It is tacky to leave the sticker on there with the lower price, but you are the one who paid 12£. How does it matter what they paid? If they search for books to resell at a profit, that’s time spent, risk taken, and money earned.
IKEA Family is a membership program, like grocery store memberships. The only real feature of the program was their 5% discount. But now, they are getting rid of it to focus on “New Lower Price offers”. I’m not holding my breath that their prices are going to come down anytime soon....
shrinkflation, also known as the grocery shrink ray, deflation, or package downsizing, is the process of items shrinking in size or quantity, or even sometimes reformulating or reducing quality, while their prices remain the same or increase.
I can’t see how furniture could ever qualify as shrinkflation, unless we’re counting something like the use of crappier materials.
“Coping” is all we can do. We’re too dispersed and divided to make protests much of an option. We’ve got militarized and trigger-happy police, so rioting isn’t much of an option. A large percentage of the population is living paycheck to paycheck, so strikes aren’t much of an option.
We’re screwed, but hey, the world is dying, so we won’t have to worry about it for long.
You see, this impacts them. Never mind that there’s no actual impact, they only want those among them who behave as expected. Also, he got excessive attention due to his attire, which gave him a bigger audience for his political views.
Can we just get some real public transportation options in the USA? I’ve visited Washington D.C., Boston, and New York City recently, and I’m in love with the subway (etc). Where I live would still require a car, but afaik, none of the major cities around me have anything more than a lackluster bus system.
Fred Rogers was an amazing person. I had my kids watch his show back when it was age-appropriate, and I loved seeing the love and joy that man inspired.
Incidentally, I find it funny that the seasons of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood are the most uploaded of the torrents I’m currently seeding. The next highest is Steve Irwin’s show. I guess pirates like wholesome things for their kids. Yarr!

Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
Eh, it scratches the itch. I don’t touch reddit anymore, outside of web searches. Still, I miss the niche communities that only a massive site like reddit can give life.
That’s a large part of why, with older games, I prefer to use emulators, even if they’re available to me in other ways. I love the “save state” option. It’s terribly exploitable, of course, but it sure is convenient to be able to save literally anywhere.
