Inflation is great to keep the stock market afloat. That’s about its only redeeming quality. The reason that most economists like inflation is the false premise that people will stop spending money if money starts increasing in value… but the vast majority of people are going to spend their money one way or another, cause they can’t just stop buying food or paying for rent… and they’re not going to skip out on what little fun they can have because it might be a little cheaper later.

Deflation is bad for the rich. Because it means their non-monetary assets are suddenly worth less.

Shal’kek nem’ron!

What’re you, European or something?

Wasn’t the part with him telling other people that set in the 80s or 90s?

Lots of those fan wikis just link to other websites. It’s entirely possible to do that.

If you’re on a Star Trek wiki, why would you want to go to a page that’s almost exclusively talking about Star Wars information in relation to some actor other?

Throwing shit at a wall would be a better alternative to the Fandom wiki site.

Quantity does not necessarily equate to quality.

Not having merit based on how much money something makes would be a start.

The opposite of what? That was their point.

The one referring to themselves as a player, in this situation, is usually screwing over the person they’re talking to.

If you consider the basic concept, they’ve been a thing since we started grouping together as communities. There have always been people who power trip. The internet just made them less effectual.

They also go down the hole faster once someone with looser ethics takes control.

It’s the paradox of the benevolent dictator, sure they can provide fantastic and quick service to their subjects… but as soon as the ruler is no longer benevolent, it’s just a dictatorship.

Bye felicia.

That’s the beauty of the fediverse, if the instance you’re on isn’t doing what you want, you can move to another one. Or create your own.

I’d say that’s a pretty clear indicator of the popularity of decisions. Saying “No, you can’t do that, cause I don’t want that” is putting your desires above the desires of others.

Then feel free to go to threads or somewhere that does federate with them. You don’t have to stay on a particular instance if they don’t federate with something you want to engage with.

That’s your freedom of choice.

So… admins aren’t free to choose? Why are you trying to take away admins freedom of choice? Sounds kind of authoritarian to me.

If you haven’t noticed them doing dirty or damaging things for the last twenty years, feel free to engage with them.

There’s more than enough evidence to show their intentions are far from pure.

I, too, am proud of my own ignorance.

I think it’d be great at identifying objects on sight.

Try the atkins diet sometime

We call that keto these days.
