YES… the way people talk to each other on Reddit is disheartening. I found that if I didn’t phrase things EXACTLY in the same tone/manner that was the general “reddit tone/manner” it was an argument and downvotes. If I had any opinion that was ever so slightly different from the popular opinion it wasn an argument and downvotes. It became impossible to have authentic conversations in many of the subs
Fine then I don’t have to pay taxes anymore.
Sales have fallen 59% in a year… Musk took over 9 months ago… weird coincidence.
I’m in my mid-40s and I didn’t go to college – I was one of the last generations where you didn’t HAVE HAVE HAVE to have an advanced degree to qualify for something like an admin assistant position.
I truly hope that the younger generations take this as an opportunity to stand up for themselves and stop feeding into the notion that everyone needs advanced degrees. It’s absurd. If no one has a degree, then they can’t demand that people have degrees. Degrees should be for engineers, doctors, people with advanced careers. Past that, it’s simply a money making scheme for colleges and a bullshit bill of goods that they’re selling to people who cant, and shouldn’t have to, pay for it.
Walking away and not looking back is actually very powerful.
I wish I could believe that anything he did would lose him his supporters but he was right. He could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single one. I wish I knew what power he held over them.
I mean seriously… We don’t have ANY better and more qualified candidates in our 331.9 million citizens? Really?
I’ve been 100% remote since 2017. I don’t even know if I could function in a traditional office again. Too many distractions
4 billionaires and one guys 19 year old kid.
I was a baconreader person too but I deleted it and moved 100% to beehaw when things started getting weird at that other place
As someone in the advertising industry - I felt overwhelmed by ads and served content. I want a place where my content isn’t driven by a corporation trying to manipulate my spending habits – or monetize my consumer habits… And I want a place where no one is trying to monetize my eyes and brain. That’s why I can’t support reddit. Yeah, I know, companies need money. But back in the olden days, people weren’t the product if that makes sense. Getting everyone on the same app/platform isn’t a mistake. Apps have all sorts of other purposes designed specifically to see what you’re up to, where you are, what else you do when you’re on your phone. Corporate apps watch you. Plain and simple. Getting people off of 3rd party apps and onto a reddit app, while increasing making their users the product, isn’t an accident or coincidence.
We have free transit in Albuquerque. It’s basically turned into a rolling homeless shelter. They hired security to manage it. My dad was one of those. He was attacked by someone using drugs on the bus and had the back of his hand bit off in a brutal attack. The busses here are VERY dangerous and I’d never step foot on one again.
