We should unionize and eat the useless managers.

Walking is great. There’s so much stuff to see and interact with. It’s better for businesses, too. Jacobs had this figured out in like the 1960s.

Good article.

I never see characters in games as “me”. I try to make someone hot or wacky. Often that’s a buff lady. Sometimes it’s “the biggest beard and hair I can get”.

With dial up, it felt like it was working. It was trying its best.

Now it feels like it’s bogged down with ads and tracking and bots.

We really should stop letting companies buy each other. In fact we should split the big ones up.

I started using bruno for lazy gui “make a request” needs.

But for anything serious python requests is right there, so I mostly used that for testing.

I will unilaterally decide.

First off, conservatives aren’t allowed to speak anymore.

That… that might be it. I might be done. Now everyone else can get to work building a better world.

I don’t understand how so many people played final fantasy 7 and the only lesson they seemed to take from the story is “tifa got big titties”

It’s not corporate owned. No profit motive to turn things to shit.

I never heard of Geese, but I only really use Lemmy for social media.

I prefer Fate’s system:

When you don’t like your roll, you can either reroll or take a flat bonus. Because Fate is a dice pool instead of flat-probability-1d20, if you do take the reroll to make up for an atrocious roll, you’re less likely to get another atrocious roll. Usually you just need the little bump to make a difference.

$4500 was in my head because that was the projected mortgage+taxes+fees for a 2BR apartment in brooklyn I saw the other day.

There are some apartments in NYC that are that expensive to rent. Average here is $3,650, but that’s skewed by a lot of stupid expensive places. Median is a little lower.

Other parts of the country can be much cheaper, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

You are also missing private retirement funds

Good call.

(and if car dependent 100/month seems very low for transit costs)

That’s a good point. I rely on mass transit, which is much cheaper.

Don’t blame the tool, blame the user 😁

I compare it to snapshot tests a lot. They’re similarly constrained by “good if used wisely” but most people don’t do that. It’s easier to use them extensively. That’s just how people are. They do the easy thing

I believe that really depends on where you live. Also did you mean net or gross?

Some napkin math I did now, if your gross is 100k…

After tax 75k

• housing 2500
• food: 250
• Internet 100
• phone: 40
• health: 200
• transit: 100
• utilities: 200

Edit: I fucked up and did 4500 for housing not 2500. Cheaper housing gives a lot more room!

That leaves you with like $860/mo for fun or any other thing.

Of course that’s a lot of assumptions that can change it. But I’d say 200k gross is the start of “don’t have to think too hard about money”

This physically hurt my stomach

Paying more money for better results doesn’t fit into the world view of many business decision makers.

How do you feel about people who refuse to use ride-share like Uber because it’s exploiting labor? I don’t want to give them any money because fuck them, but some of my friends say the drivers need money so refusing to use it is only hurting them.

Do you use either of them on android? The syncing between android and desktop is nice in vanilla Firefox

Firefox has been fine. I’ve thought about switching to one of the cooler forks but I haven’t gotten off my ass yet.

If I could get hired someplace else, I would go.

Sadly, everywhere either isn’t hiring or is frothing at the mouth over AI.
