  • Not everyone is handy or knows how to use tools. Instead of a passive aggressive post on Lemmy. Perhaps talk to your neighbor comment on the fence posts and offer to fix it or show him/her how to fix it.

    “Hey how is it going neighbor,I saw you fixed the fence. Love the new wood, did the hardware store not have the right length? Yeah that is a bummer, I have a saw, I’m sure I could help you get those planks evened out in a few minutes if you’d like.”

    If they are a dick after that then post away.



  • Work from home is the ultimate culprit.

    A. People can migrate and buy in cheaper parts of the country and maintain jobs that would have required them to stay in a certain geographical area in the past.

    B. Work from home has gutted the commercial real estate market. Leading investors to move into the home market. You’re going to see a lot of money flow into single family homes to rent over the next ten years.

    You’re now competing against established professionals who are later on in the careers and institutional investors.






  • I’ve replaced all of my Reddit comments for the past year with AI generated nonsense. It seems to have stuck. I plan on going through all of my past comments but will spread it out over time so that it’s harder to restore.

    IMO the key is making a post that writes gibberish but that is good enough to suck a user in to read it for a few seconds before they realize it is BS. That kills the user experience and poisons the site.









  • It’s silly but it addresses a real problem. You don’t see job ads stating no women, Blacks, Mexicans, people with disabilities, etc. (This was very much a thing in the not too distant past, just look at job ads in the USA from the 60s)

    Age was added later because employers prefer hiring younger people as they can often pay them significantly less and get more work out of them because of their inexperience.

    There are examples of employers firing all of their older workers to save money (though many of these companies turned out as terrible for the long term health of the company).

    Older people tend to vote more and the state doesn’t want to pay unemployment to people so hence the law was amended.

    This is just another example of age and deviousness triumphing over youth and enthusiasm.
