My rule is, never post anything you wouldn't mind the media tracing back to you IRL and then making the top story of the day in your country.
So don't live, basically.
Or you can just maintain anonymity as best as you reasonably can and hope no one goes out of their way to identify you or the account(s). Making a new account after awhile is a safe practice. The goal is to decrease the likelihood of undesirable things, not make them impossible.
Which in turn decreases the likelihood of something happening. Like locking a door.
The saying "If somebody wants to get in they will." is a terrible one when left as is.
So~ having recently seen The Blackening (2023), I'm just gonna say that that movie will probably bring up bad memories, make you uncomfortable, and valid you at the same time. Happy Juneteenth.
I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

Just gave me the best idea. Pump a stock and dump it after. Is this ethical? Probably not. Should I screw over countless people who jump in to ride the wave (and hold on never knowing what was actually causing the rise)? No. Will I actually do this? ...naw ๐

For me, the main part of receiving upvotes is the "knowing" that someone agreed with or appreciated my comment. Encourages me to continue commenting. Like the opposite of being ignored during group conversations.
All rich in comparison, sure, but most of us are probably struggling to maintain our lifestyle or investing in a better future for ourselves and/or loved ones. Atleast some of which is keeping up with the Joneses. Issue now becomes a matter of resources. How much time, energy, finances, patience do you have left over to help strangers in another country? How do you justify (to your peers aswell as yourself) aiding foreigners before your own?
Billionaires likely have a very similar situation going on. Just on a very incomprehensible level due to how far away their class is from lower and middle. Do they have as good of an excuse, though? From the outside looking in, I doubt it. Maybe the necessary security and cost of housing (why would they live in a poor neighborhood and risk burglary or death?) brings their finances down further than we realize. Would explain why they avoid taxes so much, but that's some benefit of the doubt shit. They could just be greedy as hell and have a class culture that encourages it along with wasteful spending. Who knows. Maybe, like a classic White, they're taught to hate "the poors".
I just wanted to know if anybody knows of specific kitchen utensil brands that're actually worth buying long-term. Or atleast which ones should be avoided....
Don't care for noticeable scratches in my dishes and cookware, but also have concerns about slowly damaging non-stainless steel over time and putting its material in my food. Currently, the former is the only concern.
Restaurant supply places are great to get utility pots and pans / extra spoons/slotted spoons/covers/plastic storage bins etc.
This is the route I'm gonna try to take (finally getting around to it). Other brands mentioned are backup plans.
Glad other people searching this question will find answers, though.

How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you?

/r/memes gives hilarious data in re: spez's assertion that most users want things back to normal; changes rules accordingly (old.reddit.com)
