I mean that actually was one of the things that made them so great. Tracking, arrival timer and an easy app.
Literally those being things that the taxi companies had to push to replicate is a good thing it’s a shame we had to give up the idea of properly funded labor and job protection to get it.
Honestly. Probably not as big a deal as we would hope. America runs in debt. It’s the economic battery that’s used to power the purchasing power of the nation itself even if it’s not a great idea it does hyper charge the government of oligarchs pretty well.
And, with massive soars in Cost Of Living I would bet it’s mostly by the same percentages that the debt is raising even if it’s closer to real inflation and not the lower stated values.
People are incentivized to spend beyond their means cause the forever debt feels cheaper than paying for it up front which makes you then a consistent battery of debt paying back more as you hopefully hit peak production.
The problem for sure is that there is no exit on the other side. And with astronomical costs and no clear way to exit the debt likely you end up to old and still fucked.
The debt is a feature not a bug but will absolutely cause instability if not checked. This might still not be truly in the red yet though.
Dying at work is the end they want for their workers. Especially if there’s a pension.
I see you have also read Boeing’s retirement study and plan.
Isn’t the whole point that you aren’t supposed to compress it cause it will force you to overheat the flower to try and get the THC making it essentially the same as burning it?
Seriously they recommend either using the teeth to cut a piece right from the nug or sucking on it like a straw to make sure their is air flow for the oil to vaporize properly.
This seems backwards.
Usually it’s a badly designed heat sink that’s meant to cause an eventual short so that it has to be replaced. Or just shoddy low material builds. LEDs really can last an obscene amount of time and they don’t die another part does.
LOL I hate those TVs too but don’t mind when I get to install like just a good menu or informational directory. Key word good. But I’m just supposed to make a thing that works and looks good for the 11 seconds of your attention we expect to have of you.
The worst part is that I don’t even make good money really. Just slightly more than a regular office job and I got here from doing my passion at the time of advanced robotic screens. But they are all hyper niches that are like impossible to move around or within.
But yeah gotta figure out what fulfilling means these days.
They absolutely were and It’s a little gross how much they just look from afar and go " Yeah, but our parents never loved us really."
Dude same and you aren’t doing much better, and I will never own a house so fuck off.
If you are wealthy enough a lot of young people are in their “Daddy” phase of looking for older men they think have life figured out and are financially stable enough to fund their over expectant idea of what their lives should be like?
So you know… Got that going for you.
Gameification and weird cryptic terms like “high value”.
Oh man have you seen that ad that is all about how it’s a dating site only for “high value” people called like Elite Singles or some bullshit.
Literally they make it seem everyone is literally some Sherlock type when most people that think they are, are much more likely Lastrade except hyping crypto more.
I think everyone is just looking for a way to pretend harder that nothing is wrong and if they grind their face against the wheel a little harder they will be finally able to be good enough off to not think about it all. It seems miserable.
Porn. Always good for the money.
I help setup ad placement TVs for resort style businesses.
Studied theoretical astrophysics and astro xenobiology as a double advanced major…
My boss used to brag he managed to get the astronaut in his team so, I am useful for facts and puzzles.
God I hate my existence.
Oh that’s funny. I still see these things installed in some buildings but it’s not like I ever saw anyone bother with the “premium water” but also now sodastream is getting in on it for I think a higher cost actually…
Ugh. Please let this whole concept of selling tap water die.
We just aren’t all seeing that it’s worth it to rip all the material out of the planet. Craft it a great expense into complex machines and burn our very ancestors for fuel.
So that a speech to text bot that takes imagined assumptions at exponentially more power can write an email that could be done by a person who could also do more complex tasks or hell even fetch a coffee.
Tech bros just trying to figure out why it’s a good thing to get rid of people they just don’t like from being around them and make it seem like a good thing. And I say that as someone that likes tech and often doesn’t like people.
This is so stupid.
Oh for sure it’s a super unstable bad idea but it works really well for a short time for those at the top. We really are just riding that edge out of hubris from those in charge.
What? Nothing you said doesn’t change the fact that what you think is happening isn’t.
I truly don’t even understand what this is trying to say.
Sezzle and Affirm now too. Also Four, Afterpay and whatever that like weird Amazon sponsored one is that sorts is Amazon pay but isn’t.
There are a fucking lots of buy now, pay later apps these days.
Also side note: And yeah the credit debt is actually in check because it’s kinda the battery that powers the economy of the United States.
As long as people can still make minimum payments that is.
But seriously it has the spending power as a country as it does mostly because of the sorta guaranteed debt payments from the general populace. It’s why it loves people that generate huge debts and pays them back poorly. People like Trump and just upper middle class putting 10s-100s of thousands on debt are viewed as financially great for a reason.
Well if the business is raising its prices on all products because of card processers then you would be the fool paying for it without getting the 5% back.
They get their money mostly from interest rates and other means. It doesn’t mean stores don’t occasionally raise prices because of processing fees but that’s not part of some grand conspiracy.
Walmart offers it too. They really are pushing the app lately too which offers a few companies so you can max out one and use another.
Ahh money. The only thing you need to win.
Agreeing with the people that have the money is just the best way to get more.
