It has nothing to do with tax. It’s just to make the price look one smaller. May I ask where you were taught it had anything to do with tax?

You understand perfectly. It’s fucking stupid. No, the fraction never changes. It’s just a culturally and legally accepted price scam, one of many that only exist in the land of freedom. The price listed is literally never the price you pay in the USA.

(Disclaimer: this is not a fully formed counter-argument to your statement, merely my thought-vomit).

As a kid growing up in the 90’s you wouldn’t believe the amount of times my parents and teachers vehemently insisted to me that I MUST do dictionary lookup drills because there’s no way I would just always have access to an electronic dictionary in my pocket. I was also told that I absolutely HAD to be fast at paper-based multiplication and long division. It’s not like I would just carry a calculator around with me everywhere I go, that would be insane!

1/10 no tutorial on how to jump over an office chair.

They started being a huge asshole, and when called out for it just up and left.

Holy moly those specs are remarkably similar to my 1st generation Prius.

There is only one single core belief in fascism. There must be an “in” group that the state protects, and an “out” group that the state oppresses. There are zero other rules. This means that the definition of the in group is completely arbitrary and fluid based on what helps the strongman at the top. If you ever question the definition of the in group, you are automatically part of the out group.

Isn’t that the company that requires subscriptions to use your own printer?

In the piracy world, “fed” is short for Federal Bureau of Investigation police officer.

No, that’s literally not how binding arbitration works in the US.

I’m sure there’s some bullshit fine print about binding arbitration. It’s so cool that corporations can just say “we waive your fundamental rights because we feel like it” and it’s just…legal. Greatest country on earth.

There’s and endless list of games people have complained about changing during early access. It’s a stupid idea. Don’t preorder games.

You know software is made by people, right?

Holy shit if there’s that much dust on the front grille of the computer I can’t even imagine how much is caked on the internal heat sinks. I bet you could literally double the speed of these computers with a vacuum or air blower.

If you’re looking for a full list of these kind of navigation shortcuts, they all come from readline so read the man page for that. Or just look up the basic navigation of emacs which is what readline is mimicking.

Holy shit $23/mo and they won’t even host the website for you?

That doesn’t “make sense” at all, it’s insane. If we end the billionaire class and distribute wealth more evenly productivity and efficiency would go waaaay up because the people managing money will actually care about it instead of setting it on fire.

The coldcopyright never bothered me anyways.

I’m not going to defend google, but it’s important to understand the nature of the beast. It’s not possible to simply revert back to an older version of search ranking because it is a constant cat-and-mouse game between google developers and malicious actors trying to game the system with their shitty websites.
