  • If a Great Depression happened again, would people still stand together like they did during the penny auctions?

    Jump

  • I agree that this could happen as you described because of online bidding & buying. But any new owners and/or renovation crews show up, I think people could make that new purchase WAY most costly. Word would eventually get around and no one would want to accept those jobs.

  • We Desperately Need Maximum Wage Laws

    Jump

  • They already play a shell game with wages, so they don't pay income taxes. Most of the really rich and successful people have their incomes derived from capital gains and then use the talking point that it's already money that was taxed through their business so it shouldn't be taxed further.

    TAX CAPITAL GAINS.

  • Democrats refuse to fold over shutdown as Republican outrage builds

    Jump

  • The Speaker of the House has the power to keep everyone in session for as long as it takes to pass anything. Instead of voting over and over until anything passes, he's sent them away. The Democrats COULDN'T vote to pass right now, because only Mike Johnson can call them in to vote.

  • Republicans admitting release of Epstein Files inevitable by month's end

    Jump

  • "now appears certain" is not the same thing as inevitable.

  • Fox’s Rachel Campos-Duffy Declares ‘Christians Are the Most Persecuted Religion in the Universe’ During Segment About MN Shooting

  • Let's also take off Moon-day, Tiw's day (Germanic Mars God of war), wOdin's day, Thor's day and Frigga's day (Odin's wife).

  • Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'

    Jump

  • A few matters - About 5-6 years ago - PayPal was going to make telemarketing your phone number a requirement in order to have an account - If you had an account, they were going to FORCE you to allow their 3rd party marketing calls. No opt-out available whatsoever.

    PayPal is also an owner of the extension Honey - an extension that promoted they would try every online coupon code to see if you could save money on a deal. Recently (within the last year) it was discovered that even if they didn't provide you with any discount at all - they were still hijacking the referral links that brought you to the shop site in the first place. They were also striking deals to those same vendors about kickbacks to NOT keep the best coupons in their system. Essentially they were taking money from three sides, promoters, vendors, and the purchasers - all while NOT providing the best possible coupon codes - which was the whole advertised point of their service. Lawsuits on this are pending.

  • Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display

  • Wake up sheeple!

  • Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles

    Jump

  • I don't choose a payment processor over their morality standards. I choose how to spend my own money, not them. They shouldn't have a say in that matter.

  • People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like?

    Jump

  • My wife's employment (a national company providing services to homes) not only embraced the remote work that COVID forced her into, they closed down their central customer service call center to save that money.

    This year they're talking about taking all the administrative people out of the local offices and only needing the service people pick up supplies and having the remote workers pick up the volume.

  • Republicans ask Donald Trump to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship

    Jump

  • Remember when they all claimed they had no problem with LEGAL immigration?

    Well yeah, they had a problem with any kind that makes them lose.

  • 128 Democrats join House Republicans to block AOC, Al Green bid to impeach Trump

    Jump

  • As if the Republicans in Congress would have allowed this impeachment to go through punished. His J6 one while he was found responsible, they chose not to punish him over it. They would have brought up the time that Obama did something similar, too.

  • MAGA melts down after Trump-appointed justice argues against ending birthright citizenship: 'Remove this imposter'

    Jump

  • Or "eviscerates"

  • Qatar's gift to Trump is unsold plane it's been trying to dump for years

    Jump

  • It would make more sense to equip it up if they planned on keeping it as Air Force One after Trump leaves office, but they have already said they plan on keeping it with the Trump Presidential Library.. so the U.S. gov will spend all this money on a secure aircraft for a few months before it's decommissioned.. but he's just a CHAMPION of cutting wasteful spending. /s

  • Qatar's gift to Trump is unsold plane it's been trying to dump for years

    Jump

  • As long as it's Hayes compatible.

  • Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online?

    Jump

  • Most of my random DMs are some sort of business marketing pitch or slow burn confidence scammer. I wouldn't volunteer any real information about yourself until you get to know them better. And even then, especially the crypto scammers, are willing to do the slow burn because they're going for a larger jackpot of your life savings.

    I tell everyone "I have a policy for never doing business with anyone I never met face to face."

  • VPN firm says it didn’t know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them

    Jump

  • I also bought a lifetime VPN via StackSocial, and it ended up limiting the VPN to a browser extension. That VPN was IPinator, and it was a helluva time getting that refund because nowhere in the sale did it state the VPN service was only for web browsing. StackSocial and IPinator both pointed fingers at each other as responsible for the refund. Once I posted out to StackSocial that the "satisfaction guarantee" was also posted on their website, it was hard for them to back out and they eventually refunded me the money.

    I deleted my bookmark to StackSocial and have never bought from them again.

  • This is a time where it's hard to be away from politics. I switched to all tech news after the U.S. election, and the tariffs are strongly influencing the supply and demand, and the convict is skewing crypto ponzi schemes in his personal favor which has a lot of influence on hardware. He has Musk that's trying to influence hard on AI which also impacts a lot of our hardware.

    Can't fucking get away from it, really.

  • That's great, hopefully they don't discontinue the line just like Microsoft did with their adaptive mouse.
