Haha! Now if only the point of work was to make you happy! If research showed it made your boss wealthier then everyone would be WFH tomorrow!

When reddit announced that they were going public I knew the end was nigh. Money corrupts everything. What made reddit cool was the users and reddit just wanted to suck that dry. I was happy to leave but I pretty much just lurked on Reddit so it wasn't that hard.

Flip-flopping on states rights is conservative bread and butter. When conservatives control the federal government there is no such thing as state rights and when they don't it's federal overreach. This endless news cycle with these talking heads ceaselessly babbling is normalizing that words don't actually matter. Politicians will say the exact opposite thing with equal conviction.

The older I get the more I favor unions because they seem to support the idea of seniority. However, assigning benefits based on seniority doesn't seem like a very effective solution for a well functioning system. Gotta hand it to the Republicans. They ran with a crazy ass fucking disrupter and it's worked for them. Wish the democrats had the balls to roll with Bernie 9 years ago.

You have to take into account that at least 30% of the total are likely "Trump is sent by God and is devinely inspired and therefore can do no wrong" crowd. So when his disapproval number hits 70% that's as high as it'll go.

My sample size of myself has had 1 drive fail in decades. It was a solid state drive. Thankfully it failed in a strangely intermittent way and I was able to recover the data. But still, it surprised me as one would assume solid state would be more reliable. That spinning rust has proven to be very reliable. But regardless I'm sure SSD will be/are better in every way.

You got the right idea I think. The boats are all smooshed together in a Marina so it's natural for people to overestimate the number of boats relative to the number of people. There are way way way more people then there are boats. Honestly that's the appeal of boats, the ability to go somewhere there aren't a lot of people because most people don't own boats.

Does Lemmy support polls? Seems like this would be a good poll.

My LG microwave suffered a major malfunction and broke the magnetron. I replace it but the humidity sensor apparently broke also so my popcorn button and with other features dependant on that sensor don't work.

Just another example of the enshitification of consumer products. Now I have to cook my popcorn like a savage. I don't know how many bags of popcorn I ruined because my attention span is shorter than the 1-2 seconds between pops.

How does a video of Haitian immigrants voting illegally versus legally look different? Are they wearing signs or maybe one of those "Hi! My name is..." stickers with "Illegally Voting Haitian Immigrant" written in? Or maybe it's just obvious because they present passports written on the back of cereal boxes and the election worker is giving big comic winks and saying "sign here US citizen legally allowed to vote." I guess it doesn't matter what the video shows. It's probably some Bigfoot jerky video with garbled audio with a caption saying "Haitian immigrants voting illegally."

As always it's important to get the thoughts of sports or movie stars before making any judgements.

According to German soccer star Toni Kroos, Germany is worse off which doesn't seem like a metric of success.

He said he felt that Germany had become less secure since he left, and was now concerned his child would not come back “unharmed” from a night out alone.

Kroos told the Lanz & Precht podcast: “I think Germany is a great country and I’m happy to be here, but it’s not really the same country that it was 10 years ago when we left.”

But of course he hasn't lived there for 10 years so who knows what he's basing this on.
