Haha, I sleep in a hoodie and my wife is baffled by it, she’s a furnace and couldn’t possibly.

I really enjoy having that hood, feels like I’m strapping into sleep time.

Disagree! Sleeping with the windows cracked open in the winter is amazing.

They work in my town just outside a large metro area in the US.

That said, no one seems to actually use them here and are always crossing traffic at the worst times.

It’s really frustrating to watch people of every age playing chicken with cars daily.

Fwiw they’re just collecting a paycheck. Sure it’s scummy for them to not reject the businesses offering them the money but tbh I really don’t blame them - I’d probably take the cash too.

Depending on the channel size sponsored ad reads can deliver upwards of multiple thousand per video for the creator. If you see multiple channels with the same ads, it’s bc the company advertising got a big budget approved, that’s it.

Imo just skip the ad reads (or get sponsorblock) and forget they exist. Usually the creator doesn’t even give a fuck who’s paying them or why. They are victims of the system too, not maliciously peddling garbage. I do wish they didn’t have to peddle anything, but here we are.

I’m nearly at 7 with my employer and I’ve found the situation to be quite good and I see no sign yet to jump ship. There’s still good gigs out there.

I’m sure the person you are responding to had good reason to stick around 20 years. It’s possible only recently did the math not work out for them.

Yeah, I’m with you. The entitlement around media (games movies TV) is insane to me.

Your waiting for concessions reminds me of Martin Niemoller’s “First they came for”. You’re waiting for specific focus on your needs, but in the meantime by abstaining from the process you are enabling others suffering.

You sound politically self-centered. It’s fair to feel that way. But perhaps you should participate so that you can sway the process towards a side that is attempting the opposite of harm.

You could work to better the world you live in with the tools at your disposal (voting, for the lesser of two evils). If you don’t, then you only have yourself to blame when no one helps you.

I have a pair of wired ath m50x from 2008. They still work well and on the third set of pads.

Pretty sure folks are referring to streaming sites meaning like Netflix. The person you are responding to said “click and go” referring to services like YouTube and Hulu not sketchy “streaming” sites like what you are describing that require some hoops to go through to make sure.you don’t download a virus.

Could you pull the ladder up behind you any harder?

then I look at myself and wonder, who the hell is this?

Someone with passion for the world they live in! I have the same experience with the Merlin app after a friend suggested I download it last year. It’s so fun seeing real time identification of multiple birds at once

Not suggesting our system is correct or even good, but have you considered who a person counts as their most trusted advisors? Usually ones immediate family are very important to them and often helps guide their opinions on life.

So when it comes to the president or leader of a country, I think it’s actually a bit nice to see the family, because they will absolutely be involved somehow. Knowing if the family is stable or not in public appearances is fairly valuable to understanding the proposed leader.

So what, we should eat shit and die and suffer and not be excited about things that feel like small victories?

The pov you’re providing is bleak and grim. We aren’t dumb, we know we’re fucked and our election sucks. We can focus on multiple things at a time and we can laugh at our political idiots while also being mad at them.

Definitely try and finish the series first. The unofficial fourth is a direct continuation of some of the in-universe lore/happenings

They tried to stand impartial (my most generous interpretation of reddits in-action towards the donald) and it really fucked them.

It’s so weird how many platforms cater to harmful rhetoric in an effort to stay neutral only for them to later ban the community after the damage has been done.

If I were more conspiratorial I’d suggest the Donald survived for as long as it did on purpose and with the explicit support of the reddit admins/execs…

I’d suggest skipping it. While it’s a fun continuation, the writer is not nearly as good as Liu Cixin. It’s definitely a fanfic

For me it was when his videos turned into advertisements blatant for paying the bills. He moved to CA, lost the passion for yt (which I don’t blame him, life happens) but then the videos he would make were soulless adverts in his vlog style.

He seems to be “back” now doing videos with passion and vigor. I hope he’s having fun again

Fastmail supports aliases as well. I’m not sure how they are from a privacy side overall tho

I’m also the moderator of a community that Stamets has quit, so I know that losing him is a blow, because he posts a lot of content

Eh no worries, not really a loss when most of the posts were a deluge of low quality content. My feed instantly got better after that block…

Surprised you don’t take this sort of detail up to your skip level. Corporations are not entirely blind to issues in all cases. Actually, I bet you have raised these concerns. For all the folks nodding along, talk to your boss’ boss!! You owe it to yourself to try
