Damn that’s a lot more than I would think is needed. I think Craigslist had/has like 50 people so I figured you can still keep a business chugging along without a ton of staff.

I think that modern work is something done to us, as a form of violence. We’re told to go here, do this, and in return we get just enough to get by. Humans are definitely not lazy, but we do have a problem with slavery.

That seems like a lot to me considering the app could be put together by just a few people.

I keep making the mistake of commenting on things that I have no desire to dig into. Apologies if I was rude. It really is an interesting area if you find yourself curious about it one day.

That’s the goal. But I can’t reject the fact that I need to work. It’s gotta happen. And I also don’t want to be depressed all the time. My comment is kind of about learning how to keep doing what I need to do without being sad and or angry about it all the time.

I’ve always been envious of those people who grew up knowing what they wanted to do with their lives and then they did it. It seems like what we want is incongruent with what is available. It’s like they were born into something that was designed for them, but I think at least part of it is parenting and education. Doesn’t help that our world is kind of fucked up though. Hard to close my eyes to that and be excited about choosing a career. That and* we’re kind of serfs.

How I see this problem is that we aren’t given to tools to help us decide how we want to live our lives. Work sucks and is a waste of time. Contributing to society is valuable and something I want to do.

You’ll have to go and learn to find out! Can’t do any harm.

This book is excellent https://www.amazon.ca/Canadian-Regime-Introduction-Parliamentary-Government/dp/1487525370/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2YHH09AXAW3HG&keywords=canadian+regime&qid=1693850943&sprefix=canadian+regim%2Caps%2C259&sr=8-1

I’d say just smaller, less scripted content. Maybe that’s what tiktok is.

Damn 19C! My apartment is 24 right now and it feels cozy. When I bake it gets to 27. Without heat in the winter it hovers around 16 inside.

I’d consider going somewhere with more extreme day/night cycles like the Northwest territories, but within Canada I’m basically happy where I am. I like the super long days in the summer and I’m also ok living in the dark most of the winter as long as I can stay active.

Work shouldn’t be the primary source of stress in our lives no matter what the job is.

I’m ready for that. When being a youtuber started looking like a job I think the site lost something.

This came up on reddit and one of the members suggested adding the following filter. I don’t know if it works but may as well. (ublock > settings > my filters)

youtube.com,youtubekids.com,youtube-nocookie.com##+js(json-prune, playerResponse.adPlacements playerResponse.playerAds playerResponse.adSlots adPlacements playerAds adSlots, adPlacements.[].adPlacementRenderer.renderer.instreamVideoAdRenderer)

No. The universe just is a thing that exists.

I’d say that’s part of the reason I still go back to reddit. It’s so easy to pull up any community and be signed in. With lemmy it’s a hassle.

The instance I’m on (eg smaller ones) doesn’t defederate. I see everything. lemmy.ml, beehaw, lemmynsfw. .world isn’t a great instance to home account on. They’ve already blocked like 30 instances https://lemmy.world/instances

How is this line up with ‘liberty’? The US gov can’t stop intruding into the private sphere.

I think they do care about kids but it’s a dumb argument to take. Kids are helpless, everything can hurt them. Unless it’s something legal that is specifically causing kids harm and can be regulated, like guns, then bringing kids into the debate is just going for easy points.

If you learn more about political science you’ll find that there is more nuance, it’s not so simple as all or nothing.

Social media or IRL?
