Justice served. This was probably one of those deadbeat renters that wasn’t even tipping their landlord.

Stubbornly high US inflation grew stronger than expected in March , vaulting to a 3.5% increase from last year in c/politics@lemmy.world

“High corporate profits are a main driver of ongoing inflation, and companies continue to keep prices high even as their inflationary costs drop.”

It’s a misnomer to call this “inflation” — it’s corporate collusion-driven price gouging.

Have only played two players so far. Even then, there was a lot of downtime, especially when you get to the third and fourth rounds.

Wyrmspan - First Impressions (lemm.ee)
 

It’s a fun, more complex, dragon-themed game built on the foundations of Wingspan — familiar, but very different.

It’s a lot of fun seeing the victory point-generating system you’ve built kick into gear, though once you start chaining things together turns can take forever. This, unfortunately, kind of sucks for the non-active player(s), as there’s nothing to do but sit and wait between turns.

Playing this game with four players must take forever.

The artwork on some of the Terraforming Mars cards already has a janky, AI-generated look, frankly.

Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new 'total price' of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleading in c/technology@lemmy.world

I have never encountered hotel rooms that are cheaper than the comparable local Airbnb offerings (at least in Canada and US). Where are these cheaper hotel rooms?

And why isn’t driving like Cars and Trucks and Things That Go? Where’s Goldbug to make all my trips a fun search?
