a nice 140 usd discount sounds like a decent incentive

For the number folks:

The most respondents cited high inflation (54%), Social Security not providing as much financial support as they need (43%), and high taxes (43%). Boomers (61%) were more likely than millennials (56%) or Gen Xers (55%) to say high inflation contributed to their fear of running out of money.

But this fear is more prominent among Gen Xers (70%) who are in their 40s and 50s and fast approaching retirement and millennials (66%) than boomers (61%) who are over 60 and many have already retired.

Asian/Asian American respondents (34%) were more likely to have discussed this fear than white (22%), Black/African American (28%), and Hispanic (25%) respondents.

Interestingly no mention of Gen Z, who I guess is just starting their careers so might be why?

Though I’d imagine the doom and gloom is just as high for Gen Z if not more.

Insecurity exacerbated by the rise of social media. It’s really easy for impressionable teens (not just them, but they are the most vulnerable group) to be affected directly by the consequences of social media. Toxic masculinity allows them to fall into the andrew tate trap because it tells them that this is the easy solution to the insecurities they face. I’d argue covid also made this problem worse as well

I carry cash in small amounts because some restaurants prefer cash to avoid the credit card fee

Ah but with the dollar tumbling, US companies will raise prices for the rest of us peasants to make sure profits are never harmed

Hahaha I’ll never own a house lmao

If he is found guilty does not mean he is guilty. That’s the problem with the death penalty. You can release someone if future evidence disproves the conviction. You can’t bring someone back to life if you give them the death penalty.

I dunno about cheaper tbh…

Working there right now. I was originally going to work in cali but due to circumstances ended up here instead… Same company, different team, 30% pay cut pretax.

No state tax, but sales tax is 10+%, and groceries here are slightly higher than cali. Rent and utilities are the exact same as when I was in LA. A 1bd goes for 1300 for a shitty studio with only 200sqft, no stovetop + only a minifridge. The next jump is an actual 1bd but at 1.6k. I got lucky and found a 2bd for 2.5k which im splitting with a roommate, but that’s not normally the case.

I looked at house prices and they’re at 1.2m for most. Which is the same average prices I seen for both norcal and socal.

Depends on how they want to implement it. I’d be fine with just separating nsfl (content warning/gore) and nsfw (18+ topics) because those are inherently not comparable even though both are not appropriate for work

They can cater to better labelling, but clarifying the two would be a solid step

Imo nsfw is a bad tag and should be separated to at least viewer discretion (nsfl) and porn. I’d probably add a tag on offensive humor too, since I don’t think my workplace would appreciate things like guillotines or 2meirl4meirl, but that is less useful than the other two

The fake leak about pausing tariffs earlier the past few days was the test to see how much money can be moved with one announcement

Not market manipulation, he tweeted in the morning that it’s a good time to buy, we should’ve just trusted the orange man /s

Maybe

I get mild frostbite super fast though because my circulation to my fingers are nonexistent

I also unfortunately live in the lands of cars, in the part of the washington where theres no real bike lane and I have to share the road with cars

I dont know about afford, surely there’s some idiot who took out a loan for this

Unfortunately I live where its cold and raining 99% of the time. They are trying to build a line from where i live to where I work though so it might be bearable to bike the distance to the station in the rain

Born to go field study and research nature, forced to be a cog for increasing shareholder value

I mean debtor prisons are basically just involuntary prison labor, which the US already has. Not really a leap, considering you can get arrested for legitimately anything.

Look at youtube for guides on customizing your mouse

You’d prob want to sand the mouse to let the primer adhere better, and go with small coats.

A outer protective coat after would prob work wonders since your finger oils will mess up raw paint fast

Disassembly is actually really easy for mouses so you can spray paint pieces individually, or at least just the shell

The change is that companies will use this to commence the massive layoffs once again citing hard financial times but still pay the execs the same big bucks

Win win situation is if the west coast breaks off from the rest of the US. We’d finally be free from idiocracy. The red side of the US didn’t want us anyways

30% seems pretty generous. Nevermind the complete collapse of trade and alliances we built over the past century, won’t countries stop using the us dollar as the backing reserve? Which will likely set america on an even further downward trend, especially since the dollar isn’t on the gold standard anymore?
