I mean I hear you but the top three posts talk to a depressing dystopian present. Even this one reminds us of our past and current oppression.

I trust many find comfort in these memes but all I see is reminders of a world I don’t like.

Haha, I sleep in a hoodie and my wife is baffled by it, she’s a furnace and couldn’t possibly.

I really enjoy having that hood, feels like I’m strapping into sleep time.

Disagree! Sleeping with the windows cracked open in the winter is amazing.

They work in my town just outside a large metro area in the US.

That said, no one seems to actually use them here and are always crossing traffic at the worst times.

It’s really frustrating to watch people of every age playing chicken with cars daily.

Fwiw they’re just collecting a paycheck. Sure it’s scummy for them to not reject the businesses offering them the money but tbh I really don’t blame them - I’d probably take the cash too.

Depending on the channel size sponsored ad reads can deliver upwards of multiple thousand per video for the creator. If you see multiple channels with the same ads, it’s bc the company advertising got a big budget approved, that’s it.

Imo just skip the ad reads (or get sponsorblock) and forget they exist. Usually the creator doesn’t even give a fuck who’s paying them or why. They are victims of the system too, not maliciously peddling garbage. I do wish they didn’t have to peddle anything, but here we are.

I think there is also upside here by formally allowing renters to positively affect their credit history through consistent renting.

Homeowners and credit card owners can improve their credit via consistent payments, why not renters?

(Yes, I do know there are ways to have your lease impacting your credit but they aren’t a default and many renters would benefit from the credit boost this could enable)

I’m nearly at 7 with my employer and I’ve found the situation to be quite good and I see no sign yet to jump ship. There’s still good gigs out there.

I’m sure the person you are responding to had good reason to stick around 20 years. It’s possible only recently did the math not work out for them.

Yeah, I’m with you. The entitlement around media (games movies TV) is insane to me.

You do realize those are usually exclusive for only a year, right? So EGS pays them out for a year of exclusivity and then the devs are free to launch on steam and others.

The thing is, often if they don’t get that first infusion of cash from a deal with EGS (or another investor) they don’t get to complete or even launch the game at all. So it never would make it to the other markets.

I have a pair of wired ath m50x from 2008. They still work well and on the third set of pads.

Uhh it’s not like the UK is actually any better in this situation if it’s true that they are sending random migrants to Rwanda

Could you pull the ladder up behind you any harder?

They tried to stand impartial (my most generous interpretation of reddits in-action towards the donald) and it really fucked them.

It’s so weird how many platforms cater to harmful rhetoric in an effort to stay neutral only for them to later ban the community after the damage has been done.

If I were more conspiratorial I’d suggest the Donald survived for as long as it did on purpose and with the explicit support of the reddit admins/execs…

And then 34 tomorrow. Lol, lmao.

For me it was when his videos turned into advertisements blatant for paying the bills. He moved to CA, lost the passion for yt (which I don’t blame him, life happens) but then the videos he would make were soulless adverts in his vlog style.

He seems to be “back” now doing videos with passion and vigor. I hope he’s having fun again

As someone who leans agnostic, I would say this is a strawman argument. Unicorns and religions/gods are not related.

Could you elaborate on which? I’ve seen a lot of sketchy reviews recently

FYI, lots of people have different grocery needs so a broad statement like “grocery trips are $N these days” is pretty meaningless without the context of your purchases or needs.

A better example might be “my grocery bills are up 50% this year with no changes to what I buy!!”

My grocery budget has changed the last few years, but from $65 average to now $85 average. That said the supplemental food I buy (occasional orders out, etc) has risen significantly more, probably upwards of +60% at times.

Fastmail supports aliases as well. I’m not sure how they are from a privacy side overall tho

The feline investigation bureau?
