But but there’s a person on the internet that might be wrong! *shakes fist at sky*

I wish more effort was put in to gamifying education courses.

Why would I buy a new phone that has less features…?

Because of all those time you need to take a picture of your feet underwater!

Netflix has games?

It was clear. I think the guy you’re replying to is the outlier for their interpretation.

I wonder if prices being 24.99 makes a difference here too.

That would mean that for each gift card where the full amount is not spent, the company keeps 0.01. That 0.01 is technically owed but it doesn’t prevent the company from earning interest on the unspent cash (I don’t think).

I think the answers to the question are generally isaying it isn’t as simple as ‘creatijg money out of nothing’. They may be creating money but that money is backed against assets which they do own.

because banks are government regulated and insured institutions, forced to back each loan with reserves, and regulated to have capital for each of those loans, they cannot really be said to make this private money out of nothing.

Hey, I simply said what I thought and expressed interest in what you thought. Not everyone here is trying to attack you.

I’m pretty sure banks don’t just make up money but I’d be interested in finding out why you think they do.

I just went on Reddit. I could down vote.

What gives?

I feel betrayed

Whilst this was a very entertaining read, you dropped your pedanticness (pedantry?) when you started calling Lemmy communities ‘subreddits’.

If we can’t call a tomato and cheese toasty a grilled cheese with tomato we definitely can’t call these communities subreddits! :D

As someone else said, it may be to see who’s likely to fall for more sinister scams, or a phishing scam to get people’s addresses etc

The aim of ‘chatting up’ seems different in a library :D

I think a VPN will then help with this.

I am way out of my depth with knowledge on android gaming devices, but I for some reason feel that powerhouse android devices would be capable of something much more advance than Pokémon. Am I just wrong on this assumption?

(Happy to be wrong here, I’m just kind of curious)

When they fly away they first fly up and backwards. So if you come at them from this angle you’ll hit them a lot more often.

I think under 30s may have experienced the recession. Maybe not first hand in terms of job loss but I imagine the quality of life impacts on children will have been felt.

:O

Does anyone else find memes with unintentional spelling mistakes annoying?

I mean, comments sure. Writers aren’t expecting a comment to be the main post. But in memes it seems like something you’d want to make sure you get right.
