I’d love to see a rise in quality OC. Migrating and reposting content isn’t always the answer.
Other platforms have an undeniable wealth of knowledge and a history that’s over a decade long.
That doesn’t mean we can’t make something great out of this. I just know that I’m not the best content producer.
I agree with this completely. It’s essential to step outside, enjoy time with friends, and disconnect for a bit so as to not go too far down the rabbit hole.
I try to contribute when I can. I miss organic feedback and interaction.
I guess it just makes me upset that the internet is turning into a grocery store checkout lane.
I’ll pay my dues and sit though ad breaks. That being said, I loathe the current model of being endlessly tracked. There’s a firm line in the sand for me between collecting anonymous user data and direct user data collection.
Fair point. But, medically and developmentally speaking there are people with a lower mental capacity that literally can’t read. The entire adult care industry exists for a reason. Those people need something to do so they don’t simply waste away.
If it’s a legitimate issue of illiteracy there are companies that rely on illiterate workers and workers with other special needs to legally shred their sensitive documents. It’s amazing for both sides. It takes the concern for privacy off the table and gives a person a job, money, and a sense of purpose that they otherwise might not have.
In an age where most information is digital there are still a lot of industries that rely on paper and for sensitive information and sometimes that paper needs to be shredded. Legal documents, HIPAA standards in the US, and trade secrets are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
You could tempt a lot of people into rehab with a halfway decent stroganoff
Happy Birthday, Weird_Nugget! Do something special for yourself no matter how simple. Hell, it could be as small as stepping outside or appreciating a glance out of a window. Whatever it is, know that we’re all there doing it with you!
I agree with this entirely. A joke can be satirical and bookend a thread but the top comments deserve to at least be thoughtful and insightful. It’s much like how comedic timing and actual contribution have to be balanced in real life.
