This is incredibly fucked up. Handmaid's tale was a documentary.

"Goods prices have abated..." The fuck they have. Also stop blaming inflation on wage increase. Most of it was caused by opportunistic greed of those aforementioned 'goods prices'.

I cannot wait to get out of this fucking country.

I mean, no? In case it wasn't clear from the article, these are the people that voted for this shit. It's also ironic they're already on Medicare (in their 20s) as it is. This should be an 'I get it now' moment for these families, but they'll learn nothing.

Point of note - it's just 'Ukraine', not the Ukraine. 'The Ukraine' is a label used by those who see the nation as a region part of Russia. Small, but important thing I had to change when referring to it as well.

I'm not sure how informed any 13 year old is, so this doesn't concern me - what concerns me is that most 12-15 year olds are just putting in massive hours on this nonsense. My partner's 13 yr old spends, no exaggeration, 8 hours/day on TikTok. If not more. I just started looking at access time on my pi-hole and router out of curiosity and it is disturbing. He is not an outlier.

Just another Tuesday in America.

Yeah, take your ball and go home. Notice you aren't banned. You're cowering to your little corner because you can't actually argue your 'side' reasonably. You're just whining that you think factual information is somehow biased.

You can also pay for it and get a refund, which is what I did. It isn't anywhere close to being finished.

And you still can! Only now you can see Brand, errr, Snow as the narcissistic womanizing asshole that he is!

No matter how many times you post this, you aren't going to counter a century of bad deals and predatory behavior. Car dealers have zero place in the market stream any longer.

Our? Where? In the US? Certainly not in the US. By any measure. Math scores are the lowest they've been in decades, same with science. Nevermind all of the fascist 1984 book banning and burning nonsense happening in certain places. These kids are not smarter.

Exactly this. Also, the market has cooled off now with more people looking for employment, so if they need to rehire, it will be cheaper.

It's 5061 square meters, not feet, Newsweek. That'd make for a pretty small club.

I bet the deer are doing terrible though.

These specifically are invasive species to these states and negatively impact the ecosystem. It won't affect native species.

Edit to add that these mosquitos are the carriers of yellow and dengue fever.

What does it take to get this guy disbarred at the very least?

Which couch will they look in to find all that money??

You can and should actually salt your steak several hours before cooking, leaving them uncovered in the fridge. Water will be drawn out, and then reabsorbed along with the salt. Dry the surface and salt again if desired right before cooking.

The funny thing is this article talks about kids. My Mom is in her 70s and I maintain her phone and she currently uses a pixel 6, so it's the latest os of course. Whenever I see her, I have to declutter her notifications. They're constant. Apps and websites have gotten more noisy and aggressive in prompting users to enable notifications or sending constant push crap and I don't think most people know how to disable them while retaining what they're actually wanting to get.

I'm so glad my government is about as good as a Tuesday episode of WWE raw. This is all so incredibly embarrassing.

They do though, but only when they bother to vote, gerrymandering not withstanding. Republicans historically have higher turnout than Democrats which is sadly why they have disproportionate representation.

Not sure how you decided this seeing as this benefits people at the poverty line and not the wealthy. Sure, anything can encourage schools to push up tuition prices, but there's literally a bill in play right now to cap tuition prices. It's not loan forgiveness, but it's far better than nothing. Also, the financial impact is a pittance. It's not the 50k per borrower floated in 2020. It's not even the 10k the scotus shot down.

I believe it's the Samsung s23 ultra. As others have said though, the number is largely nonsense. My 20Mp mirrorless slr takes far better pictures and it simply comes down to sensor size.

I have a handheld marine vhf radio with a removable battery that I can throw in the ocean and it will work and continue to work for days. Don't believe the bs the manufacturers tell you.

I'm literally the only person I know who uses any of these platforms. A new messaging service out of those won't ever be on their radar.

What I've noticed with my partners 13 year old is how little is actually taught. During covid, he got daily lesson plans for home teaching which took a couple of hours at most. He's been back in person now for 2 years. He gets no homework. He doesn't seem to be taught or retain any kind of knowledge, yet his grades are 'good'. Like, he can hardly tell you what countries make up North America, let alone where stares are or anything actually meaningful like history of... Anything. It seems to me the bar has just been lowered. We keep waiting for this to flip, or school to get 'hard' but it doesn't seem to be.

Thank you. Was going to be my comment as well. And we're talking fractions of a percent.

Apple is winning the communications game and I'm afraid I'll wind up switching once they go usb c. I'm sick and tired of the iMessage walled garden when messaging nearly everyone I know, and also tried of the hit or miss debacle of rcs. I will miss the customization freedom (currently using Niagara launcher and it's super unique ux), but Android phones have deleted all of the other benefits that separated them from iPhones, like expandable storage, ir blasters, headphone jacks, etc. I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I'm sick of waiting for this all to be worked out. Before anyone says to use signal or Whatsapp, etc, it just isn't a standard here in the US. Folks will never switch off iMessage.

I don't know what you're referring to

Isn't this the same guy who got shot at some Congress baseball game? Final destination stuff.

It used to make sense depending on your area and intended time you were going to rent for. This assumed that rent was significantly less than a mortgage and you were able to save or invest at least some of the difference. That gap has long since evaporated in desirable areas. In many cases, rent is as much as a mortgage. The problem here is that it prevents people from saving for a down payment (which alone could buy a home twenty years ago), and even if they could, homes are being snapped up with all cash offers from investors or corporations... So they can be rented at a profit. It's insane.
