Houses in my neighborhood are selling as soon as they hit the market, and yes, my neighbors are real people and are actually the homeowners. The family that just moved in next door are immigrants, the wife is a manager at a logistics center and her husband works nights at the local Amazon warehouse.

I read this in “The AI’s Voice” from Dungeon Crawler Carl.

I’m just impressed they were able to milk a bird!

Good thing water and electricity can’t be used to harm kids.

My 13 year old Subaru has 3 oil leaks and requires a quart of oil every month. And I just had to drop $1100 to fix the AC after it not working at all last summer.

My wife’s 12 year old Subaru sputters to a stop if you brake too hard with the AC running. It also burns oil (always has) and requires a quart every other month.

I can afford new cars, there just aren’t ANY that I want due to privacy concerns.

I have a 3 year old MacBook that runs my local LLM and Image Generator. I read this article from the perspective that the new PC chips would be for people who want to run their AI locally, but I suppose you’re right, Microsoft is going to push their Copilot as hard as possible.

Businesses really do hire the absolute cheapest they can so it doesn’t surprise me that 300 companies had ‘thousands’ of employees who were actually North Koreans disguised as Americans.

But how sure are we that this isn’t just the plot of the next Greg Daniels project?

Thank you for providing a link to his art. I would like to think that he would prefer to be remembered by the link you provided rather than all the words used in the original story.

This was the one I was drawn to as well… The irreverent goat hauling an idol of Baphomet stuck dead center in the middle of all these other crazy motherfuckers, feeling like he’s the most normal one of the bunch.

“But, if I’m the most normal… I’m scared to death of society.”

Right… when people realized that a Chromebook can meet most people’s needs because 98%+ of what they do can be done through a browser, then Linux becomes a more viable option.

BUT… while most people don’t use their computers for gaming, the ones who do would be more likely to want to try Linux with Proton. The recent surges will get even more people familiar with how good Linux is, and they will be able to evangelize to the less adventurous.

Further, it could be said that they are all republicans who act in a democratic manner.

The article provided the study’s author and university, so a very easy search leads right to the study. The article also specifically mentions that the study followed Californians. I don’t see how posting this article takes away or misrepresents the study or that the article presents a conclusion different from the conclusion. People who live in California really aren’t all that different from people who live in Iowa.

I wonder if this is a legal strategy so he keeps getting sued in the hopes of finding a judge\jury that finds in his favor, then he can challenge the other cases based on the last case?

Fuck my doctor. He didn’t mention prepping the area, so I didn’t shave, figured they’d take care of it. Nope. Didn’t shave, just cut then applied glue to my sack.

The glue on my hairy sack was the worst part of the whole experience, and it lasted for 2 weeks. I left feedback but it works have been a much better experience of they’d just told me to shave.

But don’t worry, the service isn’t changing… they are just charging more because they can.

Yeah, sorry if I came across as aloof, I do know that it’s tough out there, but I do believe that most people come out ahead after a layoff. But there are still many others who don’t, and I do recognize just how lucky I am.

Hang in there… It took me 3 months to find a job and I worked my ass off every day of those 3 months sending out resumes, reworking my resumes, doing applications, having interviews with headhunters (which I’m retrospect was likely a waste of time since they really didn’t do anything for me).

I certainly didn’t want to come off as sounding like getting laid-off was easy, because it was an extremely stressful time of my life, buy I do think back on those 3 months and how I would have liked to have been doing literally anything else other that marketing myself.

And I will say that as a social network LinkedIn is shit, but it does seem to be a good place for job hunting. Make your profile look like someone they’d want to hire, and then try to be that person on the interview (and maybe even the first few months on the job, of you can).

I was laid-off in 2022 and got a pretty nice severance, and my new job pays 40% more. I wish I had known how relatively quickly I was going to find another job because I would have enjoyed my time off a lot more. I personally don’t know anyone who has been laid-off and ended up worse off.

I’ve never had one work and no longer even try.

I used it for peer-to-peer payments. Guess I’ll join Venmo like everyone else now.
