The PS3 was $600USD back in Nov 2006. That's the equivalent of $972USD in 2026.

You could say, Sony is going 20 years into the past for pricing.

I swear, California has so many laws and controls, it's a wonder why anyone does business there, let alone lives there.

The generation that was enslaved to a Broadcast over-the-air TV turned to Cable for "edgier", less FCC-moderated content and hundreds more channels.

Then that generation got enslaved by greedy cable prices, especially as things went exclusive like NFL Football on select days and adding 1 channel to watch a hit series was about a quarter of the cost of cable.

People turned to streaming because it was cheaper and in many cases, free. People also rediscovered broadcast over-the-air TV. The pandemic helped with this.

Now that people are already moving on from rising streaming prices and looking for alternatives, Cable is now a relic of the 00's. The generation that loved it has either moved on or died off. I hope the suits that raised prices have their Golden Parachutes ready if they haven't used them already..

Longtime Windows users have enjoyed the simplicity of built-in apps like Notepad and Paintbrush.

Stuffing new things into them to make them something else (such as a Wordpad replacement) makes them lose their charm and introduces new headaches.

You would think at this point, Microsoft could just offer MS Word for free with every Windows activation.

College Is Expensive
College is more expensive than ever, leaving graduates living a life of virtual indentured servitude until their 30s or 40s when they might be trying to raise families.

Degrees with no Jobs
There are plenty of degrees being offered that have no actual real job market, some students spend all that money on a degree and don't even have that "high paying" job to go to, because they wasted their time.

Many people are starting to see the value in learning a practical trade and being able to go out in the world and make money sooner and with much less student debt, if any. The world needs electricians, plumbers, and welders, not Gender Studies, Philosophers, and "University Studies" graduates.

Falling Birthrate
Lastly, there is a lot of infertility happening causing the birth rate to drop, as well as people not being able to afford kids (student loans ironically being possibly part of that problem), or have beliefs that they should sterilize themselves.

I still hope NASA can send some version of the "Europa Clipper" that one congressman keeps pushing for.

Apart from the Voyagers, Cassini, and New Horizons, we should explore the moons of the Gas Giant planets and see what's on them.

Just a reminder that the Jew Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father helped to found Israel, was a powermod on Reddit who had the power to censor /news, /worldnews, /politics and a few others.

The real party is on X, if you're not there you're missing out.

Remember when Digg chimped out and everyone left to join Reddit?

That moment passed some years ago. Now Reddit mods have been caught red-handed luring children to their houses to inject them with SUPER GIRL JUICE aka trans hormones. Without parental knowledge or consent, kind of like how California public schools do.

Is Al Gore a scientist?

Nope. STFU nerd

acetaldehyde is a Class A carcinogen, which means it does nothing but mutate cells.

If you drink, support ALDH enzyme activity. The enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) converts acetaldehyde into harmless acetate. Nutrients help your liver metabolize the harmful alcohol. Vitamin B1. Alcohol depletes thiamine, which supports liver function. Take a B-complex vitamin before drinking.

Zinc and Magnesium: These minerals support ALDH activity. Eat zinc-rich foods (e.g., oysters, nuts) or take 15-30 mg zinc, 200-400 mg magnesium.

The science and research that couldn't tell us what a woman is?

The one that prescribed chemical castration drugs to little boys?The science that performed elective cosmetic pediatric double mastectomies on healthy girls?

It also couldn't identify that covid came from a lab, despite the fact it contains genetic sequences not found in nature.

That science and research?

Besides, the planet is overpopulated, especially by high-consumption AmeriKKKans, especially racist white males. How is having fewer of them a bad thing?

In the last invasion of Russia, this happened too. Hydraulic fluid became thick and caused engines to seize up, tank treads were thin instead of wide and got bogged down in snow and especially mud. We had to light fires under our dive bomber engines to heat them up to even get them to start.

And to top it all off, our leaders didn't even equip our armies with winter coats, thinking that we'd take Moscow before summer was over. That turned into a disaster, Russia seized half of Europe and America had to fight a Cold War to get it back and make sure the loans our banks had extended would be repaid.

America was never great. The US you're talking about was the one with Jim Crow, KKK, lynchings and what Trump is inflicting on us again with ICE.

Who asked you if you care? Texas isn't the rest of the planet. Well bless your heart, why don't you fuck all the way off, the door is right there, don't let it hit you on the ass on the way out!

This is from now on the stock response to "I don't live in the US but I think..."

Fuck off we don't care.

Slashdot is an AmeriKKKan site, that's why you can speak freely. If it were an Australian site you wouldn't be able to say "globalize the intafada."

Try that on any of your country's sites. I dare you. I double dare you.

AmeriKKKan freedom doesn't come from any government. It comes from God. The Constitution merely states that the government may not infringe on this God-given right.

What you have isn't freedom. It's loose handcuffs. I suggest China instead of Japan, it will be good when you become a province later this century.

After all, you told the AmeriKKKans to fuck right off with their Navy ships and disbanded your air force as a useless expense. Zai Jian!

Good! Stay out! We don't want you. AmeriKKKa is closed tell all your friends not to come, too. We suck and hate freedom.

Your freedom of speech to shit on AMeriKKKa was brought to you by the Constitution in and the First Amendment. In Australia people can't even speak out against Jews without being arrested. Good example you set.
