By old ways, do you mean in-person interviews and work?

Because I won’t lie, I do find it easier to collaborate, focus, and communicate with my coworkers in-person, as opposed to the days I work remotely (I do a combination of in-person and work-from-home). And while I think it’s unfair to be denied a job for not being sociable enough (I’m very much in the same boat), the overall idea of wanting employees who communicate with and get along with their coworkers better isn’t inherently wrong.

Since I’m a vegetarian, a common question I’ve been asked since I was a kid was “If you were trapped on an island and the only food was meat, would you eat it?”

Or something to that effect. It’s been asked dozens of times to me before and every time it’s asked, the person asking acts like it’s some novel thought experiment I haven’t considered before.

Not only is a situation like that extremely unlikely to ever happen, but if it does, the answer isn’t any more complicated than a yes/no

Another question I hate are all of those “Would you do for X sum of money? No? Then what if we upped the money? What’s the minimum sum you’d do it for?”

The most common example of “repulsive thing” is usually incest. And it’s just an annoying question that isn’t even entertaining to answer.

On the contrary, I find it to be pretty honest about the article’s contents. Clickbait implies it misrepresents the content behind it, or adds noise to it that exaggerates what the content entails.

The article itself is persuasive in nature and quite literally is intended to convince the reader to adopt some new product or service- in this case, Nobara. The author is of the opinion that the reader will benefit by switching over. The title reflects that.

“look at me, I’m using this and that and you must use it as well because everyone does and you’re missing out”

It doesn’t say you “must” use some alternative. Necessity isn’t implied anywhere in the title. And the fomo? Nowhere does it say everyone is using Nobara and you should adopt it so you don’t miss out. The article lists and elaborates on the arguments Nathan makes, which aren’t just an appeal to majority, and the title reflects that.

If you’re going to throw a fit over a title of an article be honest about how persuasive the content is and what the actual article is about, then that’s just childish.

Having studied history of world leaders as a bit of a hobby, I’m more biased in that regard

But I’d go with Lester Pearson

Been listening to more of them recently, and songs like Dark Necessities have been stuck in my head lmao

Coldplay is among my favorite bands, absolutely agree there

A lot of people criticize the direction they’ve taken recently, and while I don’t keep up with their newest releases, Viva la Vida is still one of my favorite songs. And other tracks like Paradise, Sky Full of Stars, etc. will always be fun for me to listen to as well

Going through the Red Rising series, which some of my friends praise immensely. Lightbringer just came out, though I’m only just finished Morning Star, book 3/6 in the series. Going to be starting Iron Gold soon. But until them, I’m reading 1984, which I just acquired a nice hardcover copy of.

And even with the apps, you’re still able to pay for premium versions, like Reddit Premium for instance Could be that despite the app costing 0 euros up front, it can’t be labelled truly free because micro-transactions exist

I wish people would be more mature about their reaction to this, as well as other people’s reactions, regardless of whether they agree or disagree with the choice.

I’m not opposed to piracy, though I understand the risks that come with a platform allowing potentially pirated content. While I respect the decision and see the reasoning behind it, I don’t agree with it, and will likely change my home instance to one that allows me to continue communicating with those communities, as I was subscribed to one of them.

I’ll still be participating in communities hosted here, and I hope that with this decision, the admins’ concern about being potentially sued is substantially alleviated.

Hah, this is just so pathetic to read.

I don’t use the term “terminally online” often, but this is exactly the time to use it. Imagine being this desperate to cling onto your power over an internet forum, not even for the sake of the community, but for the ego-driven lust for wanting control over others on something as menial as Reddit.

Must be a shock to realize all this was in his head, and he was basically just a pawn to spez and everyone else at the top.
