Right, the proper term is sedition.

Okay but fuck those stores where the self checkout “bagging area” is smaller than the size of a hand cart. Like what fucking idiot designed those.

Rumors are he allegedly sucked even back when he still worked at Boeing.

Am I misreading this or are you doubling down on not getting it’s satire?

Some places do pool a percentage of tips and pay them out to the kitchen and/or bar. Usually kitchen is paid more than waitstaff, and waitstaff is also likely to be cut if it’s slow, so may get less hours. Some states allow employers to pay tip based workers below minimum wage.

Again I’m not saying supply isn’t an issue, and zoning is def a major problem in many states. But if the issue was only supply, rent would be growing more or less in line with the population not at the astronomical rate that it is.

I get that argument and I think there’s some merit to it since like you said this whole thing is muddled. But the counter point is often those vacated units are in another town or city. So in the way overly simplified scenario, if 36 “programmers” move to the city, the vacated units through out the country don’t help the “bus drivers” who are tied to the area.

Again we largely agree, I just wanted to illustrate even the simple assumptions like building more is good isn’t always that straight forward in this fucked up system.

This is kinda like saying we need more farms to solve hunger.

The cost of housing is very detached from supply. For rentals, companies bought up housing and just jacked up the price, because renters are a semi captive client base.

New construction sometimes doesn’t even help, when developers knocks down an old affordable 12 unit apartment building and build a luxury 36 unit building, you’ve created -12 units of affordable housing.

Even for home buyers, they’re facing a major up hill battle going against existing home owners who have access to the capital of their current homes, and even worse corporate home buyers.

This isn’t to say supply isn’t an issue and we can ignore it, but we need to stop housing from just being an investment vehicle. Otherwise we’re just going to get garbage housing at prices no one can afford.

At this juncture I’d much rather the occasional repost on Lemmy than deal with three day old content. Please keep up the posting.

Skeptical. Apple reversed course and now supports the CA right to repair bill. Cynical me assumes it because making phones repairable is probably more prohibitive for their competitors than it is Apple.

Stickers are dumb but fun. Autocorrect is a lot better for me, but still early. It now finally fucking recognizes that I’m trying to type the indefinite article ‘a’ instead of randomly dropping a ‘s’ before words. And it no longer is obsessed with ducks. Not sure if the thing where it makes two words out of one and removes the ability to undo is gone.

It varies from company to company, but when infinite growth becomes unrealistic they get desperate for new revenue and start doing shitty nickel and dime tactics.

More specifically for Reddit thoughts are they realized that these new AI tools had already pilfered all of “their” content and they did not see a cent from it and responded wildly.

I didn’t quit smoking because people shamed me, I did it because the risks were clearly defined and didn’t like the negative effects on my health.

No qualified medical or public health policy professional is like “yo let’s villainize fat people”. It’s dumb idea just to make people feel better about being assholes to folks struggling.

It’s since the elections are state run, so there’s no central db. Once you register though your electoral experience is a state by state crapshoot.

Some will make you stand in line for hours forcing you to miss work, others do mail-in ballots with early voting which is kind of awesome.

Probably wanted exempted (or is the exception).

I will absolutely not use Twitter so I’ve tried to give threads a chance but yeah it’s worthless. How can you still not search for topics and stuff on there??

Jack Dorsey’s Twitter alternative.

Like it was basically just digital gold… which is also a terrible currency in physical form.

Nobody tells you making friends is hard.

The seattle freeze??? It’s like a major major trope, usually one of the first things people warn you about when moving to seattle.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind a good Apple bash for time to time, just saying this feels like Reddit of old. But yeah their fucking silicone is fucking crazy, who would’ve imagined a decade ago being like I prefer Apple for the hardware.
