Behavior Interactive just announced another Dead by Daylight crossover that brings everyone’s favorite looter/archeologist Lara Croft into the game. The Tomb Raider expansion launches on July 16 and features the younger and grittier version of the character as seen in the newer titles collected in the Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy.
The ultimate survivor faces a gauntlet of otherworldly peril.

This is technically Croft’s first foray into horror, but she’s definitely no stranger to cold-blooded murder. Throughout the franchise, she’s ended the lives of around 3,000 people. She’s a bigger killer than Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers combined. She even signed up to fight in the Call of Duty franchise. In other words, Croft will be right at home fending off Leatherface, Pinhead and the other horror icons featured in the game.
Dead by Deadlight is currently embroiled in a chapter inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, complete with a murderous Vecna and plenty of new maps. So the addition of a non-horror character like Croft doesn’t come as too much of a surprise. There’s also a Castlevania-inspired chapter coming later in the year, with details to be released in August.
There’s only one problem with this Tomb Raider crossover. The survivors in Dead by Daylight are typically unarmed and, well, Lara Croft loves her pistols, knives and bows. It’ll be weird to control a terrified and unarmed Croft, right? I guess we'll find out on July 16. Also, for those wondering, the devs still haven’t added the long-requested Jason to the lineup of killers.

In the latest onchain report, researchers highlight key metrics and behaviors of LTHs to understand supply and demand dynamics. Bitcoin Market Trends and Long-Term Holders Analyzed in the Latest Glassnode Report Glassnode’s analysis shows that […]Tesla’s Cybertruck is being recalled yet again, according to reporting by The Verge. The company issued a physical recall that could impact nearly 12,000 owners of the controversial vehicle.
Here’s how it breaks down. The company’s recalling 11,688 Cybertrucks due to a faulty windshield wiper that could significantly reduce visibility while driving. It’s also recalling 11,383 electric pickups because of trim in the bed that could come loose and create a road hazard for other people on the road. Tesla said that it’s “not aware of any injuries or deaths” related to either issue, according to Quartz.
The NHTSA's recall notice for the wiper indicates that Tesla will replace the wiper motor once the owner brings it in for service. As for the potentially loose trim, the company will apply “adhesion promoter and pressure sensitive tape or replace missing applique as necessary.” Both of these fixes will be free of charge.
This follows another significant recall from earlier this year. That one involved a faulty accelerator pedal that could get stuck during use. The accelerator pedal issue impacted nearly 4,000 vehicles.
It’s tough to figure out what percentage of sales these recalls impact, but it could be just about all of them. Back during the accelerator pedal fiasco in April, Tesla revealed it had manufactured and sold 3,878 units to date. The company hasn’t released updated sales figures but these latest recalls account for nearly 12,000 vehicles. How many more could it have sold since April? Maybe people are snatching them up just for the purpose of spray painting anti-Elon graffiti.
The Cybertruck has been plagued by issues since launch, though most of them didn’t reach the level of a recall. Consumers have complained about an overall lack of visibility, difficulty in off-road conditions, costly repairs, an inability to drive on snow, poor mileage and all kinds of other frustrations. It also starts at nearly $82,000.

