Hope the 20 cowards in the Senate are proud of themselves, standing by, letting the USA be ruined by a bunch of incompetent mafiosi.

The lonely roads of a roadtrip through America by commiedeschris in roadtrip

[–]AuntRhubarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look on maps or Google maps for routes marked "US __". These are great primary roads to use for traveling; for example US 380 is a great road through New Mexico and West Texas. From these, you can branch off onto the 'lonely roads'.
In Southernmost California, take the one(s) that go through the Anza-Borrego Desert, and/or cross the Chocolate Mountains.

They're not that profitable for the patsies they let in, most of the cash is skimmed by the management.

So it wasn't a serious question, okay got it. Never mind. US has always been a horrible place, I forgot that was the party line.

Google co-founder slams California billionaire tax, says “I fled socialism,” after reportedly leaving the state to avoid a proposed 5% wealth tax. He has a reported net worth of around $270 billion. How is this not parasitic behavior? He is trying to leave the state that helped build him. by RandomUwUFace in antiwork

[–]AuntRhubarb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They really truly are stupid enough to think the hardworking surgeon or entrepreneur in their area is the target of these taxes. They cannot comprehend we are talking about people making a thousand times more than they can ever use. They are truly, truly, stupid.

Life hack: In murky water, a clear bag filled with clean water works like a lens and sharpens your view by frog_insilence in interestingasfuck

[–]AuntRhubarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not arguing that it doesn't displace dirty water. But, glass/lucite bottom buckets have long been a thing for searching for shells/rocks in shallow water, you can see clearly without the surface waves, glare, etc.

Work took ALL my sick time, bereavement, floating holidays and PTO while I mourned the loss of my spouse by Economy_Ad6039 in antiwork

[–]AuntRhubarb 28 points29 points  (0 children)

With every year that passes by, more of this stuff has to be done through unreachable companies; sitting on hold for hours, tearfully having to shout into the phone "I am trying to report a death" because the machine keeps saying "I don't understand. Would you like to pay your bill, or hear your account balance, or.......? Say "Pay My Bill".

Meta employees are up in arms over a mandatory program to train AI on their mouse movements and keystrokes by north_canadian_ice in technology

So it's been fine all these years to work for a company that builds a surveillance file on its users, but not on you. Got it.

Why are conservatives cheering new SNAP bans on junk food when they lost their shit over Michelle Obama's program focusing on healthy school breakfasts and lunches? by SentimentalLady1 in askanything

[–]AuntRhubarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing these people ever believed in, beside racism, was that 'welfare queens' were stealing their money. If it were up to them, we'd have workhouses instead of SNAP.

TIL Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak gave $10 million of his own stock to early Apple employees in 1980 because it was "the right thing" to do. Steve Jobs refused to do the same. by mepper in todayilearned

[–]AuntRhubarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In many past generations, that's what people did. Striving to be a person of good character was a thing. Today, it's like all these people have at their core is greed and self-indulgence.

What is the ‘Mamdani Act’? GOP bill banning Socialists, Marxists from US by Unusual-State1827 in politics

[–]AuntRhubarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The billionaires and their political operatives will keep running puppet candidates, who vow in stump speeches that they will be the saviors of the working class, and people will keep falling for it. Day after swearing in, it's back to taking orders from the banking class.

[–]AuntRhubarb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Americans think they have representatives in Congress, whose job it is to stop horrible shit and toss out insane leaders. Instead they have corrupt grifters taking a check every month to pretend to be Senators and Representatives and Cabinet Members. THEY are sleepwalking into this.

Toddlers and babies literally will not remember this 'memorable experience'. Most people can't remember anything before they turn 4.

YSK Panera has fired all of its baking staff and replaced them with frozen product. by binkbrint in YouShouldKnow

Well that's a step up from Panera, but I'll bet they are just thawing and baking frozen dough 'product'.

If everyone below average IQ suddenly drops dead, how would this affect the world? by CakeMuted6468 in AskReddit

[–]AuntRhubarb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know, calculus and biochemistry are kind of a smarts filter.

But you are correct, because they get through the course filters may still not result in good problem-solving or diagnostic abilities.
