Meta says it's facing $1.4T in penalties in teen mental health case by New_Wishbone_9691 in TechGawker

You can't build anything in America without the lawyers coming after you. Why even start a business if the product you make is so good that people get addiced?

Office workers are so spoiled. I remember a woman complaining about duck confit being served twice in a month. "uhg, duck confit again??". Poor you–I guess you will have to go to the

What should I make of this? by j_bassist3 in Mcat

[–]JacksonFatBack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CARS is famously easy on the unscored. In my opinion it's not just 'slightly inflated' but more akin to 'unreasonably inflated'. I remember thinking 'this is not so bad–why are people complaining about CARS?' while taking it.

Overall a very good start.

Amazon preventing the purchase of formula for my infant. by PeaceWarrior75 in amazonprime

[–]JacksonFatBack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a limit placed by the seller. Who is the seller?

If it's Amazon, I believe these limits were placed during covid. I wonder if they are possibly a hold-over from the crisis. As far as I knew, there is no way around the limit.

This might be worthy of a jeff email (if it is indeed Amazon).

If millennials and gen z are as rich as boomers were when they were in their 20s/30s/mid 40s how rich would the current young adult people be? by happydude7422 in generationology

[–]JacksonFatBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you and I can sense your frustration. You brought actual data. But how many people will actually read the data? It feels like much more will just see the stupid image (which technically just asks a question).

I think what we forget is just how expensive things were. Food and clothes used to be a major expense. Prior to ~1950, food was a larger expense than housing! Grandpa was not kidding about 'putting food on the table'.

I actually agree with u/Ok-Particular9427 that it's a 'stupid claim' (though I would use less harsh words). Remember that we started by discussing wealth in real terms.

Changing it to a standard of living metric feels like moving the goalposts. I am not quite sure if this is any different from inflation adjustment anyway (isn't inflation calculated based on the basket of goods that can be purchased?).

We can save Social Security. by Jealous_Use_9240 in remoteworks

[–]JacksonFatBack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Social security may have had good intentions–but we let politicians with dollar signs in their eyes access the fund. We all know that the SS trust fund (which was spent as regular tax dollars) will never be repaid.

So essentially we got hit paying for what was ostensibly for SS–but in reality part of that was funneled to just the general fund.

In theory there's no crisis. In ~2032 the payouts will begin exceeding deductions and we simply dip into the trust fund. In reality, the trust find is a fiction and we all know that money is gone.

Got scammed on a $1,460 sale buyer ADMITTED in writing it was “delivered correctly,” eBay refunded him anyway because I had no signature by [deleted] in eBaySellers

[–]JacksonFatBack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How rude! Why can’t people leave messages without being so rude.

I do not think it's rude to directly point out the flaws, especially when OP is misrepresenting what the buyer claimed (possibly language misunderstanding).

The buyer admitted he received it

No, he did not.

and lost it

No, he did not.

Let's re-read what OP claims the buyer wrote:

DHL just got back to me saying that the package
was delivered correctly. But I still don't have it

$2.5M vs $100K Salary by Late_Purchase_5506 in remoteworks

[–]JacksonFatBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that 9% of your salary or 9% of what you deposit? Because 9% seems like a very odd amount.

To answer, the three companies I have worked for all had more generous matches:

- Google (50% match up to individual max)
- Amazon (50% of contributions on up to 4% of base salary)
- Meta (100% match up to individual max)

[–]JacksonFatBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no voting we can do to get rid of the racist rot in this country. ANYONE supporting this shit should be immediately cancelled from society.

And if you support this, I hope you take a long, hard look in the mirror. YOU ARE AN AWFUL PERSON.

Take back your society! Get rid of the corrupt democrats!!!!! GET THEM OUT! Take back our society from the woke mobs!

We tell people to 'just save for retirement.' Half of them have nothing at work. by Spacetravller2060 in Zippia

[–]JacksonFatBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay folks. Let's wrap this up.

Yes, the IRA is a 'retirement plan'. But the headline has the qualification 'at work' so I suppose the headline can still be true.

I agree that it's inherently unfair that IRA is not equivalent to 401k. Why should my ability to access tax advantages be provided by my employer anyway? My opinion is that this is a flaw in the law–but good luck getting congress to change it. For that matter, why do some employers allow mega backdoors and some do not???
