Most CFA locations are franchises, meaning employee treatment varies wildly. I was paid $8/hr and worked 73 hour weeks. By contrast, the location down the street from me advertises $18/hr.

Many of them, yes. They’re among the most radical of the leftist instances, which means that they attract a lot of propagandists and tankies. They have some perfectly reasonable people too, but you know, vocal minority. Its the main thing most people notice about those instances.
Many people block hexbear, Lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad for these reasons.
Prions are misfolded proteins that misfold other proteins they contact. They’re much harder to kill with heat or sanitizer and pretty much always fatal.
What is your budget and needs? Used thinkpads from a certain time period are very hardy, but they’re getting old enough now for performance to be an issue for anything beyond basic web browsing and word processing.
Framework also makes laptops with the explicit goal of being more repairable. Even if you decide not to work on it yourself, it would be trivial for a repair shop to fix most things that could go wrong.
Yes. Original hardware is a pain in the ass.
I want to play on my nice PC or steam deck, with save states, whatever gamepad I prefer, and an unlimited library.
Sort of. EVs are very fast off the line, but generally very heavy. It might be good for handing out speeding tickets on a freeway, but a pursuit on surface streets would probably not go as well.
It’s also a fairly tall EV. I bet if you slid into a curb or something, it’ll roll like Peppy Hare.
Assuming the thing worked as advertised and they get a VERY steep discount, it might be a good idea?
I’m not commenting on whether that’s true or not, but it isn’t how it works in the south. If you want to play high school soccer or whatever, you have to quality by doing well in middle school. Some places, middle school is competitive enough to warrant tryouts.
Extracurriculars are also rapidly getting more expensive. Too many parents want to pretend their kids are in the NFL or NBA or whatever.
Most of us do. A few people do sign up for variable rate plans, and they did get astronomical bills during the snowpocalypse. IIRC they didn’t get any aid or anything, it was a small enough number of people that they just got hung out to dry.
It’s also extremely common in the white community. They’re saying that his real name isn’t one that would cause someone to assume you are nonwhite, like Will Dewitt, Ashley Jones, or Casey Smith.
Kind of. “Gratuities” are legal, bribery is not, and presidents are immune for prosecution for acts undertaken as part of their duties.
A “gratuitity” must be made after the fact, which is still totally a type of bribery, but it isn’t the same as making all bribery legal as a blanket rule.
Presidents are now immune to prosecution, but only regarding official acts. The court refused to rule on what an official vs unofficial act is, basically meaning that they’ll decide whether something is legal or not when they feel like it. The obvious problem here is how heavily stacked the supreme court is, but they also didn’t just come out and say “fuck it, presidents have absolute power.”
Edit: To be clear, both of these rulings are absolutely fucking terrible. If our courts had any appropriate amount of oversight, the blatant corruption on display would be enough to see the court disbarred and indicted. They’re just not quite as bad as people describe on Lemmy.
As a service person, this sounds great. You actually tip your barber more than I do.
The only thing I think you didn’t account for is fancier bars with elaborate cocktails, which tbf most people do not frequent. I’d do 15-20% for those, simply because it’s more involved service and more involved drinks.
Not necessarily. You can live outside your means at any income level.
Also, children are fucking expensive.
Meters are fine too, they’re basically just yards.
Kilometers, degrees Celsius, and kilograms can fuck right off.
9-5 is definitely no longer standard, although traffic does get noticeably worse here after 8am.
That being said, what is their justification for 7-5? Unless you’re taking a 2 hour unpaid lunch, that’s mandatory overtime, which most companies aren’t super fond of paying.
The researchers found after the Dobbs decision there was an immediate increase of 58 sterilization procedures for women or about 5.31 procedures a month per 100,000 people. This is nearly double the previous rate of 2.84 procedures per month for women.
Supposedly not a large increase in vasectomies, which I find strange. I got mine done lol
Well they said “all”, so more like " the gang causes a massive global financial collapse."
Not all economic problems are a recession. Consumers are facing significant issues right now, but the overall economy is doing well.
Our issue is that all that wealth is mysteriously staying in the hands of large corporations.
Average car price before the pandemic was about $38k. By 2023, it was $49k.
The trend has been ongoing for a long time due to general inflation and a growing preference for SUVs, but it went fucking bananas during the pandemic, and auto manufacturers have taken advantage.
That’s been the case for at least the past couple of decades. The massive price increases have been over the past 4 years.
I was up to 14 at age 25. When you’re young and inexperienced, any schmuck that will pay you and be slightly less abusive than the last guy is worth working for, and you never owe the last person anything.
