This is a warning about Meta and Threads.
Please boost this here and outside of Mastodon so that pregnant people in the United States are informed that using Meta/Threads is dangerous.
I'm unlikely to get pregnant but I have ZERO presence on Meta/Facebook/Instagram/Threads as a matter of principle.
@Monday aus (1.5) -> usd (1) but anything in the double-digit-k range would make me salivate tbh.
think of all the tacos, books, and videogames! ...
or more responsible things like loans, tuition, and bills i guess.
@Monday oh, gotcha. that would be rough because home life doesn't go away when you punch out for the day. but i don't think my answer would change. 40k *in savings* is a life-altering amount of money.
barring safety, my smooth brain would just grit it's teeth.
@Monday before college i sat at a desk for almost six years. 30k/y before taxes and insurance was "making it" after working in food service for just as many years for half as much w/o insurance and longer hours. any wage job requires that kind of head-down silence.
so yes, i would. i did.
now? i don't know if would get out of bed for less than 20/h. granted, my wife works now (we traded) and makes way more money than i even did. so admittedly i have that privilege.
@XanIndigo ordinarily i try to stay away from sarcasm because i'm of the opinion that it's my generation's way of running away from problems ... but damn, i am so salty seeing every horrible invention from future-looking media being reproduced in real life.
we (the grand we) have learned nothing from speculative fiction.
cyberpunk is cool now!
why not put guns on flying / dog drones?; why not make a vr headset that kills you?; why not birth ai that replaces creativity?
