I work with plenty of people from India. They’re pretty good at their jobs. They should be paid the same as us in the USA.

I don’t mind that they work on the other side of the world. I don’t mind them at all. I mind that the main reason why they’re hired is that my employer can pay them peanuts. They deserve better.

This is a private school so they don’t get much in the way of direct government funding. State-funded schools are considerably cheaper. I went to Wright State University in Ohio. Right now it’s about $13k/yr in tuition. This is still rather expensive on a global scale.

Why do private schools charge that much? Because people (like you) will pay that much. What about the University of Chicago makes it so that you are willing pay for it? What do you or your son hope to get out of it that a school in your home country (I’m assuming Canada) can’t give him? To compare to Wright State, even for out-of-country students the tuition is less than half of Chicago’s tuition. Is the benefit of going to Chicago worth that much more? If it is, then that is exactly what you’re paying for.

My understanding is that if I follow @dadjokes@lemmy.world from Mastodon what happens is:

• I will see all posts on that community
• I will also see all replies to that post
• The replies are listed in Mastodon as boosts from @dadjokes@lemmy.world

For example:

That’s what I see if I go to @dadjokes@lemmy.world from Mastodon.

Is that what you are talking about regarding boosts?

Don’t forget to multiply that value!

The people who are taking up extra space are trying to tell you that they’d rather sit alone than talk to a stranger on the bus/train/etc.

They will move their stuff so that you can sit down if you ask. There is no trouble in asking and you don’t need to “pick the biggest guy.” Just ask someone “may I sit here, please?” That works 99% of the time.

What happened, he ended up vacating the seat and like a preschooler wanted to know why him and not everybody else.

That’s because some person yelled at him for what should have been a very civil and simple conversation.

I find this is often the case. People want to make noise because they want other people to notice them or because they have oppositional defiant disorder and like to piss off people.

I can’t speak to whether or not it is “ok” unless I have a lot of knowledge of the situation.

I think the fairest way to split an inheritance is by need, although that’s not always known at the time of drawing up a will.

Agreed in part. We should absolutely continue to support Ukraine in any/all ways possible against Russia. However Russia doesn’t have the economy to really do much to the rest of Europe. Rubles are going to be worth more as toilet paper than money in the next few years.

In some states they simply reuse the picture they have on file when you get a replacement card. Depends on how old the picture is.

Yep. You play by the rules on the ground. Gerrymandering shouldn’t be a thing, but as long as it is, the Democrats should use it to their advantage.

Why is this? Do these people literally go to the ballot box just to vote trump and leave?

This was found to actually be a somewhat common voting pattern.

I’ve heard that Debbie is the best thing to do in Dallas.

Of course. But they need to ask. The FBI or local police doesn’t get a daily report of our whereabouts every day.

I assume they roll the dice because it’s rather hard to get by without a phone.

Also, it’s not like the government is actively tracking everyone’s location. I’m sure if they wanted to track me they could, but it’s not like my position is being actively logged right now.

This sounds like depression. I think you should get an eval from a mental health professional.

Yes. Mastodon is a product of Mastodon gGmbH. He is the BDFL (Benevolent Dictator for Life) of the software. Anyone can fork the software if they so choose and make their own.

What I think @Foni@lemm.ee is trying to get at is that Mastodon is a non-profit and doesn’t have investors looking to make a return like Bluesky does. Mastodon is driven entirely by donations.

Gotta conjugate the verb! /s

I have a coworker whose maiden name is Dykes. She was very happy to change.

In terms of what he got done, he’s easily the most left wing President since LBJ. Perhaps FDR. Whether or not that is defined as left-wing/leftist/liberal is a matter of opinion.
