Yeah I’m not sure either. He used to do science-y videos before I started watching and I think his political videos really caught the algorithm which changed what kind of content he made for sure.

Thanks for the plug! I’ll definitely check them out. I’ve been missing that kinda stuff since all the “Breadtube” people make 2 hour long videos with long breaks now haha

Pretty sure it was the "We need to talk about ‘Authoritarianism’ " video. I’d have to rewatch it to find what I found objectionable at the time lol

If it makes you feel any better, I was even later than you to stop watching. I didn’t know about any of that Nebula stuff and only found out when one of his videos was so insane I had to go see how other people felt about it.

Wow everything looks so well maintained! Guess that’s the difference when you look at taxes as doing your part for the good of everyone vs the “gubment stealin ur hard earnd cash” sentiment we have around here. Also it looks like things are just plain closer together too.

There are some nicer places a little bit southeast of where I live but they’re even further apart because the houses are bigger, the lots they are on are bigger and that makes the neighborhood larger which makes getting anywhere pretty much require a car. Not like I could afford living over there anyway haha

I wish we could ride bikes but here in the US there is absolutely no infrastructure for it. The closest Domino’s to me is 3 miles away. Riding a bike there would be extremely scary.

Even if you take Google’s specified bike route through the neighborhoods you still have to go out onto the main roads at some point. First main road speed limit is 30mph where people routinely go 40-45. Second main road is 35mph where people also go 40-45. And the final stretch of “stroad” speed limit is 45mph where people go 55-60mph.

Here you can use Google streetview and follow the route as if you were biking and see it yourself. https://maps.app.goo.gl/v4MnfPeZ9LuFzV8y6?g_st=ac (Don’t worry, I’m not doxxing myself)

US. Looking for a remote position mostly, though, so it shouldn’t matter too much.

LinkedIn and Indeed mostly. I also use Dice, ZIPrecruiter, and Glassdoor sparingly.

Sadly I’ve also been out of a job since January of last year. I can’t seem to even get interviews now that I’m a year out. Job market is real tough.

I kept my phone number from a different state so everyone that calls from that area code can be ignored. I also have AT&T’s ActiveArmor app (free) and it blocks most of them. I used to get 2-4 a day but I’m down to 1ish a week now.

Answering vs not answering didn’t really ever make a difference for me, but I’ve heard lots of things like don’t answer and they’ll think the line isn’t real or answer but play the do Do DO sound effect or answer but leave it silent. Not sure if any will help.

Minimizing to tray by default when you hit the x button.

Especially when there is no way to change the behavior.

Purely commenting on the TikTok and not the article:

“… career fair aimed at women and non-binary tech workers…” and then there’s a TikTok that says “A conference for (wo)men by women” and “the allies are totally allying”

So do only female presenting nonbinary people count?

(I know if you read the article that it says there was an increase in the number of self identifying males but how would the TikToker know that? The TikToker is just looking at the crowd and assuming that the place is overrun with men without actually checking if they’re NB.)

"But there are concerns that programs like this can incentivize spammy posting, or ‘engagement bait.’ "

The cryptocurrency subreddit started this a while back with their Moons and it completely changed how the whole subreddit worked. The monetary incentive seems to ruin any sort of natural engagement.
