President Biden announces ceasefire to end fighting between Israel and Hezbollah
  • Mr. Biden said if Hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and poses a direct threat to Israel, then Israel retains the right to self-defense.

    And if Israel breaks the deal then the Lebanese people have a right to self defense, too.

  • Wondering if it's looking good for me on getting called back for a job based on wording?
  • It means you're still in consideration.

    I know when I've hired in the past, if I like the first person I interview I still try to interview at least one more person so I actually have a choice. If I don't like someone I'll immediately let them know.

  • How are people so chill about co-workers stealing food?
  • The only time I've ever had my food stolen was when I was working as a deckhand on a tug. I've been working white collar jobs for the past 25 years and haven't had to deal with it since.

    Also, my solution was to spray degreaser on my food the next day and wait to see who complains. Turns out, I'm the one who got in trouble for that even though I put a 'do not eat' sign in the food.

  • Pluralistic: Bluesky and enshittification (02 Nov 2024) Cory Doctorow
  • I am surprised that some of his usual audience joined a platform specifically because of him.

    You're surprised that a privacy and security advocate and essayist with a large online following would have people who would take his advice on which social media platform is best for security and privacy?

  • As a young American, how do I motivate myself to work? It feels like the entire system is a scam and it's pointless to even try.
  • You've gotten a lot of good suggestions, and this comment might get buried but I wanted to let you know that I was there 20 years ago. The future looked bleak, I had a shitty job that was sucking my life force away... one day as I was walking into work through an alley I saw someone had left a shopping cart there. I had the thought that I could just grab that cart and keep walking... turn my back on my former life and just live my way. I passed that cart for 3 weeks... then I realized that I either need to grab the cart or find a different plan for my life. I then looked at my options, found a career path, and then started working toward that plan. It was about 3 years of very hard work, with very little social life. But I stuck with my plan, got a better job and stayed on that career path. There have been setbacks, but looking back those were just blips.

    The Mac vs. PC war is back on?

    www.theverge.com The Mac vs. PC war is back on

    Microsoft’s M1 moment looks like it’s just days away.

    The Mac vs. PC war is back on

    I find it hard to believe that, outside of work computers, many people would be choosing Windows over Mac or Linux, especially is AI is their goal.

    I'm also curious why the comments are turned off for this article unless it is a paid ad for Microsoft.

    Is it a sweatshirt or a jacket?

    I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I'm surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I'm prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I'm the only one.
