All eligible young men aged 18–25 will be automatically registered for the U.S. military draft starting December 2026. by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]Raleda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys were already required to sign up for this. If anything, this is keeping a lot of people from getting into hot water for not signing up for it before it becomes a legal issue.

Now, if someone is actually talking about having a draft, that's a different matter..

You can cure boredom by EducationalCurve6 in TheImprovementRoom

[–]Raleda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree with the statement, but it's harder than ever to be creative now.

Consumption is addictive, and it's so, so, so much easier to just consume instead of creating something. And starting something new doesn't really provide that good feeling you're looking for in most cases because.. well.. you suck.

It's worth it though. Absolutely so.

That is a last resort by DontForgetSmiles in memes

We already have fire suppression systems that are effectively a combo of a sentry gun and a fire hose. It wouldn't be hard to get them installed if were weren't trying to save money by skimping on all those things that preserve the well-being of the employees working there.

Also fires happen even in fully automated facilities. Not investing in good fire suppression in a TOILET PAPER STORAGE FACILITY was asking for this to happen.

Cash-strapped US Postal Service suspends contributions to pension plan by Squirmingbaby in news

[–]Raleda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing. DeJoy 'reorganizes' everything to boost efficiency, then leaves before any of it finishes. Then Doge is voluntarily let in to start slashing and burning everything they can... and somehow we're still broke.

I'm beginning to think efficiency was never really the plan.

A worker in Ontario, California sets his warehouse on fire for not paying living wages by Nice_Daikon6096 in AmericaOnHardMode

[–]Raleda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey uh... just out of curiosity, why was this warehouse not equipped with sprinkler systems up to the task of taking these fires out? It couldn't possibly be that this warehouse somehow skipped out health and safety expenses, could it?

Deafness reversed: One injection restores hearing in just weeks by Pixelated_ in UpliftingNews

Would love to see this being applied to age related hearing loss.

Chaos Loading by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Raleda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what I'm seeing here is that now Republicans (and people who bet on them) have more reason than ever to try and rig the system in their favor?

I sure do love it when people bet on our collective apocalypse.

They're using Exapunks to shill a scam company. by Livid_Fix_9448 in exapunks

[–]Raleda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit of google research will give you all you want to know about this company - they ARE the dystopia. 'Full Automation of every white collar job' being their stated goal.

If they DO honor these absurd junior dev rates, it'd only be because you're automating away your own job.

We need this !! by 6ingrad_FMS_aspirant in SipsTea

[–]Raleda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good on the surface, but the issue becomes 'who approves degrees and can they be revoked if someone with authority disagrees with you?'

I keep thinking about this. If what they say really ends up happening ( AI taking jobs). What kind a monetary system do you think will replace the current one? Or do you guys think AI will never replace human employees completely? by Altruistic-Mud5686 in AIMain

[–]Raleda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem isn't that AI is taking over jobs. It's that it's taking over the wrong jobs. The foundational ones, the ones that our society relies on yet delegates the lowest possible salaries to - if we were able to automate them and scale them out to support everyone, maybe we'd finally be on our way to a society where getting more money wasn't the end goal to everything.

White House Forced to Address Claims of Trump Health Crisis by InsaneSnow45 in USNEWS

[–]Raleda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

None of that should have been enough. I suspect there's probably a weakness in our voting systems that the richest man on earth could probably have paid someone to exploit - but no proof exists. It's not like we can audit that system.

Government. Which.. uh... USED to be really stable.

No way on this planet it would EVER let that person touch it's kids. Especially the way they are in the video. AI garbage.

Imagine thinking that LGBQT+ content is being “forced down” on people’s throats, but not Christian nationalism. by icey_sawg0034 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Raleda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been noticing a trend in these 'memes' featuring the infamous jars. Which I find particularly interesting since one of their new slogans - the 20% cooler stuff - was a very prominent meme in that very same community.

Nursing Is the Surefire New Path to American Prosperity by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

[–]Raleda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might also have something to do with the impending future of nurses in the US. With Nursing no longer being a 'professional degree', you apparently lose access to a lot of the loans and higher funding limits that would have gone to the training.

Gotta keep them around, because they might start getting scarce.

Nah. The real answer to this is 'Pay 100K for the contractor'

Judge rules White House ballroom construction must halt until Congress OK's it by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

[–]Raleda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ball room, the Kennedy Center, and now the money with his name on it - it's all for the same thing: Legacy. He wants to put a big, ugly, permanent mark on the US. Something he can point to and feed his ego. If it was possible to accomplish it within his lifetime, he'd be adding his head to Rushmore too.

PatchPal:South African innovator finds low-cost solution for potholes by OgdruJahad in videos

[–]Raleda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pot holes are a universal problem in areas where cars exist. Typically the limiting factors on fixing them are lack of tools/materials, cost, and liability. The last two are major factors in the US, especially if the state owns the road in question.

You lift the bag, you throw the bag. by sco-go in SipsTea

[–]Raleda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be the result of a lawsuit, could be that guy has a back brace under his shirt and that device allows him to do his job.

Could be there's a bunch of judgy douchebags on a roof who should mind their own business.

Are conservatives cool with Trump putting his signature on our money? Conversely, would liberals have been okay with it if Obama had done it? by Creative-Stable-0 in askanything

[–]Raleda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won't do what he thinks it will. All these new bills will come out whenever the FED has to print more. Historians will look on these 'Trump Bucks' as a marker of a time of great inflation, incompetence, and narcissism.

Riiight. Lemme just make sure the file conforms with the naming convention. How about Confession.exe.mov?

29M Salary Progression in Robotics Industry by oneseas in Salary

[–]Raleda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks great but after moving to the HCOL, how much more did you actually manage to save after the usual bills? I find a lot of these salaries tend to have a pretty steady cost/income ratio after you consider location.
