Shame Boy posted:I tried to find it just now and I'm actually really happy that the first pro-price-gouging articles aren't until at least the second page of google results regardless of what I search for, the entire first page is news stories about how bullshit price gouging is and how much it's been reported. Even if I call it "supply and demand" it's still page 2 before articles from fuckin' Mises show up. The fact that they certainly get massive amounts of grift money from this that I'll never see (because I don't vomit garbage econ 101 like some kind of profundity) is a special kind of infuriating.

Shipon posted:everyone who isn't on the MAGA train at this point has this ambient "white men are the source of all problems in society" and it can be alienating for white men who haven't won the class lottery who feel left behind. any time you point this out people will just go "oh you're just crying because other people are equal to you now". woke capitalism loves it because they can deflect the class issue entirely and it really doesn't matter what ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation is at the helm of capitalism. and these types of liberals who overwhelmingly support the oppressive system of capitalism are only "left" in america's insane propaganda system that wants to keep the conversation away from getting rid of capitalism

That reminded me of another flash game that is about surviving while poor called Spent: http://playspent.org/html/ I managed to survive the month but I had to shoot my dog, neglect my kid, opt out of health insurance and work until I almost killed myself. So what's your excuse poors?

I lasted 19 days on my first try. Always show up on time, with the very occasional early or late. Could have probably lasted longer but I clicked the wrong button.

I hit "exit" when the game first loaded instead of "look for a job" and it dropped me to a screen that said I had $1000 and no other choices so I guess I won.

When this game first came out if you chose the office temp build it made you take a typing test that measures your speed and accuracy and it was based on a real testing software used for these types of jobs and so many people failed they took it out and now you can just pick the easiest class and it's still hard as gently caress and you need to be lucky just to survive the month.

Turns out it's the first result for "uber game"  And it was the Financial Times, weirdly enough: https://ig.ft.com/uber-game/ e: Not sure where those comments were though, maybe twitter?

etalian posted:Yeah jeans were originally created a robust work pants during the US gold rush. Those jeans back then were something very unlike most jeans today. Even if you ignore the whole super skinny fit stonewashed acid burned ripped distressed crap, modern denim fabric usually has some amount of elastane in it, for comfort. Even ordinary straight cut jeans will have 1-2% elastane, and some have 4-5% or more. Generally we also use lighter weight fabric today. You can still get "raw denim" jeans, which means they're starched and unsanforized, not washed or treated in any way. So they're stiff as a board when you get them, they shrink a lot the first time you wash them and they bleed absolutely crazy amounts of color until they've been washed a couple of times. They'll also last for decades. And those are usually still a lighter weight fabric than the original miner work pants. KozmoNaut has issued a correction as of 19:53 on Feb 2, 2020 |
