They also hate when people donate “supplies” which is usually 30+ year old torn up camping equipment, and old clothes that should have been thrown out.
Just donate money and get out of the way.
If you really want to be a help, donate time before disasters happen so you’re trained up for when they do. Starting to gather supplies and training during a disaster is far far too late.
Boomers were named after the Baby Boom, not the economic boom.

There was also an economic boom, but that’s absolutely not where the name comes from.
Google - let’s put AI into everything and force it on our users, they’ll love it!!!
Also Google - Stop using AI for your content, our users hate it!!!
It CAN be time based, but there’s also a “hot” and an “active” sorting. Both of which are “algorithms”.
It’s a lot more simple of an algorithm, and doesn’t intentionally push specific topics, but if you open https://lemmy.world/ anonymously, you’ll see a default “All/Active” feed which is sorted by engagement.
Anyone feel like this is viral marketing???
MAGA hates this movie and wants to ban it!!! You better come watch it to prove Trump is a big doo doo head!!!
It’s business hours Tue-Fri. Sounds like the volunteer isn’t for unpaid work, but for volunteering to do this instead of their normal duties for the week.
Tho I’m sure they’ll get dinged on their performance review if their regular work output reduces, so I’m guessing they will end up needing to put on unpaid hours to compensate.
Only if there’s laws in place to keep the ultra rich from buying up multiple properties, otherwise it’s just an opportunity for people to keep hording homes to rent out.
McDonald’s STILL has newspapers sitting in a rack next to the counter where I am. Growing up these places had magazines and newspapers available to read. People “back then” didn’t just randomly talk to strangers, they just kept themselves busy with other things.
Yes, there’s a problem with people not interacting physically anymore, but it’s not cause we have electronics, it’s cause people don’t have a place to go outside the home anymore. This is a problem with a lack of community centers and walk-able neighborhoods, not a problem with phones.
Yup, there were a large number of downturns over the decades. The 90’s and the 00’s were squarely in the tail end of boomer retirement years and they ended up just fine.
The great depression bounced back and even if you invested at that time, over the long term you would have come out ahead of you just held onto a total market position.
Pull up any Dow Jones historical chart and you’ll see plenty of flat or short term dips, ones that held for several years, but in the end the line still went up faster than inflation.

Every generation had multiple periods where the market looked poor, but if you don’t prepare for the future, you guarantee a shitty retirement.
If you save and prepare for the future, you at least have a chance of being comfortable in your old age.
The one who hates immigrants, gays, and liberals? Might want to take a little closer look at your favorite character.
If you’re saving into a total market index fund, your returns should go up in relation to inflation OVER THE LONG TERM.
I’ve been investing for decades in VTSAX and similar across a few retirement accounts, and while there have been ups and downs, since I don’t touch it and keep adding to it in small amounts over time, I’ve had great success with beating inflation while doing absolutely nothing to manage my investment.
Yes, there was basically a whole decade that didn’t do well, the following decade more than made up for the slow returns.
That’s just how retirement investments work. You don’t look at a single quarter, year, or even decade, you look at your entire working life plus retirement. And the market has always been ahead at those time frames.
With how much he loves the letter, I’m shocked he didn’t call it the X party.
I hear he loves history too, so maybe the History X party. I guess he should include the America part so people know which side he’s on.
The “American History X” party sounds about right for him.
I develop infrastructure automation for one of the world’s largest private computer clusters.
I do it almost exclusively in Vim with command line git.
I’m the most productive member of my team.
At a certain point you’re responsible for a person, and not hosting a mass of cells. If the fetus is viable, then abortion is essentially the same as delivery, and you’re looking at adoption instead of abortion.
I’m sure there’s edge cases that I’m not thinking of, and I’m perfectly willing to admit I’m wrong, but it seems to me that if the fetus is viable, then there’s not much difference between a human that’s inside the body or outside.
Literally nothing you said was correct.
If you understand the mechanics, skip farming the whole first year and just fish. You’ll end up way ahead.

Yup, sounds like I need to wait for quite a few patches and some real reviews before I buy Kerbal Space Program 2 Subnautica 2
That’s probably too much warping for humidity. The hinges are probably pulling that side of the door lower.
Do you own this property? If so, I would pull the trim off completely, rehang the door properly, with longer screws through the hinges to hold them up to the framing, and then put the trim back on.
If you rent, call your landlord to do the above.
