Does this mean we could finally have a representative under the age of 1000? No we’re just going to elect another dinosaur that thinks homes still cost a nickel? … okay

Maybe, but anecdotally my boomer aunt bought over $1,000 of apple gift cards and gave the card numbers over the phone to the “Apple support” guy with a thick Indian accent to get her hacked iCloud Photos back so…. I would like to see the different kinds of scams that both generations fall for.

Literally the plot to a south park episode lol

Bro banged on the door and broke a window to try to get in. He was literally forcefully entering a locked house, he didn’t just wander into an unlocked door by mistake.

No telling what the kid was trying to do or would have done if he got in. Home owners have to assume the person trying to kick in the door and breaking a window is there to do harm. Justified self defense to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.

Normal people don’t care that much about privacy for a group chat between their room mates. They’re not and they shouldn’t have to go out of their way to fulfill your request for a privacy based platform for a single group chat.

lol cope and be normal I guess? I understand insta isn’t great with privacy but it’s a group chat for your room mates. Make a burner account instead of forcing all of them to download some app they’ve never heard of for one group chat with people they are forced to be acquaintances with.

They’re likely all thinking you’re the odd man out because you’re making a fuss over a group chat.

I mean I understand why people do it, but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t suck and doesn’t make work just a little less tolerable for those having to deal with it.

Have you worked manual labor in a mask in the summer?

[-] xxkickassjackxx@lemmy.ml 51 points 1 year ago

Honestly I’m sad for everyone that works manual labor. Wearing a mask absolutely lowers the chance of both transmitting covid and getting covid, but working in 90+ degree weather lifting heavy shit for 8 hours a day wearing a mask sucks. It gets moist as all hell and fogs your glasses.

Source: I unloaded trucks outside all day 5 days a week for the entire summer of 2020 and 2021.

I’ll admit I don’t know much about European politics, but from a foreign view it’s scary. I’ve always seen the far right in American politics it’s more or less the status quo, but seeing the far right rise in modern Europe is shocking to me. Most of this is informed by what I’ve seen in the news about what’s been going on in Italy though.

Honestly a comforting read as someone who isn’t a huge Biden fan. Things are improving! As a person in their early 20’s it’s felt like the world fell apart right as I was entering the work force, nothing has been affordable and crime has been a major worry. Seeing that crime is down and we’re likely going to avoid a worse recession is like having a weight off my shoulders.

Keep it up Biden administration.

Possibly. I did blue collar work for years after university and became more left leaning.

They’ll grow out of it when they enter the job market. I was conservative in high school too until I moved out of mom and dads and realized that our society has created nothing worth conserving for anyone under the age of 50. Nothing will make you radical like realizing you will likely never be able afford a home and children.
