Eh, I use paid staff to maintain my website that's sorta like a subreddit + a database attached. Would I rather these people work for free? No-- because it's a lot of stressful bullshit doing this kinda stuff. Instead of working f

What's the point of chat rooms? Well... you see in the beginning there was only grunts and aggressive body language (kinda like how emojis are used today,) and then well, you know what just read the wiki https://en.wikipedia

Do you feel the same way about butchers, plumbers, janitors, cops and healthcare workers etc? Because those guys see worse. Almost every day too. Not that I am against paying your jannies, but come on, it's easy stuff compared to anyth

I've done a good bit of service plumbing work throughout NYC and the bumper sticker leftists are the worst of the worst. Give me a bedbug building instead.

I built https://kpopping.com , a platform for international fans of Korean music. It's been six grueling years (what they say about b2c is completely true) but these days we bounce around from $3k-5k in monthly revenue. I es

You are confusing happiness with something else. The problem of language dominates these conversations, and by not being careful you risk being refuted by Plato's Socrates 2500 years ago in the Meno among other things.
