Show me what slimed you.
It’s a pic of a lotto ticket. No, I’m not sharing the pic. Yes I am upset I die from winning the lotto.

The era of 15GB free Gmail storage is ending (Update: Google responds)
Anyone else remember when Google bragged about never being worried about storage as you watched your storage free count, grow and grow and grow.

If you want to host something on a Raspberry Pi, you should consider using literally any other piece of hardware
I love to hate claims like this. it’s like a fart, but ends up being a shart. No truth in the source and unjustified noise and grumbles that leaves a mess and confuses people for no reason.
Do yourself a favor, either cite links that legitimize your claims or just sign off, you’re hangry.

Republicans ask the Supreme Court to disenfranchise thousands of swing state voters | A new Supreme Court case could potentially hand Arizona to Donald Trump.
Just think, if democrats manage a nice blue wave and fail to even acknowledge bipartisan support, this could just be a Death rattle of a dying group. Don’t get complacent, vote. And if you’re in Arizona, make sure you can vote!

He took it literally
Don’t talk to the cops. Say you want a lawyer and will remain silent. They are not your friend. They have zero interest in “your side” of the story and only wish to gather info to arrest you. Once you’re arrested you are someone else’s problem and they don’t care.
In case you didn’t see it. DONT’T TALK TO COPS.

Fuck software that easily could have a setting but doesn't
Uhhh…. Yes it does. I live in Spain and speak English, I’m not signed in, it’s down at the bottom of their page under settings or it will ask you like you see below. No vpn needed. And for apps on your phone it uses the regional setting, but most you can choose the default language in app settings.

How much is that remote job worth to you? Americans will part with pay to work from home
No we won’t and this nonsense article tries to set a very bad precedent. I was dealing with this just yesterday, new job offer comes my way last month with 2 salary choices. Come in the office for 20% more pay, work from home for less. I’m already making the higher amount with my current job, working from home. So I pass, They counter and offer other perks, I pass. This goes on for 9 days now. Yesterday, I just told them to stop, I have zero interest in working with a company that tries every way to hire me except for what I ask for.
I might add that the financials of the company were north of a billion. Get paid for what you’re worth, not where you work.

U.S. government spent more on health care in 2022 than six countries with universal health care combined
I feel vindicated. Not 15 days ago I complained about paying more in taxes AND health insurance. And I’ve been saying it for over a decade. Fuck private healthcare, it serves no purpose for the people.

there is Indeed a problem
Well, problem 1 is using indeed. What an obsolete site for most places. But i get the joke.
Not that prospects are much better elsewhere. Like LinkedIn for instance with their “click here for instant apply” and then you see that you’re one of 50 people (today) to apply for this open role and some AI in the background estimated based on your profile that you have 22% chance of getting the job BUT if you pay for premium you can knock that 22% up to 50% and an AI writes you a better profile…
I really do feel sorry for the crap the boomer gen and even my generation (genx) has left every generation after.

The mask ban shit is unreal.
Let me fix that for you doc: Signs you shouldn’t eat at a restaurant because it’s likely unsafe, getting banned from entering because you’re wearing a mask.

And zero penalty for the host. They only need to claim property damage. I’ve been burned twice by this, and once drove up anyway and the host rented it out on a diff platform for 3x. I played stupid and the guy told me he rented it through vrbo, the day before. I showed him my reservation that now showed canceled as of the day before.

New Hampshire is first state to require doctors to sterilize patients who request it
It shouldn’t be all that difficult to get this done, but it was. As a male in my 30s living in Texass, you would have thought I was asking them to murder someone. I had my 3 children, which was 3 more than I ever wanted. I love them, but I never wanted kids. And my doctor tells me I’m too young to stop. Legit 60 days I had to wait to “prove” I was still intending to get unreversible (at the time) surgery.

After 40, we just don't sleep
After 40? Lmfao. People, just take the time to care for yourself. Eat balanced meals, don’t over eat, stop watching TV all the time and go for a walk.
Take it from someone nearing 50 who took gluttony to the max by 35. I feel better today, than I ever did in my younger adult years because I stopped being a typical american.

Homeland Security has reportedly sent out hundreds of subpoenas to identify ICE critics online
Fuck ICE and the little dick Donald Trump. Arrest everyone with proven ties to epstine, and destroy the checkbooks of every single billionaire by taxing them.
Signed pretty much EVERY FUCKING MENTALLY SANE AMERICAN.

Disapproval of Elon Musk is top reason Tesla owners are selling, survey says
Leased a tesla MS in 2017 because I knew 250mile battery was not going to be the max in 2020 and guessed 350mile was possible (i was right). Right around then Elon came out as a conspiracy twat, so I was more than happy to turn my car in when he went full right wing twat.
3 years on, I’m the proud owner of an ebike with a few thousand miles on it, created by a company not owned by a twat. My insurance is $50 a month and my uber rides fall far below anything I spent monthly on my insurance and lease payment ($1300 or so). Helps to work from home and live 5 miles from most places I need to go to or from the public transit.
Honestly, had he kept his insane ideas to himself I might still own that car or it’s newer version. I do miss it, but I just can’t support people like that. Also, 3 years on I don’t miss the car payments…

Accounting is Happiness
I did the math in the USA. When I was married with kids my effective rate for a the highest year was 52%. My last year as a single male and all kids over 26, it was 46%. Effective, not marginal, because that matters in the USA as we don’t track those “other salary deductions” for taxes. Effective for those ready to argue include stupid shit like deductibles, copays, uncovered care, out of network care (that happens more than you think with kids). one year we spent 40k (max. In network deductible) because one of my kids had a spiral fracture of his leg on a growth section that had he not endured 3 (THREE) surgeries, he would be left side shorter. That was 190k for all surgeries and 40k out of pocket. Dental, HSA, FSA, Vision, Medical… People need to realize that even though its pre tax, you’re still paying for it and that needs to be considered for effective rate.
I was offered a job in Denmark, so I know this for fact: Denmark was a near match at marginal rate to USA effective rate assuming I never needed critical care in the USA (i would be in debt). BUT, Denmark has effective tax rates in the 40% for those making less than 85k (USD). I think there’s a rich person tax above that at 49%, but I never accepted the job because my Ex wife was a shithead so I didn’t find out.
I’m now in spain paying around 47% effective, but get Beckhams law will make that be 24% at tax time for the next 10 years. After that I need to pay like everyone else and at 10 years I get a pension (small one) for spain.
So yes, Americans pay more. Waaaaay more.
