salty_chief@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Scientists say they have solved the mystery of what killed more than 5 billion sea stars33·11 hours agoThe answer is people peeing in the ocean. Just an hypothesis.
Probably a Tik Tok challenge about peeing in the sea. You know standard tom foolery.
Try driving in 1st person on GTA V. I was delivering weed and also smoked in Van. Impossible to not hit something. This is why I don’t drive under influence of anything.
I am playing Banisher’s of New Eden and the puzzles aren’t that hard. I have to change to another game. Come back when sober like wtf this shit is easy.
I paid my Car note and owed like $250 more for it to be paid off. My lender sent me a bill for $250 + $50 late fee. I called them and explained I just paid $430 and was going to pay the remaining next month. They said my 72 month contract ended is why. Okay but a late fee? I told them I will never do any business with them again.
If you had someone’s sweaty balls imprinted on you. Wouldn’t you call that abuse? Never mind don’t answer that question, I am afraid of the answer. /s
True, also best to not pay off your mortgage. It is a line of credit if worth more than you owe. Once you pay it off that credit line is gone.
Squatters have entered the chat.

They misspelled “Abused”.
Should read “Gaming Chair Lightly Abused.”
Itchy bum means it’s dirty or worms. May the odds be in your favor.
But this was the designated “Boot licker of the week” spot!
They have to go in 3’s because cartoons tell me they can stack up. They would wear a brown trench coat with shades. Then they can climb the ladder.
salty_chief@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•She faced $500 daily HOA fines for an unapproved door in her home. A new state law saved her3·4 days agoAs of recent estimates, Homeowners Associations (HOAs) in the U.S.) generate approximately $100 billion to $110 billion in annual revenue.
Here’s a breakdown of the numbers: • Number of HOAs: Over 360,000 across the U.S. • Households governed by HOAs: ~75–80 million people, or about 27–30% of the U.S. population. • Average annual HOA fees: Typically range from $200 to $400 per month per household, though this can vary widely depending on region and amenities.
Calculation (rough estimate): • Assume 40 million households in HOAs. • Average fee: $300/month × 12 months = $3,600/year • $3,600 × 40 million = $144 billion/year potential revenue
But not all of that is counted as formal “revenue” due to reserves, unpaid dues, or variable costs. So economists and industry sources usually estimate actual annual revenues around $100–110 billion.
Sources: • Community Associations Institute (CAI) • U.S. Census Bureau housing data • Industry reports on property management and community associations
salty_chief@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•US labor market adds 73,000 jobs in July while May, June reports see 'larger than normal' downward revisions3·4 days agoSecond estimate versus first (initial): On average, there was a −16,000 jobs/month revision in 2024 (seasonally adjusted).
Third estimate versus second: An additional average revision of −5,000 jobs/month.
Total average downward revision (first to third): roughly −20,000 jobs/month for 2024.
The annual benchmark revision (released August 2024) adjusted aggregate employment for the 12‑month period April 2023 to March 2024 downward by approximately 818,000 jobs, equivalent to about −68,000 jobs/month compared to the initial published series
These differences reflect typical sampling error corrections, but the −818,000 benchmark revision was significantly larger than usual

I’m withdrawing my fall course due to its deal with Trump | Rashid Khalidi13·4 days agoI recall a time before the internet. Only way you would know about world events is the newspaper or news broadcast. Those were simpler times.
Each individual has a choice that is theirs alone. If you want to personally protest a college, restaurant or event then have at it. Just don’t expect them to fail because you don’t support them. In life everyone is fighting to exist and that goes for institutions as well.

Oh, so Pizza was a metaphor for the chronic. Master Spliff(splinter) and Grinder (Shredder).
Where exactly are they getting these poll numbers from? I mean nearly all polls in the last few years have been out there to say the least.
Anyone who understands % knows this is just a number they chose.
