@Secftblgirl ha. Is there a source for this or is it just a funny meme without data behind it?
@TaggyT@noagendasocial.com @ReadyKilowatt Agreed. But should millennials have divined ROI from nowhere? Of course the non profitable degree won't teach that there's no ROI there, it'd be bad for business. But certainly this is something the parents of millennials (boomers) may have missed.
At the same time, I don't understand those who as adults signed contracts to borrow and repay then beg for their agreed upon debts to be wiped away.
@freemo congrats! I love first editions. I have one from a favorite author from over 100 years ago my wife got me as a gift. We have several first editions now, but it's rare to have them over a century old.
As fun as it is to see boomers attack the generation they raised and see millennials respond in kind...the article seems to key this not off of lower wages due to hours worked nor lavish lifestyle spending but the dramatic increase in the cost of higher education. I wonder who was the driving force for millennials in pursuit of college degrees no matter the debt required.
The old SNL sketch with Steve Martin and his book Don't Spend Money You Don't Have would serve boomers, Xers, and millennials alike.
@barefootstache hm. It's complicated by the fact that they hand picked items to survey, and what did they hand pick? 🤣
Two-thirds (65%) of the high-engagement true statements were characterized as benefiting liberals, while only 10% of accurate claims were considered beneficial to conservatives. On the other side, 46% of falsehoods were rated as advantageous to conservatives, compared to 23% of false claims benefiting liberals.
Looks like a pretty stacked deck to me. Looks from this like the survey ended up : 7 out of 8 of these true statements align with liberal talking points. Meanwhile 5 of these 7 false things are false and align with with conservative taking points. We're shocked, shocked I tell you that when surveyed people agree with stacked headlines that align with their preexisting bias.
How to mute advertisements at several gas stations in the US

This suggestion is for Valero but apparently also works for similar pumps at Chevron and Circle K.
@Lonestar this past 14 months certainly seems to be a time of competing hysterias. It will be fascinating to look back on.
@ParkerTechGuy Over here in South Denver, I've always used a manual /reel mower. Today was the first time I've used a powered mower as an adult. And my 11 year old did most of the mowing! 👍
@ParkerTechGuy coupon expires June 30, but didn't say what year. Is it still worth $50 off for another 2 months?
I'm allowed to put weight on my broken leg now. Just registered for the marathon in October. #running
Talk about going full circle with segregation.
@PhoneBoy @isaac @itshans this is the first I've heard of this...I'm reading their book about how they create policies to encourage a calm and less stress and thus more productive working environment. They pay everyone per role, not as an individual, with pay at the 90th percentile of hat role's market pay range in San Francisco, regardless of where the employee lives and works.... And so on. This policy seems on line with those values, surprised employees are leaving.
I'll work here, but only if I can talk politics on company time.
Seems odd
I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.
