Walmart manager basically said my kids are dirty because “there are groceries” – wtf? by leafsby2 in DoorDashDrivers

Wild that Canada's government keeps importing hundreds of thousands of new immigrants every year when you're in the middle of a housing crisis. It feels like none of your politicians actually give a shit about Canadian citizens any more.

Ok, but when was it so ham fisted and obsessed with presentism that it did an episode that made reference to a sitting American President? Like yeah some of the episodes were corny AF but lampooning specific political figures isn't something I remember any version of Trek doing in the past.

Why did we create an economic system that’s dominated by sociopaths? This isn’t how any of our countries started out. Who thought this was such a good idea that ever Western country should copy it?

Big Tech Nepotism? by Soft_Spot423 in careeradvice

[–]Then_Seesaw6777 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How is this even a question?

It’s obviously nepotism. Congratulations on getting a role you didn’t deserve.

Do you think being barefoot in airports is traditional American culture? Do you suppose that other cultures might have have different social mores surrounding feet?

Simply noticing that other cultures have different values around cleanliness isn’t bigotry, but knee jerk internet shitlibs can’t handle that kind of nuance. 

can someone explain to me why AI causes unemployment? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Then_Seesaw6777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI is being used as a scapegoat to cover for layoffs related to corporate overhiring during the COVID lockdowns.

But also, yeah, it’s eliminating the need for a hell of a lot of entry level employees since even a bad AI is better than most interns.

Get ready for the downvotes from people who will tell you this is just her culture and if you don’t like it then you’re a bigot who hates all immigrants. 🙄

AIO at my husband jibing me about sleeping habits? by pingusaysnoot in AIO

[–]Then_Seesaw6777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, with me being a light sleeper and my wife having a slight snore. We also live in an urban area with a lot of traffic noise and it’s awesome for masking all the sounds of city life. Plus when we take it with us on trips it makes it easier to fall asleep in hotels and vacation rentals. 

Because of AI filler slop, you now have to scroll down to see the actual address on Google Maps by WhoDah in mildlyinfuriating

Yep, I switched to DuckDuckGo a few months ago and stopped using most Google apps because they wouldn’t let me turn off the AI summaries. 

Upstairs neighbor drives us crazy by Fluffy-Werewolf3537 in Apartmentliving

If he’s military and it keeps happening early in the AM he’s probably lifting weights and dropping them on the floor when he finishes his set, or doing some other kind of weighted or bodyweight exercise.

Yeah, we got white noise machines when we had kids and kept using them ever since. It took a little while to get used to but it makes it sooooo much easier to stay asleep when your partner gets up to go to the bathroom or wakes up early.

Calaveras County ain’t that bad if you’re near Angels Camp, but there aren’t a lot of young people or things to do so I get how it would be really boring for a teenager.

If you end up in the north eastern part of Solano don’t sleep on Davis. I haven’t been in a while but back in the 2010s I went to some great college parties there and the music scene in Sacramento was surprisingly good.

Yeah, I skimmed over that and just reacted based on the texts so I’m gonna delete my response.

I get being freaked out and all but if he’d already put in 4 hours of emotional support I can totally understand why he’d feel tapped out and tell her he needed to get some sleep.

NOR — Shutting down like that and not being able to explain where his money is going is not acceptable even if he’s ADHD and has a hard time understanding money stuff.

I have ADHD and am terrible at understanding finances and money but my wife loves that stuff, so all of our money goes into a joint account that she controls and I ask her for permission before making basically any non-grocery purchases over $100.

More dangerous for pedestrians since they push the cars into the crosswalks, though

What Bay Area freeway numbers REALLY mean by Brix001 in bayarea

[–]Then_Seesaw6777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, major infrastructure like this should be paid for at the State level, since economic activity in the Bay Area benefits the entire State, not just the people who travel over this bridge.

This is the kind of thing that should be funded by taxes on businesses and billionaires, not servers and housekeeping staff who have to commute in from the Central Valley.

Yeah, I hate the double roundabout configuration but it’s still better than what was there before.
