heart. At least it can still view YouTube without ads for now. I'll branch out again.
Love me some Brave...I use Firefox when that has issues though.

It's exhausting.
My mind boggles at this.

Sometimes I hate people.
