Not surprised. The bar for entry to become a teacher in Texas is substantially lower than many other states.

Even better

Definitely ways they could make that cleaner.

• Remove from queue: have this as an option only from the queue itself, not from the song currently playing.

• Go to: merge into a single “Go to…” button, press it for a submenu listing Artist/Album/Song Info

• Report: Useless. Vet your own shit, Google.

• Pin to Listen Again: Just use “liked songs” like a sane person.

• Dismiss queue: same as remove from queue.

• Stats for nerds: should only be visible with an advanced or developer option in the app settings.

Could be an overheating concern maybe. Some laptops weren’t designed to run with the lid closed, if it inhibits the air flow.

It’s only 50 cents if you’re looking at 10 other properties managed by the same service. In practice, it’s $5 if you were only looking to tour a single place.

You do that when you submit an application, not when you are just looking. Those details are none of their business if I have a look and decide no.

I am fascinated by the creativity of this comment section. Great work!!! 🫘🎎🤏

Am I crazy or are the shades of blue in the key of that graph completely different from the shades of blue in the graph itself?

It’s just that we have to make space for our 5,358 partners and the telemetry data they need.

I’ve never been to a Japanese cafe, but knowing what I know about them from Japanese acquaintances, yeah, mostly.

They’d probably either use actual dishware that is returned and washed, or yes, expect people to bring disposable waste home with them. Everything I’ve heard is that public trash bins are not non-existent, but they are rare.

I mean, I don’t mind brands visible on purchased goods per se, it’s the same as a maker’s mark like artisans have added to their wares for thousands of years. It’s no more an ad than a book including the name of its author on the front.

But it’s my conscious choice to buy certain products from certain brands, with careful considerations to quality and price. If a product is good and it is reasonably priced, I don’t care if they have a logo on there. But I don’t go buying products for the brand.

Where ads are different is that they intrude into parts of our lives they have no right to be in.

I want to watch some sports, but no, ads everywhere.

I want to watch a movie, but I have to sit through all the ads first.

I am waiting at the bus/train stop and there’s business posters everywhere, and then the bus/train pulls up and it’s covered in ads inside and out, all during my commute.

I’m in the waiting room at the doctor’s office having a panic attack about the results of some recent tests and there’s a dumb ad on the wall with some smiling white lady staring directly at me, who has everything figured out and can now live life to the fullest thanks to her doctor having prescribed [DrugName]™.

That’s the shit I can’t stand. When it’s not possible to simply exist in life without some entity trying to extract capital from you at every turn.

But how much do you really know about Driving Mode?

They’re just admitting to what everyone else has been doing for years now.

There were several. Why didn’t these hypothetical single-issue Trump supporters vote for Cornel West or Claudia de la Cruz if their priority is narrowing the income gap? Even Harris promised to implement at least a billionaire tax.

If people were pissed about income inequality, they’d vote for the “tax the rich” candidates. Donald Trump’s agenda is the exact opposite about that.

I think there are two separate but related metrics at play here. Addressing income inequality would certainly go a long way towards improving quality of life for the working class, but Americans don’t care about someone having too much money as much as they care about having too little themselves.

Despite large movements like Occupy Wall Street bringing the topic of income inequality to the forefront of news for a while, the fact that it petered out and has ceased to be an issue means that enough members of the working class were still contented enough by their bread and circuses, so nothing came of it.

These voters don’t care if their CEO gets a $10 million bonus at the end of the year as long as they can still afford groceries and housing, but they do start to care a lot when they don’t. Only, blame is being directed at the government (inflated cost of living) rather than their rich bosses (wage stagnation).

Do you have figures that include 2024? That data seems to stop at 2021. Not saying you’re wrong but the picture being painted is just Biden’s first year as president during the height of the pandemic.

Comparing things like rates of inflation and the consumer price index, we see the numbers drop dramatically within the past two years, which seems to have been improving cost of living somewhat (or, ruining less quickly, at least) for the average American, though there is still a lot more to be done.

Part of me blames the collective memory loss of the COVID years and a complete lack of understanding of cause and effect.

It’s like everyone forgot there was this massive global pandemic which absolutely killed entire industries. And even though the important parts were propped up during the lean times by government support, that support ended eventually, with the economy still a mess that couldn’t just be put back together like nothing happened.

I mean, people at that time didn’t even have a concept of what was going on. They have no idea how much money was spent keeping the lights on. People lost their shit over the billions it would cost to forgive student loans, but had no idea how many more billions were already spent on—and abused by—businesses whose pandemic loans were forgiven by the government.

Everyone forgot the pandemic was only as bad as it was in the US because it was so completely mishandled by the Trump administration. We could have had everything back to normal a lot sooner if there was even a little bit of national preparedness, not to mention if we didn’t have all the misinformation spread by his own administration.

So when the economy went to shit in 2021-2022 during the Biden administration, people shrugged their shoulders and put the blame on the old man in the white house, despite the fact that it’s been on a recovery trend during this last year. And so Trump’s first year is going to start with stronger markets, he’ll get the credit, and then things will get worse just in time for someone else to take the blame for it.