Vaccotti stated that large amounts of energy have been assigned through these contracts that have not been taken advantage of and are blocked […]It feels like this year is going by at the speed of light, doesn’t it? I can hardly believe that it's already June. Everyone is in vacation mode and ready to relax by the pool and forget the daily grind of work and taking care of a family.
I completely understand the sentiment. Who doesn’t want to stop thinking about wallet-crushing inflation, high interest rates, credit card debt, and the sense that whatever you do you can’t advance in life? It almost feels like this whole system is rigged against you right?
Well, it is, to be honest, but that's a story for another time. The powers that be who want you fat, happy, and stupid have largely succeeded in that mission. Now that they have succeeded in dumbing down the populace, they literally can do whatever the hell they want and get away with it with impunity.
The thing is their hubris has gotten the best of them. The Federal Reserve and its zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) royally screwed things up to the detriment of the American people and the federal government.
Before the pandemic of 2020, the government had a hard time keeping the inflation rate around its 2 percent benchmark. Certain economic factors such as improved technology, a declining birth rate, baby boomer retirement, and globalization made it where inflation was trending down over time.
The Federal Reserve, in their infinite wisdom and constantly worried about deflation, kept cutting interest rates to spur borrowing and lending in the American economy, which worked for a time until we got to 2008 and the Great Financial Crisis (GFC).
The increased borrowing and lending overheated the housing market and almost took down the global economy, but luckily we had the “mighty” government to step in a fix a problem they helped create. That being said you would think they would have learned their lesson and got their fiscal house in order.
It’s the government, of course not! They did nothing of the sort, what they did do is keep going on their spending binge through the 2020 pandemic. It didn’t matter what political party was in office, the spending kept going up and up.
Did you know that former President Trump added $8.4 trillion to the national debt while he was in office and President Biden is not faring much better with total debt looking to clock in around the $7.9-$8 trillion mark? Needless to say, the government is broke and is living on borrowed time.
Whoever “wins” the election will be the captain of a sinking ship. Medicare and Social Security are broken and completely unaffordable but politicians don’t dare tell the millions of Americans who “paid” into their entire working lives that there is no pot of money set aside for them and that it was just an elaborate tax scheme to fund the government.
You are NOT entitled to receive social security “benefits”, I hope you know that by now. If the government told you f**k you, you ain’t getting Social Security or Medicare, there isn’t a damn thing you could do about it. There are no lawsuits that you could file to compel the government to give you your money back or elect the “right” congressman to fix things. Once the government taxes your paycheck, that money is GONE forever.
You can’t trust the government to keep its end of the bargain or not to debase the currency and destroy your quality of life. With a government like this, why would you trust them with anything? Self-custody of assets is going to determine the winners and losers over the next 5-10 years.
I don’t know about you but I have this unsettling feeling that we are on the precipice of something major. It is going to be a paradigm shift for the whole world. If you look out over the horizon you can see all the pieces falling into place. Just take a look at what is going on:
The United States government is $34 trillion in debt with no end in sight.
Israel bombing the Iranian military in Syria
BRICS expansion and de-dollarization ongoing
Global birthrate under replacement levels
All across the globe there is open hostility or simmering tensions about to blow out in the open. I’m not sure if this is how the world felt pre-WW2 but it sure feels like the world is coming apart at the seams. With all this going on, how can you trust the current dollar-based system to protect your hard-earned wealth?
If you have large amounts of dollars in the bank, your wealth is at risk. The banks can confiscate or severely restrict your access to your money, especially during a bank run or some other unforeseen crisis. This is exactly what happened in 2013 during the Eurozone crisis.
During this time Cyprus’ two largest banks were in trouble and need of a bailout from the European Union. The Cypriot government was desperate and the EU knew it, so in classic mob fashion, they insisted on the bank conducting a bail-in using customer funds!!
It doesn’t get any worse than this people. According to a 2018 survey, 55 percent of households who were over the $100k threshold in deposits experienced direct financial loss, and 28 percent experienced a bail-in of deposits.
If you think it can’t happen to you, think again. I bet the Cypriots thought it couldn’t happen to them yet it did. Now is not the time to be complacent and think that everything is fine. If you are a Bitcoiner you understand the world we live in right now.
This is why self-custody of your assets, principally Bitcoin is a must if you want to survive the economic armageddon with your wealth intact.
Satoshi created Bitcoin and gave us the monetary policy that we need to change the trajectory of humanity from endless fiat wars and a dystopian surveillance state to a bright orange future where human potential can flourish.
In addition to creating a just and fair monetary system, Satoshi gave us the ability to self-custody our wealth without the need for a middleman such as a bank. A simple Bitcoin wallet address and your private key are all you need to secure your wealth from confiscation by a malicious third party. This is truly revolutionary, I mean this is a true 1776 moment in history that was fired back on Jan 3, 2009.
Self-custody gives you the ability to move across borders with your wealth and start over in a new place if push comes to shove. You can’t do that with gold, you can’t do that with silver, you can’t do that with your 401k or the brand new shiny Bitcoin ETFs.
Not your keys, not your coin is the mantra that should be drilled into the head of every single new person coming into Bitcoin. Trusting a custodian to hodl your Bitcoin wealth is just as risky as keeping money in the bank.
There is so much educational material and Bitcoiners willing to help people new to Bitcoin that quite frankly it is unacceptable to have anyone holding any amount of Bitcoin on an exchange. If a majority of Bitcoin holders are keeping their coins on an exchange or purchasing a Bitcoin ETF instead of the real deal, what are we even doing here? It's self-custody or bust. This is the mission at hand. Are you ready anon?

