I work 12s, alternating 3 and 4 days per week. It's hard to get anything else done during the workweek but the weekends are amazing

The dumb ex-President will be running for reelection next year, so unfortunately we have to care about him

His name is fucking Bowser!? He needs to sue Nintendo for infringing on his trademark

Hang in there Jase. I know life is hard but if you need someone to talk to feel free to message me

That's why I'm here now

This concept is revolutionary! What should we call this new form of information delivery?

I just swap between lemmy.world and lemm.ee whenever one of them goes down. They're the first two options on the app I use lol

Just quietly making money and avoiding jail. Even if the Don(ald) has to serve time

When I walk into the building I work at there is a disclaimer that they are using facial recognition. I don't know if this is reality or a scare tactic, but based on the industry I would assume they're just using it for free AI training

Frizzle = Based

Dude I love puzzles and would love to drag solving that one out as long as possible bc money. But you know the supervisor is telling them to hurry up and ignore the lines so his boss can make some more money.

I love this, I'm gonna have to start using it when everyone is rushing and making silly mistakes at work

Ohhhh Naked is watered down Odwalla. Can't believe I never made that connection but it all makes sense now. Used to love Odwalla, kind of like Naked if I missed lunch or something

Same energy as people bitching about the homeless in SF and Portland. It's like have you seen our downtown bro, there's a tent city

Roger Stone is a man who has used disingenuous ploys, since the Nixon administration, to get Republicans elected. He was heavily involved in all the "voter fraud" that Trump liked to rail on about. On an unrelated note, he is also involved in the "voter fraud" that actually occurred on behalf of Donald Trump

For me personally, I joined Lemmy a couple days ago because Reddit shut Joey off with now notice amidst trying to negotiate payment for a paid API. Maybe the users you're noticing are in a similar situation. I personally have no issues with reddit but I was a lurker there.

I think the idea is that people talk about the country in a positive context, such as sports. Trying to stem the onslaught of negative news regarding human rights, OPEC etc. But what do I know, I'm not a doctor

People who want to buy a house...

Now that's some dank strains. Someone needs to be at out critical mass and blue dream, and I think we found our man... Facelikeapotato, we don't deserve you, but we need you

Downtown Portland has gone to shit, no doubt about it. But there are problems in every city that needs addressing. For what it's worth I'd move to Portland still, the area is beautiful and much better than the increasingly overpriced desert I'm living in

Speeding cameras are already a thing some places, but there's been a lot of hooplah over whether the city can actually enforce fines for people caught that way.

Is it really though? Injustices happen all the time here. I want to agree with you but I'm struggling to come up with good justifications for it. Can you explain your thinking a little bit?

No, it's going to require extreme salaries, because there are so many options for the qualified people in the Phoenix area. TSMC's reputation precedes them and people would rather work at Intel or NXP or ONsemi or anywhere else for less money, than to work for them

I like how you think

The movie Employee of the Month had that

Yes yes yes yes yes. Or maybe I should say Yeah Yeah Yeah. This song is amazing and the Flaming Lips put on the best live show I've ever seen. 🤘

Yes, this thread contains a lot of great banter and I'm here for it!

What kind of specs do you need to run a personal instance? I'd like to, but I don't really want to invest in a bunch of computer stuff right now

RIP Aaron

Thx Mitch

Anecdotally, that's what I did. 30% raise and my boss did not even try to match. Just started shit talking the competitor I was going to lol

Ok so I'll move to Ireland, since they speak English and I could keep my job I'm sure I'll have much better luck renting there XD. Go away troll

I like lime sparkling water. You get the bubbles and it has a nice taste

Shouts out to autocorrect 🤣

You forgot the highest volume Intel fab in the world XD. But you're right Arizona at least has nice weather almost half of the year and tons of hot jobs in tech. The issue is with the work culture at TSMC and not the location

Hang in there, things will be better soon. Happy to hear you're seeing your doctor soon, hopefully they'll hook you up with a better med. In the meantime, try to take it easy on yourself. You're awesome, don't forget that

The 22nd Amendment, so it's in the Constitution. Unfortunately the current Supreme Court would probably find a way to hugely misinterpret it.

Sounds like we're due for a history lesson.

Luckily it's state charges, so any pardon on the federal level won't save him :)

ETA: That's why his cronies are trying to replace the DA in Georgia that indicted him. Hoping to replace her with someone who will just not prosecute

Right so we should ruin their credit scores so it gets harder to rent (yes rental agencies check) or buy a car (even if they get one, their interest rate will be super high). Better we just fuck people over since they can't afford a house, right?
