That’s just wasteful man lol. I’ve played Diablo 2 on and off since its release. I’ve always played single player and kept my stashes throughout the years using ATMA. In all those years, thousands of hours, I’ve only managed to craft up to two Ber runes to make Infinity. One day I will get a Zod rune myself that wasn’t just sent to me because of my username.

These are awesome! I find it interesting how none of them have an actual rune symbol from Diablo 2 in it.

But profits are up so who cares right?

Fuck I hate capitalism.

I don’t use any social media except for Lemmy. It used to be only Reddit but jumped ship after the API changes. I’m enjoying Lemmy for the most part. Commenting is better because it gets more traction compared to Reddit. Unlike others I actually enjoy having all the varying opinions from “problem” instances. It makes it feel less like an echo chamber, which Reddit was bad for.

My only issue is because it’s so much smaller than Reddit, there isn’t as much content or niche communities. I miss some of the subs I used to frequent on Reddit. Some of them were made into communities here but barely have any activity, like one post per week. I guess at the end of the day it’s a good thing cause I spend less time on Lemmy than I used to on Reddit.

I am in a small Ontario town of 12,000 people. Covid caused many rich people from Toronto to come down here and buy up property so they could rent it. I was paying 1000$ for a 3 bedroom that was just built about 5 years ago. It was a nice place and a great price, owned by a guy my father in law works with. He never raised the rent since we moved in.

Some guy from Toronto shows up and buys the property. Instantly raises our rent to the maximum allowed limit. Then when we moved out last year, he listed the place for 2500$… Who the fuck can afford 2500$ rent in a small town that doesn’t even have a fucking movie theatre… Our biggest employers are a fucking warehouse and regional federal government office.

I don’t think this problem is specific to Montreal.

Why does it matter if cashier jobs evaporate. It’s a shit job and automation is getting rid of it. That’s a good thing. Also, what if I don’t mind taking 5 minutes to scan my items FOR FREE just so that I don’t have to talk to anyone or wait in line.

The only negative I see is that corporations are making even more money. We should take it from them and implement UBI to pay these cashier’s after their jobs evaporate.