Looking for the best seasonal jobs?
Seasonal jobs are a great way to make extra money without having to work full-time all year. These jobs are perfect if you’re wanting to work part of the year, if you’re looking to make a part-time income, or if you want to try something a little more adventurous.
Depending on what you like and what you’re good at, there are many different jobs that can help you earn a good paycheck.
Plus, I know many, many people who work seasonal jobs and make a full-time income, so the money can be great as well.
Below are the best seasonal jobs.
One of the most popular seasonal jobs is being a camp counselor. This can include working at a daytime summer camp or even a week- or months-long summer camp.
This seasonal job revolves around creating a safe and enjoyable environment for campers. This involves running different activities such as games, arts and crafts sessions, leading hikes, and sometimes sharing stories around the campfire.
Typically, camp counselor positions are seasonal and tend to be during the summer months and can be either full-time or part-time.
When it comes to qualifications, a love for the outdoors, being good with kids, and having a responsible and caring demeanor are important.
While the pay can vary, camp counselors many times make around $20 an hour.
This is one of the best seasonal jobs for college students because it typically happens when you are off from school, and it may come with housing!

If you want a dependable seasonal job, UPS is a popular option.
My husband actually used to work for UPS for many years (as did his brother and many of our friends), and it is a very popular job for many reasons, such as the great health benefits.
UPS has seasonal positions such as being a seasonal driver helper.
During the holiday season, UPS ramps up its workforce, hiring over 100,000 helpers to manage the gift-giving rush. Positions such as driver helper are always needed and you can expect to earn around $20 per hour.
In terms of the work schedule, expect to work 20 to 30 hours per week. Driver helpers are only hired in October, November, and December.

