    This was the centrifuge through which they distilled the kids worth giving a shit about.

    Yes, I know centrifuges don’t distill. No, I will not be making any modifications. And, if you asked in your heart, you were probably the chaff spun aside by the Iron Dais of Judgment.

    Sure, in the broad, capitalist sense, you can’t blame the company.

    But, as just a collection of people, you can absolutely blame them. Saying that a company has no fault in deciding to use aggressive, manipulative methods to pull money out of people no matter what feels on the level of saying 'I couldn’t help myself, they should’ve stopped me from being terrible".


  • As the other guy said, lunch specials aren’t dynamic insofar as any pricing can be dynamic when the restaurant just changes prices willy-nilly. Which is what surge pricing is.

    Lunch specials are a separate, generally static part of the menu. Like how using a coupon isn’t considered dynamic pricing for the times when you have a coupon on you.

    I think that’s only because you had more time to accumulate 90s memoribilia. If they had siblings born earlier, they would have been born into 90s hand-me-downs, molded by it.

    I mean what parent would buy a tamagotchi when it was culturally relevant for a 3 year old unless they were swimming in cash. But they’d buy one for an 8 yo and the 3 yo would grow up with it.
