Key change?

Ha ha, “while playing my country songs out the window.”.
- Comment on A Googler who just resigned after 18 years reflects on the decline of the company he loved 11 months ago:
You’re not wrong, but why not add onto it instead of being so aggressive. Tech companies do seem especially bad, but that’s probably because I live in Seattle.
- Comment on A Googler who just resigned after 18 years reflects on the decline of the company he loved 11 months ago:
This is the moral of every tech company. FFS, learn and keep the greeds out.
I do think the clock is ticking, though. The deterioration of Google’s culture will eventually become irreversible, because the kinds of people whom you need to act as moral compass are the same kinds of people who don’t join an organisation without a moral compass.

I didn’t know they had AI generation now, I need to use it again. I haven’t had a project that needed it for a bit.

I think that dude is actually broke now.
- Comment on Tax time 11 months ago:
Lol, that’s a good problem to have when dealing with the IRS.
- Comment on Tax time 11 months ago:
I know this is going to sound crazy, but I don’t mind paying a small amount if they come back in a timely manner. They have been so amazing to work with. We owed a huge amount and they negotiated with us to pay it down. So if we have to pay $100 more now and then, I’ll let them spend that time working with people who need it.
Note: If you owe a large amount, don’t ignore it. They will usually work with you if you contact them early to pay it in installments. If you don’t think you can pay ever, tell them. You’ll still owe it, but communicating is better than freezing and ignoring.
- Comment on Tax time 11 months ago:
They really do keep it a secret. I’ve gotten bills saying I don’t owe anything more and then bill me for $100 later. I don’t understand, but just pay it. It’s where the healthcare system learned their math.

I think she wouldn’t be as insane as Trump, but she ain’t great.

Is it? You have to pay or give up all of your rights to stay in contact with your friends and family. What would you call it? Glad to see pro-facebook people here on lemmy, there’s dozens of you.

They’re actually holding your friends and family hostage, make plans to get them to safety.
- Comment on Jeff Bezo is now cosplaying as a working class man. 1 year ago:
I read on lemmy a few months ago that the botox works great until it doesn’t, because it changes the underlying pockets of skin. I didn’t really understand completely but they were very confident that that’s why some stars that look not so great now, but looked great 10 years ago. It’s a subtle thing over time for the stars.

He might have wanted to have kept looking then, these are not pics of people in love.

The last one fizzled out, so I bet you’re right.
- Comment on A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school. 1 year ago:
Every generation has awful people and awesome people. Proud Boys aren’t boomers. The inter generational bs is meant to divide, don’t fall for it.

Could you give examples? I think I agree with you but I’m not sure I’m understanding correctly.
- Comment on A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school. 1 year ago:
Was it the boomers or anti tax people and pro christians?
- Comment on A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school. 1 year ago:
I agree with what you’re saying and I think it’s fair even though I’m in a great relationship. If you look at super old movies, they’re just having fun with everyone and that’s what was promoted. Everything wasn’t the rom coms or intense scrutiny it is today.

How many shot gun weddings or forced marriages do you know irl though? The OP was saying it like it’s super common.
- Comment on A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school. 1 year ago:
I would add to those:
- how money and credit cards work
- how to pay bills and what paying late means
- how credit score companies are predatory but you still have to abide by them for loans.
- what loans are and what signing for a loan means.
- how to do your own laundry
- how to cook healthy meals for yourself and the nutrition of unhealthy foods. Don’t say, “eat healthy”, but try it out for a few weeks in school.
- how to help your friends without getting sucked in
- how drugs work and what it looks like to spiral out of control. What are the actual side effects of all drugs.
- why might you be self-medicating through lots of drugs and/or extreme video game playing
- how to deal with depression in yourself and others

It’s a cycle of madness though, how can they teach you something they’ve never been taught?

Back in the 50s there was arranged marriages.
I’m guessing you’re part of a different culture than the US since it wasn’t common here at all, I’ve never heard of anyone being in an arranged marriage. I do agree with you though, that there needs to be peer and love relationships, communication, and life skills being taught. The issue right now is, the teachers are just trying to teach and survive themselves. It would be an education overhaul in the expanding knowledge direction.

That violin guy that would surprise people by playing requests was great.

Thanks for that comment, US is down to #21 on that list. I don’t see Mexico on the developed world list, so I guess they are developing but still have free health care.
- Comment on Free returns disappearing from retailers | The era of free returns — an essential part of the rise of online shopping — is ending 1 year ago:
I think they call it developing countries now. I know Mexico has free healthcare, who else are you talking about?

I know you guys don’t live in utopia, but fuck, you have it better than us in a lot of ways.

You guys get free health care and you can return stuff? Also, don’t you have a guaranteed warranty of 3 or 4 years?
- Comment on How SIM Swappers Straight-Up Rob T-Mobile Stores 1 year ago:
It looks like it used to be a problem
It appears remo snatching is becoming less common. In their own post, n0sec said that T-Mobile now requires a manager login and a second piece of authorization. And in a statement to 404 Media, T-Mobile mentioned its implementation of “new enhancements.”
