I doubt any place will hire you for only one day a week. That will not be helpful for them.

I feel like this will be a boon to all the restaurants who aren’t paying their staff well. Their prices will stay the same. Meanwhile, restaurants trying to pay a living wage will have much higher prices but won’t be able to tell you why. Customers will “vote with their wallets,” putting the higher paying restaurants out of business.
Overall it’s a good idea to get rid of extraneous fees, but I feel like they didn’t quite think it all the way through.
I’ve never seen a restaurant lower their prices. Restaurants don’t really work that way. They can’t negotiate for lower prices of the food they buy, especially if they’re buying less (you get a better deal buying in bulk). The only way to cut costs is to cut staff, which then leaves service lacking if they do get busy, or buy cheap low quality food and freeze it. People definitely stop going when service or food quality gets worse. This is the restaurant death spiral.
I’m guessing the beneficial part will turn out to be the non-processed focus of the diet rather than ratios of protein/starches/fats.
It’s insufferable that the answer is always “build your own.” Lemmy assumes that every single person on the planet is an engineer with enough free time to design, build, and troubleshoot every device they own.
But what about a car? Cars are as smart as smartphones now, and you certainly wouldn’t notice the small amount of power needed to collect and transfer data compared to driving the car. Some car manufacturer TOS agreements seemingly admit that they collect and use your in-car conversations (including any passengers, which they claim is your duty to inform them they are being recorded). Almost all the manufacturers are equally bad for privacy and data collection.
Mozilla details what data each car collects here.
If they know how many years they’ll hold the rights, that information should be given to the consumer, i.e., “you will have access to this media product for at least N years.” Then the consumer can make an informed decision (is $24.99 worth it to own a movie for 6 years? Etc). Otherwise it’s just a gamble. Everything else you can rent (cars, tools, equipment, venues, clothing, dumpsters) comes with very clear temporal terms. Imagine if rental car companies could remotely brick your rental car halfway through your vacation.
Sometimes it’s fun to admit you do the thing and watch them awkwardly walk back everything they just said.
Lol I never said ignore it. Just don’t blindly pay without looking into it.
Just a PSA, the IRS recently instituted some kind of AI algorithm that is re-flagging a lot of things that have already been resolved… a friend got a bill for $1500 which they had earlier sent a letter of apology for. He doesn’t actually owe anything, it’s just the glitchy algorithm sending the old bill out again.
If you don’t understand why you owe more, don’t just give up and pay it. The IRS can make mistakes too.
There’s a big difference between “this person doesn’t agree with my worldview” and “this person is spouting crazy nonsense and the host isn’t even questioning it,” which gives the nonsense a sheen of legitimacy.
I sure hope he isn’t able to access any government documents on that phone. Think about how much information that app gathers by taking a screenshot every minute.
Is it on the ceiling? Maybe attached to a smoke detector? Can’t really tell anything from the photo.
An enormous chunk of housing sits unused and empty because real estate speculators want to rent them out at exorbitant prices rather than use it for it’s intended purpose of having a roof over people’s heads.
If they are renting it out at exorbitant prices, then it’s not empty. If it’s empty, then they get zero money. You’re saying it’s both, which makes no sense. Interest rates and property taxes are both high right now. It costs investors money to hold empty property without renting it out. They don’t have to wait for people to pay inflated prices. The demand is already there.
I’m all for more regulation, especially for developers and investors. Stiupulate that at least 50% of all new housing built be affordable. Give incentives to rehab old condemned properties. And stop letting AI algorithms determine rental prices.
When I looked it said 13.9 million. But how many of those are habitable? Does that number include Airbnbs? Properties stuck in probate or the foreclosure process? How many of them are in senior communities that don’t allow younger people or families? The census data doesn’t specify any of that.
Because there isn’t enough housing that already exists.
But those kinds of plots (as well as the whole multiverse thing) have already been done in lots of shows like Rick and Morty, Futurama, Marvel, etc. I never understood why there was so much hype to begin with - the movie wasn’t groundbreaking at all. It played out basically exactly how I thought it would, except with some incredibly unrealistic parental apology fantasy tacked on.
It’s a little harder to lug around millions in cash without anyone noticing.
Not all secret transactions are illegal, but the people who are doing illegal transactions will do anything they can to keep them secret.
Fun fact, back in the 80s, cigarette companies owned most of the food production companies. They are responsible for creating most of the addictive natural and artificial flavorings. When they got slapped for making cigarettes addictive, they quickly sold off all their food holdings because they didn’t want to be held financially responsible for making those addictive too.

I hope they realize now we really should start.
