Because the stock market isn’t a measure of how well a country is operating. On the contrary, deregulation allows companies to boost profit via harmful means. Rich people got it good under Trump/Republicans and therefore the stock market thrives until disaster strikes and it all comes crashing down.

Not to downplay the rest of her accomplishments but can’t you essentially buy your way onto the F30U30 list?

This shit sucks so fucking bad. I’m being radicalized against Israel from my living room on the order side of the world. If I were there you could bet that I’d be itching to join some kind of resistance.

How do you differentiate between the countless anonymous users who know for certain one way or another? And why would you trust their opinion over that of your vet?

Edit: Stop booing me, I’m right.

Ah yes, as we all know every Lemmy user is also a moonlighting cat nutritionist. Glad you came and asked here, your vet probably doesn’t know what they’re talking about!

I’m a senior software dev that uses AI to help me with my job daily. There are endless tools in the software world all with their own instructions on how to use them. Often they have issues and the solutions aren’t included in those instructions. It used to be that I had to go hunt down any references to the problem I was having though online forums in the hopes that somebody else figured out how to solve the issue but now I can ask AI and it generally gives me the answer I’m looking for.

If I had AI when I was still learning core engineering concepts I think shortcutting the learning process could be detrimental but now I just need to know how to get X done specifically with Y this one time and probably never again.

Objects like an unbreakable stick are still composed of atoms suspended in space and held together by the fundamental forces of nature. When you push on one end, the other end doesn’t immediately move with it but rather the object experiences a wave of compression traveling through it. This wave of compression travels faster than we can perceive but still cannot travel faster than light.

Look up why arrows bend after they’ve been released by a bow, it’s essentially the same mechanic.

I can’t pick a favorite. Every day I’ve got a different song stuck in my head so whatever that is I suppose. I’ll say, Andrew Bird whistles a lot in his music and whenever he’s on I’ll whistle along with him.

I can whistle really well

“Also, that’ll be $200”

I’ve had plenty of really good craft beer but anything mass produced is fine at best and gutter water at worst.

That is until you learn that space spiders are invisible

And somehow USPS can still pay their couriers more.

Zero. I used to have a fried egg for lunch every day but many years ago something switched in my brain and now the flavor of them really puts me off.

Please! We’re in dire need of consequences.

I’ll take “things actual vegans never say” for $500!

Generally, I believe the convenience of cheap shit delivered to your door comes at the invisible cost of exploitative labor practices and/or excessive consumerism by the means of low quality crap that will need to be replaced regularly or through “buy more and save” deals. If you want to avoid supporting that, you’re probably going to have to spend a few extra bucks buying from a smaller business or buying secondhand.

Convenience isn’t free and if we want to reduce our dependence on harmful institutions we’re going to have to make some sacrifices.

Easy fix, don’t buy from Amazon.
