Sure, I did make a couple comments between today and yesterday, including this one, so I’m not sure where the “gotcha” is here.

I signed in yesterday to check how a deletion script of mine would work and decided to scroll around. Yesterday I saw a social security thread that was some news I didn’t come across yet, and today I saw this thread in my list of active threads as I tabbed back and it piqued my interest.

If you’re curious about my future activity:

• In a day or two I’ll be making an announcement post in an announcements community saying I have a tool to help purge user posts
• In about a week-10 days I’ll make a final “hey! this instance is shutting down real soon!”

Mind explaining the reasoning behind the downvote?

To add on,

Go look at some of the downvoters. Some of the folks doing some of the downvoting spend an enormous amount of time on Lemmy.

It’s probably why Lemmy’s activity has been dying off except for the hyper-active power-users.

This is an endemic problem on Lemmy and is part of why I’m mostly done with it (I’m just lurking around right now to keep an eye on my instance I’m decommissioning).

There’s no point in trying to build a community with a very hostile environment for anything that doesn’t align with the very odd hostile-against-everything-not-OSS zeitgeist.

Take a look at [email protected]. The folks downvoting don’t even own EVs and just spam bad takes on News and Politics communities.

Ironically Reddit is a healthier place.

Have fun being mad at the world. It isn’t good for your blood pressure.

I’m not a fan of raising it but you’re just incorrect and ought to look into how this works.

You can start pulling benefits out at 62 but you can collect more per month the longer you wait.

There is nothing stopping you from deciding at age 62 to start collecting if you’re fine with the lower amount.

Next, the amount provided is never promised. You pay into Social Security for current benefit recipients and Social Security gives you an estimated amount of benefits you may see. This is called out many times, and I implore you to utilize the information on its site effectively.

Here’s the disclaimer:

We can’t provide your actual benefit amount until you apply for benefits. And that amount may differ from the retirement estimates because:  …

• Your estimated benefits are based on current law. The law governing benefits amounts may change. Congress has made changes to the law in the past and can do so at any time.

Or there’s yours.

Life after high school is going to open your mind up.

Yeah I completely derped on who this backfired on… That explains my confusion 😂

The BBC should settle down lol, it didn’t backfire. Some group of aides took 900 calls, probably tallied it up on a few sticky notes, and passed them to a rep who tossed it in a bin.

it unanimously passed committee (!!!)

it’s practically certain to pass the house

it’s practically certain to pass the senate

it’s guaranteed to be signed by biden

To also add, in a call with the WSJ: Farley suggested that Ford may be switching the charge port location because they want to go full-in on interoperability with Tesla Supercharging stations.
