Jill Biden is reading the Edith Wilson handbook.

I just take Marques for what he is - normie entertainment tech channel.
All marketing hype associated with Apple is always to be taken with a grain, nay, a shovel of salt.
I do love having to give a 2 paragraph disquisition of caveats about how I didn’t vote for either major party candidate in 2016 or 2020, before I can make literally any comment on either of these people or the current state of US politics, lest I be downvoted into oblivion or accused of being an evil Repub shill.
Ironically when we do this on Lemmy we are qualifying ourselves to a cohort of mostly people who didn’t vote at all, or aren’t even Americans.
You know it is pretty bad when a bunch of CNN commentators think he got smoked.
If you had done it with a sepia filter, this has “Cowboy Bebop outro” written all over it.
Don’t forget the tradeoff with all the emerging automatic breaking in cars. If your car is braking “faster than a human” can react or brake, that has cascading effects to every car behind you, which may or may not have the same features. Following distance at highway speed just became way more important.
There is still great music and it is still a great time to consume music. But Beato is right that trap beats, quantized drums, and autotune all suck ass.
Agree. Not every hobby and common trait is automatically a “community” nor should it be.
The tiny house community
The pickleball community
The eating ass community
etc.
He even went out of his way to compliment the ridiculous amount of work Howard put in, and his art etc. Dude should consider it a win to even get a red marked up paper back from an actual respected scientist. That in itself is a pretty cool achievement.
Everyone who works a white collar job for a medium or large company should have access to a 401k or some other investment vehicle but I understand that many can’t afford to fully utilize those benefits even if those benefits are available. The exec class gets richer as their portfolios gain value, as they tend to get compensatory stock. Everyone else takes an “L” to make that happen.
A rank-and-file accountant or developer can still set themselves up for retirement but they have to start early and be extremely aggressive.
I agree that with inflation, there are perverse incentives created. Most peoples jobs do not have any guarantee of annual raises, performance based or cost of living based. Effectively you are taking a pay cut each year due to inflation. This passively makes every company environment worse, because the only way to gain compensation is to jump ship to another job. Those who are capable and motivated will try to parlay every job into a better job within 6 months, and that makes it impossible to build up capabilities and culture. It effectively makes everyones job suck more, whether you stay or leave.
BOOT UP THE DOOR LOCKS
The “good” TP (Charmin ultra strong) is now 90 cents per roll, at bulk warehouse club prices. So that stuff is still pretty expensive and I don’t think it ever went down after the crisis.
Cocaine Mitch has largely stepped aside and John Boehner literally hasn’t been speaker since 2015.
Shouldn’t this thumbnail show Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuckles Schumer, or Nancy “totally valid investment strategies” Pelosi?
I noticed they now lock up boltcutters in a storage box at many hardware stores, because people had been grabbing them out of the tool aisle and using them to cut other security locks so they could shoplift other higher value items like high-end power tools. If you have a legit need to buy bolt cutters, you have to get a clerk to take them out for you, and they immediately walk you to the register and make sure you leave after purchase.
This summarizes it pretty well. Two things can be true at once. Reddit sucks ass and I haven’t gone back since the API changes. Simultaneously, the default Lemmy experience is extremely offputting to all but certain subcultures. Not everyone is a antiwork activist, Arch Linux evangelist, open socialist, or actively transitioning. Totally fine that all these groups have their communities, but it gets kinda old seeing 90% of the feed filled with these topics.
There were also “web rings” which basically amounted to crappy HTML snippets you put on your website, and you’d be in a linksharing ring with other sites of similar topic etc. It was supposed to drive traffic between the sites.
Circa this time there were 10,000 teenage kids with nearly identical Dragonball Z sites, hosted on GeoCities, Homestead, or other free services.
Still a better UI experience than Vista
Most expensive? Oh I dunno, Tony Gonzales just had to spend like $10m to barely beat a YouTube memelord by less than 1000 votes.
I do enjoy how both Asuka and Misato are posing like they have previous experience as car show booth babes. That tracks.
