Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do
  • Maybe, but anecdotally my boomer aunt bought over $1,000 of apple gift cards and gave the card numbers over the phone to the “Apple support” guy with a thick Indian accent to get her hacked iCloud Photos back so…. I would like to see the different kinds of scams that both generations fall for.

  • Fatal shooting of University of South Carolina student who tried to enter wrong home 'justifiable,' police say
  • Bro banged on the door and broke a window to try to get in. He was literally forcefully entering a locked house, he didn’t just wander into an unlocked door by mistake.

    No telling what the kid was trying to do or would have done if he got in. Home owners have to assume the person trying to kick in the door and breaking a window is there to do harm. Justified self defense to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.

  • Billionaire Charlie Munger says that in order to feel happy, we need to expect less and that the world is going to get tougher.
  • Kind of sad that at the ripe age of 23 I can see the writing on the walls. There’s no point in continuing to try. I have to work almost all of the time, I get paid just enough to cover rent and some food, and if/when there is a medical expense or a car expense I’m going to go into debt. I’m making these ass holes rich with my suffering and I can’t even afford a reasonable life for my wife and I. We both work full time and we have to rent a basement apartment. We can’t afford kids. We can’t afford a home, and the cars ( that we absolutely need to get to work) are over a decade old and have issues frequently.

    Why continue participating in a system that is so hostile towards the working class (that the system NEEDS TO KEEP FUNCTIONING) to the point that they can’t even fucking reproduce. I’ve been reduced to something so much less than human that I’m done trying. This is not why I am here. I’m not here to answer phone calls and be stressed 8 hours a day 5 days a week (and let’s not forget mandatory overtime.)

    It’s time to stop participating. It’s time for a general strike so this whole system can collapse and the few that survive hopefully learn something from it and build something better.

    I’m just tired.

  • Donald Trump vows to lock up political enemies if he returns to White House
  • There's no need for formal conspiracies when all of these economic and political elites share the same ideology, which they learned from their environment growing up in similar positions of privilege within the dominant culture.

  • Donald Trump vows to lock up political enemies if he returns to White House
  • That book they’re selling is like a modern “Mein Kampf.” It’s very interesting because I know quite a few moderate conservatives who wouldn’t ever support the policy proposed in this book, but they are still going to vote red because they believe it will fix the economy.

  • Meeting new roommates for college and I suggested Signal and this was someone's response. I hate Gen Z.
  • Normal people don’t care that much about privacy for a group chat between their room mates. They’re not and they shouldn’t have to go out of their way to fulfill your request for a privacy based platform for a single group chat.

  • lol cope and be normal I guess? I understand insta isn’t great with privacy but it’s a group chat for your room mates. Make a burner account instead of forcing all of them to download some app they’ve never heard of for one group chat with people they are forced to be acquaintances with.

    They’re likely all thinking you’re the odd man out because you’re making a fuss over a group chat.

  • Ohio teen dubbed 'hell on wheels' after killing her boyfriend and his friend in a crash is sentenced to 15 years to life
  • Unfortunately she made a decision that KILLED SOMEONE with the intent of KILLING SOMEONE.

    Her victims will never get to be 70. Let her rot.

    And you’re acting like that 70 year old is innocent. That 70 year old intentionally murdered someone because she was upset. Yeah it was 53 years ago but that’s the same person. 53 years ago that 70 year old deprived another human being of the rest of their life because she got upset. I don’t think you’d have the same sympathy for other criminals just because their crime was decades ago.

  • New Covid wave has begun and masks should be worn again, scientists warn
  • I mean I understand why people do it, but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t suck and doesn’t make work just a little less tolerable for those having to deal with it.

    Have you worked manual labor in a mask in the summer?

  • New Covid wave has begun and masks should be worn again, scientists warn
  • Honestly I’m sad for everyone that works manual labor. Wearing a mask absolutely lowers the chance of both transmitting covid and getting covid, but working in 90+ degree weather lifting heavy shit for 8 hours a day wearing a mask sucks. It gets moist as all hell and fogs your glasses.

  • Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW
  • Linux people will never admit that it’s like that though. I have a few friends on Linux and when we all boot a game to play, the windows users like me sit in the lobby waiting for my friends to trouble shoot why battlefield 1 isn’t launching on Linux, then they give up and just boot into windows and magically the game starts.

  • Where did it all go right for Biden? Facts blunt Republican attack lines
  • I’ll admit I don’t know much about European politics, but from a foreign view it’s scary. I’ve always seen the far right in American politics it’s more or less the status quo, but seeing the far right rise in modern Europe is shocking to me. Most of this is informed by what I’ve seen in the news about what’s been going on in Italy though.
