Median rent right now is $2k. Rule of thumb is 1/3 or less of income spent on housing. So that's $6k a month. With comes out to 72k a year, pretty close.
All these articles act like workers have become so uppity and demanding but all they want is to live reasonably.
Man fuck these comments. He explicitly said he wanted to ruin the rest of her life. He intentionally posted them with her full name and address, endangering her. And to ruin her chance at getting/keeping a job. Dude does deserve to have his wages garnished for the rest of his life, at least there's a cap on UNLIKE WHAT HE TRIED TO DO TO HER!
And asexual
But I agree. The bi community already collectively decided we are trans and nonbinary inclusive. We don't need to further separate it out.
Anyone else remember when the my pillow guy had a 3 day event where he was gonna present his evidence of this? That was pretty fun. Hopefully this lives up to the hype and is even more wild and embarrassing than that one.
I wish I could get paid as much as a CEO to do nothing
I used to be fat, and when I watch morbidly obese people talk about how much they love food and it makes them happy and makes them feel better that is 100% me. Food is absolutely an addiction for some people, including me. Thankfully I have it under control to be at a healthy weight and lose weight when I need to, but some of these people have absolutely tragic childhoods or life experiences and I don't blame them at all for coping in that way. I could 100% see myself in that position if I had been through what they have been through.
However, those people are self aware that they are unhealthy. The people I can't stand are the "healthy at every size" fat acceptance people. Healthy at every size was SUPPOSED to be that you can make positive health focused changes at any size and there is no point of no return. But it got twisted into I can be morbidly obese and I am still 100% healthy forever. And they even make people feel bad for wanting to lose weight, even if it's for health reasons. Those people are trash and fall on the same level as antivax people IMO.
Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, until you start spewing harmful bullshit and then I will judge you as much as I want.
It makes me laugh how many people think this is a new development only in CA and in 2023.
This happened back in the 90s to my mom while working retail. Like 10 people came in and carried off the furniture they had in the store, because they knew the employees were instructed not to do anything.
Shit like this has been happening all over the US for decades, the media just decided it was the hot new topic to get more clicks recently. Even the Walgreens CEO who said theft was so awful they had to close a bunch of stores later admitted they "cried wolf".
Rich people love the idea that theft is out of control in the media because it gives them a talking point to keep us peasants in control. Starbucks was charged by the labor board for closing down unionizing stores under the guise of "safety concerns". Starbucks isn't the only place that has been pulling that shit.
And that's not to say I agree with 50 people bear spraying people and stealing luxury shit either. This isn't someone stealing food from the grocery store to feed their kids. It wasn't billionaires working in the store, it's people working a shitty retail job for shitty pay no doubt. But it is a topic being overblown for rich people's benefit.
So he couldn't present the evidence in court to exonerate himself, but it magically appears after the fact for a press conference.... Interesting
I haven't paid attention for a couple years, but the last time they "stopped" they just started donating to a charity they made to cover up that they are still donating to the same places. But they didn't do it directly so it doesn't count.
And the owners themselves are still donating to anti LGBT shit regardless, at least one of them has been funding an organization that has been assisting with putting out all these recent anti LGBT+ bills.
Pride makes money. Companies make money off pride merch and it costs them $0 to be inclusive of LGBT+ people.
But god forbid they do anything beneficial if it doesn't make them money or gasp cost money. That's why they actively find new ways to discriminate against disabled people without it being too obvious so they can skirt the law. Plenty of disabled people can do just as good or better at a job than an able bodied person with accommodations, but you're immediately a threat to a company if you request those accommodations. And then of course, just like anti union propaganda, the general public gets told that disabled people are greedy moochers that need to fuck off out of society.
I worked for a company that is vehemently anti WFH. They had everyone working remotely for all of COVID no problem. But now if a disabled person requests WFH as an accommodation they are told it is "not reasonable" and it is denied. It's very easy to get away with discrimination against disabled people because a lot of us are just trying to get through the day. Sitting in a court room to fight a company that will extend the lawsuit as long as possible sounds like my own personal nightmare. Hell, speaking of court even FUCKING JURY DUTY won't accommodate a lot of disabled people. That's literally the government and they don't give a fuck. I speak from experience.
Like most things, the answer is money. They want able bodied workers they can make money off the back of for the minimum amount possible.
Sorry this turned into a rant lmao
And the word phobia has meant aversion or hatred since at least the 1800s
https://archive.org/details/gentlemansmagaz206unkngoog/page/786/mode/2up
Dude is so obsessed with the meaning of words he couldn't even do basic research
Phobia doesn't only mean fear. Things that are hydrophobic aren't scared of water
A lot of employees out sick = less work being done
Less severe symptoms doesn't mean they are still showing up to work.
I don't really feel anything about the dictionary definition of words tbh

You have to keep in mind, the whole abortion thing is fairly new, but quickly taking over red states. Add that with your comp being lower in red states and people learned a lesson the hard way.
Rich people like money, but they like having rights and not freezing to death without electricity more. Ask Ted Cruz lmao
Yikes, I hope these people's entire family has some sort of protection. It's normal for them to attempt to kill anyone they don't like.
My favorite part was when they brought out their tech experts and they had to question if it was a Windows computer or not LOL
A lot of people learned their lesson about moving to avoid income tax in the past 3 years. Surprise, a lot of rich people and businesses ended up moving back to the states they shit on a couple years earlier. Including Elon Musk who makes waaaaay more than $1m
I would consider a new dentist, and probably a sedation dentist if you have issues with numbing.
