Yeah even on free I never got a Spotify add on a podcast. Those were the podcasts themselves putting ads in.

For real... just make a new account. It's fucking discord. It's not like some game where you lose progress or something.

I pay myself in handjobs.

I get that but it's still weird. If that pile of shit had been my first introduction to reddit I'd have never stuck around.

I truly cannot understand how anyone can use new reddit. It is worse by every metric.

I just gonna go live in the woods and take up bird watching or something.

When I set something up I write all the steps I'm doing in obsidian as I do it. The pages get tagged so they're searchable in the future.

That's what I expect of them. That's why I said it. Getting bullied was far more damaging to me than anything I ever encountered on the Internet.

My point was you can't just restrict the kids access to the Internet, you have to also make sure they're able to hang out with their peers. There has to be a balance between giving them the freedom to do shit and sheltering them.

All their peers are on discord shit talking them for being the weirdo that can't do anything. While I agree that it needs to happen, fixing this is going to require more than just individuals restricting their own kids. It's going to take a collective effort, requiring a decent time investment, from all parents or at least enough of them to ensure their children have a decent social network. I'm not optimistic with how fucked up and exhausting every single aspect of life has become. There are things politicians could focus on to actually improve the situation but they'd rather cater to all the data stealing corporations.

Whoever's currently responsible for the kid should be responsible for watching them and keeping them out of shit they shouldn't be getting into. Expecting everyone else to put up with this privacy invading shit is fucking stupid.

There's only a few communities I'd be interested in seeing come over and they've already made it clear they're not interested in moving because of reddits enshittification. I don't think lemmy should cater to people who can't be bothered to get over the small initial hump of choosing an instance. We don't need more users just for the sake of more users anyway. People like that aren't bringing anything to the table anyway.

Yeah, I found resumes to be a pretty poor indicator other than kind of "subconscious" things I started picking up on after a while. I doubt any AI or program could manage that though. I can't even quantity it myself. Talking to someone is infinitely better and I'd always try to get in as many interviews as I could.
