And when retirement and savings funds are burnt up, oh that's just too bad for all you poor people who didn't save for a rainy day.

Time for plumbers to rise up!

The Trump administration is dismantling two EPA rules, promising cheaper groceries for struggling families. Economists and former officials say it'll only make things pricier.

(A shortened version of an annoying phonecal I’ve had)

Customer: I’m going to send you a picture, do you know which brand/model of product this is?

Me: no sir, we’ve never seen this one.

Customer: please look it up, I need to know if it needs part X.

(Searching online, through catalogues, asking around, nothing. So we call him back with that news.)

Customer: oh but I just put it into google and it found the type and it also says it needs part X.

Me: ok, be sure verify it. You know, you can’t trust ai.

Customer: yeah sure.

Next day customer walks in, orders some unrelated stuff, not a single word about the phonecalls from the day before. Not a single word.

And I bump into this more and more, people that use ai to look up stuff and then smugly act like they somehow beat the system. As if they did the great rebellious act that paves the way forward. No you schmuck, you gave into the system and now it’s biting you up the ass.

Security experts have cautioned that internet-linked vehicles pose an increasing threat to Australian consumers as their data-gathering capabilities grow.

About 65% of U.S. adults believe same-sex marriage should be legal, down slightly from 71% in 2022 and 2023, according to a new Gallup poll.

Acceptance of same-sex marriage and relationships in the U.S. has flattened after more than two decades of steadily increasing support, with an ongoing decline among Republicans, according to a new Gallup poll.

About 65% of U.S. adults believe same-sex marriage should be legal, down slightly from 71% in 2022 and 2023.

Most of the change is due to dropping acceptance among Republicans. In the new survey, which was conducted in May, only 37% of Republicans say same-sex marriage should be legally valid, while 35% say gay and lesbian relations are “morally acceptable.”

The views of Democrats and independents are largely stable in the findings released Wednesday, with most in both groups saying same-sex marriage should be legal and that gay or lesbian relations are moral.