Depending on what you are having done, there is also laser dentistry. And my dentist has some special drill where he has done shallow cavities for me with no novacaine and I didn't feel shit except the usual drilling/pressure feeling.
This dentist just sounds shitty. Yes you were tensing up but you already told them a bunch of times you were in pain. They should have had a plan in place that y'all had agreed upon for dealing with a situation where the lidocaine wears off. Or maybe schedule you at a time where there are no other patients so they could go as fast as possible with no interruptions. Maybe I am expecting too much here but my dentist is the bomb and would easily do that for someone.
Wow they didn't even try to hide it and pretend it was due to "layoffs"
Which is still illegal btw, happened to my friend and the company had to pay him a bunch of money
I mean we do multiple life sentences or life + so many years so I don't see why the same logic wouldn't apply when the penalty is monetary. It's a super high number to ensure he's paying the rest of his life, even if he suddenly comes into a bunch of money. It's intended as a warning.
I mean how much money can you put on the price of someone's life, safety, or missed future potential earnings? I think it was just a huge number to "ruin the rest of his life" as he attempted to do.
For example, the McDonald's coffee lawsuit. The coffee was so hot it melted that lady's skin together. And this was an ongoing issue that McDonald's had been warned of several times and didn't listen. So while the lady was just trying to get her medical costs covered, the jury awarded an additional $2.7m in punitive damages because McDonald's didn't listen. Punitive damages are literally money as punishment.
Wow dude needs to get a better hobby lmao
Is he still being sued? The best thing about the OG one was it was announced he was being sued in the middle of it
And the bus company that agreed to this shit
Yes that is the church
When did games go from being something fun to do, to people getting so serious about them that they would rather fuck over a bunch of disabled people than lose a game?
Whenever I play competitive games I see people raging in the comments like every game, and it's usually people who aren't doing very good that round because they want to blame everyone else for losing. Idk why y'all are paying $60+ just to be angry the entire time. Fuck around and have fun, it's not that serious.
It's so bad you're STILL mad about a hypothetical situation that doesn't even exist. Spiderman 2 is single player. If it was competitive, and disabled people being able to play ruins your life sooo much, then don't play it. Crisis averted.
Billionaires are out here flying around to avoid traffic (ie Elon Musk) and people are out here shitting on me for my 1 trip a year to visit my family
If y'all wanna buy me a house out there and pay my moving costs so I don't have to fly anymore to see them then I welcome the opportunity
Pet food. I have done a lot of research into the pet industry in general and there are a lot of things being sold for pets that are literally unsafe for them. Like cages that are too small, treats that aren't safe for them, chew toys full of toxic shit they shouldn't invest, food that is the equivalent of McDonald's every day, etc
Don't get me wrong, there's good quality pet food you can get fairly cheap and bad quality pet food you can get that is very expensive. It comes down to research. But if you're just grabbing whatever is cheapest is most likely setting you up for potential health issues down the line.
This is speaking as someone who has experienced this with both cats and rabbits. The cheapest food for rabbits is usually full of alfalfa and whatever else weird ass colorful shit they threw in there that is not healthy for adult rabbits. And cat food is usually too high in carbs, too high in salt, or both. Diabetes and kidney failure in cats fucking sucks, it's not worth it.
Keeping track of what to boycott became to burdensome, so I'm just kinda doing a universal boycott where I buy everything possible second hand.
Hobby Lobby is probably one of the biggest on my shitlist
My company sends out an anonymous survey every year and every year I put "what about disabled people for DEI?" every year and every year it is ignored 🥲
I like circus peanuts. And banana laffy taffy. Anything old banana flavored is 👌
Ok now we are gonna have to fight irl

What rights are being taken away here exactly? The vote is on keeping access to abortion. That does the opposite of take away rights. The minority is not gonna be forced into having abortions.
Cars 1 and 3 are really good movies and you should watch them if you have not. Cars 3 is my favorite.
And I don't even like cars
I feel like most "girly" communities are pretty dead here ðŸ˜
Or even less meat. Most countries do not eat the giant portions of meat or meat for every meal like the US does. Plus it's way cheaper
I'm curious what the backend looks like based on your requirements here... Ansible is always a red flag for me that your servers are pets not cattle. Just maintain a golden image, especially since you mention kubernetes. And if you're using self managed kubernetes USE REMOTE ETCD. Trust me, it will save you so much time and drama.
I wouldn't be interested unless it's paid so I am just throwing that out there for y'all to consider.
They should double down and get him to testify this under oath instead of a press conference
Yeah I like having basic human rights. It's a big ask to even ask anyone to stay there, let alone move there. It's literally life and death for women who can't get an abortion.
I don't disagree. Income inequality is an overarching issue in the US. As is charging monetary damages that will never be paid out. My mom was injured in a car accident by someone driving under the influence, and she had to cover all her medical bills out of pocket despite winning in court because the dude wasn't even working and had no money to garnish.
I was more talking about how it fits in with the current system, as flawed as it may be. I don't have a good solution aside from overhauling the massive income inequality in this country. People working minimum wage jobs (which are usually jobs we need for society to function!) should not be living the same lifestyle as this dude.
