I thought a business degree would be very useful. Joke’s on me I guess. I haven’t had a single job that made use of my degree, but a few that “required” one that 40+ years ago probably wouldn’t even have required a high school diploma.

Gotta get it locked in. That date will sneak up on you.

I hear you and I’m sorry that you have to deal with that. I haven’t even gotten a 2% raise in years. Funny how the government has no issue giving themselves (i.e. the politicians) raises whenever they want.

IDK, ask the companies who refuse to pay fair wages and the government who refuses to force them to do so?

Silents are right before boomers. People born from 1928 to 1945. So people born right in the middle of pre-World War II and during the war itself. I would guess their children are mostly the younger boomers and older Gen X. Boomers’ kids are generally Gen X and some older millennials.

It always amazes me, in a bad way, how the christofascists want to call everything they don’t like indoctrination. They’re literally hiding things from their own children. I get wanting to protect your children, but IMO, that’s not the way to do it.

They function like a cult. You can’t have any beliefs outside of theirs, you can’t go against the grain, you are disowned if you leave, etc. You’re not an individual human being with your own thoughts, wants, needs, and rights, you’re just another number in their christofascist member log. They constantly spout things that have been proven false for decades like they’re 100% real.

I saw something the other day that seemed to indicate that these types of beliefs are more engrained with boomers and silents and less so with younger folks. I hope that is the case and we can get away from this nonsense. Yet more things boomers and silents are doing to try to ruin the world before they die.

And FWIW, I’ve read the Bible cover to cover, unlike most of them, and a vast majority of the bullshit they spout isn’t even in the Bible. They’re making it up and using “religion” as a cover/excuse.

Should be federal law, but instead we’re a backwards ass country that thinks we need to do the 1950s over again but without the higher taxes on corporations and the rich. And then we as a country wonder why we have problems funding things without printing money.

Other “first world countries” have this, there’s no reason we can’t too, except greed by the oligarchy.

Fuck Reddit. I hope their egos and greed kill the site.

I have always HATED the auto refresh features so many sites enable by default. Twitter does it, Facebook does it, Reddit does it (sometimes), etc. I can’t stand it. I want to read what I scrolled down to not something that just randomly popped up. Or worse some of them do this weird thing where it scrolls me further down and automatically hides the previous ~5+ posts or something like that. Super annoying.

This type of thing should be a user setting, not a site wide setting, IMO.

Also, there should be a user setting (maybe I missed it?) to reposition the new comment box to the top of the page instead of the bottom.

Turning the front page of the Internet into the back page of your bird cage’s newspaper, one day at a time.

I mean we kind of have an informal version of this when the plane lands right? My last flight last year was super delayed and we nearly had to gently shove past people and literally run in the airport to make it to our connection on time.

I hope this bullshit kills their site. Monetization is necessary in some ways, but this is just pure greed.

Yep. I think this is pretty much guaranteed at this point. Can’t have anything users actually want to keep around, that might hurt profits.

Do they not remember the outcome of the first one? They lost…

I wish they’d all just fuck off to their own uninhabited rock in the middle of the ocean somewhere where they can do all the dipshit stuff they want to do and yell into the void. They’re a cancer in this country.
