  • Hmm, I have no idea what the mayo/ketchup thing is. Looking it up on “know your meme” is basically just blank with a video that doesn’t exist anymore. Far as I can tell, they are individually both popular condiments in most countries, and using them together is even pretty popular in most countries still. So it must be some specific reference I just can’t find?








  • When I look back at what a Game boy game costed, and scale it up to today money(as much as $60cad, equivalent to $120cad in today money)… I feel so bad for my parents. I know they had a bit more spare money back then even being considered poor than what people have now. But it’s pretty crazy how much they costed. And our first family computer was over $3000cad in 1990, which would be more than $6000cad today.

    Despite how it feels, gaming is pretty cheap now. The prices may be close to the highest number they have ever been, they are not close to the highest cost they have been.



  • Umm… not sure you are aware that non-profits still pay their employees. Non-profit is a pretty common way of running a business. All it means is there is no incentive to make more money than is necessary for the companies needs. Any extra income is just re-invested in the company or donated to charity if un-needed.

    Basically just means there's no need to look for more ways to squeeze money out of the customers if they are already happy. And prioritizing usefulness rather than bloating the software is incentivised.
