So what's up with "not gonna lie"? I've been hearing it for over a decade, and I hear it from known liars, people I trust, and all the shades of in-between. This is the first time I've seen it on Lemmy.

We are still using VGA on current gen installations for the primary display on the most expensive patient monitoring system products in the world. If there's a second display it gets displayport. 1080p is still the max resolution.
My landlord offered to sell me the house I rent for $67k. It extremely small and needs probably 40k in repairs to even make it safe to live in. This is in one of the lowest cost of living areas of the country. You can't make good money here unless you travel for work or have advanced degrees or certifications AND/OR know the right people
Why even bring gender or race into it? Harris would have been better for the Palestinians. Not great, not good, not even mediocre, but better than what we got.
Trump and Elon are going to crash the economy. I know the stock market is actually based on rich people vibes, but I can't see it not tanking at some point, quite possibly soon. I took all the money I had saved for a down payment on a house out of the market on Tuesday.
