Thanks for the info! Here’s a shot with the gills. Looks like the safe variety to me too!

I long for the day when they are just normal everywhere. Easily one of the best things to come out of the pandemic and those wild toilet paper shortages.

The only problem with the sentiment of “just don’t use it” is that many of these stores have like one manned checkout vs a dozen sel checkouts. Not about to sit in line with the carts full of stuff when I need to grab two things.

News channels have been using YouTube to upload clips and segments for many many years now. But you probably don’t like YouTube because it’s big bad to folk like you.

Prove your claim. What book? Where? Or are you just making this up or maybe repeating some bullshit some other moron said?

It’s not exactly that I’m buying into it disappearing is a foregone conclusion - just that if something doesn’t happen to proactively protect and improve the system, than yeah, it’s in big trouble in the next decade. And my personal bias puts my main concern on the people who rely on it for disability insurance since they are some of the most vulnerable. Of course I want what I paid into it myself later in life, but at least I can see it helping those close to me for some consolation if it doesn’t.

Thanks for the link what a great breakdown. I knew it was bad for him but it’s so much worse than I thought!

Agreed. I even have found myself thinking over years that some people in my life would have been better off if they had found religion, though I am not myself religious.

Millennial here and I have a few family members that rely on SSDI so I just like that my contributions support them. I’ll figure things out myself for retirement. But an estimated 7.8 million people rely on SSDI and taking that away from them could very well be death sentences. We have to do better.

Generally curious how many people that have clung to Windows largely due to gaming have made the switch or plan to make the switch now that Valve has done such great work with Proton. I know I am certainly considering it and this is the kind of thing that will expedite that.

That is amazing. Of course straight to the pearl clutching from Fox.

I stayed off of Reddit near totally the first month or so and have been visiting it more again lately and there is a definite drop off in quality all over the place.

We can certainly dream though!

Whether it’s Reddit or the average workplace institutional knowledge is so commonly looked over that I truly (like) to believe that sometime in the next years society will realize how important it is and shift to caring way more about it.

Is it? Yeah, real estate investors want people back in the office but how many back to the office success stories are we seeing? It’s generally not working out for the employers pushing it.

The first time I saw our DM do this years ago I thought it was really clever. Glad it wasn’t just him!

At least they don’t even try to hide how much they are in bed with Russia anymore.

That and more! There’s even a community called “Enough Musk Spam” that ironically enough only posts Musk spam.

In most cases it’s probably fair to say that hospital administrations do not give a single shit about passing on those profits to the doctors, nurses, and other support staff. They will give the barest of minimum to everyone below while writing fat bonus checks for themselves or giving out pointless board positions to family and friends.

Hospital administrators are as greedy as they come don’t be fooled into thinking anything else. Even when they a non profit.
