Regulate the market? What are you, some kind of communist?

I mean, let's not pretend that everyone in that group thinks the same way about this issue.

Plus, we'd do better to stop equating people finding gender ideology to be incoherent with "intolerance."

[Music News] Beyoncé is selling $157 “listening only” tickets for her Renaissance tour. The seats are behind the stage, so you can’t see the concert, any of the set, or dancing. (finance.yahoo.com)

Summary: “Beyoncé is selling “listening only” tickets for her Renaissance tour. The seats are behind the stage, so you can’t see any of the set or dancing, but they only cost $157 compared to the ~$900 fans have been paying for regular US tickets.”...

I think there are a lot of people who need this reminder. People act like "the market" is some autonomous, intelligently acting entity that we're powerless to control. If demand and prices go up, well, nothing to be done! Humans are mere slaves to their own creation!

If Reddit moderators only removed content for the sake of keeping things on topic, people wouldn't hate the place so much. There's a reason the mods over there are so universally maligned, and it's not because they're beacons of rationality and objective reasoning.

More Baby Boomers are living alone. One reason why: ‘gray divorce’ (www.cnn.com)

The number of older Americans living alone is on the rise. Nearly 16 million people aged 65 and older in the US lived solo in 2022, three times as many who lived alone in that age group in the 1960s. And as Baby Boomers age, that number is expected to grow even more, raising big questions about the country’s future.

Heyck says she got divorced in her 50s after her son turned 18.

“It was really more of a working relationship than a full marriage,” she says, and Heyck was emotionally ready to be on her own.

But the financial transition, she says, wasn’t easy. For years, she struggled to make ends meet, living with roommates and couch-surfing as she waited for a spot to open in income-adjusted senior housing.

“I was an artist. I lived on the edge financially. I didn’t have a 401(k) … I always thought that I would be married. That was the big surprise,” she says.

How was it a "big surprise" when it's implied that she wanted the divorce to happen? You have an unstable job, divorce your spouse, and then go all surprised Pikachu when it occurs to you that your finances are unstable?

Get ready for the "let people enjoy things" brigade.

This I didn't know. So posting a comment on the microblog will make it visible to Mastodon as well?

Paying for her cab fare home sounds reasonably polite.

If the algorithmic overlords had self-awareness, they'd be laughing at us right now.

I'm going to assume that in the book, they actually accompany him?

Europe is becoming a US 'vassal', leading think tank warns (www.brusselstimes.com)

ECFR: with possible exception of France, whole of Europe “has almost completely renounced the idea of greater strategic autonomy.” “We are so vassalised that we can’t even admit to it. If we did, then people might figure it out and that would be terrible.”

I think they make a good point, regardless.

When not even the companies take these massive documents seriously, it's clear that we need to rethink how this all works.

Why is the image preview completely different than the image the link shows?

The whole "nuclear war is a public health risk, so medical journals are a great place to put this warning" does seem like a very strange and flimsy justification.

That's interesting to me. My layman intuition would assume it would go for much more.

I wonder how much it's worth.

Interesting. Is this better than the official Old School Runescape?
