While I understand what you’re saying, Okcupid was way better before match group bought it. They could make money and still have a useful website.

Sometimes it’s simply greed. :(

What the actual fuck… I need to find someone who is deeply familiar with the types of jobs a person could have.

If you told me “chocolate technology specialist” was a thing, I’d have probably gone to college for it. Instead I’m stuck in a factory, just dreaming about chocolate… And then going home and eating it lol

I don’t like to be too specific with what I do, I’ll just say we’re more Gucci than Garmin. Our products are “luxury” and apparently the competition isn’t really competition.

But who knows, maybe there is another one out there that is gaining popularity. I don’t really pay attention to that market other than what my job entails. Lord knows I can’t afford even our cheapest product, not to mention I have no use for it lol

All 3 and a 4th: a punishment for not kissing his feet with their coverage

I work for a company in the US that supplies these kinds of ships with specific equipment. I can tell you there has been a MASSIVE decline in purchases since a particular orange “man” started running the show in the US. A lot of them are “afraid” to make purchases now.

We would generally aim for a “40 unit” build week as that is pretty much our capacity, 25ish is the general slow period we face annually. We’re doing 10-13 unit build weeks now.

On top of that fireworks are pretty bad for everything and those with PTSD.

My coworkers dog would thank you very much as well for not shooting off fireworks. He said he usually drives out of town for a few hours until it dies down because his dog gets terrified :(

The Consumer Product Safety Commission was created in 1972. Its five members must maintain a partisan split, with no more than three representing the president’s party. They serve staggered terms.

That structure ensures that each president has “the opportunity to influence, but not control,” the commission, attorneys for the fired commissioners wrote in court filings. They argued the recent terminations could jeopardize the commission’s independence.

Nice words, but if he can fire them and they fill the majority with Republicans leaving only 2 slots for Democrats then he does control it…

US corporate media: absolute fucking scum all the way down.

Very true! I’m so ungrateful! :(

Those who gain citizenship through unlawful means and endanger our national security will not maintain the benefits of being an American citizen

Lmao… Benefits? What exactly are those benefits? Not being on the receiving end of a bombing? Not having our country destabilized by a narcissist (we don’t even get that benefit anymore). Having healthcare taken away? A secret police force take you away for wrongthink? Lol benefits of being an American…

In fascist USA anyone not actively licking the boot of a billionaire is a socialist!

I was just trying to follow the rules about the headline of the article. I added the kiss the ring part, but the rest is what the BBC had when I posted it.

Ah yes the song of our times: concerning leadership changes.

Hey where did they get that picture of me!?

We’re already at the thoughtcrime stage…

Funny how Republicans online were the ones crying about that, but now they’re salivating at the idea of deporting Mamdani for the crime of being a socialist. Can’t have those political opinions, that’s wrongthink!

So I actually just kinda answered this as a “joke” in another thread, but essentially:

The future: fascists, racist robots, billionaires, more fascists, bombing civilians, cutting science funding, the earth is on fire, more fascists, cutting HIV study funding, more racist robots, gutting artistic employment, more billionaires, fried donuts.

I seriously hope they still get their merger denied and the settlement is referred to as a reason why lol

My words exactly when I read this…

Paramount doesn’t give one solitary fuck about how this affects perception of media, how the Reich gets to do a victory lap and entrench the idea that no media but their media should be trusted, all Paramount cares about is money.

They even still hold that they did nothing wrong, but they refuse to fight because Mango Mussolini has the power to stop their merger…

And as usual every fucking coward Democrat who has ever been mistreated or misrepresented by Fox news refuses to sue them because we need to “go high when they go low.” Nice plan Icarus.
