But the books are in! Priorities!

And weā€™re one of Krasnovā€™s top donors:

But they donated heavily to Trump AND to the Heritage Foundation, so clearly they wanted this. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

I get what you are saying Jay. Iā€™m referring to the ability to not live paycheck to paycheck and stress less about money.

With my ex I actually made a spreadsheet to show him how much it cost per hour of enjoyment! It was under $0.25!

Have you paid any attention to how little salaries have kept up with inflation for the last 30+ years? You already have us scraping the bottom of the barrel. JFC, take a little less execs, your wives will still have Birkins and Gucci and whatever else. We just want our bills on autopay.

To think that the two ideas are incompatible is laughable. The GOP has brainwashed their followers to think that those of us on the left want to destroy America, that we are lazy etc. Nothing could be further from the truth. I want merit based hiring that sees the strength of diverse people!

Itā€™s called Grid Gambit. I think itā€™s pretty wearable for me in this color way, I do like muted colors a lot and this yarn blocked has a lot of drape. Great to wear to work. Hereā€™s the pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

You are so fast! Didnā€™t you just start it? I swear I started following you last week! Itā€™s gorgeous!!

We have been for a while, even under Democrats. Iā€™d say we moved from bad to Evil though, so thereā€™s that? Movinā€™ up in the world!

Doesnā€™t trans also mean across? Like could that not refer to something not gender related?

Do you know where I find the after 6 chart? Mine have all had according to schedule and we will be sticking to it. I think we are close to done though.

Gorgeous! Mine is blocking now.

Just came back from our Costco trip! While we have always been Costco fans, we are shifting more of our spending there.

Yes! And makes people think they no longer need experts, because AI spits out an answer they think is right. Iā€™ve caught it making my teammates look stupid over and over again when they could have asked me, the SME. And yeah, I like being able to pay my Rocket Mortgage, sooā€¦ Iā€™d rather have a job.

At what energy and human cost? The processing power needed to do this is insane. It has massive economic and environmental costs. All so whatā€¦ an unqualified person can take the place of a qualified person?
comment in response to post
Takes the same amount of time and Iā€™ll even send the customer a video of me actually solving their problem, with an example relevant to their business. Now, have AI do other tasks for me, like find fun things to do with the kids? Sure. I still check to make sure they are actually happening.

Iā€™m going to push back on this. I work in solution engineering and Iā€™m very knowledgeable about the products I support. I canā€™t tell you how many times in the last year Iā€™ve seen account execs send customers wrong answers about our product from our own AI, instead of just asking me.

Definitely happening here and my local Democratic Club is promoting as much as possible. Not getting a lot of media coverage.

Thank you!

What if I just promise to make my ADHD kiddo do some yard work? Can he keep access to the meds that have completely turned his academic career around? Pretty please? šŸ¤¬
comment in response to post
Stunning!

So you admit it? Peak masculinity is being a complete douche who steals from veterans, the elderly and other hard working Americans to enrich himself because his appetite for wealth is insatiable. No wonder feminists reject the patriarchy. Itā€™s awful.

Calling out my junior senator, @senatorslotkin.bsky.social just like I did in my phone call yesterdayā€¦ where ARE YOU? A former CIA agent with. I respect for vets? GET OUT THERE.

And yet they sanewashed him for four freaking years.
comment in response to post
Sooo, when it tanks everything will we finally admit that patriarchy ruins everything?
comment in response to post
Iā€™ve never seen him have anything to play with. Who brings a kid somewhere without a bag full of toys?

Oh, I just finished one of these and need to block it tomorrow! Such a fun pattern.

I was so excited to see you knitting during a video that I sent a screenshot to my husband! Thatā€™s great progress for a new knitter! Welcome to the šŸ§¶ community!

This is one of my favorite things about it, too! šŸ¤£

Duh. Ethnic cleansing is fine if you build them beautiful communities. Beautiful homes. /s

Anytime you see a Black pilot, or doctor, or scientist, you know they had to overcome more bias to get where they are, so to me, Iā€™m less nervous.
