Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much of your salary do you spend on your basic needs?
2·5 days ago2/3rds of my income goes just to paying rent/utilities at this point. I do have some money taken out of my check for retirement because I would be foolish not to, but at this rate it looks like retirement might not be in the cards for my generation at all. Even with the few extra bucks at the end of the pay period, it wouldn’t amount to much.
Every time I get a pay increase, it seems like the cost of living is right there on my heels, clawing back any significant gains I might have enjoyed.
For real, there is a line that demarcates my life into two distinct segments- before CPAP and after CPAP. It’s no joke when I describe it as a life changing event. If you’re thinking about getting checked out for it, just do it. You won’t regret it even if you do end up having to use the machine.

politics @lemmy.world•‘Trump has surrendered to Iran’: Some prominent GOP hawks fear Trump just caved
7·7 days agoHow could it be described as anything other than caving? According to the leaked preliminary details, all he did was just secured Obama’s deal, but worse since at least Obama carved out provisions to ensure that inspections were being done to verify that Iran was not building a nuclear program. What we are getting is a pinky promise, leaving the door open to future bombings when the schizo USA decides to play world police again.
I’m also not convinced Charlie Brown has finally kicked the football here. Deal isn’t final until the ink is dry, and Pakistan will likely call out Israel for continuing to bomb Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire agreement.

politics @lemmy.world•JD Vance says he will discuss 2028 presidential run after midterm elections
1·7 days agoSure buddy, you’re allowed to run from a prison cell. Your best buddy Trump will be right there next to you, and I’m sure he’ll use his daily phone call to canvas for you.
The domestication process is endless fascinating to me.
Not if we can summon the political will to tax them out of existence altogether.
But who am I kidding? The oligarchs in control are just waiting for their turn to be trillionaires themselves.

8·12 days agoNobody wants their name and medical career attached to this bloated walking corpse.

World News@lemmy.world•Mexico cuts workweek, bans after-hours contact, and guarantees no worker will take a pay cut in the most sweeping labor reform in a generationEnglish
72·14 days agoThis is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it, we do not use it.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Donald Trump's Iran war timeline changes to another 2 weeks as public anger growsEnglish
4·14 days agoLong since passed, but that would require congress to actually do something (impossible).
Being a healer in an MMO is the real power fantasy.
At least until you get toxic tryhards who post overheal meters to the LFR chat. Like, you didn’t die and we cleared the raid, so who cares if I overheal? lmao.

Technology@lemmy.world•“Sloppenheimer:” Amazon Employees Mock the Company’s AI on SlackEnglish
14·14 days agoI’d love to hear him explain his thought process behind that theory. How exactly is AI going to do all of that? Like, all of that sounds wonderful, but so does winning the lottery. How likely is all of that to happen? And what are the risks involved if it doesn’t materialize the way he envisions?
We really need to stop letting these rich fucks just talk out of their ass.

World News@lemmy.world•Donald Trump: 'Total victory' will be achieved over Iran within two weeks | The Jerusalem PostEnglish
5·14 days agoHe does, sort of. It’s his base that are all proverbial goldfish.
They didn’t even take the last global pandemic seriously until it was way too late.
Unfortunately, rich people got even richer as a result of the massive government spending trying to keep the lid on the pot that had already boiled over, so they’ll never have an incentive to actually take it seriously when they know they won’t be negatively affected by it.
Pasta spoon. Objectively inferior to tongs as a utensil for serving spaghetti with. I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Technology@lemmy.world•In first, California city overwhelmingly votes to permanently ban datacentersEnglish
7·18 days agoSpeaking from experience here, there are vastly more people employed just to build datacenters than there are to fully staff one. Hundreds of engineers, consultants, general contractors and construction laborers to build the datacenter versus maybe a dozen people at best to staff a football field sized datacenter. If datacenters go away those builders will still have jobs because they’ll just pivot to building schools or hospitals or whatever else is needed at the time. Heck, even the IT guys who work on the racks could pivot and find another role somewhere else.
The only people who will be out of a job when the AI bubble pops are the hucksters pushing it.




The mirroring aquaduct was sabotaged by the sinister Visigoths. Verily, the solution must be drained and refilled at the cost of ten thousand libra denarii funded by the SPQR.
