OpenTTD. Trains go vroom.

Had it on my radar for a while, didn't think I would like it this much. Boy was I wrong, my sleep is as badly scheduled as my trains.

"Typisch Deutsche Bahn!"

(TIL the notoriously unpunctual Deutsche Bahn (DB) owned a internationally operating logistics company, but sold it last year.)

Discord, YouTube and Twitch. Even if I don't count 1 because I don't really build any online presence, all 3 together probably count as having mainstream social media no matter how strict the definition.

For purely economic reasons, the less often I need to buy it, the more I allow myself to splurge.

So vegetables and my go to drink I consume everyday are bought the absolute cheapest, but that spice blend for those veggies lasts me months so I really don't care if there's a cheaper alternative.

Of course, expensiveness is measured per kg/litre, paying a bit more up front is always worth it if it means a lower price per kg (if you can consume it before it goes bad).

Never heard that argument.

When I mention any transport be free, the only thing people care about is "But won't it be overrun with the undesirables?", the last part being described with various levels of political correctness.

And while it might be male privilege that I don't find the feeling of security a particularly big problem, some people do reject it on the basis of giving homeless people temporary shelter alone. Fuck those guys.

I don't know how this fits into any off this, but "gendered bus routes" popped into my head. This is definitely something in our society taken to the absurd, but I'm not sure what.

Fairly certain what you describe is what they meant with inflation proof, compared to a fixed price.

In any case, I imagine most Patreon creators have over time adjusted their reward tiers, or gathered more Patreon supporters to keep up with how Inflation affects their costs, thus giving more to Patreon. Both the company and creators would benefit here.

Instead, increasing the (average) percentage just helps the company at the cost of creators. To make their pay keep up with inflation, they still need to either increase the number of supporters or the price of rewards, so the company benefits doubly. Edit: forgot, this change is currently only for new creators. Existing accounts do not need to adjust their pricing (yet)

There seem to be enough alternatives that only charge a 5% fee, so this might just lose Patreon money if enough Creators see this as a step too far.

The reason there are fewer child births in the US since the 90s is mainly the reduction of pregnancies in the demographic "25 and younger". They didn't made a conscious choice, looking at their abacus and evaluating the state of the world. They slipped into it and were forced to make it work. Interestingly, they then still had children later in life as well, for more complex and personal reasons.

It seems to me, that if you give woman the choice, they choose not be pregnant at the cost of their career.

@gork is that true?

For once, we shouldn't assume stupidity when malice is a perfectly valid explanation.

Can't harass activists with the threat of jail time for some chalk drawings, better claim it might not have been chalk.

Link him Bill Wurtz's "history of the entire world I guess" and tell him to skip to 2:08

As long as they use practice safe sex, it really is none of my business.
