not really that simple tbh. stock market is having insane performances despite high inflation and the USD relative to other major currencies have also been gaining, not losing despite the high inflation because it’s not the currency getting weaker it’s stupid trade war shit and price gouging

I have no dreams of buying a house (or even apartment) anymore, just rent4life baby

the way it generates vertical lift with the blades and it’s positioning on the frame + small/light body makes it super easy for it to lose balance and crash

I don’t know why when rich/important people fly in helicopters, EACH passenger doesn’t have a dedicated skydiver with a parachute ready to attach gear and jump out at any second

I mean ones efforts and energy is limited, doing whatever you think is most effective is the correct thing to do

It may be union stuff, it may be more party work

if there’s a legal requirement to delete the data, I’d try to take advantage of that

There’s like no countries with strong enough data laws that would guarantee full deletion

Afaik in the app there isn’t. I think the actual photo data bytes do get deleted but some other crap generated from the ML models ran on them stay. Databases are also constantly replicated and snapshotted multiple times for all Google services and I have no idea how long those last either

honestly I’d just give up on the union and dedicate more organizing time/efforts outside of work then

It actually baffles me. Canada has way worse social security nets than Germany and France, way less worker rights, way worse healthcare, way less affordable housing, but stronger economy

I guess Canada’s economy is just that much better and developed the trickle down is enough to make up the difference?

Wow Germany doing way worse than I expected and Canada a lot better than I expected

High end retail chain

Kim spreading his drip by allowing DPRKoreansn to code the Nordstrom data layer hell yea

Honestly I think they’re actually right on this one

China trades and tries to be friendly with lots of nations that are causing as much or more death and misery than Israel

They’re all under valued because China actually curbs harmful monopolies, extreme exploitation that is great for profits, and nationalizes troublesome companies

The best long term stability of value is an S&P 500 index

Success of US empire is not necessarily correlated with SPY performance

Makes sense tbh, climate change still isn’t really affecting the Western world at all which is what Westerners only care about

It’s actually so crazy how in just very recent years, we can clearly see what the division will be for World War III

Incredible too because US could’ve realistically had so many countries who are now 100% going to be China’s allies be neutral or possibly even on America’s side

Coding for a corporate where you don’t actually make a useful thing and every line of code only serves the purpose of making more profits is the most soul crushing shit ever

At least in retail I helped customers check out that cute crop top they wanted to wear

Quit and go make that thing

rip all suspects

state enterprises are becoming stronger in Russia

As the result of the Russian nationlists’ desire. I can’t see Russians participating in a violent revolution any time soon. They’re not really that unhappy with the state of things neither are they anywhere near an economic or social breaking point. The country seems to be steering more into a nationalist, heavily centrally planned/state owned capitalist country like Iran
