2.7 here in Canada.

Yoga with slow, gentle poses may help you wind down in the evening if that’s not something you’ve considered.

Again, why do you believe you get to narrow the scope of what news is to everyone else? You are welcome to create your own magazines that talk about exactly what you want and block the ones that aren’t what you want to engage with.

I’m thinking you should probably stop speaking on behalf of everyone. I am not American but I do care that millions of Americans are losing their rights. I care that US businesses got over a trillion in PPP loan forgiveness but that the same can’t be extended to 40 million individuals and their student loans for education they are almost forced to have if they want a shot at making more than minimum wage and even then, it’s not a guarantee.

I’m not a refugee but I care that the Greek government effectively let hundreds die rather than assist them.

I’m not French but I am interested in the riots happening there.

I’m not Russian, Ukrainian, or even European but I want to know what is happening with the occupation of Ukraine, the coup attempt, and what other countries are doing to ensure the Russia doesn’t violate NATO and the repercussions if they do.

Why do you believe you get to narrow the scope of what is news on behalf of everyone else?

I don’t think they’re being ridiculous to say that US politics has an impact outside of the US. To quote a former Canadian Prime Minister:

“Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.”

I’ve been pleased with The Verge’s ongoing coverage of this and really respect them calling out this poor behaviour.

Why are you posting about the Titan sub in a thread about a Reddit community of transcribers that will be closing?

You’d think if it was important to them they might try to teach their kids themselves. Or have we defaulted to we can only learn things in school already?

also loopy signatures that have 1 big letter with a scribble behind it

Why you gotta call me out like that? Haha. But seriously, I had a proper signature until I got a part time office job at 17 that required me to sign a lot of things (for packages, receipts, witness acknowledgement, etc) every day - that’s on top of initialing things. I worked there 5-6 days a week before doing that same job full time for a few years and
eventually continued part-time for a few more years when I was in another career. Anyway, the point was that it was a fairly busy job and the extra few seconds my full, proper signature I had developed wasn’t an option and I slowly morphed my signature into a bastard hybrid between initials and signature that has remained some 20 years later. Also, I ditched the loopy first letter.

I was expecting a “shut up, bird” or two in the Reddit comments but baby dick is a classic. Thanks for linking it!

I mean, those IASIP responses are pretty on brand but thanks for letting me know the community exists!

@swnt done and done. Thanks for following up!

That’s a great alternative to the scripts for your own content! Thanks for the suggestion!

If anyone is going to do this, it needs to be done in stages so it can’t be easily reverted back like we’re seeing with the one-shot comment delete scripts. Slowly dismantle the sidebar information and links, fuck up the automod and other bot settings. Tweak the CSS and flairs. If you’re going to go nuclear, make sure they can’t easily get it back.

I think we’re actually buying coffee and donuts for Ernest.

I’m only mobile for kbin at the moment so it doesn’t appear I can receive them (and setting my browser to desktop mode doesn’t change anything). But thank you so much for reaching out! I’ll try to get my hands on a non-work computer and check it out.

For what it’s worth, I’m only using kbin on mobile and a lack of app hasn’t been an issue for me. I say this having come from Reddit using Relay for a good 8+ years.

“Hey, here are some nice things you can work on - but we know, that work is simply part of life and needs balance.”

That sounds like a great approach to take!

I initially started the reduction, as I realised, that pro-actively speaking, I think that my current work “deserves” 24h of my week rather than full 40h. It’s just not so important for my life. And I’m happy to be able to proactively make this decision.

That’s a good mindset to practice! I’ll have to keep it in mind. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Edit: I did try to DM you but it keeps kicking me to my subscription page

That’s awesome that you approached them for the adjustment and they accepted! Did your pay scale as well or remain the same if that’s not impolite to ask?

I’m a project manager in software and it’s lovely to know there are good places out there still. Thanks so much for sharing your positive experience!

Mr. Huffman is stretching in a variety of directions here. Reddit is not a feudal government, or a city in any sense; neither is it ultimately “democratic,” as he frequently suggests. It’s an advertising and subscription-supported web service that also depends on free content and unpaid labor from its users. It is, substantially, in the same business as Meta, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok — giving people something to use mostly for free in exchange for their monetizable time and attention.

I really appreciated this callout in the article.
