The kitchen disco requires really good headphones. You don’t get ear covering sound without a jack.

I was shocked when he got a gov’t contract after he admitted to all that fuckery in Ukraine. Wtf is happening in gov’t???

This is what I came here for

Organic ,non bot, actual real conversation, is not going to skyrocket. It’s going to grow like a real world thing. This is good imo

I need this so I downloaded if that’s OK thankyou

If you look at history you’ll find banks have a way of getting what they want or destroying faith. It’s never straight forward. They have teams of lawyers, teams of people who make moves based solely on profit.

I am gainfully employed but keep an eye on what’s available in the US just to see what opportunities are out there. I started seeing some insane salaries and so checked the offers out. Five minutes of research shows that even with the highest salary , there is literally no place to live. Neither rent nor purchase. Because it’s a service like Indeed, I don’t see a way to contact the job poster directly and see if they are even aware this is an issue. Many of the postings are around one month old.

You mentioned nursing, here in the US, hospitals have been pared back to mostly large urban areas. This caused my brain to hurt.

Cheers and luck, I hope y’all don’t end up renting in old age!

We need more well built homes. This is the hidden crisis inside the housing crisis. I have a friend who has actually paid for two homes but only owns one. It’s been one thing after another in large and serious issues.
Shoddy and fast housing has been a problem, but now we are also here ,just after all this flip culture. Be careful and thorough, if we ever get the chance to buy that is.

Idk , I mean… unsustainable growth , to me, that’s the same thing as greed.

Aye, Thank you! I’m not that sophisticated with this stuff but I’ll snag that link!

Aye, I left when they started up their bs in Canada. I will very grudgingly turn it on once Three Body Problem is out and then turn it right back off. Or even, if I can buy TBP from another streamer or DVD , I’ll wait and do that. This greedy crap from Netflix is personal to me. So sick of greed.

This is the issue that’s so hard to see until it is explicit like your example. The time wasted, not spent on things of value is where this type of trolling costs us the most. In world news there were well thought out answers to some asshole who was just giving low quality taunts

Egregious is the perfect word, I can only add that the adds are offensively stupid as well, and loud. I’ve been clicking back and forth until the content comes on but now it’s three times at least. I’ll install one of these ad blockers now but the real problem still isn’t solved. I’d love to leave the platform altogether but don’t know of an alternative. I tried PeerTube at one point but that was a dumpster fire , at least at the time I peeked in.

The other thing I hate about YT is the obvious click baiting the platform does, over the creators wishes. If I’m not clicking on any of the videos, the thumbnail images get weirder and crazier until I just leave the whole mess. Anyone else noticed this? It’s like they are convinced this will gain more engagement and maybe it does but I hate it and feel manipulated and degraded by it.

Very same here. I delivered pizza in Atlanta in 1988 and shared a two bedroom on Piedmont park for a total of 550.00 month. I was so worried about making it too lol. Now as a person 30 years in my field and making fair money , I am paycheck to paycheck with little ability to save. To be fair, I’ve started over a couple of times , divorce etc. Starting over is expensive and takes a long leveling off but this economy is adding a lot of time on it.

12 years but honestly, I am glad the kerfuffle led me to Lemmy as well as other places I didn’t know about. It seems there are many excellent alternatives who take the culture if their place seriously, which reddit never did. I get much more of a coffee shop discussion feel here.
