Our local paper just did a story on this this morning. Only 44% of full time workers here make a living wage due to the low wages.

$7.25 minimum wage still exist here in this state while across the river its more than $15

Good catch

Bluesky users really seem to not understand what the platform actually is, coming from a user myself that actually enjoys it. You already have the ability to adjust your feeds as well as create your own and use some made by others so no need to use the optional app. Most of those feeds are publicity editable too so you can change what others users see in their “For You” feed. It’s probably the most transparent around while also being pretty easy to hijack what someone sees if they think it’s just some standard social media site of 5 years ago. Added some screenshots of oen of the sites that shows the public info of what is in different People’s for you page

It goes up by the day and there were already naval ships enroute before Tripoli and Boxer were called. This was just on Friday them preparing another 10,000 troops making it close to the 50,000 part of "Operation Epic Fury "

Protection for the troops a month after starting the war and 13 of the nearby bases destroyed… there doesn’t even seem to be a plan on where to place these additional 50,000 troops arriving within the next 2 weeks other than leaving them as sitting ducks in ships. There was never a plan … they are winging it I really hope everyone is realizing this. If it wasn’t for some of the naval commanders already saying no to the madmen on bringing our ships closer to shore for an invasion so far, the number of casualties would be alot higher on both sides.

GOOD. Bubble grew a bigger hole letting the air out. Disney removed their $1B investment so let’s hope more do too in the near future to keep ripping that hole wider, yes.

Apparently this has been going on for a while but The Verge started sounding the alarm 3 months ago. They know most people won’t read more than a couple sentences past a headline if they even open the article at all. Confirmation bias is about to go wild

? I’m not right wing nor close to it. I’m just responding to the post of the truth social screenshot, from what I’ve seen he’s shared over a dozen different AI videos on that same platform that were fake realities. Stephen Miller to me is the equivalent of Heinrich Himmler, who was the brain of the Nazi Regime in its worst while being the right hand man of Hitler. Im sure it’s easy to make trump belive any video was a nearly 80 tear old man liek all the other seniors that fall for AI on the daily, we have no clue the Intel they fees him that makes him more evil by the day

Those around him have to be showing him AI videos, every reaction of his to clips of something happening are so detached of what’s going on. This isn’t new but becoming more and more blatant by the day

They like this until he accidentally leaks something classified like the idiots that would upload their “Day in the life of” videos typing in pincodes and passwords and the wrong person sees it or goes back to see it an old video. Some horrible long term thinking for a software security team to allow

Given the example and you mentioning should not be dating at your ages, are we sure these people actually are the “17 year old guy” and not either creeps of funnels to get people looking for people those ages? Your friends should try is possible to look more in person within school than strangers on whatever app/site they are using.

To answer your question though, some people don’t consider there being much of a connection online and there being the entire city as your potential options that ghosting isn’t looked at as an issue on their end as they were never commited enough to the conversation to begin with. There are a lot of bots as well so there may have never been a person there you’re talking to. I personally hate the apps but am actively looking to date and its a unsettlingly common experience to get ghosted after meeting someone I’m person once or twice as there testing the waters in their eyes or looking for a happy ending so I’d rather just use them sparingly.

Monitor the trend and avoid contact of whatever the birds frequently sit on

Its definitely a big uptick here in my city since the week before Christmas and it was way more apparent with the amount of sick people still trying to commute to work with public transit today after the holidays have ended. Also directly dealing with about 80/20 sick people atm with my job, seems meds are the main thing people are wanting expressed atm.

sigh NetMax? /s

There’s many other things to try than looking at liposuction. Please talk to a doctor, and if that doctor recommends liposuction without trying to address why your feeling addicted to food then try another doctor, at least 3 opinions before a surgery like that. You may have a legit addiction to certain chemical reactions within certain foods like some do with the doritos powder, or you could have a deficiency which may make you crave lets say extremely fatty foods when it’s really one of the micronutrients that your body is craving that’s from said food that’sin a low quantity. Every body is different. An example I get dehydrated kinda easily regardless of the amount of water I drink while also not feeling that thirsty that leads random spasms that make me realize Im dehydrated. That issue is from salt regulation so I have to add salt to my water or drink those European high mineral content waters. Dad and granddad have the same issue so it’s genetic.

This feels like it’ll go the HBO Max, wait Max, no HBO Max, dibocal route

With another AI talk to try to hype up consumers in the article, I wouldn’t be surprised this thing is pretty much like a Chromebook that has to call servers to do much things… Still sticking to older tech

Debt, lots of accumulating debt.

In and out hands down. Wish we had them on the east coast. For this coast I’d say Shake shack if I’m truly craving a fast food type of burger. Sonic’s double quarter pounder is great for the price but there aren’t any close in my city so mainly a quick go to when traveling. Chili’s has yet to disappoint me if you’ve got an extra 10 minutes to wait or pre-order while on your way to pickup, so wouldn’t conser it fast food.
