An idea i had that i imagine would turn out pretty well is Japanese speaking forums for westerners specifically. It’d have a buy in that no one interested in only trolling would go in for (learning a language, especially one far from English).
Some pirate coves protect themselves by requiring an invite from someone already in the community, that could work really well too.
Generally, just requiring a little work to get someplace would make communities a lot nicer.
My cat claimed a big box i had sat beside my bed while i was putting together the chair that came in it, now i don’t think I’ll be and to toss it this month. She prefers that box with a blanket thrown over it to any bed I’ve ever gotten her.
Well that’s another scary thing for the ever growing pile.
Anyone who well and truly enjoys their job has severe mental issues that need to be worked out. Why would someone give effort towards something that won’t ultimately reward them? It’s not their project, it’s not their company, it’s not their passion.
Even the gangs are more honest
Man, the death of fireflies is the death of wonder. They were one of the few actual joys of growing up in the countryside.
Man hearing the story unfold live on the radio with basically noting else to do and nowhere to go has been an experience. They were trying to anyone who could to bring them some propane to keep their generators running, i hope they got some.
I think that’s what most as execs want, sadly
You’d think this would drive away what mods are left, i imagine they are mostly there for the illusion of power they get at this point and this will be a step towards removing that.
But then, the entire corporatization should be enough to drive people away on it’s own but it doesn’t seem to be.
That’s clearly a thallion of the shadow court
Fuck i wish, I’m sitting in my car at three a.m. hoping my battery is good while i charge my phone after Grandma killed her battery doing the same thing.
Sounds like they’d be a better fit for the Cult of Dionysus
Wait, but… It’s California? They don’t even do grow ops in la, they do it less than a day’s ride up the coast? You know, the biggest weed producers in the country? Hombolt?
A gang would get rid of anyone that incompetent.
Resigned? Be should have been fired. At.
No offense, but that does ring hollow for those of us raised to be horrid that didn’t drink that poison down.
I never accused them of being competent. They’re getting into a death spiral, but there still isn’t a very good and well known alternative to leech the disgruntled customer base.
I personally would read this as a sign that more people are turning to ad blocking or straight up leaving. Not enough money coming in so they have to jack prices up way faster than they’d likely do otherwise.
In spaces that are both liberal and political (or adjacent to politics) I’d say he’s correct, but generally I’d say a cult of toxic positivity would be a bit more broadly applicable.
