- Comment on Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄 17 hours ago:
I wish the whole streak paradigm was time weighted. Like I got over a 1 year streak on my Apple watch over Covid. That’s basically never going to happen again. I wish there was some kind of “this is your longest streak in the past <time period>” or something. It all just feels so all or nothing.

Wasn’t the whole point of layaway to keep the physical item from being purchased by another customer until you could pay it off? How many items today completely sell out?
Elder millennial, and I’ve never fully understood layaway.

Yo momma so fat she sat on a binary tree and swashed it into a linked list in O(1) time.

Is it because the amps are high
Yes. I don’t know about for motorcycles, but in a car, it’s like hundreds of amps. That’s a lot of fucking amps.

It would cost like $1k for some YouTuber to buy a few burner android phones, slap prepaid sims in them, and then talk to them about their love of Hyundai and protein powder. It would blow the whole lid off whatever conspiracy were all just resigning ourselves to.
Such an easy thing to test and yet there’s zero evidence that it’s happening. At least the way people assume.

Getting upset about AI in this case is extra silly because 90% of the art is made by clicking and dragging rage faces that someone else made.

Man, how did you find that? I wasn’t getting anything on ddg.
Anywho, looks a little buggy (it doesn’t seem to deal with website credentials, so I’m not sure how it ever worked), but it’s got the bones to do what I want to do. Thanks for the link.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill#Problems
Except a lot of men who fought over there were rewarded with returning back to the bottom rung of the socioeconomic ladder.
Status quo was maintained. Women and people of color were promised opportunity and reward for helping with the war effort, but largely didn’t get it.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 1 month ago:
To explain your downvotes.
Women were encouraged to join the work force on top of all of the parenting/wifely duties they were saddled with for generations. This was a lot of work, but it also provided a glimpse into financial independence and equal placement in the workplace for the first time.
But when the war was over, women were encouraged to jump right back into the kitchen.
should men returning from war not be entitled to their job back
There are many jobs that need to be done to make society work. There are plenty of jobs at home that they could have taken.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 1 month ago:
Yeah and “we can do it,” until the men come back home and take the jobs back.

a loan for a used car sounds wild to me.
Predatory car loans has entered the chat.
I don’t know about Carvana, but plenty of scummy dealers will give insane rates to people with no credit check, repo the car while they’re still underwater on the loan, and sell it to someone else. You can have two or three people paying off the same car.
Oh, also, they somehow encourage the most gullible people who can’t afford their loans to just let the car get reposessed instead of attempting to sell it back to the dealer.
