I took it to mean people who earn that much per year. The average person working a $30k+ job should have more than a million in the bank at retirement, and that should have been enough to retire on comfortably. Now I’m being told it’s more than 1.5-2 million dollars at retirement.
*Initialism. Acronyms have to be words, like ACORN or RICE.
Some email systems now won’t mark things as spam. They’ll have a popup window asking if you want them to help you unsubscribe from the shit. I about blew it when I saw that.
Sure, that’s hilarious, but I’m pretty sure I remember actually being taught to turn on a computer (and monitor) when we were being taught about them in general. What do you think these kids should do, just know things?
“They’re pretty open about that” doesn’t quite cut it, when I’ve seen examples in this lemmy post alone of people discovering the fact. We need removable batteries.
Half the fun is seeing how people try to fuck with you, and fucking with them back. Burner phone, though, never a real connection that you care about.
I have little doubt that apple still uses things like wi-fi and bluetooth even if they are completely turned off. I complained when they made the change to the control panel. If I want bluetooth or wifi off, no button I push should turn it off partially or for “24 hours.”
Same. I would see the advertisement for them and think it was cool, but never heard anything about the actual story. Apparently there have been video games and comics.
I remember another story as well, where the journalist actually walked up the hill that blocked the view of the facility and saw the construction. It had about the same focus, but didn’t go into as much detail on the computing side of the NSA, just their storage capabilities.
The knowledge that a government agency is recording everything is one of those existential horrors that slowly fades and just quietly lurks in your mind, hidden beneath the daily struggles and interests.
There was something that just felt wrong about the sync app thread in one of the lemmy.world communities. Just post after post of “yay, it’s like having reddit back again.” Reddit can fuck off. I like the novelty and slight roughness around the edges.
It doesn’t look close enough to a real bill for the bank/Secret Service to care about. I’ve seen someone charged with counterfeit money when they had the movie money that literally says “This is not real money, it is for cinematic purposes only” on the back. Cops and DAs can fuck you twice over.
For the most part, state laws specify ‘public roadway’ for traffic crimes. My state has two specific laws that apply in private areas like parking lots: no insurance and unsafe backing.
Zip-tie surround it with carts.
Turns out, I would download a person. Take that, record companies!
Even in the very, very conservative places in the US that I’ve lived in, topless is legal. While it would definitely attract staring, women have the same ability to show skin as any male. Legality hasn’t lessened the sexualization of the breasts.
I personally prefer the pastafarianism-ism about global warming and Caribbean pirate prevalence.
Which, sadly, these days is a one-way ticket to you being in the alternative school. With your bully. If the bully, who is probably a football or basketball player, even makes it to the principal’s office instead of being given the royal treatment for having a student oh so randomly attack him!
I’m pretty sure the love for Warcraft III evenly splits X and Y.
