Losing RIF was the final straw, glad it prompted me to switchover.

I think that would be good for people who say things that mods speculate are signs of being malicious, like saying that eating meat is fine in some other random community being assumed to mean the person can’t handle themselves in a vegetarian or vegan community, but aren’t completely sure.

I think meat eating is fine. I also don’t go into vegan or vegetarian communities to shit on their approach, but I do visit them for the recopies! Putting me in a filter is more work for them compared to banning me, so I don’t think that mods would take advantage of that feature if their assumption is malicious behavior.

If people are willing to pay, sure. But you can pay as much as you want but people won’t necessarily be interested in a skilled trade if the pay in general is low. That is a long term commitment and not solved by a single employer.

Can he afford to?

Current trades are underpaid for what is expected from them.

Sub moderation and site administration are two different things. Site administration wants engagement numbers, mods want to reduce their workload.

Popular subs are run by moderators who don’t want spammers and trolls with new accounts so they put in the karma restrictions so the smaller subs can get those users first. They also have what they think is ‘spammer and troll behavior patterns’, which looks the same as a new user who wants to post in a specific high traffic sub with a karma requirement It is stupid, but they have fewer comments to moderate in their very busy subs so they consider that a win. They want long term users who have a history they can use, because they are popular.

Most reddit subs not run like that.

But the reasons that lead to that end result are wanting engagement numbers to increase shareholder value as the other two printed out. That is also reddit administration doesn’t seem to do anything significant about bots posting slop, because it inflates those numbers.

“Let’s not do anything then.”

In my experience it still improved things after the meds wore off because I spent less time kicking myself for screwing up earlier in the day! So it had positive impacts outside of work and school because I could enjoy the more relaxed stuff.

I do use games to help unwind in the evenings, but as long as I do it in moderation it is more like mental meditation/exercise which helps with sleeping and overall mental health. I play games from about 8-10 p.m. nowadays, because it is after family things have settled down and about an hour before bedtime.

If the posts in other communities show an intent to cause disruption for a specific topic, they do make sense. As in they take the initiative to cause disruption, posting bacon pics in a vegan or vegetarian community, going into an LGBTQ+ space to spread homophobic or other hateful messaging.

Banning because they made a joke in some other unrelated sub that could just be sarcasm? That is just fishing for users to ban.

Iran restsrting their nuclear program could have been avoided if Trump didn’t undermine the 2015 Iran nuclear deal back in 2018. Maybe it would have fallen apart at some point, but he guaranteed the failure so that Israel could keep using the boogeyman of Iranian nuclear weapons.

Pooped them out.

Climate crisis solved! (US only, exclusions apply)

Universal Technical Institute is in shambles.

Make the best use of your medicated time to build routines for consistency, which in my case helped even after the meds wore off (eventually). Putting keys and wallet in the same space actually stuck after taking meds!

Other than that, do consider that the meds won’t work all day so plan around them. Work and home upkeep while they are working is great, downtime for things like games or winding down after they wear off. It won’t cause motivation to do things you want to do while it is working, but it sure helps with barriers!

Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants.

Being a DM taught me to think on my feet, but to make sure to only say what I am confident in so it doesn’t bite me in the ass later. I learned to manage my ADHD compulsive blurting out everything that comes to mind so players can be the focus, and to consider complex and unexpected situations.

Also learned not to focus on blame along with being able to admit mistakes.

I recently thought geese just ate bugs in the grass and even said so, but apparently they graze on the grass. I admitted my mistake when I found out a couple days later.

Work full time, no overtime. Family and kids. Regularly play a couple hours each evening after taking care of everything else. Actually get an extra hour on days I work from home because of no commute and I can do laundry and other stuff on breaks.

Ranked isn’t fun, bunch of sweaty players.

When I did a search by user in settings after MrKaplan’s reply I saw they were listed twice with the same instance/name. Added the second one too and now there are two Blocked entries and all comments blocked.

Yeah, I know. This was a case of a single user who was blocked, but showing posts external to lemmy.world (my instance) but successfully blocking on the home instance. MrKaplan looked into it and there was a sync issue with their instance and the user had duplicate records at lemmy.world so I had to block both.
