So happy when people can make the transition into decent paying, clean work like this. Yeah we all bitch about it, but if you've ever done real hard and dirty work, you know it's actually pretty great to sit and deal with IT problems all day long. Good luck to you.

I'm in the Deep South, I bet by end of week I see a place charging "Fuck China" surcharges.

I did turn off my Amazon renewal for next month, I don't really care if it makes a difference in their bottom line, but my money doesn't support this shit if I can help it.

Seems dangerous, it's a breach of the ToS I assume so they're opening up to possible liability if Reddit got pissy. I'm actually surprised this kind of research gets IRB and other approval given you're violating ToS unless given a variance from it (I used to conduct research on social networks and had to get preapproved accounts for the purpose, and the data I was given was carefully limited.)

Usually wise to avoid trusting the people you see in mirrors as well, never know what they're doing when you're not around.

Money addicts will risk their half trillion dollar fortune trying to save a small fraction of it

This really feels like Reddit in the first couple years. It went to shit so gradually I didn't even notice although I can remember big events. I remember when "downvote ≠ disagree" and the place felt nicer.

Yeah nowadays Reddit has not just every sub, but every meme version of a sub, and that's neat, but at what cost? I don't like being on it, and I've been um, banned an awful lot of times lately. Not really worth it. So I will have to try to build the top few communities I am missing here, like centuryhomes.

He said at one point he'd never stop on his own accord and I think we see that playing out.

Orrr force them to continue doing nothing for forever as previously scheduled before public outrage. Now they can throw their hands up and act like they tried.

Or lay them all out diagonally and use the Pythagorean theorum

Yep my dog needs 1+ mile in the morning and at least 2 miles in the afternoon for optimal health - bowels, muscles, etc. He's 7 now and acts like a dog half his age.

Then some of my friends are like "I try to take mine around the block at least once a week" and I am sad for their poor dog.

Hard to find good dogsitters who will actually take them on long walks too.
