Went into the notes app on my old phone and was reminded of the time I saw the world cup playing on mute on a restaurant tv while the players were singing what I assume was their national anthem and I got obsessed with the idea of football teams having to sing a "football song" about how much they love the sport before each game

the thing about capitalism is that at a certain point a product reaches its maximum audience and cant really be improved (at least not while remaining profitable), but capitalism requires a product provide infinite growth, and at that point the only way to increase profits is to raise prices, cut corners, and in the case of services start adding advertisements. this is just how the system works.

Rent-seeking is the act of growing one's existing wealth by manipulating the social or political environment without creating new wealth.[1] Rent-seeking activities have negative effects on the rest of society. They result in reduced economic efficiency through misallocation of resources, reduced wealth creation, lost government revenue, heightened income inequality,[2][3] risk of growing political bribery, and potential national decline.

The actual economic term for this parasitic behavior is "Rent Seeking", as in "charging you rent for things that didn't used to cost money just because we can."

"The classic example of rent-seeking, according to Robert Shiller, is that of a property owner who installs a chain across a river that flows through their land and then hires a collector to charge passing boats a fee to lower the chain. There is nothing productive about the chain or the collector, nor do passing boats get anything in return. The owner has made no improvements to the river and is not adding value in any way, directly or indirectly, except for themselves. All they are doing is finding a way to obtain money from something that used to be free." obtain money links to the wikipedia article for Parasitism which might be the most brutal diss I've ever seen on wikipedia ever

LORD OF SCREENS DEEMED SEXY BY TUMBLR.

Callers, I'm going to be frank with you!

I have no clue what I am looking at!!!

Am I supposed to be the Lord of Screens?!?! It's a pretty nice title if I do say so myself!!! Although that line down the middle is a little- ahem-! ominous, if I do say so myself.....

A lot of people are ragging on the 'cable diverted to avoid Dobby's grave after Harry Potter fans raise a stink' thing and while I also love ragging on Harry Potter fans being weird, in this case it looks like the story was completely made up.

tl;dr: There's no evidence the interview that this was mentioned in even exists, no evidence the route of the cable has ever changed, and the whole story seems to originate from one dude's podcast.

The story also broke into mainstream via the Daily Mail, who are ... rarely if ever honest or accurate.

I went back to check because I'd remembered seeing reputable reporting on it and yeah, multiple trustworthy sources both domestic and international had reported it. Pure citogenesis. Great! Love that for journalism

did you hear they started drawing anthropomorphic animal people with human-like qualities, such as bipedalism, the capacity for speech, and even human breasts?
