I actually think about this. All those houses that are streets away from the beach are going to make so much more in the future because the beach will move.

Or Prince of Egypt which has one of the best soundtracks and great animation. I'm not a Christian but even I know about the damn plague that got those little Egyptian kids.

Amazon does not make any profit from their books. They are able to sell them cheaply because they sell them at a loss. They weren't even profitable for a long time and maintained thanks to investors. Basically, Bezos sold the idea of the future of his store's worth. And it worked.

It took me a while to figure out. Like I knew Southerners can be mean and judgy, but I didn't think about how until I traveled to other places and saw how much more straightforward people are. It's nice when kindness is kindness and there's no underlying meaning.

Growing up in the South is learning to be mean by way of looking nice.

Not really. They never wanted a large instance and didn't want to become a Reddit replacement. I see them more like a federated Tildes, honestly.

It's available in the UK as well. They don't follow EU privacy laws.

Same. 30s, healthcare, no linux. Not even tech savvy at all, but I can follow directions well enough.

Lexus cars. Every time some terrible driving is happening around me, it is one of them. I literally cannot count how many times I've almost been hit by one of them not stop at streetlights or stop signs or not slowing down for the pedestrian (me!) in the crosswalk. That commercial where the lexus driver drives over the man's papers just solidified what sort of asshole drives those cars.