Becoming a seasonal tour guide could be a way for you to combine work with your love for travel and adventure. It’s a job where you can share your passion with others while exploring new places.
Tour guiding is a job for anyone who loves talking to people and telling stories. You could guide visitors through a busy city, lead nature adventures, show art and history at museums, or organize trips for groups. There’s a tour guide job to match your interests and skills. To do well, you need to know a lot about the place you’re guiding in and have good communication skills.
Regarding earnings, tour guide pay varies widely. On average, hourly wages range from about $15 to $25, with specialized roles potentially earning up to $30 per hour.
Gift wrapping is a good winter seasonal job, especially if you are good at wrapping gifts!
Working as a gift wrapper during the holiday season is a great way to make extra money. Many stores hire seasonal gift wrappers to help shoppers. Your job would be to wrap presents quickly and nicely.
Gift wrappers usually earn between $14 and $24 an hour, which can help with your holiday budget. One of the best parts is that you don’t need any experience. Many employers will train you on the job to improve your wrapping skills.
You can check out local malls or stores for seasonal jobs. These opportunities are often advertised at larger shopping centers.
If you love the outdoors and adventure, becoming a raft guide could be an exciting and rewarding seasonal job. As a raft guide, you’ll guide customers through the river.
This is an outdoors job that typically happens during the summer and fall, so it is a seasonal job that could be a lot of fun in places like Colorado, California, Utah, Oregon, and West Virginia.
You can find seasonal raft guide jobs by contacting raft companies in popular locations to check for job postings. You can also use social media to join groups and follow pages about outdoor jobs, and networking with current and former guides can give you valuable job leads.
If you want a job that fits around your life and only lasts for a short time, becoming a retail sales associate might be perfect for you. Many stores hire retail associates for seasonal work. This could also be for full-time or part-time jobs.
As a retail sales associate, your job would be to provide customer service and keep the store running smoothly, such as by checking out customers at the cash register.
There are many stores that hire for seasonal cashier jobs, such as Target, Best Buy, Walmart, Home Depot, Michaels, and more.
Plus, you can typically get a discount when working at a store too! I used to work as a retail sales associate and while customer service can be hard, I also made some great friends and had a good time.
If you enjoy being outdoors and want to make good money during the warmer months, you can become a landscaping worker. These jobs usually come up in the spring and summer when grass, trees, and flowers grow quickly.
Taking care of lawns is a big part of the job, such as mowing grass, trimming edges, and using fertilizers or pesticides to keep lawns looking nice.
Landscaping jobs usually pay between $15 and $25 per hour, and this can vary based on where you work and how much experience you have.
Running a fireworks stand can be a great way to make extra money, especially during busy times like the Fourth of July.
When I was younger, I had many friends who had summer jobs working at fireworks stands, and while the work was hard (long days in the heat!), they did seem to like it.
Your job at the fireworks stand is important but simple. You’ll sell fireworks to customers, keep the stand looking nice, and handle transactions while keeping track of sales.
If you love snow and want to share that love with others, becoming a ski instructor could be a great winter job for you, as ski resorts are typically open from around November through April.
One thing that many people don’t realize is that you don’t need to be an Olympic skier to become a ski instructor – this is something that you can learn how to teach. I’m not saying that it isn’t hard, though, as this is still hard work!
Ski instructors teach people how to ski and they work outside on the slopes, spending their days teaching beginners and helping more experienced skiers get better.
Your pay as a ski instructor depends on where you work and how much experience you have. New instructors might start at around $18 to $25 an hour. Certified instructors can earn more, sometimes up to $50 an hour or more.
You can look for ski instructor jobs by checking the websites of ski resorts, where they often post job openings. You can also attend outdoor job fairs, especially those focused on winter sports, to meet ski resort representatives and learn about job openings. Plus, networking with current and former ski instructors through social media, forums, and industry events can also be helpful.
If you’re good with numbers and like helping others, being a tax preparer could be a good seasonal job for you during tax season!
Tax preparers help people complete their tax forms. Many companies need extra help from January to April, during the tax filing season.
You don’t have to go to formal school to become a tax preparer, but having the right education and training can help. Many tax preparers start by taking courses or getting certifications in tax preparation from community colleges, trade schools, or online platforms.
Sometimes, this can be remote work too. I actually have my tax return filed remotely each year and have never met my accountant in person, so I personally know that this is real!
If you want to earn some extra money, seasonal bartender jobs could be perfect for you. These jobs are really popular during the summer and holidays when there are lots of parties and events happening.
Becoming a bartender usually involves a mix of hands-on experience and knowledge. While formal training like bartending courses can help, many bartenders start by working entry-level jobs like barbacks or servers. This lets them learn important skills like making drinks, handling money, and talking to customers.
A job as a lifeguard could be your perfect pick for a summer job. This is one of the top seasonal jobs for teenagers and young adults in the summer.
Lifeguards are really important for keeping swimmers safe at pools or beaches. They watch swimmers carefully to stop accidents and help quickly if someone’s in trouble. Lifeguards are trained to save lives, helping right away and doing rescue techniques if needed. They also know how to give first aid to people who get hurt while swimming.
Lifeguard jobs can pay well, with some jobs paying around $20 per hour as employees for pools and beaches.
If you want to earn extra cash, especially during the holidays, you might want to check out job opportunities with 1-800-Flowers. This well-known company sells flowers and gift baskets.
At 1-800-Flowers, there’s a big need for extra people during busy times like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Mother’s Day. You can find seasonal job roles such as:
A fly-fishing guide can be a year-round job or seasonal, depending on how you approach it.
I know some fly-fishing guides who are guides year-round, where they live in one place (such as in Florida or the Bahamas), and some who travel for 6 months to one fly-fishing area and then spend 6 months in another area. I also know some fly-fishing guides who only guide during the summer months, such as up in Alaska (and they do a different line of work the rest of the year).
So, there are many ways to make this job work for you!
Fly-fishing guides teach people how to fly-fish, share tips on fishing tactics, help with fishing gear, and more.
A sports referee can be a seasonal job, and you can choose the sport you want to ref (typically, you’d pick the one you know best or know a lot about). This could be sports like soccer, baseball, and football.
You can find jobs by checking with local recreation centers or job listings in your area.
Referees typically make around $20 to $50 per hour.
Some parking lots are open year-round, and others are open only during big events, such as for summer concerts or a sporting event.
Parking lot attendants help cars find spots, take payments, and handle issues.
WWOOF stands for Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms. It connects people with organic farms all over the world.
With WWOOF, volunteers can pick a place and country to visit and work on a farm. You can stay for a few days or several months, based on what you and the farm agree on.
In exchange for food and a place to stay, you need to work 4 to 6 hours a day on the farm.
So, WWOOFers do not get paid actual cash, but I did still want to mention this in this article because I know that many people are looking for seasonal jobs with housing.
You might be asked to cut wood, pack items, feed animals, make food, plant seeds, make compost, help with the garden, and do other helpful tasks for the farmer.

