You can blame that thought process on the 1919 Dodge v.

US corporations have to show growth every year, it doesn’t even have to be actual profit, but the shareholders want to see growth year over year so now this late in the game every corp is grasping at straws trying to hit those numbers.

Easy financing from other related greedy corporations. Sort of like the crappy deal going on, on my video game island. Sure, I love the economic/political messages that I think I see in _Animal Crossing New Horizons_ but how in the world does Brewster the pigeon get away with charging 200 bells just for a cup of bitter coffee? Converting to dollars, that would be around $20, which makes even Starbucks look cheap in comparison. Yet I keep buying, because if I do it during the promotion, I get so many miles that if I sold those miles, then I am actually getting paid to drink the bitter coffee. Kickbacks much? Brewster and the owner of the island are such great friends? Overall, I think that life on my video game island is such a great deal, just my pet peeve about The Roost so over-charging just for a cup of bitter coffee. Good thing that the island does not have a health department, because Brewster rarely actually washes the coffee cups. Just wipes them out. And I do not even like coffee. "Make mine a hot chocolate with extra mint." If only that was on the menu.

@monsieurlee 24 дня назад

I remember when Tesla release cars where you can pay to "unlock" the extra battery capacity. Fanboys were defending it the same way. They claim that you paid for 80% capacity (or whatever), and that if you want the extra 20%, you should be willing to pay for it. Uh, no. You already paid the full 100%. Tesla didn't put 100% in the car and only charge you for 80%, waiting for you to pay the extra 20% if you want, and if you don't, they eat the loss. You already paid the 100% but they only give you 80%. and are double charging you for that extra 20% capacity. It is not a case of paying for what you want. It is a case of NOT getting what you paid for in the first place. I don't understand why this is so hard for people to figure out. What's even more hilarious is when there was some hurricane that was about to hit, they temporarily unlocked the extra capacity for customers living on the Gulf Coast to help them get out of the affected area, and people were eating it up like Elon / Tesla is some magnanimous figure. They are claiming credit for a problem they solved in the first place.

@Alvin853 24 дня назад

If you think a car is too expensive because you're paying for features you aren't getting to use, then buy a different car. By everyone's logic here (the optional features are already built into the base price) the BMW should be so expensive that everybody will just buy a different brand. It's not like BMW has a monopoly on cars without adaptive suspension. If the Tesla that you only get 80% of the capacity costs as much as a car from a different brand that has the same battery capacity, are you really paying for those extra 20% that you don't get to use? Or do you expect Tesla to lower the price if they had a battery of the proper capacity available? Maybe the overhead of logistics and having to stock a different type of battery and potentially different installation processes would eat up the cost advantage of the smaller battery, so the price would be the same anyway. Economies of scale

I absolutely hate the "voluntary market transaction" defense. 1. Of course I'm not going to be their customer. But I'm still allowed to complain about it, and explain to people why I'm not going to be their customer. 2. The company in particular might want to know why people aren't being their customer in case they might care to improve and gain more customers in the future. 3. It completely misses the point in the first place - in this case, that the hardware for the suspension or the heated seats is already in the car and was already paid for when buying the car. There's no further upkeep needed on BWM's part, therefore a subscription model is not appropriate. The person writing the stupid sportsball seats comment very likely has no defense for why this business model is good actually, so they argue in bad faith by changing the subject.

@davidgoodnow269 23 дня назад

Interesting. It's been a while since I bought a vehicle, but I always bought a full-size wheel and tire to carry as a spare, plus a tire repair kit (and, depending on the manufacturer and model, a couple of spare parts that are known to have random break-down: fuel pumps for all GM vehicles, a spare starter for Ford pickups, a spare ignition for all Hondas).

I'm a software engineer who likes to write software outside of his job. All of my software is free software, licensed under the GPL and AGPL to ensure that it remains free. I'm sick of all this subscription and SaaS nonsense, and I'm sick of corpos trying to tell me what I'm allowed to do with MY hardware and MY software. Before long, phone manufacturers are going to start selling "subscription phones" where you pay a monthly fee for the privilege of using the device... if you stop paying, the phone shuts down and stays off. They've already started selling laptops with locked bootloaders and "protections" to prevent you from doing anything "harmful" (whatever that means). Next, Windows will switch to a subscription model where you pay every month or the OS locks you out of your files and your work. And you can't get system level access because "you might cause damage." And people are just going to spread their legs and take it because they don't care about their freedom...

I mostly agree, though I also accept it is possible to have SaaS and other subcription services done right - the early days of MMO video games for instance really could justify the fee, ongoing content and at the time the servers and bandwidth required to run the game would be ruiniously expensive compared today. Streaming services as well could be justifiable as well - the content costs money to licence and the bandwidth even today as videos are such large files isn't going to be cheap. Though they actually have to do it right to earn the money and as far as I know none of the paid for streaming services are really worth paying for - but I don't much care for that sort of entertainment so mostly I hear Louis' rants about Netflix...

A thing to be noted: for computers, YES, they are orders of magnitude faster than in the past. How can it be, though, that the loading times are the same or slower no matter how much technology advances? I think this gotta be discussed more. We have computers that are -literally- quadrillions of times faster than in the 1990's and we still need to wait 30 seconds for a computer to boot, 2 seconds for an app to open, etc. Makes no sense. The bloat, the lazy library usage, the incompetence of programmers, the spyware, everything wastes computer resources in an unbelievable way. My colleagues who code sometimes dare to say "oh, I use this library that is OPTIMIZED for doing this operation".

