In my area Walmart did the strategy of closing all the regular checkouts to force everyone to use the self-checkouts. After they figured out it makes it easier to steal, they had to put more employees up front watching them

So now they just don't open all the self checkouts rather than pay the old amount of wages and we're waiting longer than ever to ring up our own groceries.

My partner had a ton of old credit card debt that got written off this year. That generated a tax bill of over $4300!

It's such bullshit that it's considered a taxable event to be so poor the credit card company would rather take the tax write off than try to collect.

I was going to try an offer in compromise because they are on disability and poor, but it's such a maddeningly complex process that we can't even start because the stupid IRS website won't recognize their identity documents. It's so amazing that the website to file for relief has the security of fort Knox, but I can make a credit card payment with no verification at all.

we facilitate enrolling people in prescription drug coverage, Medicare supplements, and Medicare Advantage.

Part of what my agency does is do a lot of branding and advertising related to the enrollment and Medicare process by offering free guidance and local services.

They phrase this like they do this out of kindness, but tricking elderly people into Medicare Advantage is a massive business.

These shitty little agencies open storefronts with names like, "Senior care solutions", to trick people into thinking they are like a nonprofit service. In reality it's a business that gets huge commissions to get people into privitised Medicare Advantage plans. These are plans just like every other kind of shitty private health insurance where you need pre-approval, where they deny claims automatically, and where you can get dropped when your care gets too expensive.

Fuck this lady.

In the states I'm familiar with he'd have to evict you, or sell the house and let the new owners evict you. Not paying rent doesn't mean you don't live there legally. Generally speaking police won't remove you without an eviction order as long as you have some proof that you live there, such as belongings inside or mail addressed to that address.

You probably don't have a defense for eviction, but at the least you could buy time to figure things out. How long that is definitely depends on the state and the local court with jurisdiction.

Check out your area's legal aid website. They generally have self-help resources for evictions, and they usually have some kind of open consultation hours where you can talk to someone for legal advice.

If you want to DM me your state, I'll look into the specific laws for you.

I usually end up watching Bob and Brad on YouTube whenever I need some physical therapy exercises. They're geared for non-athletes and the exercises they discuss usually don't require major purchases.

I just used their video about bruised ribs.

I've been doing Walmart spark gig work. One of my first orders was shopping for someone. They ordered 5 gallons of whole milk, 28 chocolate cookies, a box of double stuffed Oreos, a chocolate cake and a bra.

I get all the stuff in the order the app tells me to, which has the bra last. It doesn't say which size, so I end up having to scan every one, none of which is correct. So I tap the button to say it's not in stock and go to check out. Right before I get there it says, "Order cancelled. Give the cart to an associate or leave it in a safe place."

It's late and no employees are around, so I just end up leaving the cart full of milk just sitting there, because I'm not getting paid to stock shelves.

The whole thing was bizarre, but at least I still got paid $12.

Every period of market instability ends with the rich ending up with a greater share of the total wealth, which is all that matters when you're that rich. Number goes down, sure, but they don't generally need to sell shares to survive.

*What is success

Sounds like you don't know much about their relationship. Even if they are still in a monogamous relationship, the way I see it, that's between them.

Probably smart to clarify the bounds of your relationship before you get too far, but I'd say go for it.

Rate my resume lie:

Saying I was not working the last 10 years because I stayed home with my child. I made a little "Family Caregiver" resume blurb, that in hr speak says my kid is now in college and I'm ready to work.

Now, I have no child, but this 10 year gap is killing me, and it's the best lie I can come up with that can't be disproven. It's not the most ideal thing to have to continue to lie about, but I need a job.

What do you think?

These are crude downloaders with WebUI's for downloading audiobooks and ebooks respectively, using annas-archive and audiobookbay. I recently connected them up to Calibre-web-automated and Audiobookshelf, so my less tech literate partner can easily download and read pirated books without any work on my part.

Nothing special, but it's basically like an *arr stack for books.

I got this message from an employer I applied to yesterday:

"We have received your resume and cover letter in response to our ad for (position) for (employer). We are currently reviewing all candidates at this time. If we are interested in learning more, we will contact you directly.

We wish you the best in your endeavors. We will keep your resume on file for 1 year."

Is that a rejection? Or is it just a weird way to acknowledge receiving my resume?
