I just take Marques for what he is - normie entertainment tech channel.
All marketing hype associated with Apple is always to be taken with a grain, nay, a shovel of salt.
I do love having to give a 2 paragraph disquisition of caveats about how I didn’t vote for either major party candidate in 2016 or 2020, before I can make literally any comment on either of these people or the current state of US politics, lest I be downvoted into oblivion or accused of being an evil Repub shill.
Ironically when we do this on Lemmy we are qualifying ourselves to a cohort of mostly people who didn’t vote at all, or aren’t even Americans.
You know it is pretty bad when a bunch of CNN commentators think he got smoked.
He even went out of his way to compliment the ridiculous amount of work Howard put in, and his art etc. Dude should consider it a win to even get a red marked up paper back from an actual respected scientist. That in itself is a pretty cool achievement.
Everyone who works a white collar job for a medium or large company should have access to a 401k or some other investment vehicle but I understand that many can’t afford to fully utilize those benefits even if those benefits are available. The exec class gets richer as their portfolios gain value, as they tend to get compensatory stock. Everyone else takes an “L” to make that happen.
A rank-and-file accountant or developer can still set themselves up for retirement but they have to start early and be extremely aggressive.
I agree that with inflation, there are perverse incentives created. Most peoples jobs do not have any guarantee of annual raises, performance based or cost of living based. Effectively you are taking a pay cut each year due to inflation. This passively makes every company environment worse, because the only way to gain compensation is to jump ship to another job. Those who are capable and motivated will try to parlay every job into a better job within 6 months, and that makes it impossible to build up capabilities and culture. It effectively makes everyones job suck more, whether you stay or leave.
Cocaine Mitch has largely stepped aside and John Boehner literally hasn’t been speaker since 2015.
Shouldn’t this thumbnail show Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuckles Schumer, or Nancy “totally valid investment strategies” Pelosi?
This summarizes it pretty well. Two things can be true at once. Reddit sucks ass and I haven’t gone back since the API changes. Simultaneously, the default Lemmy experience is extremely offputting to all but certain subcultures. Not everyone is a antiwork activist, Arch Linux evangelist, open socialist, or actively transitioning. Totally fine that all these groups have their communities, but it gets kinda old seeing 90% of the feed filled with these topics.
Still a better UI experience than Vista
Most expensive? Oh I dunno, Tony Gonzales just had to spend like $10m to barely beat a YouTube memelord by less than 1000 votes.
The fact they even acknowledged it is … Surprising? Most big US companies seem to be opting for that awkward in-between space where they feel obligated to recognize it but sure as hell don’t want to give people the day off. The result is some execs admin assistant sends out a boilerplate email about how important the holiday is in our company culture, blah blah blah, also you don’t get the day off, get back to work peons, etc.
Unfortunately no “SWAG” type stuff. If you’re in the US, the majority is spent on entitlements, servicing debt, and the defense budget. In that order.
Or it is just an extremely common retro style motif dating to the 70s/80s, color coordinated with the base device color schemes, with no particular intended political meaning whatsoever.
Occam’s razor is a useful blade.
No he won’t. He’s an idiot and it is a horrible idea.
You’re already legally required to manually register with the selective service if you are male and you turn 18.
Why not just introduce legislation to end that requirement altogether.
Problem is… by that definition, pants beltloops are also machineguns because you can bumpfire just as easily from those, and through exactly the same combined “mechanical function”.
Just make an “open class” where any identification, body mods, and performance enhancing drugs are unregulated. The best athletes that science can create.
People have gotten in the habit of cheering on court rulings based on outcome, rather than any defining principles. I’ve been trying to encourage people to imagine the shoe is on the other foot and their political enemies are in charge, before contemplating expansion of federal powers.
Not a lawyer but I would assume any that were registered through that mechanism are on the NFA registry. If you have your paperwork and the stamp, it is legally a registered SBR (whether you paid $200 or $0 for it). Might as well put a normal stock on it at that point.
What a joke. She has less than zero chance. No charisma. Her initial campaign struggled to raise money. She had to drop out before the primary in her own state. Black voters in her state largely viewed her as a narc. Her approval polling is consistently terrible… She has similar approval ratings as colorectal cancer.
