Basically anything that amounts to a weekend activity is fine if you live within an hour of a big city. You probably don't even have to drive in if it's a real city with actual transit.

You don't have to do idiot tourist trap poo poo, grab baseball tickets and eat a hotdog, I bet they're cheap af because nobody goes to baseball games anymore. Only old people see live theater, so you can probably get season tickets to a surprisingly decent theater for a reasonable price. If you get cheap ones they might not include whatever the flagship show is this year, but that's fine. Go find a sand volleyball club or something, that's free.

I can do all of that here in my town of 107,000. Like exactly all of that, there's a local baseball team, there's multiple sand volleyball leagues at the bars around here, and the Weidner hosts plays and orchestras.

I'm working a public sector job that's badly understaffed and as a result the tools and resources I need to do my job are badly broken and I'm burning out so hard but to leave a public sector job with amazing health benefits and a pension would be an amazingly stupid thing to do so I'm powering through it best I can until I drop dead from a stress-induced heart attack

I pretty much just shallow fry everything in my cast iron pan and it comes out fine. I had a deep fryer once and it was the most disgusting thing in my kitchen by far. There was just a miasma of grease around it all the time, and getting rid of all the used oil sucked. I'm never touching one of those again.

I honestly have to admire the craft of the marketing ghoul that linked these things to "AI." It's clearly working incredibly well. They're a hideous undead monster, sure, but craft is craft.

Like I've been saying, the actual big SEO content companies seem to be staying far away from AI content because it seems like they can see this result coming down the pipeline. Even without these clearly broken results, LLMs are not churning out sufficiently differentiated or accurate content for SEO purposes and that means it's either going to be useless and filtered out by the algorithms or it'll flood everything and destroy the whole internet advertising ecosystem.

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/15/chinas-youth-unemployment-hits-a-fresh-record-high-in-may-major-data-disappoint.html

quote:

BEIJING — China’s youth unemployment rose to a record in May, while major data missed expectations, according to data released Thursday by the National Bureau of Statistics.

The unemployment rate for young people ages 16 to 24 rose to 20.8% in May, a record and above the high set in April. The jobless rate for people of all ages in cities was 5.2% in May.

Retail sales for May rose by 12.7% in May from a year ago, below expectations for 13.6% growth forecast by a Reuters poll.

Industrial production rose by 3.5% in May from a year ago, slower than the 3.6% expected by the Reuters poll.

Analysts forecast a 4.4% increase in fixed asset investment for the first five months of the year from a year ago.

Fixed asset investment for the first five months of the year rose by 4% from a year ago, slower than the 4.4% predicted by Reuters.

“The national economy sustained the recovery momentum,” the statistics bureau said in a release in English.

However, the bureau warned of persistent challenges from the international environment and “mounting pressure” on the “domestic structural adjustment,” without elaborating much.

Figures for April had also missed analysts’ expectations, reflecting how China’s economic recovery from the pandemic was losing steam.

Authorities have started to loosen monetary policy in a bid to support growth, although broader measures aren’t expected until top leaders hold a regular meeting in late July.

China’s largest commercial banks last week cut deposit rates. On Tuesday, the People’s Bank of China cut its seven-day reverse repurchase rate by 10 basis points from 2% to 1.9%. The central bank is expected to lower a benchmark interest rate next week.

Slowing global growth, especially in the U.S. and Europe, is weighing on Chinese exports, a significant contributor to domestic growth.

China’s exports fell by 7.5% in May from a year ago, far worse than the 0.4% decline predicted by a Reuters poll.

However, China’s May imports dropped less than expected, down by 4.5% from a year ago.

China doesn't count students as unemployed in its data. No one does. It's essentially the unemployment rate among recent graduates.

The neighbor wasn’t keen on running a rental himself, so Inlow went home, drafted a business plan and made him a proposition: If you give me $2,000, I’ll furnish the apartment using Facebook Marketplace and list it for short-term rentals on Airbnb.

Inlow managed the listing — launching a company called Be Still Getaways to do so — and split the profits down the middle with her neighbor. After it started making money, the pair teamed up for a second listing. Inlow found another partner for a third rental unit, splitting the profits the same way.

Everything is so expensive now people must be pulling back on their purchases. I can tell because a bubble tea shop I've never given my email address to somehow got my email address to send a coupon deal to. It reminds me of early covid when a bunch of companies I had no idea had my contact info crawled out of the woodwork to tell me how much they care about me.

A bunch of friends were ordering bubble tea and I just wanted an unsweet ice tea. No frills, no sugar, just cold tea in a cup

It was $8.50 so I didn't order it
