Is it not the ultimate goal of all human labor to progress past the need for certain menial jobs? It seems to just be the natural progression of technological advancement, not the …

I wouldn't say they're very rare. Go to literally any town in Wisconsin that's not Madison or Milwaukee and you will find an environment very similar to GP's description of Ireland…

Move to the Southwest. I moved to northern New Mexico and I love it. Nobody to bother me and miles of space for whatever I need to do. Gets hot though.

Weird, my chemistry teacher was the exact opposite. He didn't even have a degree in chemistry, it was in physics. He hated teaching that class but loved us as students so we did ba…

Based off the C-suites I've encountered in my life, that is the last thing that will happen.

If they're concerned with the amount they lose to 3PAs, paying their moderators is a complete non-starter. The whole point of this is to increase revenue for the upcoming IPO.

This strip had a profound effect on my life after I read it for the first time. To this day it still means a lot to me. Thank you for sharing your story and to your brother for sha…

It's changed so much in such a short time since the acquisition. The quality of responses that are boosted to the top are so poor that I frequently wonder just how those people get…

I think something that would incentivize those longer-form interactions would be to remove the upvote/downvote system and replace it with something similar to what SA had back in t…

Yes, but the third party apps don't allow Reddit to take in heaps of tracking data or run ads every 3 posts, so for the company's purpose they're useless

They're not removing the information for good, rather requiring one to go to a different site to find it. Seems like a sensible method of dissent.

It may just be a natural internet behavior to suppress that which you disagree with.

>i.e., I work at a toxic company with toxic management. >Because those same people were speaking up regularly during in-person meetings and weren't being judged there. Since there'…

I think it's generally better to take the short-term productivity hit to train the new hire than it is to leave them to the wolves for your own work. Two heads are better than one …

It'd be tough. Private websites are not required to comply to the ADA to the same extent as government domains or public-facing businesses. Maybe a case could be raised after their…

If someone makes a new usenet I can die happy. Honestly hoping for reddit to crumble, I'd have a lot more time each day to spend on useful things