This generated s marked for third-party “pirate” colur bust generators with hue control tact could be added to your folour set to enable almost full colour reception. i say, “almost” becsuse colour is PHASE encoded and needs the burst to set the reference phase pg the local subcarrier oscillator in the TV set. The third party dongles cpuld not lock in phase because there was nothing to lock to, so they jut slowly “freewheeled” and the hue o the picture slowly changed over a few hours…so they were fitted with s manual hue control that required tweaking every half hour or so.

On another car, I thought that the electric locks were making random noises. Pulled the fuse out, "fixed". Who can afford to put much money into an old car? I used to change my own watch batteries. I must have a couple of sets of jeweler's screwdrivers around somewhere? Now they have the watch battery lasting 7 or 10 years, by the time a watch needs a new battery, it is about time for the watch to be replaced, as the buttons are likely failing by then anyway. And often the crappy watch bands will not even last as long as the watch. I like my current watch, so I took it to the mall repair guy, let him put a different band on it for me. And I have already bought the next watch for when it eventually fails. I suspect Louis could replace her battery for far less? Sealed unit really? So that means that she could take it swimming with her, and it would be just fine? Or is that BMW utter BS? Before I switched over to a Linux desktop, my Mac mini desperately needed more RAM, its 2 GB was just not getting the job done. Because I had the older Mac mini, it was easy to replace myself, only costed $50 to max it out at 16 GB, even more RAM than my current Linux has. The newer "better"? Mac mini has soldered in RAM.

The problem with Stop Killing Games is that it's very naive just from reading the FAQ. It talks about how easy it to migrate to private servers based on pre-conceived notions of simpler games where you just double click an executable like Minecraft servers and it all just works. Meanwhile games relying on SQL databases, API endpoints, content delivery networks, third party services, etc. will be absolute hell to convert. And then it just says "oh but if they just designed better...", when the whole reason for that particular design can be anything from security, scalability, or cost. Then it follows up with just saying "we don't expect all functionality to work," what level of functionality is acceptable? And who is going to measure the level of functionality and enforce whether or not it is met. Would an independent developer have to submit their game for review to some regulatory board and if they fail, they have to either refund all customers or spend the next however many months developing at a loss? And well the funniest part is when it just says releasing internal executables is "not at all" a security risk.

But the people you bought the auditorium from left the door to the booth seets locked, and when you ask them for the key they tell you they can either sell you the key for a lump sum or you can pay them a monthly fee to come in to your auditorium and let you into the booth whenever a show is scheduled.

"Bootlicker" A term to describe a person who commits the act of bootlicking. The act of bootlicking is when an oppressed person or persons, such as the working class, sucks up to the oppressor in hopes of appeasing them. The reason it is referred to at "bootlicking" is because the oppressor metaphorically has a boot over the face or neck of the oppressed, suffocating them, and the oppressed licks it in an attempt to dissuade the oppressor.

AshiStarshade's argument is disingenuous. This is not you having a car with a type of suspension, then running over to your neighbor and then taking their suspension. This is the automaker saying "pay us to get full functionality of your vehicle" A better example would be that although you bought the seat, you are not entitled to lower it unless you paid an extra fee.

What used to happen was manufacturers just called something that they decided to put on every car a "standard feature" and used the list of standard features as a tool to sell more cars? More standard features would raise the perceived value, then they would sell more cars, and thats how they made more money. If you wanted something that cost more to add to the car, you just paid more for the option. 100% fair and straightforward. Normalizing all these subscription based features is the real problem with this, not whether or not people choose to buy a BMW. Too many people arent getting that.

People stopped thinking critically, why bother protesting when you can pay more to get rid of whatever annoyance you have. All the standards are set by corporations and trying to pushback is just a waste of time and comfort and that is something the average consumer hates.

The same concept applies even toward protesting. You can read all about it from the era of the Occupy Wallstreet protests. Not only does the police state harass any dissent, but so do hired mercenaries which sabotage the protests, and the deep state does the same. It's pay-to-win and the jackbooted thugs know who they work for.

"When something was made better, it was made available to everyone." yes exactly this, more and more proprietary garbage has been coming out in every industry and I'm getting sick of it. It decreases overall progressive efficiency if less minds are able to utilise it in the long term. Seems like every company is worried about leaks and reverse-engineering that they go to unfathomable lengths and cripple the end-user experience by the end of it. We need more standardisation to occur to raise product expectations.

I understand monthly subscriptions for software that absolutely has to be updated weekly or monthly in order for it to work... but for software that doesn't really need any updates in order to do what it was designed to do, I want to buy a 1 time license for the current version and then if a major update to the software comes out in the future AND I want it then I can pay a smaller fee to upgrade to it! Anything else, is a rip-off! Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions are a ripoff for most people who only use it on 1 PC and it's the only PC they have, for example. But most people just don't know that!

Louis, progress and freedom do not go up in a straight line. When Britain first adopted mass industrialization in the 18th century, quality of life decreased, cities became overcrowded, people worked *MORE* and had less ability to spend time with their families. Hershey and Ford made good products, but they also made company towns. When gold, oil, coal booms came to town, robber barons always tried to monopolize and squeeze as much possible out of their workers. Labour organizations forced governments to adopt regulations. We always have to fight to keep our freedoms, now is no exception.

Probably OP had subpar parenting growing up. One of the ways caregiver parent make kids do what they want is to make the kids believe they are being unreasonable or unfair for complaining about something that's looks like a bad deal for them. Thus kids get conditioned to rationalize or make excuses for people putting them in disadvantaged positions - as they reasons that they have valid reasons to do. As adults they tend to make excuses for or be apologists for abusive people and institutions, as they were rewarded for being the "reasonable" people. Unfortunately, the rewards were only in the form of validation (think pat on the head) rather than material rewards (e.g. safety, resource compensation, etc.)
