Good comedy can punch up, but very rarely works when punching down. Punching down is generally just bullying in disguise.

If an app gives me more than a couple of unwanted notifications that I can't easily disable, it's uninstalled. Fuck that shit.

What Ticketmaster Doesn't Want You To Know: Concerts Were Cheap For Decades by cpw in c/videos@lemmy.world

I paid £22.50 for my Knebworth ticket to see Oasis in 1996. Beer was expensive but the lines were so long that two or three was all that was feasible. Instead I got stoned off my face and zoned out on a little hill behind the vip area. It was amazing but I was so smashed that my memory is fuzzy. Ah well. My sister just paid over £1000 for four tickets to oasis. I think I got a rather better deal than her.

Explaining the inflation rate by cpw in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

[-] cpw@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 months ago

Price decreases are actually negative inflation and have all sorts of whacked out effects on an economy. It was a concern during COVID due to the huge drop in consumer spending forcing some prices to start to decrease.

Where are the old (30s) granpa gamers? by cpw in c/memes@lemmy.world

[-] cpw@lemmy.ca 44 points 3 months ago

30s are rookie numbers. I'm 52 and still game regularly. I started out playing pong clones in about 1975 hooked up to my tv. I played a lot of zx spectrum games in the 80s, failed my degree in the early 90s because I spent far far far too long playing civ1 on my Amiga. Etc etc.

The mkbhd first impressions were fascinating for what he didn't say. I'm guessing that he didn't want to burn the good times he has with Tesla so he really seemed to be trying to positively spin everything. At least, that's my interpretation. The mirrors were particularly.. https://youtu.be/XxOh12Uhg08?si=jlfuFU70v5cGd8HV

Debian guy could have just downloaded the nonfree installer that includes some common wifi and other hardware firmwares. There are some pragmatists at Debian.

What happened to the flat earthers who demonstrated that the earth is round in the netfilx documentary ? by cpw in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Going to suggest the folding ideas YouTube channel on the same topic.

Spoiler: his hypothesis, well supported in my opinion, is that a large proportion of those formerly in flat earth are now neck deep in qanon, and since the film was made many are now into other conspiracy stuff. The election was fake etc.

Also, his video of minnewanka lake is just perfect flat earth debunking.
