Most CFA locations are franchises, meaning employee treatment varies wildly. I was paid $8/hr and worked 73 hour weeks. By contrast, the location down the street from me advertises $18/hr.

Prions are misfolded proteins that misfold other proteins they contact. They’re much harder to kill with heat or sanitizer and pretty much always fatal.

Sort of. EVs are very fast off the line, but generally very heavy. It might be good for handing out speeding tickets on a freeway, but a pursuit on surface streets would probably not go as well.

It’s also a fairly tall EV. I bet if you slid into a curb or something, it’ll roll like Peppy Hare.

Assuming the thing worked as advertised and they get a VERY steep discount, it might be a good idea?

I’m not commenting on whether that’s true or not, but it isn’t how it works in the south. If you want to play high school soccer or whatever, you have to quality by doing well in middle school. Some places, middle school is competitive enough to warrant tryouts.

Extracurriculars are also rapidly getting more expensive. Too many parents want to pretend their kids are in the NFL or NBA or whatever.

It’s also extremely common in the white community. They’re saying that his real name isn’t one that would cause someone to assume you are nonwhite, like Will Dewitt, Ashley Jones, or Casey Smith.

Kind of. “Gratuities” are legal, bribery is not, and presidents are immune for prosecution for acts undertaken as part of their duties.

A “gratuitity” must be made after the fact, which is still totally a type of bribery, but it isn’t the same as making all bribery legal as a blanket rule.

Presidents are now immune to prosecution, but only regarding official acts. The court refused to rule on what an official vs unofficial act is, basically meaning that they’ll decide whether something is legal or not when they feel like it. The obvious problem here is how heavily stacked the supreme court is, but they also didn’t just come out and say “fuck it, presidents have absolute power.”

Edit: To be clear, both of these rulings are absolutely fucking terrible. If our courts had any appropriate amount of oversight, the blatant corruption on display would be enough to see the court disbarred and indicted. They’re just not quite as bad as people describe on Lemmy.

My mother is 65 and ran a marathon last month.

I wouldn’t want her to try and do parkour or play football, but someone who exercises can absolutely stay fit well past middle age.

As a service person, this sounds great. You actually tip your barber more than I do.

The only thing I think you didn’t account for is fancier bars with elaborate cocktails, which tbf most people do not frequent. I’d do 15-20% for those, simply because it’s more involved service and more involved drinks.

Not necessarily. You can live outside your means at any income level.

Also, children are fucking expensive.

Unfortunately, cutting drugs with things to make them either cheaper or stronger is pretty common most places, in fact it’s basically universal here. Some weed dealers have relatively uncontaminated stock, but most don’t.

And good fucking luck if you buy any kind of pills or anything.

Not proper cooking to a well temp, but you never really know if proper food safety practices were observed or not.

Well they said “all”, so more like " the gang causes a massive global financial collapse."

Not all economic problems are a recession. Consumers are facing significant issues right now, but the overall economy is doing well.

Our issue is that all that wealth is mysteriously staying in the hands of large corporations.

Average car price before the pandemic was about $38k. By 2023, it was $49k.

The trend has been ongoing for a long time due to general inflation and a growing preference for SUVs, but it went fucking bananas during the pandemic, and auto manufacturers have taken advantage.

That’s been the case for at least the past couple of decades. The massive price increases have been over the past 4 years.

Sort of. I’m glad we are wasting less in terms of automobile manufacture, but this is caused by price gouging on the part of automakers more than anything.

That means when we all eventually have to buy another car, we’re just going to get fucked.

That would mean you need to enforce the law for whoever built the model. If the original creator has 100TB of cheese pizza, then they should be the one who gets arrested.

Otherwise you’re busting random customers at a pizza shop for possession of the meth the cook smoked before his shift.

That’s good, it means the cap won’t restrict what you can save for your children.

Isn’t mumble hot garbage? My planet side outfit memes on it whenever it gets brought up.

That’s actually exactly my point. We should carefully examine whether the infringement is worth the benefit before blindly letting the government do whatever.

In the case of seatbelt laws, it is worth it because people are really bad at understanding inertia, and wearing a seatbelt isn’t a burden to anyone. In the case of raw milk, it’s worth it because tuberculosis is fucking horrifying and very contagious.
