Yep, companies give “unlimited PTO” because it’s a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.
Give them 20 days PTO/year? They’ll take around 20 a year.
Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.
Upside: not fired.
Downside: have to do work.
Upside: make money
Downside: not enough money

There’s a constant race between inventors and the universe. Inventors are trying to create idiot proof devices, and the universe is creating better idiots.
The universe is winning.
There’s always a trade off when it comes to any device.
Fast or slow, lots of features or basic, cheap or expensive, thin/stylish or ruggedized, water or other ingress resistant standards. All of these have to be weighted against each other.
Also what constitutes a drop? 4 feet, 40 feet, 400? (sorry if I turned on anyone with a foot fetish)
It is absolutely possible to create a mobile phone with most features people want that survives multiple 4 foot high drops, but it will be encased in a few cm of rubber, the touch screen will be under a noticeable screen protector, and reception might suffer a bit, and it won’t have wireless charging unless you’re ok if that stops working after a unlucky drop. It will also probably be expensive, even more so if you then want to use more premium materials in order to try and slim it down some.

HOW DOES SUCH A SMALL BEING MAKE SO MUCH POOP?!
Turns out homeless people drink much more milk than expected, or are somehow getting their hands on calcium supplements, their bones are far less brittle than expected and keep dulling out the blades.
They should just call it the family wreath.
I always think of it like this song: https://genius.com/Heidevolk-a-wolf-in-my-heart-lyrics
Except replace the word heart with ass.
There’s a wolf
In my ass
And it’s fighting to survive
Don’t be part of the problem. Be part of the solution! Start shopping for underwear at Victoria’s Secret, Honey Birdette, etc.
The only downside is occasionally not being sure who’s underwear is who’s. Also it might not fit guys as well, but that can be excused for the extra style.
The ad on the left is for gaming products, but the picture is for a hair eraser/exfoliator. The joke is that gamers are all uWu femboys.
I mean, a lot of us probably are, but there’s going to be a few that are outliers.
Then again, I like my legs being hair free, especially during summer, makes me feel cooler (but only temperature wise, I’m as awkward as all hell otherwise)
Smooth hair free legs make you run faster in CS2.
They also make it easier to slip into cute femboy outfits.
Win-win!

Inertia is also in play.
Sync for Lemmy is built by the same guy that built sync for Reddit. Built using seemingly a lot of the same code.
I bounced between all the open source apps and have started using sync for Lemmy because it’s familiar and it works. It also seems to be much faster than the others, maybe due to more aggressive caching/prefetching? Or that could be a placebo effect.
I was always having weird issues with jebora and the rest of them, and was not a fan of Voyager’s interface.
I might try connect, jebora, etc again a bit later. Might also purchase the one time and remove for sync, might donate to Lemmy instances, etc.
For now I’m just glad to have a familiar interface.
Because even if this was implemented, rich assholes will find ways around it.
That house? Oh it’s owned by an LLC that rents it from the company I own for $1a month, I then house sit as a second job for $1 a month.
That car? Same deal.
My internet, home phone, electricity, water, insurance and all other home expenses? Paid for by my company as part of WFH rules for executives.
I also have regular business meetings in Hawaii and other overseas locations for business purposes.
