No wait, give it back! Stop trying to steal my beer! I like beer!

And cops are good! They don’t trust the government at all, but somehow the enforcement arm of the government can do nothing wrong!

No, no, you see, it’s actually so empowering for the worker because they can quit at any time with no notice! Isn’t that so empowering! In fact, I almost think that the balance of power goes too far in the workers favor on this and we need to give some of it back to the poor employers who are just always walking on eggshells since they can be quit on at any time!

/s just in case

It’s so insane that anyone can argue that at-will employment is anything other than a shitty employer’s wet dream.

I’m a millennial that doesn’t like avocado at all, so, speaking of disgraces!

We managed to get a house, but there are also 3 of us with no kids, I can’t imagine managing with two people in todays economy. We got in just before the rates skyrocketed in 2021, the house price is basically what the inflation calculators say the original owners bought it for decades ago, so, there’s that at least, that we only paid the equivalent of the original list price for a 5-6 decades old house with decades of shoddy repairs such as every single plug with a ground having the ground pin tied to the neutral!

It’s a real rough time out there right now though with ownership out of the realm of possibility for so many :-\

ok, Millennial … look at you over there ::checks notes:: loving the woman you married! What a disgrace!

Seriously though, best of luck through this and hopefully the 1st Amendment is upheld

ETA: Not sure on your age here, was just a joke to play on the boomer ‘wife bad’ stereotype that in my experience is way too accurate.

Regardless of anything else, it’s a medical procedure, your employer shouldn’t be privy to private medical details just because they don’t agree with them. You should be able to get a doctors note that you’re having a procedure, will require time to heal and be done with it, in any reasonable world, but … here we are.

Sure, if you read it, but what about if you just go on feels like they do with their holy book?

SCOTUS declaring this illegal in 3…2…1!

/S (I hope)

Ah, my apologies for the assumption, it’s been almost a year but I’m still too used to Reddit apparently!

Yes, the default launcher had ads, the SHIELD itself didn’t, but I also didn’t like any of the 3rd party launchers I used but I don’t remember specifically why. Then, the SHIELD stopped booting so I didn’t want to buy another one and went with the ATV instead.

As I mentioned, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to someone who knows they’d regret not having the cast functionality, but, if you just want a device that works very well and doesn’t ever have so much as a hiccup during navigation, it’s been great!

I would still recommend the SHIELD for someone that wants cast or who wouldn’t have a problem with (mostly) relevant ads being shown on the device (stock).

Yeah I used to have a PC and a Harmony remote that would send macros to a custom script and Kodi would do different things or it could switch to Netflix and … Like, we just want to watch a movie or TV show not have to perform tech support whenever Netflix changed their webpage!

My SHIELD would just randomly restart itself until eventually it stopped coming back online.

I definitely got my monies worth out of it, but didn’t like that a device with no ads all of a sudden became a device with ads (and this is a Google thing not an Nvidia one, but still)

You specifically said you use a 3rd party launcher. You know why you specifically mentioned that.

We’re a non-iPhone household and went with the AppleTV when my Nvidia SHIELD died.

Ads were getting put on the SHIELD and I definitely didn’t want to buy another one because of that and it has been a while since its had a refresh, so went with an AppleTV instead.

The device itself is fantastic, the UI is so smooth and so much nicer. OTOH, I miss being able to cast to the TV more than I expected. It works decently with the Macbooks though (we’re a weird household … like Macs, hate iPhones).

So … if ya’ll have iPhones or don’t care about casting, I’d definitely recommend an AppleTV with Plex (the Dropout, Youtube, Disney+ apps are all good too).

ETA: Apple is also making some pretty awesome TV content as well and IIRC you’ll get a couple months free with the purchase … verify that yourself though in case they’ve removed it, but Foundation, Severance & See are fantastic shows if you’re looking for something to watch.

Conversely, maybe she thinks there will be MORE opportunity for $200k speeches if Trump wins!

I hear people on those programs eat nothing but steak and lobster! Why’s he turning down the good life!

I would bet that if you investigate the author of the bill enough, you’ll find that they have some kind of relationship (friends, relative, money changing hands, etc…) with someone in the list who has a vested interest in it being watered down!

Right?! I was way more conservative in my teens and have gone way further to the left and less conservative as I’ve aged.

“When you buy a house you’ll understand” … yeah, nope, maybe it’s the fact that it took 3 of us to buy the house instead of ONE salary being able to, but, nope - still not a crazy jackass who has no empathy just to keep my property taxes low.

ETA: Gen Z is great. I love the no fucks given attitude in the workplace and they’re a fucking inspiration.

I’m a simple man, I see a Robert Evans podcast mentioned and I upvote.

Seriously though, it’s good to see people thinking long term. We criticize the corps for only thinking of the next quarter (at the furthest) and then also criticize a guy with a well thought out long term plan?!

I know Repubs don’t actually want a functioning government, but JFC, when half the govt actively, publicly and LOUDLY works against it, it’s no surprise it’s so fucked up.

Uncle Jay Explains Congressional Recess!

With a schedule like that, no wonder they can’t get anything done! But yeah, when 1/2 the govt literally wants to point and say “See! Government doesn’t work!” I don’t know how we can function without getting them out.
