7·2 years agoThis is exactly why I haven’t updated the app in months. I don’t see all the shitty changes, my Twitter is still Twitter and I can easily block all the advertisements.
Start calling everything posted online a tweet and eventually it’ll become a generic trademark.
I got a cordless vacuum like this. You could tell it was slightly used. Vacuum company said send it back to Amazon. I wrote in the booklet something along the lines of “this vacuum came to me used and broken via Amazon but sold as new” I then sent it back into amazon, got a refund. I probably won’t get any major purchases off Amazon anymore.
13·2 years agoWho’s funding these guys and why?
Got the list down to only Twitter. I wish Lemmy had more local users otherwise I’d ditch Twitter.
But I do my part by blocking advertisements. If I spend 20 minutes blocking ads I won’t see any for a few weeks.
6·2 years agoGarbage country. We should 100% cut ties with them.
Lunatics always show up in my For You feed on Twitter. I always tag the company with a screenshot of the offending content with the advertisement. Lately it’s been weird advertisements. Shitty gambling apps, religious and personal accounts promoting their personal brand. So they likely don’t care.
Also I’ll never call Twitter anything but Twitter.
If you already contacted your bank about a chargeback the issue is done. It’s between the bank and the company now. That’s always a very last resort. Usually companies respond very well on social media, if you put them on blast they for the most part have a little bit of authority to escalate it to a supervisor.
But In your case, the bank should take care of it if you gave them all the information. The only issue is there’s a very good chance you’ll get banned as a customer.
So if I rolled a 10 sided dice 1000 times 30% of those rolls would be a 1?
Corporations should not own single family housing. There is zero reason housing should continue to increase like it does.
Go onto Zillow. Look how much the house was originally built for, throw that into an inflation calculator and be shocked at how we’re being ripped off.
And now on top of being ripped off, interest rates are ridiculous.
There is not a shortage of housing, corporations are buying them up and either sitting on them or renting them out at high rates.
The same corporations buying up housing are buying up apartment complexes. I know in my area many of them are at less than 20% full and they’re still charging $1500 a month for a 1 bedroom. They’re artificially driving up prices putting a stranglehold on the economy.
If Americans didn’t have to throw most of their paycheck towards housing (or education or healthcare) the whole country would be in much better shape. Inflation wouldn’t hit as hard, we could put more money into savings and actually retire, extra money for travel or things that make us happy.
It seems like such a simple solution, maybe I’m wrong but something needs to change.
JCPS is not suffering for funding. A big part of the issue is they used shitty software to plan a bus route. On top of it being notoriously hard for keeping drivers in the district.
Edit: but shit like this happens and the R’s that control the state are going to start calling for the funding to be slashed, because might as well, its already one of the worst in the state.
JCPS needs a massive overhaul. Something big needs to change.
There are hundreds of administrators in this school district making six figures. The main administrator makes 300k+ if we didn’t have enough drivers these tax payer funded jerkoffs could’ve been out driving these buses and getting these kids home safely. JCPS likes to waste money year in and year out and every single year they do something embarrassing. This one was top tier embarrassing.
This would be the biggest game changer for our country. Let corporations own all the apartments they want but keep them out of single family housing. There’s no reason for corporations to hoard and sit on housing, letting them sit empty and raising the prices of the occupied ones. Single family Housing should not be an investment opportunity for corporations.
Let’s bring down housing prices, and people will have a hell of a lot more money to spend on other things to keep our economy moving.
Then after that let’s do Healthcare and Education.
I break the law, I go to jail. A corporation breaks the law they get a fine the equivalent of a parking ticket.
If corporations want to be people it’s time we start treating them like people. CEOs and Execs in prison. Actual fines that hurt the bottom line. And for the really egregious: shut them down, or if they’re “too big to fail” we can let the government take over or break them up into dozens of small companies ex: Baby Bells
2·2 years agoOk Dorsey doesn’t own Bluesky but Bluesky is apparently completely independent from Musk and Twitter which ultimately was all I was concerned with. Thank you.
Can someone clarify for me: is Bluesky owned by Twitter and Elon Musk?

Eggs, bread, cheese and Mayo or ketchup. I could eat egg and cheese sandwiches 7 days a week if I had to. Aldis eggs are usually around $1-2 for a dozen, bread is about a dollar. The big pack of aldis brand cheese is about $2 for 16 slices. Not counting sauces since you don’t have to buy those often
16 cents per egg Estimating 10 cents a slice but probably less 12 cents per slice of cheese About 38 cents per sandwich
Then throw in some various fruit and vegetables
Banana, cucumbers, snap peas are cheap
Edit: you said not common. Sorry lol
