And then he says: Wait you don’t work here. Who are you?

BETTER. YET.

You hypothetically showed them.

Maybe a subreddit blackout

Ideally, yes.

Let people be stupid. Don’t share the link openly… fm0vi35 is already too good to be true. If people start canceling subscriptions for it, it will be a target to take down.

I’m pretty sure it is hard

Telling someone to change jobs and avoid dating is not the same thing as saying he delayed gratification. The ladder is just a quality of growing away from your childhood.

My question was rhetorical. You still tried to answer my question by making up context just like your posts about OP. This is what I’m saying is pointless. There are more important things in life than retaining your childhood such as providing for yourself and others. I would guess in most cases, growing away from your childhood is done out of necessity. It’s a sacrifice of time people choose because of the consequences of the alternative but you say OP should have made different decisions to prioritize their childhood? Your criticisms are only valid for someone who sacrifices needlessly which doesn’t seem like a common thing.

OP looking back and yearning for their childhood does not mean they did anything wrong in their life path. Growing away from your childhood is very common.

You have no idea if OP is proud of their path and is casually reminiscing or if they believe they should have done something different.

All of your wikihow tier advice is a weirdly specific to a life that we know nothing about. OP has discipline to continually make the same decision to stay on their path instead of getting distracted by selfish instant gratification.

There’s nothing wrong with doing what’s expected of you. At any time I can give up my career and coast at the expense of my stability but I never choose that option. That doesn’t mean I’m not making the decision to continue to work.

If you have an option to keep my free time and financial stability then I’m listening.

Because they made the right choice for the goals they set out to reach. The lack of agency is just a playful way of writing.

When im desperate for information and all I’m getting are ai generated article results, I will still resort to appending to reddit to my Google searches but otherwise I’ve deleted everything on reddit and keep up with major current events and bad memes here on lemmy. It really could be a better experience but it’s better than… well… endorsing reddits decisions.

I was curious about this kind of idea. Isn’t all reddit content owned by reddit, and isnt pasting their intellectual property onto a different platform not really super legal? (I fully support it)

Being able to extract all of the question/answer threads on reddit to boost the value of lemmy from a search index perspective seemed too good to be true as a solution.

Exactly lol.

You think you are heard when you do this? Is there any gain for anyone at all?

It’s like blaming an ethernet cable for giving your computer a virus.

The designer of the virus is the asshole, and you would be the idiot who went to the website.

You are right that mental pain is an exaggeration, but it’s the accumulation of insufferable interactions that make you hate retail. When 25% of people expect you to act for them, you feel like a puppet. YES the business demands this, but the customer invokes it. So don’t invoke it and let workers sigh relief when you decide not to try to “test” their company response. Is this really that complicated?

They must start the topic to have the job. They likely already know. They likely don’t care. Your game forces them to pretend to care. You are holding them hostage because their genuine reaction would be to ignore you but they can’t do that while working. You are causing them mental pain. You are forcing them to be something they aren’t until you leave.

As if the cashier is trying to engage in a discussion of class. As if they aren’t paid to ask. Just say no and feel secure with your own reasons without having to justify yourself. It’s like when I worked at ace hardware in high school and every boomer would need to tell me how dumb it is to phase out incandescent light bulbs. Trying to preach to someone about your convictions against their will is so pointless and annoying.

Yeah it’s hard to replace reddit and lemmy is by far the best. Just needs time to mature.
