@twig_lalaland@prettycritical ya tbh ChatGPT can be really good for people like that. I did a number of years in logistics and goddam... most our people wrote in all caps with abbreviations that harken back to the days of flip phones with no keyboard.
@kamikazecash@GatorBaiteyf I think it goes deeper than that. much of our way of life here depends on infinite growth. stagnation alone is devastating. contraction would be apocalyptic.
which honestly makes the argument even *less* compelling to me. we're focusing all our resources on our only child.
@GodofGrunts@valigo@SmorglesBord I fucking *wish* PowerShell worked on Linux. call me a heathen but I hate parsing strings.
but no, I can't even use PowerShell remoting from Linux in to Windows. why did they even bother "porting" it?
@WarMaster1776@BlackLabelAdvsr ya I moved out of my eastern Washington home town to the Seattle(ish) area
real estate prices had basically equalized. I could live 45 mins from Seattle or 2.5 hours in to fucking nowhere.
people ask when we'll come back. I tell the we can't afford to. ๐ซ
@StatisticUrban you couldn't pay me enough to live east of Colorado
the Rocky "Mountains" are honestly pathetic vs the mighty Cascades
but the Appalachians?? over here they'd be hills unworthy of names... ๐
@kolo_revived@StatisticUrban@DanMcIntyre5 ...huh, now I'm starting to get a little tinfoil hat about this
we've managed our water supplies like shit for decades. datacenters sure do make a nice scapegoat.
@oddhanfoo@awsomehog1 I love the magical West Coast 5th season just before fall: Smoke
sure the wildfires sometimes destroy whole towns, but the really fun part is the inescapable smoke that covers the entire state ๐ซ
@Aethelcynd@LinkofSunshine a decent bottle of white wine, a fresh baguette, gotta have some EVOO and balsamic for the bread of course, etc etc.... /s
seriously tho the kind of whoopass seafood pasta dinner I could make for $60? shit man where are the scallops??
@nice_bnuuy@TheUnaButters "tomatoes" from the grocery store are inedible disgusting lumps of redish fiber
canned tomatoes are at least picked ripe...
fresh tomatoes from the garden? I'll eat it like a goddam apple
@Tonxellade@nocontextmemes shit man with $4,000,000 I ain't worried about losing 200lbs lmao
I'll hire someone to chase me with a taser for a year and pump GLP-1s in my veins until it's coming out my ears
@belize042@FiredUpCoug $200 dollars for boots? what are you, some kind of bourgeoisie scum????
seriously tho these poor Gen Z bastards are living a perpetual example of Sam Vimes theory of socioeconomic unfairness...
@FiredUpCoug there are exactly two sides to the food cost discourse:
this post
and
u bought a donut?? good luck ever owning a house u fkin noob[1] lmfao
[1] "noob" here is used as a pejorative, despite the fact the generation typically used as the butt of this discourse are in fact noobs
@Jonmicol@FiredUpCoug right but the point is learning ingredient reuse first
if you're not creative enough to reuse *mustard* then how the hell are you gonna reuse kale?
@kunalbinjewar09@Parkerlawyer can you imagine having a client walk in wanting to sue your old company for the exact same thing they did you 12 years ago *and you still have the receipts* in case you ever got a chance at revenge??
my god. they'd have to drain my justice boner at the ER.
@Vesmic87@Colorado_N8tive@ManitobaSAO bonus fun, the guy running maintenance on our condos went to prison for embezzlement ๐ never got the money back
Then all the retired HoA members didn't want to raise our already awful rates to catch up, so the banks wouldn't give out loans for the properties. took years to sell
