Even if people knew how much they were getting ripped off, what are they supposed to do about it? What is the alternative?

If every brand of bread in the store is sold at a insane markup, and you need bread, what do you? Make your own? That's a hit or miss process that can take a while if you don't have a fancy bread maker. They either need to save to get a bread maker or find time between their maybe 2 or 3 jobs to make the bread.

The problem is that I let it play even after I saw what it was...

Fox's lie. Who'd ever believe their news?

What if he doesn't mean that he's going to be a dictator. What if he means he will purge the country of anyone that doesn't think like him and his followers, therefore they never have to vote again because everyone will be on the same page. J/k...mostly

Nah, it's good. No pressure. These are just resources that I kinda had to stumble across, although im sure theyre in some super accessible place and im just a ding dong. Figured if they could help another person, then so be it.

It's hard times right now, you do what you gotta do to keep on keeping on. Lemmy.world is a completely fine choice. They're a large, mainstream place to get comfortable in. But, if you get bored one day and want to check out what else is out there, you've got something to get you started.

I wish you luck, some free time, and some peace of mind.

If you ever decide you want to branch out, you can try the instance / community browser at https://lemmyverse.net to check out whats out there.

I will say that although it technically doesnt matter what instance you sign up with, sometimes the descriptions aren't very descriptive at all. Definitely give an instance a browse, to get a feel for the overall vibe, before you sign up.

You can check to see if an instance has been defederated from / by other instances, by entering said instance address at https://defed.xyz/

The summary for the post kinda misses the mark on what the majority of the article is pushing.

Yes, the first part describes employees struggling with AI, but the majority of the article makes the case for hiring more freelancers and updating "outdated work models and systems...to unlock the full expected productivity value of AI."

It essentially says that AI isn't the problem, since freelancers can use it perfectly. So full time employees need to be "rethinking how to best do their work and accomplish their goals in light of AI advancements."

Start a school and teach everyone, everything he knows. Duh!

Wait, Burger King was unionized 27 years ago? Health insurance? What! How come I never heard of this? How come nobody asked me to join. WTF, I feel jipped.

Not exactly what you asked, but the only problem I've found with Subaru (crosstrek / legacy) is lack of pick up. It's worth it to shell out for even a slightly upgraded engine. (crosstrek wilderness) If thats important to you and you read a review that says it's a problem, absolutely believe it. It hasn't bordered on dangerous, but it is very noticeable at times.

Other than that 100,000+ miles later and some regular upkeep and there has been absolutely no issues. Shifts fine, although sometimes the rpms hit higher than I'm used to.

I do believe the WRX is manual if that's more your style, and there are Crosstreks (which is essentially an Impreza with more clearance. Even people at the dealership have accidentally called it that) and Foresters that are strictly automatic, or so they say.

Oh, and the windshield wipers are lame. It's like the windshield is too big for the wipers, and the wipers move to slow. If it starts pouring outside, be prepared to be driving 90% blind. Rainx barely helps.

Maybe staged, but from my understanding trump wasn't super nice to them. Maybe they saw the guy and just...shrugged.
