As an American, all I can say is thank you Europe for continuing to have sensible legislation that forces these companies to have decent policies worldwide if only to comply with EU laws. I only use Windows on my company provided laptop but just because I don't need to worry about it personally doesn't mean that I shouldn't care about how it affects others.

Bought the car just to get attention and you're getting the attention. I don't see the problem. You got exactly what you wanted. It's a fuck ugly car that's shit quality. You bought it just because you wanted to be noticed. Well, play dumb games, win dumb prizes.

The only problem I have with FedEx is that they routinely bait and switch me with delivery dates. Something will ship on Wednesday. I'll check the tracking on Thursday and it will say that it's coming Tuesday. Cool. On Sunday, they'll email me and say the package is going to be delivered on Monday. Then Monday comes and goes and the package is never on the truck for delivery and then they'll say it's delayed and coming Tuesday. Like why are you making yourself look bad? Don't tell me it's coming a day early just to then fuck that up. You're going out of your way to piss me off at that point.

UPS on the other hand will just tell me a package is coming on Tuesday and low and behold, there it is on the delivery truck on Tuesday.

and DEI

White women getting pissed about DEI is the craziest to me because they're the ones that benefited the most from DEI.

Good lord. They've looked at the last few years of crypto and thought..."Yeah, that looks like a good way to do things! What could go wrong?" What a ridiculous scam. The fact that the Cryptobros at /r/CryptoCurrency are excited tells me all I need to know that this is a scam.

It's also dumb to just assume that foreign companies can just flip a switch and start building/assembling whatever they sell in America. You need facilities, you need to hire employees, you need to train employees. You can't just pick up your factory, drop it in Kansas, and just slot people into the building to work it right away.

The problem is that there isn't a great replacement for it now. The same with reddit. I'm on here and I'm on Bluesky. The main uses I have for both Reddit and Twitter/X is sports news and discourse. Reddit for the discourse and Twitter for the news. There aren't the communities here to have that. I want to talk Orioles baseball but the Orioles community here literally has zero comments other than bot comments updating scoring updates/pitching changes during the game threads. I'm trying to do my part and comment/post stuff to them but without any actual responses or conversation it feels like yelling into the wind.

I was really disappointed that in Exterior Features there was Vinyl Siding listed but it wasn't also listed on the Interior Features. I would've lost it at that.

2020 for $4 billion.

But at this point, what kind of care are they actually going to get if they're too poor to move. They're fucked either way because God forbid we help people in need.

Excel. There's just basic stuff with LibreOffice and OnlyOffice that work like crap. Like why in LibreOffice when I type =sum then hit tab does it think I'm done with the formula instead of adding the ( and letting me put in the first input. It's awful.

Okay. Audit me. I have W-2 wages and take a standard deduction. Like why are every day people afraid of being audited.

And the tweet being shared is 2 days old in the screenshot too.

I think they were referencing Tom Morello calling out a critic about it. -- https://www.instagram.com/p/BcjjnBqAZOV/?utm_source=ig_embed

davez67 -- "Another succesful [sic] musician instantly becomes a political expert."

tommorello -- "@davez67 One does not have to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University to recognize the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honors grad in political science from harvard University so I can confirm that for you."

Either that, or they're an idiot.

McDonalds isn't a fast food company. They are a real estate investment company. Their former CFO said as much "we are not technically in the food business. We are in the real estate business. The only reason we sell fifteen-cent hamburgers is because they are the greatest producer of revenue, from which our tenants can pay us our rent." - Harry J Sonneborn

Just looks like a second confederate flag to me.

But every sector has been ravaged by the stock market changes.

You just don't know what you're talking about. The S&P 500 is up like 25% over the same period. You're just buying into specific sectors. Don't do that. Buy market index funds or target date funds and stop trying to actively manage your retirement account. Also, you haven't lost anything in value because you haven't realized the losses by cashing out. It's better for you currently if things are a lower price because you're buying them at a discount.

Even if we were thirsting over it, what's wrong with it? Apple makes some impressive silicon that's really efficient. The problem is that it's tied to their products and closed off. You can marvel at what they're doing on the production side while not liking their business practices.
