The obvious ones like cats, linux, and star trek but also meta-posts like these, comics, non-political memes, greentext, bikes, general technology. There are collapsniks and conservatives have been trying to settle recently. There's a wide variety of niche content but they are small enough that for every 10 visitors you need someone to post something. There's a lot here, it's small compared to extremely large sites but is still an active message board.
About 20 and growing. I also do it for my mental health. Social media isn't a place I want to take too seriously so my blocks are about avoiding people who seem agitated or seeking to create or participate in conflict with other members.
I'm thinking about clearing out my blocks every year just to get a sense of the land again, maybe when I'm feeling better I'll do that.
140 in 2 months sounds like a lot to me. Are you not blocking communities? That might be more efficient?
I tried to watch part 1 again tonight and I'm putting it down with about an hour left. 4k on a theatre screen with headphones and popcorn and I laughed out loud when Jessica and Paul were whispering to each other 20' away in the mist, when the gang strode off the ship accompanied by bagpipes ("shields up!") and that one time the Sardukar shouted "Sardukar" during the invasion. I'm done trying to understand what some people see in these movies. Absolute garbage as far as I can tell.
The trap where the thing you're saying is totally valid and accurate but it's not the thing to be talking about. I don't know where this thinking comes from or what it's called, but I notice it within conservative groups (probably because I'm critical by default of those ideas). It reminds me of BLM protests and how Ben Shapiro was talking about damage to property and business owners when the actual issue and discussion to be had is entirely different. It just serves to support the problematic behaviour that people are trying to change.
So yes, there was a surge in demand and they over-hired and letting people go is the right choice, but the whole situation is fucked and the optics of this kind of raise is dogshit.
Our CEO announced layoffs recently and then even more recently sent a follow up email complaining about how people were complaining about it and saying how hard it has been for the executive team. We're a small company and I get the pain they are feeling due to financial constraints but at the end of the day we work for money and they are taking home 3-4x as much as anyone else each month while making all the decisions about how money is spent. It's hard not to become resentful.
Not really I'm more just presenting an alternate explanation. Don't mistake me for holding strongly to this opinion, but I do feel like calling OP out as a narcissist or whatever is an unfair snap judgment. People can be different and that doesn't make them bad most of the time.
Yes I think that is the draw. I posted this question because I recently got a VR headset and went to youtube to bask in it, get recommendations. I felt bombarded by hustle culture and youtubers trying to rope me into their career progression. Title card, into, 'what's up guys', 8-12 minutes (except that guy asking us to put on his 8 hour video before we go to sleep), perfect audio, expensive studio background with merch, grinning/surprise/red arrow thumbnails, 'only 5% of you watching subscribe'. Ahh. It's just too much sometimes.
