That’s really old! Wolfram says it’s: 5.57458576 x 10^196 years old!

I’ll add Geocaching to this list. Walk around, find hidden caches and solve puzzles.

It’s not focused on the walking places but instead on the finding of caches. I personally need to get out and do some that involve going on hikes!

I bought a steam deck and have been checking every day waiting for it to arrive… Or even be shipped! They finally packaged the damn thing!

Windows 10. I’ve since moved on to 11 but haven’t tried it since then.

I am also interested in the Lemmy opinion of windscribe. My wife really likes them but their app used to brick my computer requiring a hard reset so I don’t use them.

I think the part that always pissed me off more is that it doesn’t really matter where it came from! No one is really trying to let out a virus to ravage the planet… Unless they’re a bond villain.

We need to figure out where it came from because it’s important to prevent it happening in the future but politicizing it was always pretty fixing stupid.

What is more important is we have a new virus that is brutal and we need to stop or show its spread. My parents were on the Fox News bandwagon and would always tell me that I believe they’re crazy for thinking it came from China. I tried so many times to explain to them, it doesn’t matter where it came from, it’s out, in the global population, and we need to try to mitigate and prevent damage.

Literally anything as long as I take ritalin first. Turns out I have ADHD.

Wait… You what now?

It seems as though you underestimate the appeal of billions of dollars. It’s not just the ability to never have to work again. Or power, prestige or any other nonsense. Or even just having tons of money. It’s not greed that makes it appealing.

It’s the security. The safety if knowing you’ll never have to worry about food or housing. That your parents and family will be well taken care of. Your children will be able to have it all, that you’ve set them up for success and they won’t have to struggle. It’s knowing that your best friend who was diagnosed with cancer will have the best care available, wherever that may be in the world, and won’t have to worry about food or housing or anything else while getting better.

You’re either too young to understand or are lacking in empathy.

I’m not saying being a billionaire isn’t inherently immoral. But the reason people take payouts like that are not solely down to greed.

A lot of people are saying they did this job as a teenager, I did it mid 20’s and yes, I liked the job. I never had to deal with customers, I just pushed carts. But people leaving carts in the middle of nowhere were a babe on my existence.

I don’t know how many carts there were in or store but on a normal day and especially a busy day they would be constantly used. Our corrals would all overflow simultaneously if not emptied. And then you have some dipshit who decides they can’t be asked to walk a little further. I had to have a route in order to collect carts and keep our corrals under control. If I had to walk an extra 10 minutes out of my way to get a cart it would set me back 20+ minutes of work, without fail. And if I didn’t collect it then carts would start piling up, without fail. Then you’d get the mixed cart bullshit and you can only push so many mixed carts.

Putting your cart makes the job actually reasonable. You can plan and coordinate and organize yourself to know where to go when to pick up carts. It allows you to predict where carts will end up and efficiently walk so you’re not destroying your body. When people screw with that rhythm the whole thing goes to pot.

I mean that’s cool but also not really a rebuttal to the user above. Now the person above is not correct. Kids absolutely know when they’re getting the short end of a deal or at least when it comes to stuff they care about. And Congress didn’t give a flying fuck about the good of the children or we’d have a food guarantee for all children and single prayer health care already.

A little humor helps.

Yeah, you’re right. I’m glad that they’re paid more and I’m glad tipping is still possible but it just seems super uncool to remove the prompt.

I had an argument with a coworker once about their second job. They said they blacklist people who don’t tip them for delivering pizza. I was surprised and asked them to explain and they said that most of their money came from tips. Without it they made state minimum wage and the job wasn’t worth it.

I said they should be paid better.

My coworker responded that they are paid better by people tipping and that’s why they blacklist people who don’t tip.

I followed it up by pushing the idea that the restaurant should be paying them more so that the job is worth it without tips. And well… The whole thing devolved for some reason and almost ended with me getting punched.

Either way I think you should be paid a living wage and have the ability to get tips for going above and beyond. Tipping shouldn’t be the norm/required but it should be available and it sounds like it is in this case just a bit more hidden.

Well that’s fucked up

Pshh I bet you use acoustic time.

Amazon is a company in the technology sector. They might be a retailer but they are also a part of big tech and the foundation of much of the Internet. A large portion of their workforce are tech workers.

Articles like this are not focused on warehouse employees, they have to go into the office to do their jobs at all. This article is talking about people who don’t have to go into work to perform their job… Like tech workers.

So like it or not, this is tech news.

I’m doing my part!

Exactly. You should have said it so others don’t have to point it out.

I finally deleted Twitter from my phone a couple weeks ago.

I only used it for porn for the last 3 years and hadn’t been on in over a month but I saw an article on here and was curious. So I opened it up and looked to see how the porn situation was going. I was going to keep it around if I could find a bit of good porn. But I scrolled and scrolled down through my feed and I only had politics, bigots, ragebait, and hateporn. I hadn’t realized it had gotten so bad… I also have no idea where all my porn creators fled to.

Oh well, nothing of value was lost.
