Well you sound like someone who’s completely out of touch with reality so I figured your must literally be in the most dire of straits, suffering more than the rest of humanity because milk costs a buck more than it did in the 2000’s

Humanity is hurting worldwide, there is a major war taking place in two areas of the globe following a global pandemic. Seas are going to be choppy for a bit. But you have it better than everyone else. The situation is literally the best it can be right now.

And make the most of it, you have a tremendous advantage. A historic low unemployment rate, highest wage growth and demand for blue collar workers ever. If you’re not in a great situation, remember you’re a free agent always and the market has never been hotter for you.

And I pointed out that wages actually did go up, moreso than any other country on the planet. Then pointed out that inflation has been the lowest of any country as well! And cited it! Yet that is not good enough. No one has had it easier than Americans following the pandemic.

Your feelings are not matching up with reality. Your situation might suck, idk but the overall situation is comparatively better than everywhere else.

Isn’t that the point I was making?

As compared to what? The inflationary rates of the rest of the world? Because things cost more everywhere and comparatively the US weathered that better than about anywhere else. Real Wages have also have increased a lot to compensate in comparison as well. US is smoking other countries in this regard. People ARE dumb because they lack the critical thinking skills to actually look what’s going on.

The Inflation rate is lower than most other countries AND real wages have risen much more in America compared to peer countries as well. Each one of them would trade their numbers with the US in a heartbeat.

Feelings aren’t facts, turns facts are facts. And the fact is when measuring real numbers Biden has absolutely crushed it.

As an American it’s equally annoying how people cannot fucking see what a great job Biden has done overall. Land of the Free, Home of the Dumb

Sometimes having those privacy extensions make you a lot easier to fingerprint.

Houses are pretty great for a few factors

• Not sharing a wall with a neighbor
• being able to be louder in general
• Not being woken up by neighbors
• Not getting your home infested with bugs because of having a nasty neighbor
• No loud honking at night
• Not having your door accidentally knocked on to ask if your apartment neighbor is home when they’re not answering their door
• Parking in your own garage
• Having a yard for your dog/kids to play in

Apartments fucking suck in so many ways. I get that they’re pretty handy in City Skylines where everyone bases their urban planning experience from but there is a reason people prefer to live in house and it’s because it gives you separation from other people in a way apartments cannot.

I enjoy Lex’s longform style but man he does nothing journalistic, which drives me crazy. He’ll ask a hard question but never pushes back on answer cause he’s concerned about being friends with everyone moreso than actually challenging someone’s PR answer that never exists in reality.

When your topic is AI, and it’s at the forefront of national attention you’re pretty useless if you don’t have the stones to actually challenge these pie in the sky type answers the regulars give on his show.

Altman “It’s going to make money useless and probably result in massive unemployment. But I think everyone should have some say in the development in AGI and how we handle it.”

Lex “Wow that’s so noble. Anyways, do you think we can have AI friends someday.”

Like you don’t have to be mean or rude but you gotta have the courage to press some of these guests on their bullshit.

Mostly true in normal cases. If you’re really talented there is a market for you, always. Idk if he falls in the category, and most cyber criminals have no shot at white hat anything but given his age and his feats I think he might be an exception.

Should be the default option

Yeah even shows I’m not into have a mark of quality that definitely is appealing to others interests. As is typical with Apple, they focus on quality over quantity. Haters hate, and there is plenty to be critical of, but Apple gives a fuck about quality much more than a lot of their competition.

I didn’t know either so I looked it up, apparently it was the first detected radio pulsar, briefly thought to be an extra terrestrial transmission…and later used on Joy Division album cover: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSR_B1919%2B21

First rule of Arch Linux is you defintely talk about Arch Linux

Tbh I’m fine with hackers wrecking the stupid micro transaction companies.

It’s a bass, a common musical phish!

Pretty normal to get hostile when someone gets hostile with you. Exact opposite reaction on the same Reddit thread, underscoring the point that OP is making.

Same, not at first but seems like the mega assholes breed here like rabbits.

Lmao I know you are trying to help but this is Lemmy in a nutshell to a T hahaha. Yeah that word needs retired for sure but man, put it in a dm lol.

Yeah it fucking sucks. Every response is political and hyper hostile, like damn I get it capitalism and the USA have caused some issues but man I am just asking about Taco Bell’s new menu item.

Tried posting about an obscure issue with the latest Steam Deck update and oh my god 1) I was attacked for being wrong, Valve doesn’t make mistakes ever and 2) I don’t understand how dev pipelines work (I work in IT dev for a Fortune 100 company haha)

Posted the same thing on Reddit and the response was like hey thanks for the heads up and then helped people affected by the issue get to resolution.

Lemmy as a community truly is super fucking bitter and it sucks. Hope it changes, Fediverse is a cool idea and I am so down for a Reddit replacement but not if it is gonna be an asshole factory.
