Grocery shopping and food prep is always an option. Cheaper and healthier too.

If you have time to browse Lemmy, you got time to throw some shit in an air fryer/insta pot/slow cooker.

Jesus, it’s like they want you to order online from a third party instead of paying them.

The argument I keep seeing against fast food being too expensive is “use the app! It’s cheaper”. Fuck that. I bought frozen junk food and an air fryer. McDonald’s can keep their 15$ meals*

*Disclaimer that I don’t actually know how much a meal is these days, but I know it’s gone way up. Also, I do still buy from McD when I need to shit out a hangover. Sue me.

What if we were finally able to get insurance companies out of healthcare in the US? Thousands would lose their jobs, but millions would suddenly be able to get care. So much money would be saved, but so many people would suddenly be out of work.

I don’t know about you, but I hate paying several hundred dollars a month (and 100s or 1000s if I actually get care) to prop up a whole ass middleman between me and my care.

Anyway, my point is we can’t keep old systems just l only for the sake of preserving jobs. The guy you’re replying to is short sighted and relying too heavily on a language imitation program, but he’s essentially right about not keeping jobs just because.

Hell yes, young men need this. Else they wouldn’t fall for Tate and similar grifters.

I’ll bet you guys made a big impact on the kid. You at least got him closer to a happier healthier life than he otherwise would have been.

I fucking hope so? Tf else do these exist

I do SEO as my day job.

I’ve only ever done white hat, and it’s all about content relevance to user intent, creating a site that loads quickly and functions in an intuitive way, and is coded so that search engines can easily understand the site.

Of course the goal is almost always to get you to buy something, but all it really is is best practices for online publishing.

You want an argument in favor of not letting consumers repair things they’ve purchased?

Would that just be cucumber oil?

I went through the same thing, but I think it was multiple for 50. Total.

However, it was college loan money and I thought that would be too irresponsible to spend 50 on something like that.

Shit

Look. Asking for an old, scared-of-clicking-on-the-wrong-thing-when-trying-to-just-have-a-quick-dj-diddles-moment friend.

How y’all finding porn on here? I’m still just looking at front page. No idea how to look anything up on purpose.

Or so my friend tells me.

Please do this, for science!

Thanks for the rec, this pod looks very interesting!

Just saw that I have responses to things! New Sync user, don’t mind me.

Looks like you got your sources, but wanted to address major companies and real estate. Commercial real estate has way longer leases than residential. And their landlords don’t have any incentive to let them break lease early. Who else is going to come rent that space?

Of course these companies want to “make use” of those wasted dollars. Even major companies aren’t immune to sunk cost fallacy.

Or men that do have a happy life at home, but don’t want to be home w/o the wife because children are women’s work (I worked with a guy pre COVID that didn’t take WFH days because he might have to watch kids on his own)

I’m like this too, but also social. I screw around with my coworkers so much in the office. I have to be home for my own good!

If the source of the article is suspect, where is the research by tech firms with a vested interest in cloud and communication platforms publishing counter studies?

Probably swimming in their Scrooge McDuck piles of cash since WFH became more widespread?

It’s the landlords losing money and the owner/C-suites not being able to see their minions in one place that are pumping out these articles.
