I’ve had a reoccurring dream since childhood about our universe being a B+ assignment in an extraterrestrial middle school classroom and that in effect I’m a npc in that effort. Whenever this subject comes up I’m always a bit interested but

I don’t think a 4-5 hour reduction in “work time” would have any effect on my productivity, whereas a 3 day weekend would make me more motivated. I don’t understand why this isn’t the norm

Intersectionality is just viewing all struggles commonality. You can focus on whatever you want and center it with regard to everything else that’s wrong. For me, that’s been a very hopeful concept because you obviously can’t do a million t

I made a comment about my experience, I don’t think it’s possible to do that without making it about myself. What the op said resonated with me and I just wanted to let them know another man was feeling the same way and hoping that it would

I’m primarily a front and developer and I wish that was the way I went. When I work in even basic back end code now I feel unprepared. I highly doubt I’ll ever write assembly code and if someone was to ask me to I would essentially face pla

Most recently, bombing the offices of multiple news outlets during a conflict comes to mind. But what made me change my mind was actively seeking out Palestinians to talk to one on one after a close friend told me I was racist. This isn’t p

I’m in your exact same shoes and it hurts so damn bad. I honestly don’t trust the majority of the people I considered friends before the pandemic because of it. It became glaringly obvious what the future was going to be in those relationsh

As an American Jew who grew up with a distorted and racist world view in regard to Palestine this just feels like history repeating itself. The troubles that face Israelis have always been amplified over those of Palestinians in my experien

The article mentions a higher level of trust in local news. My local news in Detroit is very matter of fact, here’s an event that happened, here’s visual proof, and with a few exemptions free of opinion. National news, in my experience, is

For me, it was accepting that my job isn’t my whole identity and finding a place to work that valued work/life balance and actually has a culture of not overworking. On the personal side, going to therapy, actively removing stressful a

I had several friends go through the “Utah programs” back in the aughts and they were abused so badly. It still pisses me off. Paris Hilton did a great job with her documentary, her experience was so similar to the people I knew.

If I were in your shoes, I would AB test phrasing it like this and then also as the op said in a more serious tone. Do it on some jobs that you wouldn’t be devastated if they don’t reply and see where your (I hate myself for saying this) br

I quit smoking when I got COVID because it was the first time I was too sick to smoke. I’ve tried to smoke since and it just tastes awful. I know this might be crude to say but I’m thankful for having had the virus
