Man it’s a 4 hour video. Of a review of a hotel. At no point in modern history was that the kind of thing that many people had the attention span to watch

Good thing I can avoid all those junk fees and get a better place to stay by going through AirBnB, right guys?.. right?

Probably sponsored by a local Church. I’m sure that prisons in areas with large Jewish, Muslim, etc. populations have similar programs.

Talking out of my ass here, I can’t imagine it would be that difficult for someone to get a holy book from a different religion, though

Dollar General is cancer. Their prices are no better than somewhere like Walmart, the only “good” thing is the convenience, I feel like I can’t drive ten minutes without passing one

When I was a young man, I became deeply fascinated with black holes. I’d lie in my bed at night and try to imagine what it would feel like to enter one.

I pre-ordered one (1) game ever and that was Watch_Dogs in 2013 for the PS3. Was enough to teach me to never do that again

STEM degrees might be the most devalued now anyway. Most STEM employers (STEMployers?) are flooded with applications from kids who got a 4 year degree with no other relevant experience. At least non-STEM education focuses more on soft skills

Don, I’m really rooting for you here but you need to proofread your posts before you submit them. That title makes no sense for people just scrolling through

I’m sitting at my desk rn looking at my Mitsubishi VCR

Not necessarily although I hadn’t heard of Saudi Aramco until your comment.

In western terms, the Keiretsu combined vertical and horizontal integration; only a handful of companies owned almost every level of production and had “gentleman’s agreements” to avoid heavy competition with one-another. What makes the Keiretsu unique is that the companies were chosen and consolidated by the US government and structured to be sympathetic to America and unlikely to rebuild the Imperial Army. Former fighter plane manufacturers were made into electric keyboard makers, rifle companies became borers for motors for small cars, etc. It’s why you get scenarios like the OP meme

I’d suggest reading into the Keiretsu Corporations that the US supported during the occupation era. In short, the US had a pretty big interest in creating a series of companies more powerful than the government (sound familiar), because they’d be more loyal to the US (AKA: “Capitalism, The Country”). Keiretsu follows some uniquely Japanese concepts like interdependence and societal betterment that you don’t really see affecting many western companies

…I mean, you DO realize that 1988 has no significant historical ties to the nazis right?

My username is a joke and you are wrong

The call was coming from inside the house!?

But writing that I’m a nerd for figures and love assigning numbers to cases and also love large and properly formatted data files sounds ridiculous.

Welcome to job searching, it’s all bullshitting anyway

I honestly don’t know why this guy doesn’t just hire a couple ghostwriters to finish things, proofread them himself, publish them and be done with it

🤏🎻

I don’t feel bad for these people

pity Olympics

If 40% of your income every month is being vaporized into nonequitable housing, you’re probably broke. You being taken advantage of even more than most people doesn’t make them “not broke” and that reply makes you frankly come across as a jaded cynic more than anything.

“Okay I cut back on the SODAS and AVACADO TOAST and CONCERT TICKETS(!) and now I’m saving $76/month. Any tips on rent taking up 40% of my income?”

you’re just bad at managing money.

No, this country is bad at paying people.

I’ve been saying this for months now. If every metric of the economy says things are doing great but people are reporting unprecedented levels of economic anxiety, then the only thing we know is that the metrics we use to measure the economy are flawed!

Seriously. An economy isn’t dictated by natural law. We’re not finding the diffusal rates of two different viscous liquids or trying to piece together why particle X behaves the way it does in light, in other words: there is no “right answer” to be revealed through observation. We’re talking about an entirely man-made, artificial social construct. If the people who make up “the economy” are saying the economy’s bad, we already have the conclusion and should be working backwards from that.

That title was concerning before the picture loaded
