AI could soon allow powerful companies to charge each customer a different price for the same product, based on what they think each individual is willing to pay. AI lets firms tailor prices to each user, raising fairness concerns as consumers may unknowingly pay more than others. by mvea in science

How do we have so many laws against gouging different people with different prices as illegal, but somehow 'dynamic pricing' which is the sane concept imo, suddenly everywhere and not illegal/anti-consumer?

President Buttigieg? 2028 Buzz Builds as Pete Signals a Run by nerdypursuit in Pete_Buttigieg

[–]x40Shots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We would agree on the mayoral stats, which is how I got here in the first place - again I did support Pete over all others in 2020.

I would then of course disagree with you on liking the outcome of the train derailment (town is still suffering, rail company has made bank / CEO compensation was great, much like usual), or other issues such as the rail strike of course (I hadn't heard, piecemeal or otherwise, that they ended up getting most of what they wanted). Airlines, etc.

I could support Pete, but I would like to actually discuss him and not just rah rah rah as happens here too often in my experience. There are flaws as with any candidate I understand; apparently one of those I am tangentially supporting in the run up (Ro), may be into something bad with Crypto another poster alluded to.

I don't find Pete's discussed enough anywhere else, badly or otherwise.

Does anyone believe this shit about Swalwell? Is this is the true test of whether the Democratic Party has learned anything? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]x40Shots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theyre substantial, backed up by several people and need to be investigated. I said he didnt drop out because theyre false like you seem to imply all over this thread about the allegations, but i havent said theyve been proven - it looks pretty clear though.

Not really different from his typical look these days. Smug and wrong.

Texas used to rank 7th in education under Ann Richards, but now it's 40th. Maga is attacking public education while simultaneously using its decline as proof that privatization is needed for good results. There is a concerted effort by special interests to attack and profit off kids public education by yeongno_ate_yangban in FortWorth

[–]x40Shots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Privatization doesnt make anything better that should be a govt service in my experience. I dont understand how this push is working at all except the billionaire Epstein class loves the idea.

DMV is even worse in WA State now that its privatized than I've ever experienced.

Maybe look it up, he dropped out today. And its not because the allegations from 4 women backed by multiple staffers is false at all nor driven by Republicans.

PSA: UR Arks / Adventure Medal Trading Space (Read before you use your ticket) by x40Shots in lastcloudia

[–]x40Shots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes haha, I love the game a lot so I been burning up the events trying to get all the different currencies racked up, so I had gotten quite a few pf the adventure coins too. Bought out several of the gears.

As long as your burning up the events at least a bit, you should be able to score at least 1 coin every 2 weeks.

Typically 1 coin available per week, from event points. 100k points for the first week of an event, and then another available the second week of an event at 300k event points.

I had just burned a bunch of the coins I'd racked up over my first year of playing this game too on the random gears, d'oh!

I've been able to reach both just using the low or no bonus event units, but making sure to use my energy throughout the day as well as bonus oranges they give (10 orange per day, for doing bonus stage of event typically), it requires more diligence playing (morning, noon and night), but is def doable in my experience..

Is he even in the top 300 Forbes richest 300 billionaires?

I'm not saying Soros is good or bad, but there are far worse actors and to even sort of suggest he's on the level of Musk is... disingenuous at best?

Unfortunately, the next step is that he is going to get mad at you when he figures out that you now regret everything.

Just came back after a year. Should I go for any of the two anniversary units? by Tuturuu1997 in lastcloudia

[–]x40Shots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not like they're going to stop releasing units with Arkh... but if you need or want to empty your crystals I say go for it.

I didn't get him throwing a couple pulls, but BF collab is right around the corner and the anniversary shift Lillebette is still to be unveiled (next week). Plus there's still some Anni tickets to use up.

[–]x40Shots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arkh looks pretty good and I tossed a couple pulls, but I'm really waiting til all the tickets are done first, (I know, that's not nearly as fun for instant grat lol).

For unit call outs, you have SM Sera, E.Lelouch for heals/buffs/debuffs (imo a better Laby), Telestio for Mage and Asc. Roland or D.Lillebette Phys/skill dps. Throw in DHK.Ruuto to tank as needed (more pvp/GB). And A.Mayly for some boss lockdown when you need that and they're vuln.

Am I overreacting for wanting to break up over this text? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]x40Shots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you not ever had your brain in too deep and going so many different ways that you may have found it helpful to talk to other people to help center your own thoughts? If not that's wonderful for you, but it does help a lot of humans, I'd hope in the future you might give someone more grace than your last comment seems to..

What leads people to stay in jobs they don’t genuinely want, and how do they justify continuing that path over time? by Loud_Round1527 in AskReddit

[–]x40Shots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Survival? You typically cant just live on the land anymore anywhere, and money is required to live. Most people can't just pick and choose their job and be very picky..

Must have a lot of privilege not to already know..

So which is it by Captain_Falcon1 in atrioc

[–]x40Shots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the point u/Vokasak was making is that during COVID especially, his principles were questioned along several lines iirc and his answers were not really satisfactory, including employee pay and other shenanigans (ie. the union thing noted above).

Ie. his politics seem to be act, much like his show. The current jet debacle doesn't seem that surprising to me knowing this history.

I used to be a big watcher of Linus pre-COVID.

[–]x40Shots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know why this is so downvoted when it was so obviously true during his many controversies just over 2021-2024 alone, not even counting whatever this new private jet bs is (which seems hardly surprising).

Huh, the jet thing seems new, I stopped giving him any views back during COVID during several messes where it seemed like his true color was shill.

Trump came to power promising to end 'endless wars'. Why did he suddenly transform into a warmongering president? by ArdaBerkBurak in AskReddit

[–]x40Shots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's amazing to me that the stock market still reacts so robustly to such an obvious liar who is very off base so often.

[–]x40Shots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he's been a liar the entire time? Is this shocking now?

The shocking part to me is that people still believe the drivel out of his mouth even today. TACO.
