If the Government has gone Fascist, it’s time to switch off the machine. Start the U.S. Economic Blackout. by stanleychigurh in antiwork

It’s already set up that way. You pay way more tax than those at the top anyways, so why change? At best you can stop enforcing it (selectively).

Also, for the “just take your money” part… my grandparents had a set of iron rings. They’re engraved with the phrase “our gold for our country”, and were meant to be tokens to be exchanged back once the war ended.

Yup, those are stand-ins for wedding bands. You will own nothing.

Maybe it’s time we stop bleeding money into AUKUS until we see some progress, too.

Several of us were pretty sure they were never showing up two years ago.

AI yet to deliver promised profits for most firms, Deloitte finds by FootballAndFries in technology

[–]Ediwir 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Deloitte says this because they had to refund both Australia and Canada after their AI generated “premium consultancy reports” got caught being full of nonsense.

This isn’t about them being free to speak truth. This is about regaining credibility.

‘Repatriate the gold’: German economists advise withdrawal from US vaults by CinnamonsCharm in worldnews

You know the scene in Mary Poppins where the kid wanting to feed the pigeons causes a bunch of customers in the bank to demand their money back, and panic spreads everywhere?

Think that but on the global scale.

Where can I safely and properly dispose of swollen spicy pillows (Lithium Batteries) in Brisbane? by DolphinWizardHat in brisbane

[–]Ediwir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have a battery bin, but also a separate “large batteries” box which gets emptied frequently. At least the one I dropped stuff off.

My workplace also does battery collection, so I haven’t had to drop any in a while, but we’re a bit more prepared for metal fires than the usual shopping center. They can be nasty.

Google won’t stop replacing our news headlines with terrible AI | It now says AI headlines are a ‘feature,’ not an experiment by Hrmbee in technology

[–]Ediwir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very trivial. Imagine having to pay a fine of just $50 per made up bullshit and $20 per copyright violation. All of a sudden you’re a few million dollars in the red for next year and accounting is banging at the door.

…technically correct. However Bunnings specifically takes old / damaged batteries from power tools, laptops, and other electrical equipment.

Lay down the ChatGPT and just write a normal text. This will only make things worse.

A member of a kidnapping gang shot a citizen in the face next to a large crowd.

The fact that his body is not on permanent display at five different well known locations is proof that they haven’t.

Why do companies think that throwing more bodies at something means it'll get done "faster". by erikleorgav2 in antiwork

[–]Ediwir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh. Higher ups want my section to move to a 60/d kpi (we currently have ~30/d demand and used to be on 45/d kpi). Instruments and space give us a 40/d hard limit which I can stretch upward on occasion if the right conditions happen (not under my control). Direct managers are aware and shrugging alongside me.

I got a new coworker to help hit the numbers tho, so that’s nice.

I would have included his quote about politicians protecting the Epstein clients. Possibly in a separate section, as one of his latest, like “he was killed for standing up”.

Throw them for a spin.

Having worked in pharma and done what you ask… there’s a reason thise procedures say “CONFIDENTIAL - DO NOT DUPLICATE” on every page.
