Wouldn’t it be more like a 1.25% increase for most people since that part of the payroll tax is split half and half between employers and employees? I might be reading it wrong but sounds like they’re proposing raising the entire 12.8% or whatever it is payroll tax that much. So it’d go from like 6.4% to like 7.7%.
Kind of? It’s more like if all of YouTube functioned like the subscriptions tab. You still have a trending page but it seems to be just the raw “this has gotten X views in Y time” kind of trending. Not the “this is what our Ineffable Algorithm God™©® thinks will maximize the amount of time you spend on our platform” kind. Then you’ve got the subscriptions page which is just chronologically all the videos from the channels you’re subscribed to. But then there’s also the stuff like sponsor block, dearrow, and such.
It’s pretty good what little I’ve used it. It was just a bit of a pain to bring over your my subscriptions at least when I did it on mobile with the NewPipe app. I had to like download my data from Google, find the archive with my subscriptions data and give that to the app so it could find the channels I was subscribed to.
I prefer to think of it as… “Promoting healthy discourse among my peers.” Keeps the mind sharp.
Is a taco an open-faced sandwich? Or does an open-faced sandwich become a taco when you pick it up and fold it over to eat it?
I have no objections. A taco is technically a hot dog after all.
Yeah I feel like that puts it into better words than I was able to.
I don’t know if it qualifies as a cooperative. I know they’re a nonprofit and they’ve got a board that we can just join for some fairly cheap dues even for our fixed income. My wife was actually on it for a while before our twins were born.
My landlord is actually a community nonprofit group that owns several units in our neighborhood. They do rent for the most part based on income. I forget the exact breakdowns but iirc it’s capped on the upper end at an actually reasonable percentage of your income so you’re not paying most of your paycheck to rent. Then my wife and I are on the low end because we’re on a fixed income. Before we got approved for section 8 we paid their lowest flat rate which is basically just enough to cover property taxes and maintenance which iirc percentage wise was a higher percentage of our income than their normal rate is but it still wasn’t crazy for us.
Then they use the excess to do things like update the units to make them more energy efficient, community organizing, etc. They’ve also bought out a couple of abandoned houses in the area and redeveloped them so people can actually live in them.
I personally don’t have a problem with landlords per se. Not everybody wants to own a home and deal with all of the maintenance and things that go along with it. I don’t even necessarily have a problem with them getting paid to deal those things. What I personally have a problem with is housing being used as passive incomea free money cheat.
At least the money from the main party coffers I think. There will still be wealthy donors and dark money PACs spending money likely still it sounds like. But it is definitely a plus that he’s funneling so much campaign money to his legal troubles.
You’re correct. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The outrage is entirely manufactured just like with Critical Race Theory. Invented out of whole cloth almost entirely by the likes of Christopher Ruffo. It’s straight up just DEI is when minorities… Anything.
Yeah that seems like a bit of a stretch. That meme read to me like “Oh, you’re having problems with the DRM? I don’t have that problem,” not “Hey guys, here’s the GOG installer for X game.”
Otherwise, why would the other people in the group chat not like the vibe?
And the one that they put out for if they win later this year is a horror novel. “Project 2025” or whatever it’s called.
Probably meaning the “Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself” theory.
If I was reading the NLRB rules change correctly that would be “union busting” activity and would mean they immediately have to recognize and begin bargaining with the union.
Definitely doesn’t help that most of the damn US has some form of Anti-BDS laws. Because everybody knows Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism right guys?
I mean it would stop this particular madness… In a Monkey’s Paw kind of way where we now instead have to deal with the madness of Trump trying to become a dictator and all the harm that entails.
I believe they’re referring to the upcoming Manifest V3 changes. My understanding is that currently uBlock uses the old Manifest V2 that they’re ending support for once V3 gets pushed. I believe there is a V3 version of uBlock but because of the limitations in V3 it’s not as effective at blocking ads.
I’ve got some furry friends and there’s a whole spectrum. You can run into everything from the mostly human with some animal features like the kemonomimi trope to full anthropomorphic animals. Depends on the person really.
