How many of you have received these calls? I got a ton of them along with my husband and siblings.

As others have already stated, the job market is fine, the stocks are fine, but the ability to afford living day to day is worse than I have ever remembered. Here in my cheaper state here are some random prices:

• A bag of Doritos is over $7.
• Beef shortage makes ground beef for a family of 4 $14
• Gas prices are over $3.70
• My grocery bill increased by nearly 50% overall and we are buying less on top of that
• Car prices are through the roof, making it impossible for people like me to change cars (I’m hearing they are going to drop again soon)
• Rent prices are soaring to the point where it isn’t sustainable
• Interest rate keeps rising

Just like North Korea is called DPRK: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The fascist use whatever words are in fashion to name themselves.

While true, unfortunately the latest government spy bill is bipartisan. It will make end to end encryption for texts and chat illegal, using drug enforcement as the excuse.

Yes, we definitely need vital resources like this to be state owned.

This is why tech monopolies are bad. Google waited until they had a near monopoly on the browser engine and then pulls this shit. Alternatives still exist though, and people will vote with their actions by either not using Chrome or not using those websites that have DRM.

Creating nuclear power plants should be a high priority. At 112 degrees, AC is not optional. The state should be making sure that everyone has access to low cost, clean energy.

Taking a private citizens’s nudes and sharing it against their will in congress may go against the spirit of that clause. I would love to see how this holds up in court.

Yeah, AI is killing tons of jobs, but there is no reason to let it without a fight.

Jeez… with that you might as well do as I do and just go to Staples and print from there. No need to buy a machine or paper and it’s cheap.

Yeah, the rest of the instance is a cesspool as well. Dank memes isn’t the worst of it.

I have bipolar disorder and I had taken medication for years. I stopped a couple months ago due to side effects but I know that eventually I will need them again. I am “enjoying” the break though. Good and bad emotions hit harder now but my sex drive is coming back and my emotions towards other are coming back. I was a bit emotionless on the medicine.

But like I said, I am bipolar 1. I will eventually need the meds again. It’s a medical fact that I will experience these highs and lows due to my brain structure. I have been so manic before I literally saw stars. I have been so depressed that I was ready to off myself. I used to have horrible night episodes as an adult that went away after I was medicated. They haven’t come back yet even though I am not any longer medicated.

Fortunately, I have familial support who will let me know when I need to medicate again and a strong moral sense that I never deviate from. Medicine is needed for bipolar people. Some of us can function for a time without it but it really is just a matter of time before we need it again. It’s up to the severity of the current cycle.

Good for her. I feel bad though that her mom did that to her. It’s hard enough without such a name.

I think the problem isn’t the quality of movies. After all, we have had some really good ones with some that did well (including 2 Marvel ones) like Guardians 3, the Spider-verse movie, Super Mario, Avatar, Dungeons & Dragons, etc…

The problem is that nobody wants to go to the movies anymore. It’s as simple as that. The theater has lost its audience now that streaming is mainstream. Why pay for a $8 coke and $10 popcorn when I have my whole home kitchen available?

Also, even streaming is seeing its audience’s time grabbed away by other things. In my house, making time away from video games, YouTube, and online socializing to watch a 2 hour movie isn’t always easy. Folks have to put away their hobbies and normal entertainment for a passive experience. It’s not always an easy sell.

So no, I don’t think something is wrong with the movies that are coming out. I don’t think an increase in quality will help. I think they should aim for streaming more and away from theaters.

Desantis needs to stop with the culture war bullshit.

How can you be gender essentialist and non-binary at the same time? Also, how can you suddenly decide to be a trans woman? These things make no sense. Was she mentally disturbed?

Eventually, Jackson received a parcel containing a photograph of the fan, a gun, and a letter instructing him to die at a particular time. The fan would do the same once she had killed “their” baby, so they could be together in the “next life”. The Jacksons later discovered that the fan had been sent to a psychiatric hospital.

Wow. 😳

As he should call it out. The number of dead is wild in that migrant boat tragedy. 5 people are not better than 500.

KDE should be here in the feddiverse where it is open source.

Two things happened:

1. culture wars are at an all time high due to right wing lies and attempts to push everyone not like them back into a culture of fear and hiding. So they are more sensitive to stuff they would not have batted an eye over before.

2. stories no longer have men controlling everything and having all the authority/adventures
