i really don’t want anything that further obfuscates the experience of me typing in a word and it showing me pages with that word. and i don’t know why i’d want to type a full ass sentence in natural english versus just keywords

even assuming the truth of the idea that it’s good for children to have jobs, do they have to be cruelest and most grueling upton-sinclair ass jobs you can find? at least adults can drink after a long shift at the meat processing factory. kids should be working the register at a movie theater or something. also i can’t imagine a small child is as efficient at cleaning out vats of blood as an adult would be
In a statement, Chief Executive Officer Mike Poore told KCTV5:
“Global pharmaceutical companies are putting profitability over affordability, making it impossible for employers like our hospital system to bear the financial burden of these exorbitant drug prices.
In January 2024, Mosaic’s Health Care Trustees made the gut-wrenching decision not to cover expensive gene therapy used to treat ultra-rare diseases. Covering these treatments could cripple the financial viability of our health system, directly impacting our more than 4,000 employees and the approximately 270,000 people who rely on the health care we provide in small communities across four states.
We are working hard to help find alternative solutions and financial resources to help in this case. Bottom line: Families should not have to focus on the astronomical costs imposed by drug companies, but instead should be able to focus on the care of their children in a medical crisis.”
wow it’s almost like it’s a shitty fucking system and you’re very much a part of it.
from his linkedin:
“Mike is one of the finest men with whom I have ever worked. He relates well to and inspires his employees. He demands high quality while keeping his eye firmly on the bottom line. I would follow him anywhere!”
it feels similar in egregious price to getting room service, and you don’t even have to talk to the guy, and you can convince yourself it’s nice to treat yourself you’ve been working hard etc etc. you don’t have to do any dishes or think about all the rotten shit in the fridge. it can feel like a legitimate mental break,...
this is wonderful, thank you i’ve always heard people mention virtual travel and i figured it was like google street view + zoom quality; this is brilliant
I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don’t want people to use their shit anymore. I’m starting to believe in the dead internet theory.
i’ve never had an office job but it’s extremely obnoxious they seem to regularly filter the internet like you’re in school. there were so so many important resources (including youtube) which had legitimate educational and technical value they’d take away as some bullshit austerity ritual
companies don’t even have to worry about that shit anymore. things are so perilous that there will always be people desperate enough for anything no matter how shitty the conditions
i cannot believe this site i spent so many sad years posting on in high school, with pure heart, posting purely out of a desire for interesting interactions and the potential to make insightful, peer-reviewed contributions that others could enjoy, has turned into such fucking dead-eyed garbage.
I read “it’s dying” by people on Discord and Reddit all the time, but the numbers prove otherwise. It’s been going up this entire time and sitting over 3 billion MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS!...
honestly to me it feels cozy now relative to how shitty other platforms have gotten. i guess it was always leading the way at being shitty, so it doesn’t feel like as stark a change (reddit, twitter)
i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.
the really stupid thing is that i feel like if i go and watch a film or read something for a few hours, that’s an isolated experience. i’m disconnected from the (vague) sense of community i feel online; i feel like i’m missing things.
but then i go back online and it’s the same garbage. even just 10 years ago it used to be good garbage, now it’s just stuff that irritates me
you know – this is always represented in the news/etc as ‘a starbucks a day’ but i mean moreso a gadget or a shirt. i’m splurging on deodorant right now. is that immoral? are you meant to have a mostly austere budget until you’re a boomer with a house and a fence?...
cutest girl at work asked me if i knew what poppers were, then supplied the explanation after i said yes. unfortunately i was/am too stupid to advance the ball further, and we both left the job shortly after due to a terrible regime change

if you watch steve jobs’ 2007 iphone keynote it’s incredibly depressing now. he brags about how the iphone can load full, rich webpages instead of awful mobile versions; he loads the NYT website and gets the whole lush landscape desktop version, and taps to zoom in on certain elements. i used to be such a dork and so into tech in high school, it seemed so promising and wondrous.
i bet jobs could’ve yelled at spez about the API changes and gotten him to relent
