But they aren’t even for sale in the US!

This has become common enough that it has gained it's own term: "ghost" postings/listings.

I'm super bummed about this. I absolutely loved slackmojis, it made it possible to find and add new emojis to Slack in sub 10 seconds.

Slack re-doing their UX back in 202X was the moment I realized they were past their peak. Virtually no one liked the new UI but they were too tone deaf to listen to users.

Really hoping some startup builds a spiritual successor and knocks them down a notch, because this cease and desist attacking their very own community to me reads as them being in the "milk the business for all it is worth" stage.

1. List item for $100 with a $20 off coupon

2. On Prime Day, drop the price to $80 and remove the coupon

When you look at said item in CamelCamelCamel, I'm pretty sure it shows the price dropping from $100 -> $80.

NVDA, MSFT, AAPL, META, and GOOG are all heavily investing in AI right now, and together make up 28% of the money tied up in S&P 500 indices. Simply investing in the S&P 500, which many people do, exposes you to meaningful downside risk of an AI bubble pop.

I wonder how much a 20-yr old Amazon account is worth on the grey market. Mine is about that old, and I have – legimately – returned thousands of dollars worth of goods (that were faulty or just didn't work the way I liked) and it is probably very difficult for Amazon to distinguish between my legitimate returns and a hypothetical alternative where I'm a fraudster that just purchased this old account and am laundering broken electronics through the returns system.

Agent X: The Unicode standard committee is now considering the addition of a seahorse emoji

Agent Y: Okay.

Agent X: ...

Agent Y: What?

Agent X: Don't you see, this only furthers my argument that [redacted] has escaped containment

Agent Y: Look, [name redacted], we've been over this. No matter how many more containment verification protocols we introduce, they always come up negative. There is no possible way [redacted] has escaped containment. And now you think this seahorse emoji... ahem, excuse me, now you think SCP-314 is incontrovertible proof?

Agent X: Did you look at the proposal?

Agent Y: sigh, yes I have it right here.

Agent X: The name at the top of the submission?

Agent Y: [pause] No. This can't be. But, how did it... how would it even know to use that name?

[transcription abruptly ends]

This concern is virtually unheard of today, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they actually had a slight effect in the opposite direction: some of those youth getting trouble outside are now indoors playing harmless video games.

No they don't. It can also be that neither the government nor private parties give.

Making it an either/or often makes space for the individual to make excuses for why they don't share because out there somewhere there exists some government program that vaguely looks like charity.

Beware that you don't fall into the trap of thinking the 1% of the population that makes 90% of the noise on the internet is "significant" or a representative sampling of the population. Most everyone else's views are quite boring and detached from extremism, they just don't shout their moderation on the rooftops.
