I’ve been using Ear Peace for years! These stay on my person at all times. I wish I discovered them before tinnitus but at least I can try to keep things from getting worse. Also on the autistic spectrum so they’re nice to have when overwhelmed by sound.

I’ve rented trucks from Lowe’s as well. Hella cheap if you’re quick with it.

Followed by a a multi-page string of puns…

I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.

The reddit community has been reduced to a mob of slobbering children and bots though, so I’m not on there nearly as much. I also avoid contributing because I want to see it slowly die out. Sadly it is still the only source for some information.

This is me but I at least keep my stuff indoors, clean and organized.

Anyone planning on doing this, please think of the CEO’s…

It was discovered that one of our contractors was using prison slave labor to make the parts they were selling to us. Most of which had defects that needed to be repaired.

After some debate it was decided that this was fine.

I was assigned to do the repairs on the defects. Those continued to be made and delivered. I can’t say what these parts were used in but just imagine … something really super fucking important.

For that and other reasons, I quit within a year.

Well said!

I took a crack at dropshipping this year. It was a struggle, but there was potential for it to become a side hustle. If the 40% tariffs go through in 2025, that whole business model is more doomed than it already was.

This story could easily be about america in the not too distant future.

It was pornhub that blocked Texas (and several other states). Other sites have done the same. Due to new laws making it risky to distribute in those states.

I’ve had multiple companies try to promote me to management and I’ve turned them all down. There is zero incentive to take on all the extra work, hours had stress. Not to mention you’re the punching bag between workers and those making bad decisions.

Hell no I’m good with minimal responsibilities.

Same, then tried other apps before sticking with Sync.

I highly recommend this channel. But this video in particular is topical.

I’m sticking around to witness the collapse, in the hopes things go full mad max. Because that would be a better existence than the one I’m currently living in.

I’m not sure if I’m half joking or being entirely serious.

I’m not opposed to that, but if they expect me to be at a physical location at any point, I’m SOL.

This is the way

Hardest thing for me has been finding actual remote work. Look on any job board these days and everyone’s claiming “remote*” when they’re nothing of the sort.

StarLink has been a game changer for me. Expensive as frick but so worth not having to find cell towers or monitor data caps anymore.

Where do I buy tickets for this bondage bus?
