Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

lol, lmao
UK tryin to pretend it's a player in the modern tech world while paying people less than interns make in California
The entire UK is a country sized Potemkin Village set up by the United States to let the terf islanders live out their remaining days in peace while the rest of the world kindly plays along.
“You know back in my day the sun never set on our glorious empire”
Oh wow gran that’s amazing. How would you like some mushy peas huh? That sounds good, right?
What are you trying to kill me? Mushy peas are much too spicy. Now if you dip some bread into the pea wet, then that's a proper meal innit.
why u gotta bring the mushy peas in to this
Baby food
British daal.
Except daal is good lol (mushy peas are fine but this was the funnier thing to say)
Lol. Go have a Mackies.
Where's my peace motherfucker!?!
You're right, but this applies to like 500 people who run Britain, 300 of which their families always have, and 200 of which pretend their families always did.
I think you'd pull more even here in Colombia for a job like that
It's less than ten years since the British goverment spent several years trying to ban encryption entirely until eventually enough poeple they trust told them they were fucking idiots and it would destroy the economy overnight.
It would be funny if British colleges complied and stopped teaching about encryption and all the fresh government hires have no idea what any of it means
Californian interns make nearly $72k?
At big tech companies yes
What’s cost of living like though?
In fairness I reckon you could piss away three and a half grand a month away fairly easily in London.
obscene, you're considered low income in the bay area if you make <$104k
For a family for 4
Single income earner making 100k is doing perfectly fine
https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/low-income-median-levels-18164328.php not in 3 counties
Idk, I live here and I think the numbers are inflated because of tech bros tbh
100k = 65k after taxes
You can find a nice studio in downtown or 1 bedroom outside downtown center for 1.6-2.2k, after utils. Ignore the median rent in the article, it's cause of all the luxury apartments that are needlessly expensive for tech bros
65k = 5.4k /month
After taxes and rent you have 3.4k a month?
In a city that's tiny and has a workable public transit system so you also don't need a car
Yeah, I’ve heard that. Got mentioned in a thing about the Cecil Hotel, in San Francisco, how basically no one can afford to live in downtown LA or SF. Interesting to hear it off an actual person.
60-150k
Median is probably 100k
72k is like minimum wage in California lol.
I think this is also what the average new grad makes in London in the private sector...
Certainly half of what new grads are paid at the big players
