Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?

Yes! I've been saying this for many years, but my Apple cult-member friends don't want to believe me. It's gotten better over the years, but Apple used to be so incompatible with everything else, almost like it was done on purpose to force more market share....🤔

The pandemic definitely pushed companies into finally adopting it, but believe me, it was not a new concept. I remember reading an article 20 yrs ago about Best Buy adopting it, for example, and how it increased productivity and morale, etc. Since then, it's been catching on, I've had plenty of friends that have worked from home since long before the pandemic, it's just that a lot of companies were still afraid of giving their employees that much autonomy.

People can like her song (although, it's way more punk if you hate it), she's just never been punk.

Soon, you won’t need a Clipper card to ride BART or Muni. Here’s how it will work
In San Diego, you pay just $5/day for a Pronto card which allows you to ride buses, trolleys, and light rail all over the county. I've gone from the airport to the Mexico border this way. Wish the Bay Area had that going.

I hate how the holidays create all this extra responsibility and stress out of nowhere and then the media / culture also act like you're meant to be having such fun the whole time
This isn't an unpopular opinion, a lot of people feel stressed during the holidays. However, to be fair, what are the stores and ad companies supposed to do? Of course they're going to portray the holidays as a happy time, it would be strange and against their objective if they didn't. Heads would roll at Ye Olde Major Ad Corp!

‘Pure greed:’ Etiquette expert explains why tipping has gotten out of control
The first comment on that article when I read it, the guy says he will not tip his delivery driver if there's a delivery fee. I can't believe that after all these years, people still think that a driver is going to see one cent of a delivery fee. I remember Pizza Hut implementing a $1 or $2 delivery fee back in the late 90s, and our tips took a big hit. Back then, I figured that was just a learning curve, and eventually soon people would understand that it is not part of a driver's compensation, but I guess here we are, 25+ years later.
Please don't punish workers for a corporation's greed. A delivery fee is not a tip.

Block Entire Instance?
Click on the instance icon on a post, it'll take you to the instance page. Across the top will be several options. Scroll over to "block" and click that. It seems to take effect the next time you open or refresh Lemmee.
Edit: I should add, I have Sync, not Thunder, but it might work in a similar way.

Every moron who doesn't tip thinks this way. Nobody wants to tip, and hopefully someday it will be universally abolished, but until then, this is the way it is and people are just trying to supplement their minimum wages to make a livable income. So just tip them appropriately for the work they do for you already, you moron. I guarantee that as a non-tipper, you are on many service workers' shit lists, so I guess if you're not getting good service, it's your own fault.
