Every other queens of the stone age record is an instant classic. They’re probably my favorite band and I genuinely dislike half their stuff.

Counterpoint: congress does their jobs exactly how their corporate owners want them to. Congress does not serve the best interests of the people.

I have adhd, anxiety, and depression. My spouse has anxiety, cpsd, and depression. We really enjoyed remote work before we were called back to the office.

I think it’s pretty scary. Completely overwhelming the media and internet with near-infinite variations of their propaganda is the most powerful way I can imagine for them to carry out the stuff you’re more worried about, with even less resistance.

It’s not the lack of AI safeguards themselves that worry me, it’s the constant stream of propaganda drowning out reality that worries me.

I’ve tried a couple and they all return worse results on average. Scrolling down past the LLM garbage and paying attention to which results are real is less work than re-querying DDG 4 times to get a decent result.

I haven’t tried kagi, but I’ve heard similar anecdotes here on Lemmy. I’m not opposed to paying. The ad model is unsustainably at best.

Not currently. Except for starvation wage retail. Tech hiring is still mostly frozen and smaller companies tend to just copy larger ones.

Thanks for posting regularly! This detailed write-up is super appreciated.

I feel like you’d get mega-sued for this nowadays

Corporations effectively run the government.

Yes, absolutely agree.

This is the part not being reported in the news.

Many of us are simply working half as much as we did when we were remote. It’s not worth trying to impress these people. They hate us.

Do you have a source for any of these claims?

Moo Deng is an international treasure.

I don’t like these. O’Brien might have held a simple job for a while, but Jesus Christ, the man wasn’t a pathetic spineless cuckold.

“surprising ability” haha. I love that autocorrect.

No it the fuck is not.

The rain won’t guide you though your emotional literacy journey while you unpack trauma, challenge your own insecurities, confront uncomfortable truths, and rebuild your identity.

Though it might help you sleep well, which can also work wonders.

Nothing like cabbages, women.

You can get very good stereo speakers and a quality amp for a few hundred bucks.

The idea that you need to spend thousands is a myth. It’s more about form factor than specs. Sound bars suck. Full range woofers don’t.

Sizzling hot take, lol

Came here to say:

• thyroid medication
• obstruction surgery
• cancer surgery and treatment
• cardiology to treat dilated cardiomyopathy.

Probably cost $25k over the years. I’m extremely grateful our pet insurance covered 80-90% of that.

Dude just turned 10 and he’s healthy and happy enough to start treating his arthritis.
