I had hope that this would be a blip of an assault and a ceasefire would be brokered. Now, it feels almost certain that one of the most cursed regions in the world is going to be plunged into a civil war without a clear justification, and where everyone loses.
I’m down! The more turn-based games the better. Final Fantasy tactics is one of the best games of all time
Fascinating. This is way more buttoned up and controlled than I thought it would be.
Great article. If Morocco’s claim is rejected, what’s stopping Algeria from trying to step into that power vacuum? Does Western Sahara have any sort of organized military that could resist against armed conflict over its resources?
I wouldn’t be surprised if we just saw the region become a capitalism pseudo-country, with US/China coming in to buy off the resources.
I like the concept of being able to talk openly about mens’ issues. That liberation name is unfortunate; in my opinion, it definitely sounds at least apologetic towards misogyny. What do we have to be liberated from?
First, thanks for contributing. I credit r/personalfinance as one of the most important factors that allowed me to become financially literate. Still cleaning up the messes of my 20’s, but things would be WAY worse if I wouldn’t have been able to self-educate. I’m not going back to Reddit, so I’m thankful that you’re contributing content here instead.
In regards to your question, relatively poorly.
I’m 31. My salary when I began work after grad school was 35k with only 2% going into retirement; now my salary is north of 100k with 15% going into retirement. I am at about 40% of my annual income, so definitely behind. I should be able to have some nice catch-up progress over the next five years, but I can’t help but feel like a better starting job pre-COVID would have set me up way better.
Hilariously, this fine is probably not even large enough for them to spin off a shell company and declare bankruptcy on the debts. They’ll just shrug and move on. Toothless.
Surprisingly melancholy comic.
-Password crackdown
-Removal of Basic Plan
-Aggressive advertising to up-package
-Focus on 1-3 years of low-budget ‘reality’ TV
Yikes. Netflix is hellbent on extracting maximum revenue possible, regardless of how shitty their product gets in the meantime.
What are your alternatives? What other options do you have to get a bachelor’s of Engineering? Often times transfer applicants get surprised when they see that the FA is worse.
Quite a few. I grew up in a conservative, racist family. It took me a long time to unwind the problematic casual phrases I grew up with. I’m not proud of it, and I occasionally cringe looking backwards. I realize now the tremendous weight and damage those phrases could do. Now I just try to be better day by day, and to make sure I don’t perpetuate those damaging habits in my own children.
Be careful assuming you can get a cheaper package with the same educational outcomes by leaving PSU. If I was in your shoes, I would take the 40k in total debt, get that engineering degree, then continue to live like a college kid for a few years to pay it down.
You say “used to”. Has it been overfished?
I’m a fan of Connect. It goes a good job with the material you design language. Once the Sync for Lemmy is released, I’ll bounce over to that app. Overall, I’ve been very pleased with Lemmy. It doesn’t have the volume of content to the more niche fringes, but it scratches the itch all the same, and I don’t have to feel as gross doing it.
Smart on KIA, then.
Does this help qualify them for some of the Inflation Reduction Act credits, or is that tied specifically to where the battery materials are sourced from?
Pretty easy to see that this will lead to immediate short-term gains but long-term pain. I can’t tell you the amount of infinite loops I’ve found myself in with AI chat, even among the most simplistic questions.
My wife got me a fitbit. I resisted a little bit because I didn’t want to have yet another device to monitor, charge, and maintain etc. I’ve been really surprised and impressed and how effective it has been in subtly encouraging me to make some small improvements in my habits. Not a bad deal for $100.
Neither one has a catalytic converter
Among the wealthy there will always be the search for the rare and exotic. I’m not surprised that this has become some kind of distorted 'destination"
