And page 2 is how tariffs raise prices on consumers, but ol trumplestiltskin thinks China pays them.
Wharton should really revoke his degree if they want to call themselves a business school
And if my grandma had wheels she’d be a bus
I often think about how amazing it is to have indoor plumbing. Not having to pump water out of the ground manually or worse, having to drop a bucket in a well is such a luxury. Not to mention being able to take a shit without having to go outside
Do you like down votes? Because this is how you get down votes.
This from a guy who bumbles his way through every speech, and can’t even interact with donut store employees like a normal human. Pot, kettle and all that
How is Wukong? I haven’t heard much about it
No one loves the sound of Maher’s voice more than Maher. The name of the show should be changed to “Confidently Incorrect”
I always love when people pretend to be mystified that someone has trouble running programs on Linux when I, a non Linux user, see plenty of examples of people having trouble getting programs to run on Linux scrolling through “Everything” on Lemmy
I’m sure Google employees get Premium for free
If I say I’m 17cm, that’s just what it is.
If you’re 17cm you would get steady work in Hollywood
Just an example of something outdated that’s not needed anymore
Welp. Considering it does none of those three things, maybe it’s time for them to go the way of the buggy whip
I thought this was a posting to “Idiots of Facebook” at first. Guess I’m the idiot

I used to think “chaos” had the same “ch” as “church” when I was a kid. Don’t know why I never heard it spoken aloud by someone earlier than I did.
But the one that I find inexcusable is Southern US people who pronounce “jalapeno” with a “j” and “n” instead of an “ha” and “ñ” even though they know better. Sounds so willfully ignorant
Depends on what part of Alaska you’re talking about. South Central is all connected by a road system (yes, it’s paved) but there really aren’t many alternative routes, so if there’s a bad car accident or a landslide, you’re effectively cut off.
Another difference is the distance between places. When I travel to the lowered 48 I’m always reminded of that fact as pretty much every few miles is an exit to a new town but they all seem to have the same shitty strip/outlet malls and chain restaurants, like carbon copies of the next town over.
Here there tend to be small communities along the highways but all the communities seem to have a distinct vibe and flavor as other than a few pockets of larger communities there aren’t many chains until you get to the more populated areas.
Plus no billboards obstructing the views as you drive along the highways so it’s very scenic most of the time. Mountains everywhere for most of the road system.
Outside the road system the communities tend to be pretty small and very rural as they’re usually native Alaskan villages or small towns along the panhandle in the South East. They’re close to BC so very similar climate and topography.
Along the coast are many fishing towns that all tend to be similar. Harbor, bars near said harbor, churches, and small homes. With a general store and maybe a library.
Up north is where the climate sucks most of the year, except for about 2 weeks in the summer. Not many people other than Alaskan Natives are brave enough to live up there full time. I’ve worked up there on a 2 week rotation schedule but if I had to be up there full time, I’d go insane.
Outside the cities most people will carry weapons. In the city fewer do, but bear spray is the go-to bear deterrent in the city parks and trails
Boy, do I have some bad news for you…
