I did that with a game I installed and couldn't figure out how to fix it. So I just uninstalled the game and tried again...

Swedish buy-now-pay-later company Klarna, whose CEO once bragged about its automated customer service AI bots doing the work of "700 full-time agents," is now in deep trouble. The fintech outfit is facing net losses of $99 million for the first quarter of this year, CNBC reports, which is more than double compared to the same period last year.

The company had already paused its highly anticipated IPO in the US last month, which once valued it at over $15 billion. And it's all particularly noteworthy because of how CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski previously bragged that he hadn't hired anyone in a year, following a doubling down on AI tech.

Tesla’s brand image has also been negatively impacted in the area of ethics. He ranked last on character in the Harris Poll and also performed poorly on morality and citizenship. A slew of controversies—from Musk’s reckless Nazi jokes to corporate culture issues and Autopilot incidents—have fueled the perception that Tesla is not just a struggling company, but one fundamentally out of touch with consumer values. The company is making sweeping changes with incentives and the promise of a $25,000 electric car, but regaining trust may require more than just a new model.

I just checked out Airbnb recently and they have a banner that states the price tag is now the ENTIRE PRICE. No more $300 sticker price followed by $200 of fees during checkout.

It's a step in the right direction.

Unfortunately, hosts are still bundling bullshit like post checkout clean the floor, wash the roof, and milk the dog else be fined.

This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.

As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.

But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there's 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?

For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.

Just made up numbers.

Of course, don't get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That's not the intent here.

I loved this thing. Bought like three of them in a decade rather than join the iPod universe.

Jeez, you're right and Im sorry. I blast these while in the bathroom and pick communities that fit it without thinking.

I'll do better and I really appreciate the modding of this community. Keeps us above board.

I was thinking about this like, right now, jar lids are in our favor.

But if men didn't exist to invent jar lids that require upper body strength and strong wrists to open, how will they be shaped?;
