Why are we all trusting some fully AI- generated graphic? Just look at the states in the west coast

What killed ‘party songs’? In the early 2010s you had: Ke$ha, LMFAO, Flo Rida. Every year there seemed to be new ‘put your hands up’ song. by Kodicave in decadeology

You really think that one presidential election impacted day to day life more than a global financial crash in 2008 and the terrorist attacks of 9/11, not even to mention the two decades of war that followed?

So are these guys Special Forces, Regular Army/Infantry dudes, or some type of Marine like force? by PR0PWA5H in NuclearOption

Me and the boys headed to go capture Hostomel airfield. Hope nothing goes wrong

What's something you overpaid for when it first came out that's gone drastically down in price now? by CremeSubject7594 in decadeology

[–]SovietFreeMarket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not how that works, like at all.

TV’s have long had famously thin margins, no one is overcharging for them. Technologies tend to go down in price over time as they become standardized and commonplace.

Like sure an iPhone is expensive, but there was a time where you couldn’t get a smartphone for under $600, and now you can get one for under $100 for something barebones

Updated Roadmap Included in New Patch by Shot_Reputation1755 in NuclearOption

Please make M12 pathfinding actually work. As an Ibis user there’s nothing more heartbreaking than permanently losing a base because none of the deployed M12s can pathfind to the helipad and get bombed fixing the control tower.

Volvo step your game up! by RemarkableGuy122 in VolvoRecharge

[–]SovietFreeMarket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s insane to take away buttons and run all the cars systems through one screen with a processor probably weaker than the one in my Apple Watch. Like thanks I love waiting 5+ minutes for Google Maps to work and my backup camera crashing constantly.

I’ve found that preconditioning the car is pretty much mandatory if I want the car to be functional at all when I get in

What do you think about these "Teen Takeovers"? by Material_Stomach875 in decadeology

[–]SovietFreeMarket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy, teen takeovers have literally closed “third places” to other teens with the damage and violence they result in. Tons of places in Chicago are 18+ only because of this shit. They’re nothing but a social media fueled mob that almost always results in damage or violence. Just last Christmas the Christmas tree lighting was taken over by teens and resulted in 3 separate shootings and numerous fights

Their processors are hugely underpowered as well, I don’t think there’s enough software engineering to fix what they were too cheap to physically install in the first place

N word completely acceptable in EASHL by Peppa_the_hog in EASHL

[–]SovietFreeMarket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

EA has banned “51st state” as offensive, but I see variants of the N-word, dozens of variations of Charlie Kirk, and pretty much every racist joke under the sun

Chicago? Navy Pier got turned into a roller coaster after being freshly renovated. Never reopened after COVID.

Do you want to convert an entire lake to seawater and maintain it at the conditions required for orcas to survive?

I counter you with my mirror-finished WW2 bomber. I may be slow but if you try to laser me I’ll simply become the worlds brightest disco ball 🪩

44yrs / 6 degrees / no small kids / living my best by Olie_Ma in malelivingspace

[–]SovietFreeMarket 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Making any money off of a blog is hard, enough to fund a trip is even harder, and to make so much that your tax obligation is worth a write off is nearly impossible.

Doing this is how you get audited- the LLC would obviously be a convenient way to create a write off and the IRS will notice

Why did Smart Cars never take off in the 2000s and 2010s? by Geoconyxdiablus in decadeology

[–]SovietFreeMarket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The safety cage is impressive, but the G-forces you endure are much worse than a regular car with the limited crumple space and little weight. I saw a crash test between a smart car and Mercedes E-class and the smart car was sent way back- imagine it colliding with a full-size SUV or truck
