It needs to be understood that the culture before this happened was very different than it is now.

The mods basically owned their subreddits. Mods could do anything they wanted. You could ban someone for the color of their socks. You had full control of the CSS coding and functionality of your subreddit, so you could make it look like dogshit for the laughs and ban anyone who typed the letter L. Some subreddits got popular just for being weird like this. Whatever you wanted to do, it didn't matter. If you didn't like how a subreddit was ran you just made your own. If you made a subreddit then that was the corner of your internet to do whatever you wanted with. That was the tradeoff. You got a space in return for creating it. You didn't even need to moderate it.

After the mods got removed from their subreddits for protesting it became very clear that the subreddits were not theirs anymore. It was the first time reddit ever took actions against moderators for something that wasn't blatantly illegal.

Ever feel this way?

I enjoy engaging with anyone who's passionate about something, even if I have no idea what they are talking about. I know too many people without a passion for something and I can't relate to them at all.

To be my friend you must have a passion for something, even if it's not the same stuff I'm passionate about. I can still resonate with that energy.

I have a friend really into crochet and that's so not my thing, but I enjoy listening to her talk about it anyway.

How do you manage to study when you don’t want to?

I couldn't either because I had undiagnosed ADHD.

Once I got the meds I was able to tolerate it. Try drinking coffee when you study to see if it helps.

Other than that I really limited my study time. I stopped for the day after two hours no matter what and kept it to one subject per day, and rewarded myself with something I wanted to do after.
