It’s insane how these companies’ policies have become more strict after Covid. Leave it to CEOs to always managed to learn the wrong lesson.

I just don’t even know what to say to you. Do you understand that you are being the shithead?
Going to chime in here to say you’re definitely the shithead here.
Are you’re one of the people that came to the fediverse because your Reddit account was banned?

Also, the 500 is just the mortgage payment. It doesn’t include the insurance and property taxes and, at least in the USA, private-mortgage-insurance (pmi) if the down payment isn’t at least 20%.
The monthly obligation can easily be more than that 1000. The savings is in locking the first half in at a set amount.

Are there still municipalities that haven’t automated the container pick up part of it? Those trucks have the added benefit of having cameras track what is dumped at each address.

This is actually an argument for why these features should be mandatory. Traffic is caused by humans and their silly emotions. These types of self driving features with inter-communication would erase traffic jams.

The idea that intimacy is required to live a fulfilling life is the lie. There are famous examples of people who were life long virgins. A few of them were in unconsummated marriages.

The problem with parenting advice is every kid is different. This becomes clear after raised a gaggle of them. Anyone with one child that is giving advice is clueless.
My suggestion is not to give that type of child options. Tell them what’s happening. Then do it. May that not work any better and ignores why you may have started giving them choices.
You didn’t specify an age but typically choices are best for later development. Toddlers are terrorists and one should never negotiate with a terrorist.

It’s a shit posting sub. This is how it works. It’s not anyone’s safe place. Feelings are the punchline here.
- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 3 weeks ago:
They are all downvoting my shit comment to a shitpost, so they’re all proving it correct.
Most people who use Linux don’t tie their personality to it. I’ve long suspected that Lemmy has few of those.
- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 3 weeks ago:
Makes dumb people feel smart.
Gives people who lack agency in life something they use to look down on others, despite no one caring.
For a tiny majority that have them. It is a useful red flag for your loved ones, that the slide of mental illness continues.
They secretly desire to be seen as hackers by others; reality is they are hacks.
They lack the ability to enjoy self deprecating humor.
The inky blackness of terminal screens to sates their inner emo.

If someone was claiming they were working on making a game that contained all games, we would all laugh at them because we know gaming well enough to understand there absurd. But when we talk about computer intelligence like that, some people are like, “well, maybe” because they don’t understand computer intelligence.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 3 weeks ago:
That’s not a tipped job. Literally a job that forbids tips.
You are equating working fast food with the job a server performs.
I don’t know why or how and do not see that changing, potentially ever. You do not display any signs of the prerequisite intellectual curiosity to change your uninformed opinion on the matter.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 3 weeks ago:
There is no convincing them to change their behavior because it’s an emotional reaction they backfill with paper thin logical.
These are people who, if given a position where they determined employees wages they would pay the bare minimum. The temporarily embarrassed millionaire mindset, class traitors, etc.
If they were approaching this from a truly moral position they would boycot establishments where tipping is expected. Instead they freeload and feel entitled to a server paid the literal minimum wage.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 3 weeks ago:
it’s pretty much the most unqualified job in the world that pretty much anyone can do.
How many years have you worked as a server that allowed you to make this assessment?
- Comment on Mississippi Senator tells his constituents to 'get a life' 4 weeks ago:
I don’t disagree there. What i disageee with is that the Democratic Party cannot be salvaged. We can take it by force if needed me. The issue I see with it is there it full of boomers and genx-ers with boomer mindsets.
We need to primary all those fuckers so we can move forward. The ideas of Democratic Party resonate with people, the junk the centrists have are all Republicanesque.
I am immediately reminded of one such loser who laughed at the idea of $15 minimum wage back when they were in a position to push for it.
I don’t like the term DINO (democrat in name only) because it sounds like a purity test but it’s time we take action to push these people out by whatever means necessary.
A new party won’t work. The republicans tried it. Taking over the party worked better for them and only took a few election cycles.
We need to unify and stop the in fighting. Anyone who resists or says liberals are just and bad or any other negativity towards a rebuild need to told to fuck off. They are not worth engagement.
For example, I will not respond to weasel but I will jump into to anyone attempting to engage with them. That’s the entry point. Not these doom and gloom motherfuckers.
- Comment on Mississippi Senator tells his constituents to 'get a life' 4 weeks ago:
The fun part of Lemmy is it’s quite small and so these names become recognizable. I believe Mr weezel is from a red state, I want to say Texas and all conversations indicate he has fallen hard for the anti democrate propaganda. He’s likely a libertarian (diet republican) but I can’t recall specially, there are a lot of leftist™ on here, aka Tankies.
Both have tha same complaints and the same level of emotional intelligence so it’s really hard to tell them apart despite the ideologies being completely opposites.
Either way, his suggestion will ultimately allow a continued right wing majority.
- Comment on So Long to Tech's Dream Job: It’s the shut up and grind era, tech workers said, as Apple, Google, Meta and other giants age into large bureaucracies. 4 weeks ago:
Not sure why Apples being grouped in here. Since 2020 their layoffs are rounding errors, 0.5% while Google and Meta are 7% and 26% respectively.
Apple has been beaucratic since before Google and Meta existed and never had the perks that Google and Meta offered.
If anything these companies are becoming more like Apple and Microsoft. Which was inevitable.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve never worked as a server but I did date one long ago who said something to the effect, “that $5 means more to her than you” and while I was not nearly as financially stable back then, that idea has stuck with me.
An extra isn’t going to make or break my day but it could make someone else’s day.
Another way I’ve been thinking about this is how for a brief moment you someone’s “boss.” If you’ve ever complained about unfair compensation what does it say about you that you’re using than brief moment of power to be what you hate.

- Comment on My new laptop chip has an 'AI' processor in it, and it's a complete waste of space 5 weeks ago:
Microsoft, Google, and Apple are all quietly integrating NPUs into their devices, and implementing the software infrastructure in their operating systems to do on-device classification of content:
Too late. Apple has had an NPU in their phones since 2017. It’s been standard on flagship android devices since 2020 with various amd and intel processors starting around the same time.
I’m not here to defend LLMs or AI feature but for a comment to start with such a misinformed assessment of the state of reality reminds me of someone spouting off about chemtrails and weather machines.
At least NPUs actually exist.
If someone wants to avoid this stuff they are going to need to pick an open source platform that does not use these processor features.

You said 10% for OK which is cheap.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 5 weeks ago:
How many years did you work as a server?
I find this sort of behavior is common against people who have zero hours of experience and don’t know anyone that has worked these jobs.
The pride people feel over being cheap is telling. Going into a transaction with known expectations and flaunting the choice to under perform is not a flex. It’s a symptom among many in this flailing county.

The solution is to never step foot in the restaurant again not punish the server.
