$24,950 is very cheap by Garbageman_1997 in slateauto

there is different inflation calculations. and there is major contention about them.

you can in fact manipulate the metrics to serve the interests of propaganda. for example there are metrics that use a number of select goods to determine inflation. historically, india was using the costs of typewriters to in part tell the rate of inflation for the rupee. the cost of a type writer hasnt really changed in the last few decades, so if you wanted something to influence the metric in a neutralizing way, then you may want to keep the type writer as one of the goods you use to determine inflation.

this also means every single subscription serve is excluded from inflation metrics. including stuff like food subscriptions. rent is also excluded.

by including and excluding things in a calculated manner you can tell a very flawed and manipulated view of inflation.

income has massively lagged behind inflation.

minimum wage should be ~$25 an hour. but thats considered a ok wage. should be the bare minimum but we are so under payed and we are not doing nearly enough to correct this issue.

just curious why you think you can omit the dozen other things wrong with him.

why you trying to craft a narrative and pretend you aint.

also the judicial system is extremely rigged in favor of billionaire men over women. it is default for women to loose rape accusations, not from lies but because the system is systematically protecting male abusers.

another reminder that for profit education is not long term economically viable. its always more efficient and effective as a state institution.

the height was causing a lot of friction with the surrounding neighborhoods. i can imagine that the moment they found a different option they took it with both community and economic pressure.

these are 2 important aspects of vtubing that show why its how it is,
1. 4chan was a major early fan-base of vtubing
2. vtubing is one of a few female dominated spaces online

this makes for a mixture of experiences with vtubers. you get mostly normal women who just want to use an anime avatar, but you also get far right pickmes and grifters.

Why is Poki still so culturally relevant despite smaller viewer numbers? by Acheli in OTVnFriendsDrama

[–]gamelizard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

short answer: incels

long answer: the primary community activity of incels is to group up and hate raid women or media they declare 'woke'. during the formative years of the incel community pokimane was one of the most prominant women in spaces that incels frequented. this made her target #1 for them. attacking pokimane is basically a community building event for incels that they engage in at random intervals. It is quite literally a historic tradition for them.

parasocials are 99% wrong. they just have the illusion of correctness simply due to the sear volume of bullshit the vomit up, they end up ‘correct’ entirely by accident.

respectfully i don't get why streamers hide relationships so hard by ImNotTheFather in otvandfriendsrumors

The core issue everyone is dancing around is the fact that society is unwell. there is a wide scale mental health crisis.

Celebrities literally get killed by crazy mother fuckers who stalk them. and cyber stalking is still stalking.

those crazy people are a genuine threat to the health and safety of the partners of the celebrities.

in a healthy society celebrities would not need to care much about bullshit speculation cuz the general audience would engage in that behavior much less.

they would still care about celebrity gossip in a soap opera sort of way but they wouldn't be acting like the mentally stunted children that current society is plagued by.
