  • GameStop makes $55.5bn takeover offer for eBay

  • Like Free-to-Play games and Casinos, they "make their real money" on whales. Go step foot in a Best-Buy; 95% of the time, the employee-to-customer-ratio is about 5-to-1, or worse.

    To be clear, I think basing one's business on that concept is delusional at-best, but its what a "profitable" retail chain has looked-like to share-holders for at least the last 30 years.

  • Open Source can also imply “Off-the-Shelf” parts, in the same way IBM made their Personal Computer with parts that were already on the market from other manufacturers.

  • Looks like that's the Bill-of-Materials if an individual sources the exact parts they specify at retail. That's without including the value of the tools one would need to own already, plus skills with said tools, and time

    Basically, a BoM is used in the DIY space to give one a realistic idea of what a project will cost them "at a minimum" - it's not a "with profit for us" "price", it's a "don't go into this half-assed and come after/bash us months/years later for mis-leading you about what's possible with fuck-all for skills, resources, or perseverance".

    I would like to think I could get it done much cheaper, in the way a shade-tree mechanic can keep an absolute piece-of-trash on the road for years, but won't sell or recommend it to a friend, but even more-so, I would rather spend the time and resources making something I could be proud to pass-on to a beloved family-member or best-friend, so "$1200" is the minimum figure I'm going to use when deciding whether to commit to this project.

  • I'm probably older than you. Definitely better reading comprehension and actually took my meds today. At least blocking me would get you out of my way, which is an option I offered from the start.

    Psyop? Your NLP handbook or AI waifu tell you to throw that non-sense at me?

  • It really doesn't though. Linguistic conventions don't override reality, and reality doesn't follow linguistic conventions. The reverse, however...

  • I was also an adult the last time I visitted the mall, years-ago. Were you an adult the last time you went to a mall? Has that changed in the manner of "was an adult but now am not"? Is you a pirate now, or a Benjamin Button?

  • The guilt one should feel or not is in no way dependent on what others blame them for. We all agree he gets a good chunk of the blame, but do you think Trump feels guilt? Should he? See, it's backwards! He sure spends a lot of time shifting blame though, as if blame-shifting itself were the most righteous calling of orangemanity.

    So ask yourself, are you trying to be like Trump, while discussing problems he refuses to admit are even real problems?

    You should feel guilty, most of all, for refusing to shut-up about how blameless you are. So blameless that you must pre-emptively shift blame to others, as if people like me care if blame falls on us any more. It's like you and the majority of people out there, every one of them just like you in your approach to this, honestly believes you're more blameless than others.

    I've told you to do nothing. Called you deserving of nothing-in-particular. Said nothing about myself as being any different in blameworthiness to you, beyond that I am bored with the notion of blame itself in the face of how bad things are, how much worse they are going to get, and how hard fixing any of it will be.

    None of that has stopped you coming at me as though my refusal to call you or your pet exceptions blameless is a particularly eggregious offense to your very soul. Grow up.

    EDIT:

    I have my own Lemmy Community plan and philosophy designed to adress this issue, but I can’t run anything while making life or death decisions daily.

    ... wtf did I just read?

  • Let's blame the right people, k?

    Jump

  • The OP literally includes older generations blaming younger ones. Now you're creating layers of distraction by quibbling over what is or isn't "the real" distraction.

    Who's to blame? Who cares, so long as you don't have to do anything about it, suffer any loss or inconvenience, or even admit you maybe share the slightest hint of fault.

    Gross.

  • BTDT. That's my point. We're all to blame, or no one is, because no-one will survive to be pointing fingers if no-one steps up.

    Delusional? Wasting time being picky about who's to blame before the crisis is resolved is delusional. We already know the solution involves killing or at least imprissoning a bunch of people, and who to go after first.

    Again, do something or get out of the way. Wasting everyone's time crying "why are you looking at ME like that!?" is a distraction we can't afford.

  • Do something about it or get out the way. Crying "why me though!?" is a distraction the real victims don't need.

    EDIT: Nice sidestep with "was". You could do something useful today, or tomorrow. Instead, you're here trying to shift blame that no-one was even pointing your way before you started preemptively whining.

    EDITx2: bolding.

  • Put me on the wall and shoot me all you like. Just make sure I'm surrounded by rich old people also getting shot. At this point, the fact the olds won't volunteer to die or die doing something about it is plenty of reason to blame them also.

    Future generations, the environment, and the guillotine factoy need the time and resources they will waste keeping my wrinkled ass alive more than they need the microseconds of sleep and comfort that killing me "should" cost them.
