  • This is not a lemmy problem. This is an everywhere problem. If you find a platform not talking about it then it is being heavily moderated and you're going to be in an echo chamber. For instance Facebook had a United health memorial post with 25x more "haha" reactions than heart/ sad reactions.

    Best of luck though

    Edit: wall street journal has called this a "nationwide outpouring of anger and frustration"

  • United health group listed 5 executives in their def14a filing which details executive compensation of 5 executives. Brian was the 4th executive, the ceo of the united health group was awarded 23 million and then there were two others who got 16 million. Overall it came out to about 75 million. Which i agree is less than i was expecting for 22B profit but it is still multiple lifetime's of wages for an average worker

  • I saw one that had a different relative say he was an honest person and hard worker.

    This honest person's company had $290 billion in insurance premium revenue in 2023 and they had $22 billion in profit. I always knew insurance was a grift but holy fuck.

    And the company rewarded him with a $10 million compensation package in 2023. No living person works hard enough in a single year to earn multiple lifetime's of average worker wages.

  • The big ship on the right casts a black hole and sucks the other air ships into it. These are strong units and normally are pretty spaced out so they are safe from splash damage. The black hole however spits everyone back out in the exact same spot so they are momentarily clumped together. So to take advantage of this you have those big blue balls of energy called archons. They have short range, lots of damage, lots of splash, not so good hp/shield so they are kinda of squishy. But if you throw them into the black hole too then they can come out at the same time as the enemies and blow shit up (since clumped enemies + your units in range with lots of splash)

    And that's the archon toilet!

  • The problem is incels use female to dehumanize and reduce women. That is where its use is popularized from and i can tell you that 95+% of the time i hear someone use female to describe a woman, outside of a clinical setting or paper, they are an incel. Some people like you may not be aware, or care, that this is how it is typically used but that doesn't make it any less offensive. That isn't someone being "paranoid" and starting with thinking things are dehumanizing. It is -literally- how the term was intended to be used in the context you're using it.

    Imagine going up to someone and calling them an derogatory term and then telling them they are just being paranoid for being offended. If you don't see the problem in that then i hope you can reflect on that and what this says about you.

  • Yes, and usps is never going to text you. Be careful about what links you click. This link could have passed through tracking and flagged your number as someone who clicks their links. At the very least they know it's an active phone number, and at worst they start targeting you more frequently (or sell a list to other people to target you).

    This is why you shouldn't ever respond, click on, interact with, or even read scam messages. Same goes for emails btw. Disable auto-loading images in emails since that is another way they can track active emails.

    But, good job second guessing the message and asking about it. I mean it. Some scams rely on you not talking to anyone so it is good to ask others if you're unsure/uncomfortable. This is especially true if someone tries to tell you not to talk to anyone else since that is a common practice scammers use as well and should be an instant red flag

  • Yeah it's a sunk cost fallacy. 91 days x 13 hours = 1,183 hours. Even assuming the manager is making $10 an hour they wouldn't recoup the loss unless they found it early.

    Ofc no manager makes $10/hour.

    Let's make some assumptions. just picking a retail place with firearms managers and i see cabela's listed on glassdoor reporting $53-91k. Let's go with the low end 53k. Let's also assume 40 hours per week and the manager is doing no more than 20% unpaid hours, so 2080 salary hours + 208 "good worker" hours = 2288 total hours worked in a year. 53k salary / 2288 hours = $23/hour effective pay rate. That's even before considering the benefits package

    $10,000 item / $23 per hour = ~435 hours of real time footage before it is a guaranteed sunk cost. This means finding it within first ~37% of footage. Meanwhile 435 hours would effectively take the manager off the floor for a quarter of the year.

    I didn't need to do math to tell you that this is a task given to someone to make them quit. Manager did something else and this how the company decided to get rid of them.

  • Two ways:

    • prioritize your time. If something is important to you then you adjust other things to make time. Such as spending less time on social media aka lemmy.
    • shorter duration, higher intensity.

    For you if you're short on time id focus on running- walking, pushing yourself to run more frequently than if you had the full 2 hours. The idea is to get your heart rate up higher than normal

  • It is terribly disappointing that there are articles about this that have either no photos of salmon hats, or they are clearly photoshopped.

    If you actually want to see a orca donning a salmon hat...

    Here's one

    And another
