What the fuck. I used to go there for tabs all the time when I picked up guitar. Sadly I stopped playing but to hear that that website is all pay walled now is disgusting.

Nah. Report it as spam. Still gets moved to your spam folder and if enough people do it, they’ll be flagged by default.

Same. I had to stop because of them.

I won’t be forced to work 6 days again and actually a good 3 days off so I can recharge for once.

At the end of the day, as long as there’s two people left on the planet, someones gonna want someone dead.

One of my previous jobs had an employee exercise room. Some people used it and management didn’t like that so they said we’re not allowed to use it during our shift and only after hours. It was a government position so we weren’t allowed to be in the building before or after our shift.

These places only use them to advertise to new employees how “friendly” they are.

That wasn’t the original argument now was it? If you’re going to move goalposts then at least be halfway correct the first time.

Yes. Not sure what the other person is on about. Hot water can have more sugar dissolved in it. When it cools it crystalizes but only if the saturation level is higher than what the water can hold. It’s how rock candy is made. This is like basic chemistry.

Came here to say something similar. Currently hating life and fantasizing how I’d quit my job and burn this bridge

Advertisers have been doing stuff like this since forever to get you to look. Some ads will subtly add extra limbs that you won’t notice by glancing at it but your brain notices something is off and will make you want to look closer

Too real

I used to browse it about 15-20 years ago.It used to be a good place to learn tricks about all sorts of electronics. I’m not sure exactly what happened but it was like a switch flipped and they got awful almost overnight. Probably bought out.

At one of my old jobs I remember getting a 9.2 out of 10 on a performance report. When they called me in for a meeting I was thinking I was getting a pat on the back. Nope. It was “you could’ve done better”. That was the day I learned to stop trying and just say fuck it at any job since then.

They. Do. Not. Care. So if I’m going to be treated the same regardless if I put in 110% or 50%, then why bother?

You stoopid

Yes. I once was using an old laptop for travel and didn’t care if it got lost. It hadn’t been updated years but I got a nasty virus from visiting Spotify once that embedded itself into the tcp/ip stack. Not that I cared much for the laptop but it was a wakeup call that ads contain viruses. I’ve ran adblockers before that incident on my main computers but since it was old I didn’t I have everything up to date. Since then I’ve made sure to install ublock origin on any computer I touch. Even friends and family with their permission.

I could write an essay on why I block ads but the other comments sum it up pretty well.

They never directly said what their criticisms were, but I can only assume they’re the types you wouldn’t elaborate on when trying to get people to side with you over “censorship”.

Which to me is funny because they know they’re wrong.

No one wants to admit they ate 9 cans of ravioli.

I deleted my reddit account years ago and lurked only because trying to interact there was a cesspool. Learning about the alternatives and seeing how well behaved it is over here on lemmy is a breath of fresh air. Sure there isn’t as much content yet but it’ll come. Reddit wasn’t an overnight success either.

I feel after the 3rd party apps get killed off we’ll start seeing a slow trickle of users after the initial flood once the ones that stuck around start realizing the content that’s left in reddit has become low effort bot posts and spam.

Unfortunately from what I’ve seen on big gaming subs is that enough users simply don’t care. Take a look at /r/rocketleague for example. Mods made a post saying they can’t permanently black out the sub due to it being owned by psyonix and the top comment on that thread has hundreds of up votes and comments saying they don’t care about the API changes. It’s really that mentality of “I don’t care unless I’m personally affected” is why we’re in this mess to begin with!

Sounds like you should stay there. You know, to trigger them.
