I had a coworker who used to dress like this, his go-to was a naval peacoat with a top hat.

On Halloween he came to work wearing a hoodie and jeans and it freaked everyone out.

Burnout is a symptom of exploitation but not all burnout comes from exploitation. You can burn out from non-work activities like caregiving. You can burn out as a business owner or a member of a worker-owned co-op. You can burn out at a job that only expects healthy hours because you're an overachiever who refuses to take time off.

Once again the internet conflates "introvert" with "crippling social anxiety/executive dysfunction".

Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans

I get that you've got good intentions, but this reads like an email I would find my spam folder and I can't imagine it would inspire any reddit mods to move over to Lemmy. The mods who were so dissatisfied with Reddit that they would be willing to migrate with the information in this script have already done so.

There are likely be some who might be willing to migrate if they get personal support from an instance admin or some other tangible offer of assistance, but nobody is going to jump ship just because "Reddit Bad" anymore.

Not saying that Facebook/Meta aren't terrible but this is a misunderstanding of what happened with Cambridge Analytica.

Facebook didn't sell anything to Cambridge Analyitica. Their API at the time allowed CA to gather information about you and all of your friends when you took one of their free personality quizzes (during the era when 90% of Facebook was people sharing personality quizzes).

When Facebook found out what CA had done, they fixed their API to prevent it from happening again (not because they cared about user privacy but because CA got a bunch of information from them that they could use to target advertisements on their own without paying FB to run ads) and covered it up so their users wouldn't know how massively negligent they had been with their data.

So it's not that Facebook was wantonly selling you data to shady characters so much as they were carelessly leaking your data to any shady characters who happened by.

I always appreciate how the game FTL made "diverting power from life support" make sense. You don't do it when your shield generators are damaged, you do it when your reactor is too damaged to output enough power for both shields and life support.

the funniest ideas were always the ones people came up with when our work kept us up late at night

I see we're still glorifying toxic work cultures.

If I wanted to wake up before my biological clock tells me to and follow a schedule, I could just go to work.

I'm bored, can we go home?

Delicious in Dungeon had a running joke where the dwarf kept thinking the halfling was a child and complimenting him for "being so skilled at his age". Eventually the halfing gets frustrated and says he's 29 to which the dwarf and elf reply "oh so you are a child".

People with crippling social anxiety: I'm an just an introvert haha

Thinking quickly, Generative AI constructs a playable version of Doom, using only some string, a squirrel, and a playable version of Doom.

An attempt was made:

People thought they would be worth something? I thought we were all leaving them in their boxes because it's the only way to keep them from falling over.
