  • May the 4th be with you, friends.

  • I hated TLJ. I grew up on the OG and saw the awful prequels in theatres despite knowing they were bad.

    Too much bad writing. Too many plot holes. Too many monumental changes to how the universe works.

  • Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation.

    Jump

  • I've seen this happen to multiple people. Join a startup with good perks, listen to the siren song of "the stock price will go up!" while the owners are out getting offers for their shares, then the owners sell out or the company tanks and you're left with nothing despite having millions just a couple years ago on paper.

    The key is to sell out once you have enough that it makes enough to impact your life. 500k or more is enough to escape poverty for almost anybody for life.

    Even if you just sold it as it vested you would probably be better off.

  • Dont Ever Listen To Those Who Claim "Voting is Pointless"

    Jump

  • I don't really think that's the case. If you live in an exceptionally partisan area then there's little impact to voting.

  • Fox viewers STILL imagine that foreign exporters will simply reduce their profit margins to 0, or even go into debt, for the privilege of selling trinkets to Americans.

    Jump

  • I don't think going into a fox news comment section is going to give you any useful info. The thing seems like it's full of the "people of facebook" combined with a shitload of bots and trolls. I don't think it's representative of literally anybody.

  • Some Grammaticial voices.

  • Do you believe in the power of a curse?

  • Karoline Leavitt boasts Trump wouldn’t hesitate to arrest SCOTUS justices

  • I know quite a few spanish speaking people here who are hyper conservative. In general latin america is a greatly more conservative place than the US, so it's kind of amazing seeing the conservatives here targeting them.

    Poorer immigrants usually work in conservative spaces for poverty wages especially if they are not fluent in English, but the conservatives want to kick them out and start the white breeding programs to get some more white homegrown poverty cases going in red states.

  • Terrified Trump flees tariffs war after CEOs’ ‘empty shelves’ warning

    Jump

  • When I hear people be all nationalistic in regards to their planned expenditures I never expect them to really bite the bullet.

    Experiments like this are why I doubt i'm wrong. https://afina.com/blogs/news/made-in-usa

    People en masse don't care about where something is made, they care about how much they are paying for it, assuming both products are of identical quality. I don't doubt that many will simply avoid spending money altogether. I doubt there are many out there willing to voluntarily pay more just for a made in X badge.

  • Check your clothes labels, personal electronics, appliances, fabrics, salt, medical devices, medicines, customer support lines for major businesses, networking equipment...

    I'm not canadian and i'm certainly not a dumpy supporter but realistically what the fuck would you ever want to buy from the US that is actually made 100% in the US anyway?

  • By that you mean you're buying indonesian, vietnamese, chinese, ecuadorian... and probably a ton more imported things because nobody really manufactures much of anything in USA or Canada outside of a handful of things that are costly to transport.

  • Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move - ServeTheHome

    Jump

  • because tons and tons of potential solutions exist. At the core of this class of product is a very simple computer that costs next to nothing. FOSS software exists to accomplish the same goal and for minimal cost someone can compete with them.

    Synology doesn't really control anything. In the enterprise segment they tend to be tiny little offerings that are on the small end of SMB. Their bigger bulkier enterprise stuff is easily overshadowed by any real enterprise offering from a larger hardware company, though i've seen some exist even in larger orgs but it's not because something else couldn't have done the job.

    Anyone starting fresh has to do some work to catch up but it really depends on the use case. Basic NAS/DAS functions are so trivial.

  • The true American social classes

    Jump

  • vacations are more for new experiences, new food, new cultures, new people. Not just “consumer behaviors”.

    This. I haven't gone to multiple countries in latin america for weeks to just buy shit. The food in lima is some of the best i've ever had, just don't go alone for safety :P

    Elon Sounds Extremely Depressed After Tesla Profits Plunge 71%

  • Because not all of us are sadists. The guy deserves what's coming to him, but it's more than just him.

    Aside from the nazi there are tons and tons and TONS of workers who are impacted by the nazi's choices. They all stand to lose their jobs, bonuses etc out of all of this. If the nazi didn't exist, there would be no negative connotation with the business. After all, they just make EVs and deal with power generation and storage for the most part, as a business.

    Then there's all the people who have retirement funds which have invested in the business simply because it's been growing traditionally. I have index funds, so I am personally affected by the valuation loss. I don't think i'll avoid buying more QQQM or VOO either, it's just traditionally beating most fund managers by a large margin with minimal expense.

    I'd love to see the guy lose his compensation package and lose his CEO status and board rights, but I doubt any of that will happen. I'd love for him to be prosecuted by all the illegal shit he's personally directed in these past months, but I doubt it will happen.

    Ultimately thinking of all this shit is still net negative and not uplifting for me. Give me some news about how the guy is being forced out and that the workers are being taken care of or something and i'll be all for it.

  • I agree with you man. This isn't uplifting news.

    It may feel right and just that the guy is getting push back, but we think more about his other actions and it drags us down, rather than lifting us up.

    It'll get tons of upvotes in all kinds of other subs because most of us want the guy to get hit by karma hard, but it's not about us feeling good.

    Apparently, due process is unrelated to an illegal deportation without due process case.

  • Why these people absolutely hate this one guy is completely indeterminable.

    it's like the only thing dumpy really wants is to never be told no, regardless of how wrong his mistake is.

  • As you get older it's no joke what kind of medical conditions can make something so simple end up being so difficult. 1/50 is not even a stretch.

  • That groan you hear is users’ reaction to Recall going back into Windows

    Jump

  • I'm certain this can be disabled in windows at any moment as without it loads and loads of criminal evidence would be available for discovery and litigation against the wealthiest people and businesses across the world.

    A real fear is being a worker in a world with micromanagers inspecting your workweek, 3 second snapshots at a time.

  • I'm not ok with shipping anyone to foreign prison camps. There's zero reason why we should ever do that, with exception of a valid extradition request from another country.
