  So what is the next step for Google? Raising YT TV to $100/month? $200/month? Raising Youtube Premium to $30/month? Google one to $200/month? Laying off employees?

  I mean they gotta keep hitting that 5% growth every year, right? When does it stop? When there’s nobody else at the company? When people can’t afford anything anymore and go bankrupt?

  When are companies gonna understand that growth for the sake of growth every year is just not feasable?

  This reminds me what I did in Best Buy once. They have (or had?) A return/exchange policy of 2 weeks, so I went to get a huge TV, but I was not sure if I really wanted it.

  So I bought a Samsung 75" Smart TV, two weeks later, said I didn’t like it, exchanged it for an LG, 2 weeks later, said the same thing, exchanged it for a Vizio, and so on.

  I ended up temporarily owning like 5-6 different smart TVs within a little over 3 months until I decided I no longer wanted it and returned it.

  Did the same thing with headsets with 7 different pairs until I got the Sony XM3. US return/exchange policies go hard simetimes.

  When do you guys think they (companies/rich people/shareholders(?)) will realize that growth for the sake of growth is not viable and there will be a point of stagnation? Like… What are they gonna do, keep raising prices until nobody can b uy anything anymore?

  Oof I’ve had an experience with these meds…

  I used to take Humira for 5 years but my country stopped delivering it (I used to live in Venezuela), then I moved ti the US and started Humira again, but it was about 30-50% effective only, I still had a lot of pain

  I then went through Cosentyx and Taltz, none worked. Then I tried Enbrel, same effectiveness, got it through a foundation. Healthcare didn’t want to cover it and the foundation didn’t approve me if I had Healthcare.

  Got sick in the US, lost all my money (due to lack of money), so I spent the little I had saved to return to my country, moved to Brazil and I’m about to start Golimumab (Simponi) tomorrow, hopefully it works because I haven’t gotten medication in 2 months and the pain feels unbearable.

  Having said all this, if there is a speck of a chance that this helps people with AS and other similar conditions, it would make me happy. Having this kind of pain is unbearable.

  Sorry for the long comment, I suddenly wanted to rant about this!

  Hope it’s not a stupid question but would this kind of thing work for ankylosing spondylitis??

  I ask because I suffer from AS the doctor’s that I’ve gone to are always arguing whether it’s an autoimmune or an autoinflammatory disease, and on the web it says that the underlying mechanism is either of the two as well.

  So it’s not clear to me whether it’s one or the other, or if itimplies the same thing. I’ve read a huge deal about AS but I’m not really good at biology or medicine to understand a lot.

  Honestly the only reason I’m commenting -and asking- here, is because I want to have hope that this actually leads up to something that can help me stop this fucking pain that makes me feel like I want to die (figuratively) but I’m afraid of this being a clickbait article.

  Also my English is not the best so sorry for any mistakes and for the long comment.

  I want to add that you can enter the cargo hold by going to the Menu (Tab on PC), then click on lower left where your ship is and see the cargo hold (F on PC)

  You can also move things from the cargo hold to your inventory even if you’re outside of your ship, I don’t remember if you can do so the other way around.

  Isn’t this ok? I’m not saying it’s better… just OK?

  I don’t know if this is just me but why is there always a race to be the “most popular/larger platform”?

  Isn’t this kind of race to be the most popular the reason why a lot of platforms/companies/jobs/games/etc are suffering today? Growth for the sake of growth and forcing something to be more popular just because it needs to be more popular is just kind of sad.

  It’s not like “corporate fediverse/lemmy” needs more users… At least this is my opinion.

  You lose it and never hear from it again. Happened to me, had to open another account in another instance because of that, it’s a shame but I guess that’s the risk until we get something that is some kind of Backup->Restore->Move account or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone know what this is?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of when I got a new PC when I was younger and I was shocked… “WHAT?! THEY COME WITH 128MB RAM NOW!!! AND THEY HAVE A DVD TRAY??? No more floppy disks!!!”

  Fuck, those were nice times (except for dial-up internet).
