I’m 40 and our teacher explained why cursive was a thing in elementary school. I figured we were learning it so we could sign our name.

Take computers out of the picture. How long have we been using ballpoint pens? Cursive was obsolete even before computers took over how we write.

The only iPhone to be dropped and not get a cracked screen fell out of an airplane!

I dropped it for the Fediverse. I decided to use kbin after trying Lemmy for a bit.

Yes it is. Look at the eyes on the ducks. Also the guy’s hands and nose. Dead giveaways.

When I saw “otter attack” the first thing that came to mind is they must have been harrasing them or too close to babies. Something stupid, whatever it was.

Gitchi miigwech sa! Nizhigajibii’.

What this guy said. All the JPGs started as a proof of concept/example. That wasn’t the end goal!

This is not new or specific to online retailers. I worked in retail for almost a decade before gettinng out.

On most products that don’t have strict pricing guidelines from the manufacturer, prices can very wildly. Normal pricing would be a marked down price. When big sale would come, the tag price would go from the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) up to Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Those prices are set by the manufacturer. The price printed on tags is MSRP. It is full price and is usually marked up quite a lot. With high end brands, MSRP is usually a lot higher than what MAP is. With brands like The Northface it can be $100 or more.

When a retailer runs a “big sale” they often put everything back up to full MSRP then mark it back down whatever percentage off they are offering.

Sometimes I would wait for a product to go on sale so I could get my employee discount plus sale price. There were many times when a huge sale plus my discount ended up being the same price or more than what the every day price was.

These social media giants seem to be self destructing themselves on purpose.

So… is counterfeiting money generally considered illegal?
