I find it funny that apparently conspiracy theorist directly translated from german is “very wrong theorist”
It’s unclear what countries this poll includes, having minimum paid leave is the law in most of the world. There’s also quite a few careers that involve forced time off.
Funnily enough, Sinclair is a common name that came from Saint Clair.
A Giraffe’s shoulder height is like 8 to 13ft, no way ms.curly is only 5’11
Love radiates from the image, making you irradiated with love.
Barring any global events probably. I am quite fortunate.
To start with me and my wife are both sw engineers.
I earn some nice big company stock, from when I started to 5 years later it’s 10x’d. I was a few years late to really hit jackpot but I still made a lot and will hopefully continue to gain. My company also matches the first 6% of my rrsp (a 401k for canadains) and I contribute 8%. I also have a maxed tfsa.
I am a pretty aggressive budgeter so I make sure we spend below our means and build uo other savings as well.
There’s a bit of a “problem” at my company where many of the senior staff basically have blank cheques because only they understand the overall architecture. I hope to also end up in this position. I knew a guy that worked 2 half days a week for at least 2x my salary with vacation time to boot. All he did was answer questions for a few hours then go home.
I bought a house during a panic price drop in 2020 got a really cheap price and then sold it for a huge profit and bought a run down duplex that is a bad investment property but a good place to live for my polycule (in a super walkable neighborhood to boot!). I plan to die in This house. I got what will probably be an all time low interest rate of 1.7% and have been paying it off faster than necessary. When it renews next year at 4-5% I will hopefully keep the same monthly. If my monthly doesn’t grow above that then I’ll be pretty on track to have it paid off before I turn 45, giving me more money to save and also lowering the amount I need a month.
If interest rates go down or me/wife gets some nice promotions or my company stock does another big climb then kids might even be on the table.
The petition was ostentatiously for “free speech and the right to bear arms” created by elon musk. If you signed this petition (which collects a lot of data for the republican party) and also registered to vote you could enter a lottery to win a million bucks. If said lottery was purely chance then that’s against election laws. Elon thus argues that he rigged it intentionally, to quote the article they were " not chosen at random but based on their “suitability” to serve as PAC spokespeople." This latest lawsuit is from petition signing who thought they were entering a true lottery and were thus (allegedly) fraudulently mislead.
Signing the original petition definitely helped trump and the republican party.
- No self posts.
I strongly think this rule should change, it is important we are able to humanize each other, make our own arguments. Self posts are important way to do that. I think some guidelines to keep it constructive and high effort is warranted but an outright ban I’m against.
- No meme/image/shitposting.
I’m fine with this, but maybe a weekly mega thread to blow off steam in would be healthy?
No calls for violence. Full stop.
I understand the legal obligations here. I’ll also point out the president elect is openly calling for widespread violence. If some can say “cops should shoot/arrest/deport <xyz>” that is a call for violence.
Mods, You have a hard, thankless job, so thank you.
Harris still might, California is only 60% counted with mostly urban places left to count.
Perhaps my experience is atypical but with the old system I’d have to sign in and reset everything every few months, so that doesn’t really seem very different for me at least. But then again I dont have much if a remote setup anymore.
Where I live you can either use those cornstarch types or paper bags (very similar to yard waste bags). I like the paper bag for the big bin that goes in the roadside, but cornstarch ones for the one in the kitchen that only sticks around a day or two. Perhaps raise the idea with your local council.
I prefer curbside system because it is able to accept many things that my at home compost can’t handle like dog shit, meats and those biodegradable “plastics” that need industrial facilities. Also apartments.
First they came for RFK jr and I did nothing because I’m not a brain worm…
Water? You mean Pee spread over a russian hooker*?
The russian piss tape story was likely fake news
Out of 10 pro abortion state measures 7 passed (one still undecided i think), and only 1 anti abortion measure passed.
First game that has convinced me to setup my vr at my new house.
“If it’s important someone will tell me about it” is such an infuriatingly common position.
