To qualify for some benefits you can’t have any assets. The state forces you to sell your assets and pay for care before they will chip in.

Yes but we used to have smart people reproducing to balance things out. Now smart people are taking extra measures to avoid parenthood and ignorance is being celebrated.

This is how Idiocracy happened. When only the dumbest people procreate we speedrun to collapse.

India doesn’t even rate?

The camera is fine but I prefer to use googles camera app. Both work.

Hah, this checks out for me.

If we disallowed margin loans from brokerage accounts then the uber wealthy would be forced to pay more taxes. We can easily avoid impacting the middle class with marginal tax brackets.

Russia doesn’t need bots when they have so many “useful idiot” edge lords to create their strawman for them.

Tankies voting 3rd party in a fptp electoral system. When ignorance and russian propaganda meet.

I’m using a pixel 8 with graphene. If I try to use that gesture while browsing lemmy with the Sync app, for example, it just scrolls the feed back towards the top.

I only explain bc I’m hoping I’m using it incorrectly.

The first two only failed because my prompts were bad, I had never used chatgpt before.

Subnautica is the scariest game I’ve ever played. Can’t wait for official co-op.

Yea, it looks like the win rate for consumers in arbitration is less than 1%. I’m not sure what consumers win rate is in court but it must be better than that.

A law firm was trying to extort Valve with 75k arbitration claims which would cost $3k per claim ($225mm total). As an alternative they offered to settle for $2.9k per claimant.

In the 5 years since the binding arbitration was introduced valve has had only 3 arbitration cases and won all three.
