Interesting how the fugitive fascists all end up seeking safety in the US.... wonder why that is all of a sudden.

6 mos into owning a Samsung TV, I started getting ads.

So I put a pihole on my network which fixed it but I also started seeing the ENORMOUS amount of times ALL my samsung devices were being blocked. I'm talking THOUSANDS per day per device. Like the TV would be blocked 1,200 times in one day, my samsung smartphone would also be blocked 1,000+ times per day while my wife's iphone that she uses for every and all social media was being blocked maybe 100 times.

Since then I've never bought another Samsung device and hooked an apple tv up to my Samsung TV while disconnecting the tv from the internet. It's fucking disgusting how you buy their product and still get milked for data/money.

Jeffries already been bought off after his private meeting with Kushner the other day.

If 90% of the country is unemployed they'll work for us and we increase the UBI they pay us.

Or we have a very abrupt reordering of things.

Let me state first that I LOVE my kids and enjoy every second with them.

That being said, if you realized you don't like having kids after the fact then misery loves company and kids are A LOT of work and expense.

With that weird laugh though????

Oh damn I thought it just hit me on desktop where I only use reddit still. Are they that desperate to save their stock price as to force people to log in? I can't create a new account as they get banned but my wife absolutely 100% reads reddit and will not use an account. That's some anti-consumer shit if I've ever seen it.

Wow I just hit this too. Admittedly I still hop on reddit since Lemmy can "run out" of content from time to time (or maybe I'm new with few communities idk).

Anyways, after they banned my 14 year account, then immediately some old alt accounts, took away old reddit without an account, and now THIS? I mean this is over the top. They're saying NO ONE anywhere can read reddit on desktop (coming soon to mobile!) without an account?

They must be desperate to up DAU. I don't think I've ever created an account just to piss away time on a website.

We were paying double daycare until recently. While it was never inexpensive, it was more manageable when our daycare center was locally owned. Then Kindercare came in and bought 80% of daycares in my major city. When we tried changing daycares we found that many daycares not explicitly named Kindercare were still under the Kindercare umbrella but retained their old name. I guess they caught on.

As SOON as the corporate takeover was complete they started increasing rates 8% per year BEFORE we had high inflation, instituted mandatory annual fees just to enroll, and mandatory fees for supplies that we use to be able to bring but now they charged us MORE than the supplies cost and they were super shitty quality items. So if you wanted to bring in supplies for your kid, you still got to pay the fee for supplies but then also had to buy the non shitty quality ones and bring them in.

To the point of the topic though, what pissed me off the most was that even though we paid 3k/month for two our center started bleeding employees because they simply wouldn't pay them anything. So what this meant is veteran teachers left for more pay and new ones were only there long enough to get experience.

Now f’elon seems to be ramping up the boring company as the next round of “ipo my company and use Tesla (and now spacex) to buy its shares.”

I ducked into grad school thinking it’d help.

Then it was a single skill I picked up on my undergraduate that landed me a job. From there I just pick up experience where I can and take on responsibilities of higher jobs and then apply to those jobs elsewhere.

It took me 2 years to start making more than 80% of my graduate professors and 7 to make more than all of them.

From what I heard one project was putting plants in front of the elevators lol.
