  Only certain things cost more in cities like housing. Other things are basically the same price, especially with online options. You get paid more, which means your 401k match is more money. There’s more opportunities in cities and services like schools are generally much better because of better funding.

  Yeah, if you’re childfree and wfh, it’s probably worth it to move to a lcol area. But there are a lot of things to consider.

  I wish severence would have ended at season 2, exactly the way it did. I’m bracing for dissapointment.

  Remember when our biggest fear was killer bees? What a quaint time in our history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I withdraw/stop putting into my 401k?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There should be a target date fund, do that. It automatically rebalances as you reach your target date. So if you plan to retire in 2050, pick the 2050 fund.

  Sometimes pooping helps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you go about getting rid of things around your home/apartment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Look them up on ebay/marketplace/mercari, give to friends or free group on fb, donate to good local charity, dump junk at goodwill, garbage. All in that order

  The best way to convince people is to say it protects children or stops terrorism.

  Republicans srarted the abortion bogeyman as a way to get religious people to vote for them. Before that, nobody really gave much thought to it.

  There’s also a good chance that one or both is a troll online.

  I’m already using linux, but my laptop is an older dell with a 5th? Gen i5 dual core. Still works fine, but i had to jankily push down on the keyboard ribbon cable with a piece of cardboard, still has sata ssd, screen could be nicer, bezels are an inch wide, etc. This an oportunity to get an uograde if companies are going to dump perfectly good hardware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I said from the beginning that the tpm 2.0 requirement was a way to make people buy new pc’s. Good news for me who wants a laptop upgrade.

  Let’s talk about the growing number of websites that won’t work with a vpn. Even a local government website won’t work.

  I don’t really understand how that one was a problem if they’re also a physicist, or even if they’re a biologist. Nothing wrong with some fun rivalry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why is EVERYTHINGGGGG behind a paywall?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s an android app called photo studio pro that can do all that. It’s $55 but you get access to it with play pass, which is $35/yr. You also get moonreader+ and a bunch of games, so it’s a decent value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Able to Play, a game repository that helps you find games that match your accessibility needs, just launched!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish it didn’t need a login. It looks like a good resource for disabled veterans. The American Legion is building a focus on videogames in order to reach younger veterans and help with their mission of preventing veterans suicide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨C.D.C. Will Investigate Debunked Link Between Vaccines and Autism⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, I figured it out

  In pursuing the study, the C.D.C. is defying the wishes of the chairman of the Senate Health Committee, Senator Bill Cassidy, who said this week that further research into any supposed link between vaccines and autism would be a waste of money and a distraction from research that might shed light on the “true reason” for a rise in autism rates.

  Some chemical company already knows why.

  Now I know you’re trolling, because nobody has ever heard of lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Government announces plan to open up Land Registry⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can go online, look at an interactive map and see all the parcels, who owns them, how much they paid, the assessed value, how much they’ve paid in taxes over the years, if it’s owner occupied, and more and it’s free. This is a no brainer so you can see if anyone is playing games with property taxes or anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨work related: is this something only an autistic would ask?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Supervisor yelled at someone for being on their phone or something like that. Didn’t call them any names. Just yelled at them in front of other people.

  My cat unironically likea being shot at with a nerf gun so they can take cover and try to advance on me. Of course I aim far away from them.

  I’ve seen people walked out for less andI work in a factory. Call your union rep and tell them about undertaffing and retaliation.

  There was definately a tone shift when the site was bought. People were usually mocked if they were actually right wing over there.

  Are those supposed to be far right slogans or something? This was normal stuff at the time.
