I looked this guy up. In addition to having the most generic white person name ever, and a face that I’m starting to suspect is an AI composite from the prompt of “generic professional white boy”, his website is a shitty SquareSpace template where the links don’t even work and the images are all generated as well.

His only claim to fame is owning a no-name storage unit business which anyone with some land and Pods can do.

I think this is a scammer who preys on “entrepreneur” wannabes.

The reason they are cheap and dedicated is because they are desperate, living in a country where if they didn’t have this job they would literally be starving and in poverty.

So CEOs like this are simply capitalizing on their desperation to save money from hiring domestic workers who have a better safety net. Absolutely disgusting pieces of trash.

Also why does this guy who looks like a 19 year old frat boy believe anyone should listen to his advice?

Democrats need to stop trying to be the bigger person. Unfortunately the political playing field has devolved to the point that doing so always leads to the losing position.

Being optimistic about human nature has led us here. The reality is a lot of people are just shitty people.

I almost landed that EV CEO job but a damn immigrant beat me to it.

The advice is usually pretty common sense and likely nothing you haven’t heard before. The main benefit is having a safe space you can discuss your anxieties with a professional and having someone who will listen with minimal judgement. Also sometimes you need to be reminded of common sense when you lose sight of it.

Basically it’s a paid friendship without all the other benefits of friendship.

Honestly I wouldn’t be going if it weren’t fully covered by my husband’s insurance.

If you want to avoid politics go on Pinterest or something. Nearly every discussion based social media will trend toward politics because that is the shithole we’re in now.

Yes, Lemmy is probably 60% people who were banned from Reddit for being overly political.

And steals her baby.

In my city is not safe to be gender conforming. The queer gangs rove at night.

i mean I think I got that. I meant what is literally happening in this photo? What are these kids riding on? Why is that other kid curled up in a ball on the bathroom floor? What led to this photo being taken?

I am highly curious about the context of this particular one.

When did compound interest even get invented?

They … held the exact same stance as Trump currently holds

This lie is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Yes Democrats support Israel but there is no instance where they called for literal starving and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by pushing them out of their country.

Their goal was and has always been a two-state solution. Trump’s current stance is a one-state solution where the other state becomes a golf course.

I highly doubt the genocide as we are seeing it today would be happening if Harris had won. This plan at the very least wouldn’t have been proposed by the American president and received a rubber stamp of approval by the US government. We would have likely ceased aid to Israel by now and mobilized the UN to inflict other penalties.

Haha same. Honestly I think that was the only reason I ever burned CDs.

Thanks. I’m in my thirties now and don’t need a dad or mom (actually I’ve been pretty independent most of my life and never really expected anything from either of them).

For the last couple of years though I have been in contact with my dad about once a year which is about as much as I can tolerate since he’s also a MAGA conservative Christian though just slightly more accepting of gay people since he was raised in Western culture unlike my mom (still thinks I’m going to hell though), and he reached out.

As long as we can avoid politics or religion the chat is fine. He inevitably starts raving positively about Trump, defending rapists, or disparages trans people so that’s when I stop the conversation/visit.

I’ve been no contact with my mom for over a decade now. She rejected me due to me being gay and still isn’t accepting. She’s very old school third world Orthodox Catholic.

As for the day, it’s not too bad so long as I avoid ads and such trying to extract money from me for the event.

I’ve come to peace with the fact that we will never have a relationship and honestly it’s better now than when we were in contact since even before knowing I was gay she was incredibly physically and emotionally abusive.

I’m not a scientist but I sometimes watch science YouTube videos when I should be working. Can I come?

That’s why I let them do it. If it would have harmed them seriously or someone else I would have stopped it. But still doesn’t make it less stupid. They put themselves in legit pain due to peer pressure.

If anything it served a good lesson so they might be less likely to succumb to peer pressure on things which may cause real harm in the future.
