This is a terrible definition that could be applied to any form of government the speaker dislikes.

You didn't even come close to answering the question. You didn't say anything about who owns and benefits from production.

Plenty of stuff, turns out. But I'm sticking to my guns. I have a big backlog anyway.

Still unemployed so I'm not even looking. If capital doesn't want to hire me, they can't have any more of my money.

I think the recommendation is 30% of income goes into shelter? Not sure if that's gross or net. You'd want to be making $80k i think, if it's gross.

Anyway, this is all hair splitting. Basic costs are too high, yes.

I live in New York, I've had friends run into Zohran, and I'm only a couple steps removed from him socially. I'm told, admittedly not first hand, that Zohran basically stood up against a creeper in his friend group, and told the guy he wasn't welcome anymore with that sort of behavior. Sort of the opposite of the more common "missing stair" pattern

I'm not good at math, but looking at the chart I think the average is dragged up but the huge spike of $5k+/mo units. You can find places for ~$2k/mo that don't look terrible, assuming the listings on zillow are real. That's still too expensive, but better than the $3700 average on that chart.

"It could be worse!" is extremely small comfort, though.

I kind of assumed you were making a joke, not asking the question in good faith. Perhaps others made the same assumption.

Isn't that most of history? Liberals, "centrists", et al would rather side with fascists than give an inch to labor.

I don't think it saves time on net if you have to read it and then go verify it anyway. Might as well go directly to the more trustworthy source in the first place! And if you don't care if your answer is correct, why even search? Just make something up.

This one is appealing in that they refund the fee even if it's from some other bank. So you can go to the ATM at the corner shop that charges $3 to withdraw, and get that refunded at the end of the quarter. Most banks don't have fees at their own ATM, but this is no fees anywhere. For rich people.

I think i meant smart phone. Apparently cell phone adoption was in the 60%+ range in 2005

Well, yes, Google has been becoming shittier for years as they prioritize ads and fail to deal with SEO slop. You have to know what's a good source, but that was true even when we were doing research in libraries.

The AI summary is making the problem worse. The information it provides is not trustworthy. It also deprives site owners from traffic. It's really bad on like every metric.

Almost all of my friends are big zohran fans. Even the one that's to the right of me on some issues is cautiously optimistic.

But to hear my friends' parents talk about it? Doom. Dooooom.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. One of the banks here refunds ATM fees if you have a minimum balance of $2500 (and waives the monthly fee if you have $25,000). Like, my guys, the people who don't have money need that fee waived a lot more. But the bank just wants to make money and that means appealing to rich people.

Sometimes I get mad about how we in practice have basic income for the rich. If you have a few million dollars, you can park it in zero or low risk investments (eg: high yield savings, bonds) and get free money. Then you can just fuck off and pursue your dreams. No risk. Lots of reward.

But if you're poor? Well you better take any job for any salary or you're just a parasite blah blah blah. All pain, some risk, little reward.

All other things aside, 20 years is a long fucking time. 20 years ago we barely had cell phones. The iPhone was 2007 I think.

Well, in this example, the information provided by the AI was simply wrong. If it had done the traditional search method of pointing to the organization's website where they had the hours listed, it would have worked fine.

This idea that "we're all entitled to our opinion" is nonsense. That's for when you're a child and the topic is what flavor Jelly Bean you like. It's not for like policy or things that matter. You can't just "it's my opinion" your way through "this algorithm is O(n^2) but I like it better than O(n) so I'm going to use it for my big website". Or more on topic, you can't use it for "these results are wrong but I like them better"

Clearest warning? Of what? New York City is one of the few cities in the US I'd want to live in. Stephen Miller is a delusional nazi shit. He should be screaming on a street corner somewhere, not working in government.

I'm really sick of these asshole techbros spending millions of dollars on slop.
