Do they at least microwave the beers for you?

1,000 steps but only about 50 feet, huh?

Has some real “of COURSE I’m anti-union” vibes.

Ask the wrong person to share a whiskey with you and you might end up with two fingers.

Ditto that.

And the frustration that comes of that isn’t so much “I didn’t get to make a point, for which I lost the opportunity to receive credit” but more “I didn’t get to engage with the discussion in realtime without having a sense for how others would react, appreciate, or challenge my views”. Reading things afterward has that line of discussion set in stone in a way that’s unlike being a participant.

Sure, but there’s a distinction between maintenance and profit.

If that requires a maximum ratio of active users to average donation, then it’s feasible, and has the potential to survive with a more invested userbase than a site that’s severely bloated with lurkers.

“Older” “30 years or more”

HEY

For those of you who are multilingual from birth, do you have a preference?

Yeah, the best social networks are designed to prioritize…socializing. It’s like building a public park and people start asking where the money comes from. The point is that it’s made for people to use.

I can’t speak to what the original poster was imagining, but one option is years of life lost as compared to the average in that country. So if a sweatshop worker lives an average of 64 years of that country’s 68, that’s 4 years of life lost.

I get that, I had that bad habit in Reddit, too, usually because there were already 40 people picking apart things in the comments section.

But there’s a value to doing it yourself, and leaving it to other people can make that part of you that engages in mental analysis flabby. In this day and age, we often need far MORE critical analysis and primary sources than we’re getting!

That, and oftentimes bad actors scoop up the funny and wrong posts because they know that a joke that implies their opponents are idiots will land better than just a rant, so you have to be careful about not adding fuel to the fire.

I agree that it’s an eyebrow raising title, though that might be the point. Still, you’d think journalists would realize at this point that titles can’t just be provocative in order to be catchy. :/

Oh I’m always in the All section. Still kinda wrapping my head around instances as a concept: mentally I think if it as a single room with a ton of cubicles.

I treat subscriptions more like bookmarks: communities that I want to come back to specifically, but I don’t just browse them. It’s more like going to a grocery store and being sure to get the staples but not ignoring the rest of the aisles. How else am I going to find a new interest or perspective worth keeping if I don’t look?
