Every Jetblue flight I’ve ever been on has been delayed. I’m typing this while waiting for a jet blue flight right now (weather is perfect and AA and Delta are flying into my destination currently so thats not it either). I travel occasionally for work and it doesn’t seem to matter what airport, day of the week, time of year, or time of day…jetblue will be delayed. The planes are decent and the cost isn’t bad but if you’re flying jetblue and have a connection then God speed, you’ll need it.

It looks like this subscription may be for their “smart” printers. So the subscription would be for the connection to phone service. Why you’d need a smart printer is beyond me but they apparently think there is a market for it.

As long as the thing they don’t like about your face isn’t it’s color. But seriously American employment laws (in most states) allow for companies to fire people for any non-protected reason (protected reason = gender, race, age, etc). If a co.pany does illegally fire a person it can be a real up hill battle to prove it because at-will is so permissive.

I can’t say a firing like this one sits super well with me personally but it’s almost certainly legal.

If Fast and Furious has a 29% score then RT isn’t a good indicator of movies. They don’t keep making those movies because they arent popular. That whole franchise is basically printing money.

I could never be confused as someone whose good with tech. I have a job where knowing basic excel makes you the resident tech genius we all go to for help. I can confirm that I do find lemmy complicated.

1. It was intimidating to pick an instance (and everyone aggressively insisting it “doesn’t matter what instance you join because -long droning tech speech-” only made it worse).
2. This is numbered cause I can’t figure out how to do bullet points on mobile…that is how out of place on lemmy I am
3. I wish the default was all and not my local instance for my home screen. That makes it harder and more complicated for me to navigate around or see popular posts. Oh shit I think I just figured out how to do italics!!!
4. I’m mostly just here because I like the cozy community feeling. That’s enough for me to put up with stumbling around the site next to blind just clicking on stuff and hoping for the best (I accidently ended up scrolling a sub that was all in Germany yesterday, no idea how I got there)…but I don’t blame most non-tech people for not wanting to do that. To get most people you’d need to dumb the “fediverse” down to the point most current users would be furious and start talking about enshitification again.

If your on .world there are a ton of hexbear comments in this thread you aren’t seeing. You are only seeing half the conversation going on in here right now.

There are also a lot of kits that include most of what you’ll need (especially for cross stitch). It can be a really convenient way to start and most kits come with really good instructions on how to cross stitch too.

Don’t lay offs make sense though if people are being more productive at home? The tech market is contracting so they won’t be looking to take on new projects so much as cutting unnecessary overhead (and labor is usually the largest tech company expense), which they only have because the increase in productivity isn’t being offset by new work (projects) coming in?

Some places with things like snap elections also have limits on campaign lengths and how much money can be used in an election.

I appreciate you saying that your lost cause I also find lemmy confusing and it seems like most people here are very tech savvy. Makes me feel a little less out of place.
