I'm a California restaurant operator preparing for the $20-an-hour fast-food wage by trimming hours, eliminating employee vacation, and raising menu prices
Sounds like what unions were meant to fight against.

Ohio voters add abortion rights to state constitution
It's being sold as abortion rights, but the language is pretty broad and supports everyone's reproductive rights. Yay human rights!

Better ban school too. I hear that's how kids find drug dealers.

Wait, you mean you don't like how algorithms and ads have evolved to almost be content at this point. You don't want a bunch of for-profit ads suggesting you buy things you don't need? Lol, you're not in it for the cash grab? :OOOOO WHAT!?!?!?!?!

How the 'lazy girl job' took over work
It's a prop to promote whoever-she-is's tik-tok channel. If you haven't been looking out for yourself and constantly overwork yourself... no shit you shouldn't be doing that. Anyone who's worked is attempting to optimize less work for more pay. My distaste is for the article, btw. To address your question, it's just rebranding like you suggested. Why come up with something new when you have the next generation's social media app and all the ideas that worked on your generation to fuel the channel?

Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?
Reply in thread
It could suck someday, but it doesn't suffer from the same things that made myspace -> facebook -> reddit suck. No money hungry executives profiting off underpaying employees to implement features no one asked for and selling astroturfing as a service. At least it doesn't seem that there's astroturfing as a service here yet.

How can people prevent the Dead Internet Theory from becoming our reality?
Reply in thread
That's been the meta for awhile. Anyone with a stake in something vehemently tries to discredit anyone's skepticism by calling them a conspiracy theorist. Manipulating high-traffic social media with bots likely pays well.

I just got prescribed Adderall!
Just don't forget where you've been getting your motivation from up to this point. It only gives you the energy to get those things accomplished, not the motivation to want to do them.

Don't forget the VERY innovative and generous 500 character limit they're enforcing. Wow. So much characters.

there is Indeed a problem

If you've got a degree, your institution's job boards are lightyears better than Indeed. Keep working on the personal projects though, they help once you have an interview. ^.^

What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials and Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working.

news is profit driven, so it literally always has someone's agenda behind it... (e.g. always propaganda) this appears to be corporate flavored

Lol, I tested this out live. Most people still like to 'disagree button and run.' I think it comes from the 'debate me bro' atmosphere that seemed prevalent on Reddit. A lot of folks would rather just show they disagree than expose their logic on why. This trend can then be manipulated by bots to strengthen the 'unspoken disagreement' with opinions that don't jive with whatever agenda they've been created to support. And rather than talking out disagreements a lot of them devolved into 'then just leave.' Or even more venomously as 'this community will be better when you're gone.' ^.^

On a more serious note... try to be a bit kinder to yourself today. You're not lazy, you're doing your damn best.
Lol, thanks for the reminder to pay the bill I already forgot I was reminded about today. xD

What are your thoughts on Instagram Threads?
You mean (definitely not Facebook) is releasing Twitter2^TM^ with a WHOPPING 500 character limit? So a company that's perpetually abused it's customers data is offering an alternative for castoffs from Reddit where they can serve you ads, limit your messages, and collect your data at the same time... in place of an already existent community driven instance of an open-source protocol / the ability to run my own instance? Fucking sign me up bro. Please Daddy Zuck, take it all! >:D

Lemmy is so good right now because there are no kids here

Upfront it's like that. You can still "make the wrong comment" and get attacked by people for extended periods of time who seem to have nothing better to do than dig through huge threads looking to argue with strangers who are already getting downvoted.
Edit: thankfully it's actually kind of fun having all of them argue with chatGPT.
