I would like to see more rpg discussion, I like that the !rpg@ttrpg.network doesn't end-up an D&D community like in the alien website, but I would love to see more than one discussion thread per week.
Actually, how does contested debts work with the US credit system ?
People do genuine mistake which may be settled quickly sometimes even without needing to escalate far, but there is also bad faith companies/landlord which charge abusive fee, and would try to go to collections while your still contesting.
For legal questions you need to specify jurisdiction the answer may depend vastly.
Typically, you may have a notice period to do when leaving and the lease would renew automatically if nobody denounce it.
But again detail would depend on your specif jurisdiction, if not done yet, join your local tenant union
I know that in the french alps we can reach the mountain police through VHF if needed, and that during heli-rescue they give a call on the free-flight frequency to let paraglider know that they are coming. but I am pretty sure that they have their own network too, and that VHF is a way to call them when you have no mobile phone coverage
It's been decade that economy has been shit for real people with crisis starting before the previous one finished, high unemployment, stagnating wages, expensive real estate and more
If you're rich enough to be impacted by stock market collapsing you're already way above average.
Sure it's not making things better, and not the moment to change job, but it's been shit for a while and will stay shitty. The era when boomer could find a job without any degree, get a living wage with yearly raise and promotions is over.
Can we avoid using the reciprocal word where it's mostly an uniltaeral decision from US ?
I bet that the only US jobs that will be created on the short term will be to re-inforce the purchasing department of US companies importing foreign group, and the US-logistic department of foreign companies exporting in the US. But in between, I see why many corporation will push the brake on any non urgent purchasing. (And Ironically, business school graduates aren't a category massively impacted by unemployement nor fearing to be replaced by LLM)
Things get messy when the GM forgot about that minor NPC like I'm going to see Elia ? Who ? but Elia, the fixer we saved from the Corpo guard, she said we'll always be welcome
GM pro tip, let the player come with the plot, they'll be so impress by the complex plot you came out with and so proud to have found-it, while actually you just said yes to their ideas
As a rule of thumb, if you think you need to see a doctor, see a doctor.
A first step may be your general practitioner. But it's not unreasonable to do a check-up with a cardiologist once a decade, better identifying risk factor when they're still risks rather than disease.
Note shat while États-uniens is sometimes used in French, it's not really used beside some left wing intellectual wanting to brag about America being the continent and sometimes sounds mildly anti American but not too much
While it's indeed a better word than American, one can also argue that USA aren't the only United States as a larger federation e.g United Mexican states so you can make the same argument about états uniens
Until you're on the verge of dying it's never too late.
People go (back) to university later, either to get an extra degree/qualification to advance their career or to finally find the job/qualification they want. Depending on your location, and CV you may not have to do some course, and be allowed to retake a year/test as often as you want (Because university understand that a 40 something adult, sometimes with kids, can only follow 1-2 class per semester).
At lest it's work giving a couple of call to your university, they most likely have a person dedicated to adult student which can guide you through the process. Note also that depending on your country/status you may be eligible to some government help (usually through unemployment agencies)
Anyone has the right to criticise any government. Tons of Lemmy thread on !world@lemmy.world are basically foreigner giving negative (and sometimes positive) critics about government with sometimes locals giving contexts
If you can criticise dictatorship like Russia, North Korea you can also criticise democracies like US or France. Even better, in these countries, you can legally do it from national soil, while in dictatorship you'd get into trouble
At least in (most of) Europe, we do still have a large public part in healthcare/retirement and in general less stock investment culture so people won't see their safety netand retirement money collapsing, sure loosing let's say 10% of your saving sucks, and may even impact your ability to buy a new home (unless interest-rate fall faster in that case you may even be able to buy a nicer home)
We're also kinda lucky, The US adding tariff means that we'll export less to the US, but we can still export to the rest of the world at the same conditions as before. Note also that the remaining manufacturing in Europe is mostly complex product with high added value Planes, industrial robots, or Champagne's wine are already very expensive so I expect that many of the American who can afford these will still be able to afford-it with the tarifs. I am not Naïve, export to the US will dip, but I see some factors that should limit the dip.
Don't get me wrong, some European companies will loose US contract, and will at best launch mass lay-off plans or even bankrupt, and people will be unemployed (see point above about public safety net it makes the difference between selling your car, not going in holiday and shopping at Lidl and ending up homeless). But I am kinda optimistic, the impact for real people will be under control. I am old enough to remember 2008, and it wasn't that bad.
Most people don't have much money on the stock market, and many of the one who do understand it comes with risks, and look at long-term trends rather than week to week fluctuation.
Sure it dropped a lot over one week, and some Bubble are finally collapsing (Seriously who the hell believe Tesla is worth so much ?). However, a part of the drop is coming back to the level it was 1-2 years ago (After the big dip of last week Eurostock 50 is back 3% under it's level one year ago, so most of the dip is just cancelling the 10-15% raise over last year)
Moreover, while people rich enough to have large saving on the stock market won't see their life change if they loose 5000 EUR due to politics it's not money they need right now to pay a bill or go to holiday, it's money they don't need on the short term, it may have an imapct the day they want to buy a larger house/apartment or buy-back their mortgage, but that'it
A steampunk robot doll with fantastic clockworks mechanism wearing a victorian dress sits in front of an easel, her left mechanical hands goes toward a canvas on which a cat is being painted. her right mechanical hand holds a painter palette. The scene occurs on a victorian room, near the robot, there is a small on table on which a nice glass is filled with mechanical oil
Model is Flux Dev
Actually impressed that it drew a left handed robot, a requeted
