Reminds me that someone posted a 1950s "the future of travel" video, and it was all retro futuristic cars doing 200 mph on almost totally empty highways.

One major issue for Sledder here is that since Tesla started Cybertruck deliveries, the starting price for his vehicle has significantly fallen...That further lowers the starting price to $70,500.

My man found out the hard way about depreciation. All my life people have said never to buy a new car because it loses 20% of its value the moment you drive it off the lot. If you really want to drive new cars the best way to do it is lease and change every couple of years (this is still not financially sound, just better than buying new).

That is an effect, it also increases the relative value of debts which isn't great, but the negative impacts of those is less than the potential positive impact of reducing the relative cost of living. Really what you've got to focus on if you're a government trying to manage deflation is a) capital flight and b) wage reduction, because the biggest negatives are seen if investment gets pulled out of the economy and the positives aren't realized if people's wages don't stay the same.

Socialists of all types have been saying this for ages and explaining all the ways you could do it without succumbing to a deflationary spiral, but I'm sure libs will take this as evidence that Xi doesn't understand econ 101 and that he's ruining China.

my first thought was brainrot terminology, but after thinking about it for a bit I'm gonna go with "Gamergate" (level 3 please)

I never got to run this, but I remember after playing Prey putting together a dungeon themed off of mimics and getting really nasty with them. I imagined that after a couple rooms the players would adopt a policy of preemtively fireballing every new room before entering it.

I broke 1500 in Star Fox 64 once and I've never been able to do it since.

They call that the Peter Principle, and there's at least one Ig Nobel Prize winning study which found that it's better to randomly promote people rather than promote based on job performance.

My experience (USA) mirrors yours until high school, which is when we were allowed to just stand up and walk out when we needed to. Kids who abused the privilege were dealt with on a case by case basis.

Surprised I haven't heard Lisa! The humor is super dark so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but it's one of the best RPGs ever made.

Probably the floor of an airport. Everything was closed and the chairs weren't an option, so I just picked a spot on the floor and used my bag as a pillow for about six hours before I got woken up by the morning cleaning people.
