I am now addicted to BitBurner and I blame you

Care to share what you use to do surveys for Amazon money? How long have you been doing it?

It’s not that my boss cares per se, but I still think people form a subconscious image of your work ethic, and I think it’s always better to be seen as a “hard worker” when it comes to promotion time

An ex gave me an old pair of her’s that she used for work and I’ve been a fan ever since

Thank you for the work you guys put into this! Definitely my favorite client, and it’s really starting to feel mature

Honestly, that makes it funnier to me

I’m on board with bashing project 2025, but I don’t think I’d call those “4th rate universities,” at least not UT Austin

Lot of people in this comment section are neglecting that it can just be fun for some people, and there’s no need to stake your entire identity on a personality test

This post makes it seem like the Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn actually makes it harder to shoehorn, when the opposite is actually true!

I love my Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn!

St. Louis’s Forest Park is bigger still at 5.3 km^2

Man, this must just be a right of passage for working as a SWE or MLE at this point. I’ve heard this pitch from coworkers/managers more than once.

Buddy, I’m not telling you it will work for you. I’m talking about on the whole we have scientific evidence to prove that it is effective. I’m literally only responding to your claim that “therapy is pseudoscience.” No need to get so defensive.

I still somewhat take issue with that characterization though. It doesn’t just “work for me and that’s okay,” it works period. It has been clinically shown to work for other people too. I only say this because spreading misinformation about it being “pseudoscience” and ineffective only serves to continue some people’s pain and never find an effective treatment for them, and I believe that’s potentially dangerous.

So, knowing this, what can we conclude from these graphs? It looks like posts and comments are going up but active users are going down. Does this mean that the posters are posting more individually? Enough to offset the drop in active users?

It’s mostly for things that don’t warrant a post but your friends might still think are interesting. I’m big on live music so it makes it easy for me to see a snippets of shows people go to or even to figure out if friends happen to be at the same show, but that’s just my personal example.

Anything in particular help you shift away from that?

I have gone through some trauma therapy that has helped where no talk therapy has been able to. There are lots of studies showing the effectiveness too. Look up EMDR or brain spotting.

I really just have to push back on the “doing nothing at all” or “talking to a rubber duck” piece because I’d been trying that for years and trauma flashbacks don’t seem just go away on their own.

Good info! Fwiw, I wasn’t intending for it to be “inflammatory bait”, but a jab at the congresspeople who use “for the children” as a way to sneak in bad legislation instead of actually doing things that could protect children

Tbh I’m kind of surprised no government has set up a service themselves to deal with situations like this since law enforcement is always dealing with CSAM, and it seems like it’d make their job easier.

Plus with the flurry of hugely privacy-invading or anti-encryption legislation that shows up every few months under the guise of “protecting the children online”, it seems like that should be a top priority for them, right?! Right…?

Anyone from Germany care to comment on why this is? Y’all seem to have such a large presence on here compared to others
