Thank you.

Also I'm curious, it wasn't until recent years I've learned that unemployment benefits are even a thing. So I'm wondering, if someone gets fired from a job, it must've been because they did something really bad, so how could they be entitled to continue getting paid after doing something really bad? And then continue getting paid up to six months while not working at all? That seems strange to me.

But also there was the COVID era when so many people couldn't work because their jobs shut down, and they drew unemployment and then, so I understand that's a valid scenario.

But my question remains, if someone gets fired from a job, it must've been because they did something really bad, so how could they be entitled to get paid after doing something really bad?

chemical storage closet at work..A hydrogen chloride container leaked out onto some iodine containers.

Yep, sounds like a typical day on a typical family farm

If you don't feel like you fit into any of those four above categories, you're gonna have to take your own picture of the aimless mayhem you've made of your life you described up there and make a fifth category.

What do they base the monthly pay on? Is it minimum wage? or based on what you were already currently earning?

And where does that money come from? who funds it? The previous employer? or the government, taxes?

Let me try to more articulately guess what OP was trying to say:

Imagine the bank kicking you & your family out of your house, then holding you all prisoner in some other suboptimal surviving situation, feeding you just enough to barely survive, in exchange for your labor, keeping you forever indebted to the bank and working to increase shareholder wealth, but you can't keep any money for yourselves. All value from your labor goes to shareholders while you work until you die, so that shareholders can have sex parties on their yachts.

I'm sure the builders were paid extremely well for their troubles, so they can afford the cost of living and they can all buy their own houses.

haha jk I know that's not how the real world works. The people who work the hardest get paid the least and they can barely survive.

Yeah my interpretation is this photo is full of rich people because they're all happy and Even the one who isn't happy has healthcare.

... and the only place to emergency park was in a touristy area where all the parking lots require a fee, would that accident-car have to pay for parking there while he's in a crisis?

I have to submit a document for employment and they want my passport but my passport photo is 5.49 MB and they say you can't upload anything more than 5 MB. How can I shrink that file on my android phone without paying some service?

Humans need approx 1tsp (or less) of sodium daily as an essential nutrient. I was low on sodium this morning* then spent the day at the beach in the salty ocean air, then within about 30 minutes I wasn't dizzy and nauseous anymore. Did the ocean air provide me sodium somehow?

*(dizzy & nauseous, I know the symptoms well since I often have no sodium in my diet and I've learned this through experience the last 5 years and I have to consciously remember to add sodium to my diet, and if I forget then I have dizziness and nausea)

Reddit wouldn't let me post this for some reason, Maybe because that subreddit r/askadoctor is dead, there have been no posts there for 3 years, so instead of abandoning my attempt at a post, I screenshat it and posting it here on Lemmy.

The slices in the middle are big, and the slices on the end are so small. Why can't they make it a rectangle with equally-sized square slices?

When you're lonely, you don't become cripplingly hopeless and withdraw from life? You just contact some friends or easily make new friends and have a good time and carry on with life?

When you're driving your car and everything is fine until you come to a stoplight, you don't suddenly become depressed at the stoplight like I do?

When you wake up every morning, you don't have crippling existential dread? You just get up and go about your day cheerfully, without analyzing the futile meaninglessness of the big picture?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I don't want any of it!

Next phone I buy I want to start with a clean slate, I'm not going to affiliate with any conglomerate like Verizon or AT&T or Sprint or T-Mobile etc, I prefer to go rogue somehow,

which smartphone do you recommend that has no bloatware and it's customizable?
