I used to not like it too. But then I actually worked in a setting where everyones personality clashes in really stupid ways. People take it too seriously, Horrible jokes/pranks, nepotism, work relationships, nerds, psychos, OCD, and so on. Its such an accurate take on "I hate it here but everyday is a trip".

Just like real life after the awkward getting to know everyone phase, the series starts to make you really care about these Idiots. The show is very self aware and the cringe you feel, is the same feeling you get being a new guy in a room full of randoms who are all just "trying" to get along.

if you dont like the american one, Id recommend the british version. I understand if its still not your thing, and it is a huge time investment. Id say its worth it, LOTS of people like the show, so its a good topic to bring up, or even put on in the background.

Yeah! great read if you have the time. It can be used to explain alot of things since its a very open take on going from a state of ignorance or naivety to "seeing the light". I think its an important read, since people still in the "cave" are hard if not impossible to "convince" with such a limited perspective on reality.

I further interpret this to mean If we want to pull our fellow man out of the cave, we have to help change their perspective and meet them where they are in their journey out.

As someone who is likely on the spectrum, they can tell you are... off, in some way. I think we trigger some sort of anti-sociopath response in people that just makes everyone who doesnt take the time to know you, just feel uneasy. Coupled with the fact that we are anti-social. Theyre going to get the feeling like you intend harm, emotionally or physically.

People have litterally told me, "I thought you hated me" or "youre allright, I thought you were an asshole". The reality is I do not want to be here and Id rather be anywhere else. Coworkers try to "break up the routine" and have a chat. But when my schedule is thrown off, i go home later, I eat later, I have less me time, I sleep less, and I blame them.

All that being said, Ive come to realize that being "in tune" with coworkers IS part of any job. You dont have to like them, but smiling at them, holding doors, offering help, making jokes, and being generally upbeat improves overall efficiency. It takes no time at all, and It will keep people from feeling like they need to "confront"you to get a feel for who you are. Its stupid but its how they feel "safe".

If youre busy, politely dismiss conversations and move on. If you cant thats on you, If they get upset/pushy its on them. For being more friendly, I find that watching TV shows about social groups and structure helps alot. Personal favorites include "The Good Place", "Community", "Star Trek", "Golden Girls". I cant think of more off the top, but maybe lemmy can help add some that resonate with you.

"The allegory of the cave" Is another great example!

Thats a pokemon

I think they were saying that, with the google pixel reference in the post. Graphene also has issues, certain apps and services flat out dont work, Its not for everyone. but it is infinitely better than stock imo.

Any place asking me to scan a QR for a menu, or need an app for parking probably wasnt worth it to begin with. Yes practicing privacy is not going to "feel" good thats exactly what they want. Just keep fighting back where you can, Make it as unlikely as possible for them to get what they want.

Every person In this comment section has leaks in their system. Unless they are some data security expert, theres simply no way to get by without being "exposed" at some point.

Keep up the good fight. Its worth it. Your eyes and your data are the new currency. Keep their hands off it.

Edit: there is alot of good info in this comment section people should upvote & downvote this post to balance it into being "contraversial" to get more eyes on it. Simply downvoting someone with a "bad take" Is imo unproductive.

This is the pond. Its a nice pond. Moving on.

It is a good anime but Its been out for years and maybe if they keep seeing it referenced theyll get around to watching it. The episode in question is basically filler and doesnt provide much to the overarching story

I just like to ride the cart through the parkinglot and try to aim the cart into the cart corral and jump off last second. I made it into a game, im sure people look at me funny.

Interested if you have an article or video you are referencing here, would love to read/watch

Probably, but im more concerned with archiving the years of information being poured into the platform.

I tried voyager, Its missing post viewing modes that I loved from boost and baconreader. I do not tolerate ads that is slander lol, I did a 1x payment to support the devs and now dont get any ads, If they update voyager with the features i need, Ill do the same.

What happened? Did the original mods protest and reddit itself just make a new one? I know there were alot of communities that shut down for a day or two when the API changes happened.

I think it really boils down to the owners of the servers doing the right thing. I mean that in terms of properly organizing the important information on their server and archiving it elsewhere simulateously.

Otherwise yeah I agree its just a furnace In which data is being shoveled into, Rather than a single event as I implied.

Again, someone knowlegable please tell me we are wrong, and a solution exists, or is in development.

I wonder if discord shuts down due to lets say its predator problem, will this be a library of alexandria type event? Obviously wed attempt to grab as much as we can before the "library" burns down, but how? To my understanding every server owner would have to install a bot to grab all of that data themselves.

Someone please tell me im wrong and why because I hate this.

Openly? Banned.

Same! Boost Is definitely the best ive found. Even the free version is incredible the ads only apear in a tiny box at the bottom in the comments section. Super unintrusive, I supported Immediately after testing out other options and landing back on boost.

I just wish they could somehow implement saving posts and going back through upvoted content similar to how it worked on reddit, but i understand that there are probably technical limitations and less financial insentive.

oh, stop it you <3. In all seriousness though this whole post's comment section Is just proof of what im saying. Gotta spread that love around Im just saying what we all kind of silently agree on.
