In the meantime I’ve been using Memmy for Lemmy. It’s pretty good especially given how new it is. I came over from Apollo as a reference point. Definitely vastly improved my experience and made me miss Reddit way less

Edit** also using Mlem which is still in text flight. Figured I’d see where they both land.

Probably has to do with the investments themselves. You may not be personally ‘picking’ the investments, however, most target funds include investments that have such investments. Source: wife works at a financial institution. Also I’m drinking so Google it ontop of it or something.

Edit* Also totally shouldn’t count.

To the surprise of literally no one. At this point I pretend he doesn’t exist. Makes the rest of the race more enjoyable. Really highlights the disparity in talent next to Perez.

Same exact thought. I took a panoramic photo on a gondola and nabbed another one on its way past me. Literally looks like this.

Wait what? I know exactly zero men who walk around with a satchel. Only time I use a backpack is when I’m going to work or going to the airport or something. Otherwise it’s a wallet all the way. All my other guy friends are the same.

Okay. 100% satire. That said it drives me absolutely bonkers when coworkers are walking around common areas with their AirPods (I’m in an office). We had someone at my job bitching that people treat him differently or don’t talk to him. Like dude… if you maybe took out your AirPods people might be more inclined to say hi.

Slight pet peeve, I also totally get doing it every so often, but wearing it 100% of the time it feels stand off-ish. Same thing with never turning on cameras for video calls. Totally get not having it on 100% of meetings. But there are a few people on my team or that I work with who NEVER have it on.

Also. We hired someone virtually the other day. They came into the office. Ends up they are taller than me so I had to let him go on the spot. What’s with all these people not respecting their elders? It’s called seniority for a reason. Entitled kids trying to make us look bad…. /s

As someone who works in HR, odds are it’s c-suite calling the shots and shifts the blame. We’ve been trying to make our CEO understand why parental leave is important. Presented studies, numbers, the whole gamut but he thinks it’s a way for people to get out of work and too costly. Then turns around, and decides all the execs need to get concierge benefits, all because he had to cancel his derm appt last minute. Benefit is twice the cost that parental leave would be. Fuckers are so out of touch.

Well. I could have been much happier never knowing about this. Pure fucking evil. May she rot.

In my experience over the last two years hotels are either same price OR less expensive due to AirBnBs bait and switch pricing. The taxes, cleaning fees, and random add ons are absurd.

In a recent example, staying at some Yurt for three days was $248. After taxes and fees it was around $515. Like wtf?!

I’m at the point where even if the pricing was flat, a hotel is 10X less hassle to deal with than AirBnB.