Below are answers to common questions about how to find seasonal jobs.
The seasonal jobs that pay the most include working as a helper (at UPS), tour guide, raft guide, fly-fishing guide, ski instructor, and bartender. Also, any job where you can get paid in tips tends to pay high.
Seasonal jobs that may include housing include working as a campground worker (such as at a national park or RV park), a camp counselor, and a WWOOFer. Also, certain seasonal gigs like fly-fishing or raft guiding may come with housing as well, such as in places where housing is hard to come by or is very expensive.
The best seasonal jobs for college students include retail sales associate, camp counselor, and parking lot attendant.
The best seasonal jobs in the winter include a driver helper for UPS, working on a Christmas tree farm, and becoming a gift wrapper.
I hope you enjoyed this article on the best seasonal jobs.
Many seasonal jobs not only pay you but also give you unique experiences. You could be a camp counselor and spend time outside with kids, or work as a ski instructor and ski every day. If you’d rather work inside, you could be a sales associate in a store or wrap gifts during the holidays. Other jobs, like tax preparer or fireworks stand operator, are available at certain times of the year and can pay well too.
As you can see, there are many different seasonal jobs that may fit what you’re looking for.
What do you think are the best seasonal jobs?

I like how user-friendly the site is, and there are always a bunch of pet owners searching for dog walkers, which means there’s plenty of demand. There are also other great sites out there, depending on what you’re interested in!
My sister and my mother-in-law are both pet sitters, and they really enjoy it!
Flipping items for a profit is a way to make an extra $50 a day. Flipping means you buy something at a lower price and sell it for more. And, you can start by selling stuff that you already have!
I have sold a lot of things online over the years, from clothing to furniture and even old tires.
You might have clothes you don’t wear, an old phone, books, unused gift cards, CDs, DVDs, kitchen items, jewelry, and more to sell. The possibilities are endless. I’ve heard that the typical household has about 300,000 things, so I bet you could look around your home and find some items to sell pretty easily.
And, if you want to learn how to make $50 in 10 minutes (or any other short amount of time), then selling something you already have is usually one of the quickest options.
You can sell on many different sites and online platforms as well, such as eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and more.
I recommend watching the free webinar Turn Your Passion For Visiting Thrift Stores, Yard Sales & Flea Markets Into A Profitable Reselling Business In As Little As 14 Days to learn how to make money by flipping items.
This free workshop will teach you how to get into the flipping business. It will teach you how to resell furniture, electronics, appliances, and anything else you can find.
Earning $50 a day can be as fun as playing games on your computer or phone and being able to make money online.

Here’s a quick list of the top game apps that pay real cash:

As a tutor, you might spend 30 minutes to an hour teaching a lesson, answering questions online, or doing one-on-one video sessions with students.
The amount of money you can make depends on factors like the subject you’re tutoring, the length of the session, and more. For instance, tutoring in advanced subjects like college calculus usually pays more than tutoring in elementary school math.

Affiliate marketing lets you make money by promoting products or services online, and you don’t need anything special to begin.
With affiliate marketing, when someone you refer buys a product through your special link, you earn a commission. It’s as straightforward as that.
First, choose products you genuinely like and think others will enjoy too. Next, join their affiliate program. They’ll give you a unique affiliate link. This link keeps track of who clicks on it and makes a purchase based on your recommendation.
For me, I love affiliate marketing. I think it’s one of the best ways to make at least $50 a day, and it is what I do to make money with my online business.

If you have an extra room in your home, renting it out could be a smart way to earn some additional cash.
Having a roommate, whether it’s someone living with you full-time or occasionally renting out a spare room on Airbnb, can help you earn extra cash every month.
It might not add up to $50 every day, but by having a roommate or renting out a spare room on Airbnb, you could make several hundred dollars a month, or even over $1,000 extra each month.
Some people take it even further by purchasing a large house with multiple bedrooms and renting out every single room (also known as house hacking). This way, you might have three or four renters living with you. This arrangement could cover your entire mortgage payment and maybe even leave you with some extra spending money on top of what you earn from having roommates.
Over the years, I’ve had many roommates. When I owned a home, I often rented out one or even two spare bedrooms to long-term renters, including a friend and my sister, to earn extra money. This helped us manage our monthly expenses better, reducing financial stress. We could earn around $300 to $400 per month for each bedroom. Although living with roommates isn’t always smooth sailing (arguments can happen), setting clear ground rules and having a contract can help prevent conflicts.
If you have an RV just sitting around, you might be able to earn $50 to $300 a day, or even more, by renting it out.
Many people have RVs that they don’t use very often. Instead of letting it sit there, you could earn extra cash by renting it out. Indeed, you might be able to make $100 a day or more by renting out your RV to others.
RVshare is helping travelers save money by cutting out the middleman through renting RVs directly from owners.
It’s like Airbnb, but for RVs.
