What is a good second career?

    • Are niche pillows and cases worth it?

    Jump

  • Everyone in my family, from my elderly parents to my kid have switched to buckwheat over the past decade or so. Every single one of them loves it. That's just anecdotal, but for me it was completely worth it.

  • When the Supreme Court loses all legitimacy, like it has, things get shittier much, much quicker.

    • Most Irish people underestimate the link between eating red meat and climate change

  • Most people underestimate the link between having children and climate change.

  • This is what most of the schools around my area installed a couple years ago:

    • RNC Co-Chair Tells Newsmax Republicans Are Planning For Possibility of Trump Addressing Convention From Prison

    Jump

  • I heard Gerald Ford's son talk about being on Spring Break and a fellow breaker came up to him and whispered,"Man, I don't know what you did, but you have some Feds watching everything you do!!"

    • Democrats decry Biden executive order turning away some asylum seekers | US-Mexico border

  • All the Dems I know, which is just about every person I know, don't't have a problem with it.

    • Bygone Era

    Jump

  • I think the most important context is minimum wage.

    In 1982 a full-time job making $3.35 an hour is pulling in approx $6,700 a year. Or 14% of the price of a house.

    In 2022, that same worker, working the same number of hours at minimum wage $7.25 an hour is bringing in $14,500 a year. Or 3.5% the price of a house.

    The same for groceries. THAT is the fucked up part. It's what happens when people seem OK with 50 trillion dollars going from the bottom 90% to the top 1% over the past several decades.

    • Greater Idaho movement: 13 counties in eastern Oregon have voted to secede and join Idaho

    Jump

  • I also couldn't find a better map on that link. The state itself is strikingly partisan, and I can't imagine a map that wouldn't reflect that. That could just be my lack of imagination though.

    • Millions raised for Arizona sheriff's animal shelter that was never built. Where did the money go?

    Jump

  • Corporate partners were brought on and more than $1.5 million was raised for the project. . . . No new home for animals was built, the main corporate partner pulled out and no one seems to be able to account for what happened to more than $300,000 that had been raised.

    I wonder what happened to the $90,000, I mean if I was given and extra $2,000 I would know where it was. In fact, if this is a problem, I'll just return the $17 bucks. Jeez.

    • This sub is like 1939 Germany with the new mods

    Jump

  • Whoa. You weren't kidding. I almost never go into comment history, but I found someone to block there.

    • Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor?

    Jump

  • Maybe you want an ultrawide for some tasks. I can see why people use them, it's not something I've felt I need.

    • MSNBC Guest Says He Spotted Trump ‘Editing’ Speeches Allies Made Outside the Courtroom

  • I wish people would explain their downvotes for this post. It has more information and nuance than 99% of the posts on lemmy. I guess because it doesn't fit whatever rage they are currently entertaining.

    • Both of Biden’s Key Economic Advisers get Basic Econ Wrong

    Jump

  • I'm always surprised when these weird freaks believing in trickle-down economics actually exist. Morons who still worship at the fecal stained feet of dementia Reagan.

    • Arizona officials say they can’t find Rudy Giuliani to serve him with indictment notice

  • I had to laugh at an earlier observation of a homeless guy being kicked out of the UCI encampment by the protestors.

    EDIT: Hal Holbrook wasn't wrong when he said the change in the audience over the years for his Mark Twain show was a quickly dwindling ability to appreciate satire.
