My second work phone is an iPhone, so I’m a lifelong iOS hater but I’ve had a few generations of them. Let me tell you these things crash all the time, it is only slightly better at covering for itself.

No I’m actually pretty sure I’m infallible. I went to Jerusalem recently and learned a great deal about myself.

Well just because it’s on my schedule doesn’t mean I’ll get to it, anyway.

Oh, okay. Cool.

I’ll reiterate the above examples are on empty roads, I don’t take chances with other drivers. That being said there’s no world where I’m wasting several minutes and gas just because a timer clicked off. I am a human being and while I respect machines and the intentions with which they were designed, machines hold no authority over me. And if it’s weight based and you ride a motorcycle you literally have no other choice as the bike won’t set it off. You can run the light or wait possibly hours for another vehicle to set it off for you. So if that makes me a chode then I guess I’m a big ol’ tuna can.

Okay.

Could you point out for me which behaviors are reckless, irresponsible, and chode like? I’m also dumb.

Pick one

No. I’ll admit my verbage could probably use some work, but oh well. Many traffic laws exist to fund police departments. I obey the laws that are grounded in reality. I’ve driven professionally and if 10000 hours of practice makes mastery then I’ve easily at least tripled that, easy. If you’re imagining someone driving like a complete douche that’s probably not me, as I’m extremely considerate of other drivers, having no faith in their abilities or perceptions. But I hate being in a car and when I’m driving I want it to end as quickly as possible so I will speed through a yellow if there’s visibility both ways and no cross traffic and I will speed on empty highways and I will treat traffic lights like four-way stops if there’s no one else on the road. Etc

Jokes on them, I drive recklessly as hell and in twenty years am at fault for zero accidents, while my wife hates driving with me and drives incredibly cautiously and has been at fault in accidents. Can the algorithm see past 'this person accelerates quicker therefore should have a higher premium" because otherwise I feel like the old system was working. It was frustrating to pay more as a young male driver, but I’ve proven myself and my abilities behind the wheel and wish to continue to pay accordingly.

That can’t be right.

Enshittification - a pattern of decreasing quality.

Why life expectancy in the US is falling.

Declining Health-Related Quality of Life in the U.S..

The enshittification of life is real.

Yep yep, same. Old droves get destroyed. My word that I’ll wipe the drive is apparently not enough.

I also work in a data center, I can’t take anything :(

That’s quite a claim to make without a source?

*It’s a wonder the rest of Lemmy hates this instance, y’all are insane.

How much energy is used by our current financial system? How much energy is consumed serving ads to every human on every platform every second of every day?? No one ever questions that totally necessary use of our limited resources 🙄

Edit: Didn’t realize you guys like ads.and the federal reserve so much. That’s gonna be a pretty major Yikes from me, Bros.

First they came for the TikTok, and I said nothing, for I wasn’t a Tiktoker.

Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport’s Terminal 2.

That’s sucks! I don’t know anything about anything but if you relocated for a job and they fired you within a certain time period depending on where you are located, you may be entitled to financial compensation. I’d contact your local labor board. Also if you feel like you were fired due to discrimination you should contact your local labor board and see if they’ll arrange an attorney for you as well. Sometimes crappy things aren’t so crappy in hindsight. I’m sure though it doesn’t feel like it now and I’m annoying AF saying it, down the line you’ll find yourself better off and grateful things worked out this way. It sounds like you got your foot in the door of an industry you want to work in, but these people, this environment, was not your dream job. It is relevant experience towards your dream job, though. Keep the dream alive!

If only there was some kind of international collaboration between nations to preserve the rights of humans the world over. It’s too bad nothing like that exists. 😔

That’s not a source, that’s a number. You have to link the sources, you can’t just paste Wikipedia. In any case this is a discussion about specifically the American middle class.

Edit’: Also I found the Wikipedia article you’re citing and it directly contradicts your point: “The modern usage of the term “middle-class”, however, dates to the 1913 UK Registrar-General’s report, in which the statistician T.H.C. Stevenson identified the middle class as those falling between the upper-class and the working-class.[14] The middle class includes: professionals, managers, and senior civil servants. The chief defining characteristic of membership in the middle-class is control of significant human capital while still being under the dominion of the elite upper class, who control much of the financial and legal capital in the world.”

Actually the term was coined at the 1939 Worlds Fair and popularized in '44 with Roosevelt’s signing of the GI Bill, but if you have even the smallest shred of evidence for your claims, go ahead, I’m humoring.
