They can be. I bought a Galaxy s22 with a broken screen for $150, and my carrier just gave me an $1100 credit for it on a new iphone. I don't need an iPhone, and I will be selling it to get yet another cheap phone and pocketing the money, but it goes to show just how much phones do not cost to the people producing them

What's the historical reason it wasn't included in one of the other states?

When Texas sought to enter the Union in 1845 as a slave state, federal law in the United States, based on the Missouri Compromise, prohibited slavery north of 36°30' parallel north. Under the Compromise of 1850, Texas surrendered its lands north of 36°30' latitude.

Marge scares me. She looks neolithic. Boob is just a dumb parrot doing what she's told by her handlers, but Marge appears to believe what she's spewing.

Didn't Marge have an affair with her workout trainer? If that's true we know for a fact she works out. Boob looks like if she works out at all, it's purely cardio

If I originally downloaded and installed from GitHub, do I need to install the Google Play instance for Thunder to automatically update?

Bobby, some things are like a tire fire, trying to put it out only makes it worse. You just gotta grab a beer and let it burn.

Money buys free time and luxuries. Just not having to worry about rent or a car payment or whatever you've got going on, is a quality of life improvement. Money absolutely does buy happiness for the lower class.

Imo the lack of money flowing to the lower rungs of the societal ladder is why we've seen a trend upward in depression and suicide. "When it's all hopeless, why stick around?"

I've never posted beyond comments, but I have read it is possible to change the title of a post on Lemmy. I also know for a fact that mods can and do edit your posts if you say something they don't like. That means we have to keep a close eye on our own post history to ensure we aren't having our posts edited by a malicious party to say things we never said.

I sold my accounts after I deleted 99% of my comments manually. Got $1400 for 3 accounts that were 10+ years old with 20,000 or so karma. Even lurker accounts are worth money if they're old enough

Perhaps not Mexico specifically, but N+S American trade was bound to increase dramatically once China started making demands on the US. China's play with Cuba will be met with even more push to stop buying Chinese goods. China is a manufacturing powerhouse, but S and Central American land and labor is cheaper.

We'll just have to wait and see in about 15 years
