Right on, thanks for the info!

Oh damn. Was coolroms part of that too? I’ve used emuparadise and coolroms a bunch over the years. Kinda makes me want to stock up just in case

I’m OOTL, which ROM sites got shut down?

ineffective altruism checking in! =P

Hell yea. I got these saved for later!

I feel like you’ll probably really enjoy Charlie Parr as well, if you don’t already know him

I really enjoyed that, thank you

It really seems like my grocery store (a Kroger brand) has been doing this for a bit now.

Prices on certain things vary wildly depending on the time of the month or the day of the week. Plus, with their bullshit, incessant push for everyone to use their app and online ordering, it seems like this will be much more common moving forward.

Thanks for the work you do

lemmyverse.net is also a great tool to find communities and instances

I think you may find yourself in good company on this instance… Or maybe I forgot my meds too…

What do we want!?

gradual change

When do we want it!?

in due time…

I see what you’re saying… But, you don’t start your negotiation by asking for incremental change. To continue on your analogy, the anti-abortion activists have been demanding a full stop to it up-front since they started…

Change may sometimes only happen incrementally, but nothing worthwhile will happen if that’s all that’s asked for.

I think you’re missing my point.

Middlemen merchants and international shipping are things that regular folk have absolutely no control over. And if those things go away, whether that be due to a pandemic or a CEO deciding it’s just not profitable, those who rely entirely on that are fucked.

Having at least a bit of knowledge on how to sustain yourself, even if it’s not a 100% self-reliant, will only be a net positive

I definitely enjoy learning to fix electronics and appliances things on my own, and I enjoy designing and 3d printing helpful parts.

That’s great! You’re already cutting out middlemen and the necessity of shipping things across the globe.

But I have no urge to learn how to grow my own food or make a house or furniture etc.

And that’s ok too. But the more you learn in those regards, the better. It cuts out that reliance on middlemen and international shipping.

I don’t see a feasible situation where that would be helpful.

I mean… Were you not affected in at least some way during Covid? That first year of lockdowns and massive shipping delays was eye-opening for lots of people. It’s hard to imagine that you can’t see at least some benefit to these ideas.

Whether or not you believe that self-reliance is feasible, there’s nothing stopping you from learning to do more things yourself.

Failing to do so only works to solidify the status quo.
