The coughing, holy shit. I used to wake up and sound like I was dying and spit out so much nasty shit every morning. My family could literally tell when I was awake by the sounds I made.

When I first hugged my little brother after I switched to vaping he said, “you don’t smell like cigarettes” and my heart just broke. I can’t ever go back, even if vaping isn’t really helping me quit nicotine, it’s still saving them from being around the smell like I was when I was a little kid, and I hated that damn smell. Should’ve never started, but it’s easier said than done.
They don’t sell Huawei phones in the US anymore, though.
They hired a law firm with a history of representing companies against unions lmao.
As a former Authorized tech for all the big three phone manufacturers, including Google, I can tell you Google is not friendly to their customers. They’re a greedy, scum sucking piece of shit just like Apple and Samsung.
Bruh. Breakfast burritos did not originate in California lmao. My family was making breakfast burritos in the 50s at least.
8 hour day protestors got into firefights with the police on dozens of occasions. They killed police, foremen, Pinkerton stooges, and more. The civil rights law was won on the back of hundreds of riots all across the US. The history they teach in schools is explicitly designed to hide the true history of class struggle.
No worries, it’s only one example also. They have better maternity laws than my country, better sick time laws, better overtime pay, better holiday pay, more holidays. It’s not perfect, nowhere is, but it’s not the land of sweat shops most would have you believe it is.
我也这个三月去了中国哈哈。我上了火车，是非常快！谢谢你，我希望你的旅游非常好。我会很快回中国，下次我会去中国的南边，上次我去了的北边。一点冷了但是美丽的。我喜欢的北边的山
恭喜！去中国三个月是非常好啊！我的公司只让我去二个周/一个年。你去过中国吗? 我老婆住在中国，我们老的时候，我们会搬家中国一起，但是现在她会搬家美国所以我们可以一起上班发财。在美国我的工作好但是在中国我不可以上班所以我们必须要有很多钱以前
I’m not in tech, I’m in manufacturing, and I’ve become trapped in my job because wages in the industry have gone down by about 10% in the last year. Thankfully I’m grandfathered in from the relatively high wage I got in the post covid wage rises, but my raises have been sub inflation two years in a row. Even going by the entirely bullshit official government inflation numbers, my real wage has gone down since I started.
Prices on housing and food are so sky high, that I can’t even get approved for a one bedroom apartment or studio despite making $60k, because they’re charging 55% of my after tax wage per month. I don’t live on the coasts, either. The job I came from before this was paying me $21/hr, and is now offering $16/hr, which is literally less than Taco Bell and just above minimum wage. Food and other transient monthly costs are so high now that after feeding my family and paying my bills, I’ll be able to save about $3k this year, down from 8.5k last year.
