#2I immediately went to do this quiz, but then I couldn't help but wonder if this might be one of those Cambridge Analytica style "quizzes" where they're harvesting psychological data for unknown purposes. I'm not sure if this makes me sound savvy or insane.

My healthcare is 100% paid for and my work week is 40 hours 99% of the time.

I've never had an issue with any of those things. Maybe people should move away from the valley into the rest of the country where the jobs are more humane

I get the sentiment, but some perspective is in order. We're in the goddamn catbird seat. We make a shitload of money, we actually do have good health insurance, and we punch keyboards in a heated office at a desk. We're not mining coal or working in the fertilizer plant from The Jungle.
In this economy, if your work environment sucks, the door is open and there are greener pastures.
The biggest problem is really that so much of what we do is boring, and, in the greater scheme of things, pointless.

No personal information is asked, so the dataset will be pretty useless for monetization (you could just computationally generate a couple of thousand of responses and pretend it was the real deal).
uBlock Origin blocked one weird tracker-like third-party I didn't recognize: fullstory.com. The rest were the usual Google analytics crap.
