As others have already stated, the job market is fine, the stocks are fine, but the ability to afford living day to day is worse than I have ever remembered. Here in my cheaper state here are some random prices:
A bag of Doritos is over $7.
Beef shortage makes ground beef for a family of 4 $14
Gas prices are over $3.70
My grocery bill increased by nearly 50% overall and we are buying less on top of that
Car prices are through the roof, making it impossible for people like me to change cars (I’m hearing they are going to drop again soon)
Rent prices are soaring to the point where it isn’t sustainable
The American Pit bull terrier, Stafordshire Terrier, and American Staffordshire Terrier are all “pit bulls”. They are all near over 85% to 90% on the chart. Me and my pitts have known that for years 😌
Sports commentary is not something I want to listen to an AI for. In general, I don’t want to listen to an AI, but for my entertainment I prefer a human.
While true, unfortunately the latest government spy bill is bipartisan. It will make end to end encryption for texts and chat illegal, using drug enforcement as the excuse.
A video which features Ron DeSantis that includes a symbol often associated with neo-Nazi groups has been met with outrage after it was allegedly retweeted by his campaign team.
Basically, a website can block you or treat you suspiciously based on whether or not this “feature” says that your computer or browser is approved and unmodified.
This can become a problem as more sites adopt this. You can be using a 2 year old device and suddenly your bank stops working because your device no longer shows up as approved. It can be used to artificially enforce obsolescence. The fix would be to buy a new device.
You could be using Linux or a 3rd party browser and many websites will become unavailable to you because they can never show up as approved and unmodified. It basically breaks the open web.
This is so stupid. They had the texts and he showed up. That should have been enough to arrest him. Why have a 13 year old girl interact with him in person at all?
I disagree to an extent. The computer shows you what it wants you to see. There are real digital marketing companies out there using social media to advertise a specific political point of view, a product, or a person.
They engage in the posts, the comments, and manipulate the visibility of both. This is part of their job.
