my guess would be that those loyal customers are the least likely to leave, so u can squeeze as much as u like out of them.

new customers u wanna attract more of, so treat them better and they will come to u.

those who leave and come back for the discount are probably not a meaningful enough size for a company to even think about.

Or even worst, the elderly?

id say this is definitely an effect of this behaviour, but i doubt its intentional. a company doesnt care abt anything but profits, so they dont care abt the impact of their actions beyond that

Yes, this absolutely. This kind of research in a changing world like ours is really important right now. Major respect to her for that

easy mistake to make, both weigh about the same

nice lifehack

knowing samsung they prolly force retailers to have at least one of these things on display if u wanna sell samsung products

text-only backup is apparently capped at 100MiB, which should be more than plenty. it didnt say but id assume media is also similarly capped

this is big for iOS signal users, who havent had any backup solution at all yet

dont forget the rich family!

shorthand for people. im lazy

clippy is now a right-to-repair icon. the idea is that if lots of ppl change their YT profile pic to clippy, people in power will feel threatened and cave in. or maybe corporations will see theres a market there and make repairable devices.

if u rely on GMS so much, have u tried replacing it with microG?

wet and in my mouth?

interesting u should say that. theres actually this political system that someone used complex systems analysis to create in an adaptable, yet stable way. very much like the evolutionary process.

if ur interested, its this series, particularly part 2:

a condescending dipshit. really shows that many accusations are just confessions.

im sorry to hear that after all of this u continue to claim the state is an extension of its people, and continue to mix representation and delegation. or for that matter, the myth of the state abolishing itself, which has no basis in reality.

ill give up on explaining this to u now. just one small thing: its spelled Bismarck, not Bismark.

yes, well, if u had watched it, u wouldve noticed its not about the anarchist critique.

its been quite fast for a while now. i often get around 3-4 MB/s (24-32Mbps) downloading files.

ok this gotta be my last response bc i got better shit to do today.

so first off, i simply dont care what the marxist definition or critique of something is, so yes, please understand it as just the general anarchist critique.

Unless your point is that the delegate can only do what 100% of those who elected them want,

well yes, if they want to stay a delegate they have to comply with the mandate they were given. i also understand that there may be practical considerations that lead ppl to choose weak (e.g. 95%) consensus decisions, and u can call that hierarchical if u like, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt strive to abolish all hierarchies.

the way u have described the PRC does not sound like they have delegates, rather representatives. ive already explained the difference.

as for considering the PRC state capitalist, this is my conception (altho i know a few marxists who agree), and so far ive only argued about the ownership situation and not touched upon wealth accumulation or markets at all, but i think ive still made a fair argument.
