That’s MacRumors baybee
TX DPS and APD have a long history of violating constitutional rights.
Gov. Greg Abbott expressed support for the arrests, which come amid tensions on college campuses across the country over the Israel-Hamas war.
Idk about the middle unless they can make it more convenient than Chicago’s passenger rail system. Sometimes you’ve gotta do this ridiculously long detour to cross the pedestrian bridge because they put transit stops in the middle of the highway. Like sorry but a highway is not a destination.
Well thankfully there’s both settings to turn those features off and settings to customize your own text replacement built right into the OS. So yeah, the users can indeed decide what they want to say/do.
Nope that requires them to do the job they signed up for instead of collecting OT and extra pay as a security guard on the side. Someone on Reddit a year ago literally had camera footage with the faces of everyone who broke into their car and it wasn’t good enough. Hell, the dealership I just bought my car from had three employee cars broken into two days after mine was.
These criminals are playing with fire though in Texas with how many people own guns. Plus our penal code technically allows you to shoot to stop a crime in specific circumstances.
You’re implying the police would give enough of a fuck to do their job in the first place. I called because I saw my car was smashed into while walking my dog and the burglars were literally still there. Suspects ran when I saw them hitting another car. Cops were like ‘oh there’s not a present danger and since nobody was assaulted just file a police report’. Report was closed a day later.
What should I expect honestly. There was deadass a house here getting shot up every few months and not a damn thing happened. But it’s okay they only have the largest budget line item in the city by far and whine about it not being enough so the struggle must be real.
Fuckin love this show and glad to see it’s presence on Lemmy
Sorry but I’m going to sound very corpo for a sec:
I perform significantly better in my role when I’m not in the office. It’s too distracting and I HATE being perceived. Had a major surgery and got out of hybrid for 6 months and both quarters were insanely above my usual kpis. Like, in Q1 of this FY I’ve managed to outperform I did in H1 last FY.
Granted some of that comes from an additional year of experience. But when I’m left the heck alone I shine. Now if I could have less of a customer-facing role and still make the same salary…
Sorry you’re getting downvoted, OP. Sometimes it not worth the effort to reply here. Too many people think they are better than others.
Yeah but ‘just be financially literate bro. It’s your fault if you get taken advantage of when buying something you’re almost required to own’. Goodness that felt gross to write.
Saying “educating people is a lot easier than fixing the system” is not as easy as actually educating people. Telling people on lemmy to build an amortization schedule is like pissing in a lake of piss. We’re a bunch of frugal nerds.
What exactly would an effective system to educate people on loans look like in the US? Either all 50 states would have to agree to mandate financial literacy in every school or the federal Department of Education would. Then each school has to adopt the policy and make sure teachers are equipped to teach while having a benchmark/test to show it’s effective. That brings in a private company to develop the test and education material. Then you have schools who can barely hang on to teachers that are qualified enough to teach. Some districts are at the point where they just need warm bodies to be babysitters.
So let’s say we develop a robust financial literacy program in all US schools. Say Biden’s Education Secretary makes it their agenda and 50 states agree to take this on and mandate it for their public schools. That still leaves massive gaps in our system. Anyone older than the initial cohort will be at a disadvantage. Anyone from a non-English speaking background or is mentally handicapped will be at a disadvantage. You’d need edge cases to educate them.
So tell me is it really, truly easier to educate people and fix the problem that way? Or would it be easier to pass policy that prevents or mitigates predatory lending behavior in the first place? In an ideal world we would have both!
I know Lemmy users hate being told they are wrong so go ahead and downvote me. It’s not like I’ve spent a third of my life working with the government and studying policy or anything.
