Three or four years at this point, so technically not including some of the ridiculous inflation, but the cost of living in that area has barely increased. Rent is $900 on average there right now, so if you’re pulling in 25 an hour you’re making plenty to live alone relatively comfortably
Yes. When I lived out there I would’ve killed for 25 an hour. I was making 7.50 an hour and with a roommate I lived pretty okay. At 25 I could’ve lived alone and still saved
It’s all relative. The “most generous so far” can still be a really low bar.
I was slightly exaggerating sure, but 25 an hour outside of a city is a lot of money.
Define “the US” because 25 an hour is living a life of luxury in much of the US that’s not a major city
Customers get charged for maintenance between the ISP and their house
They really don’t, customers get charged what they need to be charged to support the network, not just the last mile to your house. Companies don’t get internet connectivity for free, either, paying significantly more than consumers at every turn

I think until anyone in government sees consequences of their actions then nothing will change. If it’s used against them, maybe they’ll help legislate against it
I’d say luck will sometimes make you rich, and being good at what you do will sometimes make you rich. Being good at what you do and also lucky has more of a chance of making you rich
It’s *usually not entirely luck, you generally have to sort of know what you’re doing
Nope, it’s illegal in the US. File a complaint with the FTC and they’ll look into it.
So being recommended videos is bad now? Dam
That’s kinda the point
Oh man, the absolute horror of being told about new features! The absolute abject tragedy!
It was probably shown to you in a banner that looked like an ad that you closed out /s
I mean, I like being told about new features rather than needing to discover them myself twenty months after they came into existence
You can’t turn them into accomodations unless there’s at least one egress window in the bedrooms
Yeah but the basic “give me my subtitles for this specific movie” very likely still works just fine, because… that’s like the whole reason they exist
You just need to move to the new API, which is free, the old one is still available temporarily if you pay
I’m much younger than you think I am
