Reddit wasn’t a primary source at one point, it’s going to take time. Also, brave pulls top replies to questions, so you don’t have to go to reddit itself(though that might use API.

Uuuuuuuuuu, that’s genius, you could brick any website like that that you want to stop using. I’m going to post this in a productivity community without crediting you! (I’m not going to do that, do you want credit?)

Took me a good two weeks(I deleted my account a day before the blackout after I recorded all the saved stuff on my account), but I finally stopped typing it absent mindedly.

Yes, you know how people who don’t know what they’re doing routinely start super successful car companies and massively successful space exploration companies that launch more mass to space than the rest of the world combined, any chump can do that, trillion dollar car companies grow on fucking trees!

Elon haters are fucking pathetic.

Eh, not likely, especially for dinosaurs that we have full skeletons of, because that much fat would be seen on the bones as damage from walking.

Because if fuel/milk/meat doubled or tripled in price, and the average member of the developed world would riot, and the guys in charge like being in charge. To the terminally online people, you are not the average. Just because you have a diet that gurgles gonads, or don’t have to drive a lot for your work, doesn’t mean the rest also don’t have to.

Well that’s wonderful and all, but doesn’t really disprove my point, we were talking about specific jobs that people were doing prior to the pandemic, not the job you wish it was. If the job was meaningful and fulfilling, you wouldn’t mind doing it in the office.

Nah, be honest with yourself, that’s not the reason.

1. The simple reality is that most people aren’t self-motivated enough to maintain the level of productivity at home that they maintain in the office.
2. Communication is more difficult.
3. Keeping an eye on your employees is easier when they’re literally within eyesight.
4. Training is easier when you have another person close by who can lead you through it.

It’s likely that, in the long-term, we’ll end up with a hybrid system, where those that prove themselves responsible enough to WFH, will get to WFH, while the rest will be back in offices, which is the exact same thing we had prior to Covid.

The companies I worked for let me WFH every day(aside from one weekly meeting) for years before Covid, but I routinely did 3x the work of other people, even as a junior developer.

The problem isn’t with the companies, the problem is human nature, we don’t want to work, so we use every opportunity to wiggle out of it, on average, at least.

…that is a profoundly stupid way to look at it, you cannot exist without hurting something or someone, your mere existence causes pain to some people, and they’d much rather you stop existing, are you going to oblige them too? To define pain and suffering as unacceptable in all forms is to deny reality.

That sounds like you’re paying to have ads in your own home.

…what does the display show even?

You joke, but there have been cases of steakhouses and butcher shops having troubles with protestors. It’s not an everyday thing, but we are talking about a small, crazy portion of an already fringe group.
