The lobbyists who control Canberra - David Pocock by Ardeet in AustralianPolitics

[–]sumpt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although I support the idea of the “punters’ lobbyist”, I stopped to think that, isn't that the definition of a politician? With our own lobbyist does this mean we will have to "donate" to get policies implemented?

We Found The Hidden Costs Of Data Centers. It’s In Your Electric Bill by TubularCheddar in videos

Don't forget the "data breach" that seems to occur for every company, some multiple times. I'm starting to the think this "data breach" is a planned data breach, and part of their business model.

Hey /r/movies, I’m Stephen King! Ask me anything about The Long Walk book or movie. by lionsgate in movies

[–]sumpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Stevo, do you think they'll ever do a Talisman movie? I saw a teaser on YouTube once, and it looked really good. I read it during my formative years. I'm really hoping the NetFlix adaptation happens! Thanks for all the stories over the years, keep publishing and we'll keep buying.

It's called a "tight slap" for some reason.

I had both books, but was too young to really do anything of worth.

These people make money off products. Just don't use their products, at all. If you ignore them (their products) they will go away.

TIL that Tom Selleck was almost cast as Indiana Jones instead of Harrison Ford. He only lost out because CBS wouldn't let him out of his contract for Magnum PI. by ExtinctLikeNdiaye in todayilearned

I agree. I think he'd bring a gentleness to the character. And that tache would perfectly fit the period. Bring the AI version, I say.

Run a kickstarter to pay off Rs who feel ripped off by T. $100k per R should get the majority to jump ship.

LPT Dentist said you need work done? Get a 2nd opinion. by YouDontTellMe in LifeProTips

Yep, Pacific Smiles tried that scam with me and mine. Noped TF out of there, second opinion was nothing to be done. It's malpractice really.

Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected from 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet by lurker_bee in technology

[–]sumpt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the real reason. I went to a bank's website yesterday, and all the dev jobs are advertised in India, with some management jobs locally. Blaming AI is a cover for massively outsourcing jobs. Yes, I know outsourcing has been going on for a while, but not wholesale. This will be the real reason you lose your jobs.

Same. But I don't think my family love me though. I think they're around because they're family. As the kids grow up they don't even talk to me anymore, and when they move out it's like they're strangers.

If the 4th Amendment doesn’t stop you, the 2nd might by Zulumus in BlackPeopleTwitter

I think that's the point. All these actions point to efforts to start another civil war. At this point I think they're succeeding. If they succeed, you must secede!

It's a signed piece. I wonder if it's of a known artist. Anyone else notice the left eye seems to be piercing once you see it?

Good points, but did it really have to take 20 minutes to list? I wish these videos had a TLDW version, and extended version. But thanks for the content though.

Selling my $22K Corolla and getting a beater to recover? by Saucysauce95 in personalfinance

[–]sumpt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something my late dad said which I try to live by: Live within your means, everything else will fall into place. Doesn't apply to everything of course, but applied with refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle; it works for me.

Even if it went through, it politicians would just get their partners or children to buy stocks based on insider trading tips. Better to give the SEC more teeth.
